I really liked that soundtrack. Bought it cold on someone's recommendation. All I wanted was a Pepsi!

Pastry of the Year posted:Because of this Hot Wheel, I spent my childhood years thinking the AMC Gremlin would be a cool and desirable car to have once I was old enough: This could be more of a 70s decadence thing bleeding over, but I always thought beach buggies would be a bigger deal in adulthood because of their presence in toy form in the 80s. Some friends of mine had a Hot Wheel sized Dr Doom driving a beach buggy, and because Marvel Comics were still nerdy, almost underground thing in the UK, I was in my late teens before my idea of Dr Doom being a groovy, psychadelic hero who would fight beach themed crime was debunked.

Oh god I missed the bit about the El Camino, and that reminds me, my grandpa had one of these things: Not an El Camino or even a Ford Ranchero, but a Dodge Rampage, except it was the color of Pepto-Bismol. We had to borrow it when both of our cars were broken down, and that was a bitch because my sister and I had to share the passenger-side seat. I forgot about that, and it’s something that should never have happened.

At some point, she put the turbo drivetrain from a wrecked Omni GLHS in it. Terrifyingly quick in a short sprint, all the structural rigidity of a soggy Entenmanns 8-pack donut box. Perfect vehicle for her: small, loud, quick.

Y'all might already know this, but I thought I should mention that The Stuff was featured in an SA Front Page movie review back in 2003. I'm pretty sure I also watched it on VHS with my dad later that same summer, to see just how bad it was (or perhaps wasn't), but I don't really remember anything about it.

I miss there being more independent stations that just played whatever old crap they had on weekends. The Stuff was one of those movies, along with other horror b-movies like Night of the Creeps and Killer Klowns from Outer Space. Naturally, those were reserved for the 11:30 pm slot, while the afternoons were loaded down with poo poo like Convoy, Smokey and the Bandit II, and movies with guys wearing huge aviators chasing each other through canyons in choppers. Throw in the Three Stooges and Our Gang, followed by old episodes of The Fall Guy and Stephen J Cannell vehicle #238, and you’re set.

I still blame the lovely 1982 Consent Decree between the FCC and the NAB that removed the NAB's then-voluntary agreement to limit advertising to 8 1/2 minutes per half hour program that basically created the modern infomercial, because it hit B-movie sunday and first-run syndication hard and replaced it with smiling white people telling me I'm not cleaning my house right.

October was always the best on those stations because they gloves came off and you could watch a double feature of Creepshow and Creepshow 2 on a Saturday at 3pm.

Neito posted:I still blame the lovely 1982 Consent Decree It took quite some time for that to take hold where I come from because the indies in the greater Cleveland area were airing all kinds of rad junk well into the early ‘90s. Even the ABC affiliate held out a good while running decent old movies on late nights and Sunday afternoons. It did dry up pretty quickly into hours-long blocks of infomercials by say, ‘94 or ‘95, and as much as I enjoyed making fun of Don Lapre or Mick & Mimi, doing so didn’t have lasting appeal. I suppose the digital channels kinda offer a facsimile of the way syndicated programming used to be, but I haven’t had a tv—in any conventional sense, anyway—since Reagan’s funeral.

 When I was a kid wandering around the local video stores, waiting for my parents, I would go into the horror section in spite of myself and this one always scared the hell out of me. It seems silly in retrospect, but I guess it's because it's really easy to viscerally imagine what this might feel like. I ended up watching this a couple of years ago and it was actually pretty enjoyable!

I thought that Square One was a fairly obscure show and that I was one of the few people who knew about it. Guess not! Even though I was probably way too young for it at the time, Square One was one of my favorite shows as a preschooler.

For someone who has never been particularly great at math (and then went on to study a pretty math-heavy major), Square One was a big influence on my early childhood. I wish Mathman was a real game.

I was too old for it, but I liked Mathnet. Didn't one of the guys from that show end up getting in trouble for diddling kids or something? Maybe I'm thinking of a different show. Balding guy with big glasses talking about math with a partner in a "Dragnet" kind of thing? I don't know. I'm just dredging up old stuff that I barely remember.

Square One was the best show ever made. I'm almost 40 and this drat song still wanders into my head every six months or so. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q53GmMCqmAM Also if you're an Oz or The Wire fan you might recognize the late great Reg E Cathey there. edit: while I never ever had a math class touch on the Fibbinocci sequence, I had Mathnet taking care of me. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ldEvpx_e69c Flight Bisque has a new favorite as of 14:20 on Sep 23, 2021 |
