| 2541 | Article | mickyarber | Very fun article! Brings back a lot of memories of my own and what I went through to get mine. | Aug 18, 2015 |  | |
| 2542 | Article | Vaporman87 | I have to say, I wasn't aware that films like this had their own genre... Heavy Metal-sploitation. But it certainly fits. This undoubtedly tapped into a lot of frustration and angst being felt by young fans of Heavy Metal, and kids who've been on the receiving end of a bully's wrath. I was one of those kids too. I was probably one of the shortest kids in my school, and an art nerd at that. So I can relate. Somehow, I managed to steer clear of confrontation for the most part. Sure, there was the occasion when my books were knocked out of my hands from behind, or the stupid "Made Ya Flinch!" fake punch that meant you had to receive a raised knuckle pounding to the arm (seriously... for having good reflexes?), but I kept to myself and away from those I knew might cause me trouble. I can see a movie like this helping to cope with all that. Nowadays, there is such an anti-bully movement going on that such things are borderline criminal. Which, I suppose, is a good thing. But it does make one wonder how prepared kids will be when they face that sort of thing in "real life". You need to know how to face confrontation in life, and how to avoid it. Hopefully that is also something happening in today's schools. But I doubt it. | Heavy Metal-Sploitation Part 1 | Aug 18, 2015 | |
| 2543 | Article | massreality | I LOVE Trick or Treat. I was working at Blockbuster when they were selling off the old VHS copy and I had no idea what it was. I was huge in 80's metal, so I figured, it's got Ozzy and Gene Simmons, I might as well pick it up. I wasn't ready for the awesomeness that ensued. Awesome cheesy 80's horror, with some great music, and over the top special effects. It's an all around good time. | Heavy Metal-Sploitation Part 1 | Aug 18, 2015 | |
| 2544 | Article | Hoju Koolander | One of the most original stories I've read on the site. if there is a more roundabout way of getting a Nintendo, I've never heard it. Seriously, loved it. | How I Got My NES | Aug 18, 2015 | |
| 2545 | Article | onipar | I'm guilty of buying the Wendy's Frosty coupons and using them myself. :-p | Top 5 Best and Worst things to get in... | Aug 18, 2015 | |
| 2546 | Article | Vaporman87 | I can't believe someone so into Halloween would give Wendy's coupons. Onipar, turn in your Halloween Geek badge. | Top 5 Best and Worst things to get in... | Aug 18, 2015 | |
| 2547 | Article | Hoju Koolander | As a KISS fan I am ashamed to admit I haven't seen this one, I will have to rectify that this Halloween. I was ridiculed for TRYING to be a heavy metal fan. Had a band and everything, but nobody was buying the fact that the drama kid who played Kenickie in Grease was a metal head. Ah well, I knew what I liked, whether my classmates believed it was up to them. | Heavy Metal-Sploitation Part 1 | Aug 18, 2015 | |
| 2548 | Article | Vaporman87 | I absolutely picked up on this phenomena, even in my youth. This was especially prevalent when stations would air back-to-back episodes from completely different seasons. The characters would seem totally out of whack. This was such a fun read. I liked this line: "Sure, he won, but that's not really something that should boost the kid's confidence, y'know? It's like giving People Magazine's Sexiest Man Alive cover to the St. Bernard from the Beethoven movies." Sometimes the character development would go in a different direction too. Maybe a character would become more bossy or become the "leader". Sometimes one character would begin to become the focus of the show, leaving other characters with the crumbs. These types of blatant changes would sometimes annoy me. Other times, it might seem to suit the direction of the show. I suppose the cast and crew of a show don't really know what the audience will respond to better until it's been on the air for a while. And then they attempt to adjust things to suit what they believe is the desire of the consumer. All part of showbiz. | Sitcom Characters Who Got Stupid | Aug 20, 2015 | |
| 2549 | Article | Hoju Koolander | @Vaporman87 Yeah, that different seasons in sucession situation was a great way to notice those changes. The other scenario is when the breakout character takes over the show, like Urkel or The Fonz or when they ditched the main character siblings on California Dreams and made Sam, the exchange student the main character. | Sitcom Characters Who Got Stupid | Aug 21, 2015 | |
| 2551 | Article | Mr Magic | Let's not forget Joey Gladstone from Full House. There are times when he isn't smart or doesn't dress smart either. It's the cartoon he's been watching. When they say cartoons will rot your brain, they ain't kiddin'. | Sitcom Characters Who Got Stupid | Aug 21, 2015 | |
