How could they know about Rubik's Cubes

Liberties were taken and no you didn't unless you were a completely rich spoiled brat. Either way I couldn't care less what you had. It only supports the fact that liberties were taken as this kid in a small town working nights in a gas station happens to have a Walkman in 1979? Total BS. And no they wouldn't have heard of a Rubik's cube also. No way no how.

No i'm pretty sure it sounds more like how kids speak nowadays than in that time period. I only remember one character saying oh my god repeatedly in the Goonies and that was Martha Plimptons character (forgot her name).

That's not continuity. Continuity is everything remaining the same between shots, for example, if a drink level changes several times in a scene without the actor taking a drink, that is continuity.
Regarding the phrase omg, I was a kid in the 70s, it was absolutely a part of the vernacular. My sisters said it all the time. -

What we didn't say in the Midwest in 1979 was "gnarly", which Cary says of the older kid's car. The deputy also says something about having saved "some slices", which is a NY/LA thing. In the Midwest, we say "some pizza." And we wouldn't have dared to swear like Super 8's kids. They're worse than the kids in the Goonies.
Close Encounters is way worse about geography, tho. It depicts central Indiana as having cliffs and high ridges, toll roads, and tunnels. -

Nope. If you were a white kid, you didn't start calling people dude until Jeff Spicoli popularized that word in FTaRH.
On the contrary to the guy who said that kids weren't listening to Blondie in '79. I was nine years old when she came onto the scene and I thought she was great.
