| 2354 | Article | Vaporman87 | Wow. I've never heard of these actors or these movies, but to discover how popular they were even into the 90's boggles my mind. They're like the David Hasselhoffs of Italy! I've watched a few movies out of Italy, but they were mostly dreadfully awful sci-fi schlock starring Antonio Sabato (not Jr., but his dad). I didn't even know why they were called "Spaghetti Westerns" until just now. Is that sad? LOL | Jul 06, 2015 |  | |
| 2353 | Article | Vaporman87 | I was probably not as big a "mail-in" nut as you, but I know that I was always ecstatic when something arrived in the mail box that I knew was the result of my efforts to get such items. Typically from cereal boxes, but sometimes from toys and other products. The hardest part was the wait. You would be so excited for something, mail out the necessary documents, and then expect your prize to arrive an hour later. It didn't take long for me to simply forget I had even made the effort at all. Then, like six weeks later, there would be the prize. That excitement would instantly come back, and just make may day. | Retro-graphic Evidence: Xardion Lives! | Jul 06, 2015 | |
| 2352 | Article | Vaporman87 | The thing is, I watched all those movies in my youth and, aside from anticipating a level of fear, I was never really disturbed by much of it. Fast forward to today, and I see some of what is placed on screen for consumption by today's youth... the "Saw" movies and its ilk... and I am extremely disturbed by what I see. It's too realistic and morbid. I never watched a Friday The 13th film and thought "Woah, that makes me feel sick to my stomach" . Because it was so cheesy. Bright red blood, practical effects that didn't really give a sense of complete realism. | Retro-graphic Evidence: Horror in the 80s | Jul 06, 2015 | |
| 2351 | Article | onipar | Thanks for the comments! Yeah, the video store was right across the street from my apartment, and they had arcades AND a Slush Puppy machine, so it was one of our go-to hangouts. The best thing about being young: everything was an adventure. And yeah, it was a truly messed up movie to watch at that young age. | Retro-graphic Evidence: Horror in the 80s | Jul 05, 2015 | |
| 2350 | Article | mickyarber | I remember all of this. THe early 90's was my wheel house when it came to comics. I shamelessly admit that I was part of the speculator boom, lol. I loved all the Ultraverse titles and was a big fan of being on board with a new universe that I thought was going to last. :( The Ray was a good title with Quesada on board in the early issues. I had that first issue of Nightwatch, but never read it. I bought it specifically for the speculator aspect. Good read. | Five Forgotten Comic Heroes of the 90's | Jul 05, 2015 | |
| 2349 | Article | Vaporman87 | LOL. Funny how our sensitivity levels can change into adulthood - and parenthood for certain. There are so many movies I loved as a kid that I would NEVER let my kids watch, not without ClearPlay anyway. | Retro-graphic Evidence: Horror in the 80s | Jul 05, 2015 | |
| 2348 | Article | Hoju Koolander | Quite an adventure you had there in the video store. Having also seen the vhs tape in video stores my whole childhood and having grown up with the Toxic Crusaders cartoon and action figures, out of curiosity I flipped on The Toxic Avenger on Netflix few weeks back. I didn't make it past that scene of the kid on the bike. That's some messed up stuff right there. | Retro-graphic Evidence: Horror in the 80s | Jul 04, 2015 | |
| 2347 | Article | Hoju Koolander | Great subject and memories. I always dreamed of a treehouse as well. We even had a gigantic tree in our backyard I thought would have been perfect, but the trunk was so tall, the nearest branches were like 25 feet off the ground in the "danger zone". I had to settle for "building" a fort in the bushes at the base of a large tree in our front yard, but it wasn't the same. | Castles of Yesteryear | Jul 04, 2015 | |
| 2346 | Article | Vaporman87 | I loved reading this. I'm reminded of my own attempts to build my kingdom within the woods behind our house. Actually, it was more of a theme park than a kingdom. I would "build" attractions from the trees and various scraps of wood and such. Then I would clear a path using a rake, making trails to each attraction. Then I would name each attraction and put up signage in the form of paper and ink. There was an old tree stand in our woods, but I never attempted to reach it. It was very high up, and I wasn't big on heights. Our grade school playground would have delighted you. Everything made of heavy metal, rusting away. Our merry-go-round was old and withering-the wooden floor cracked and covered in 50 coats of paint. Old wooden teeter-totters that sat WAY too high in the air (and could really cause some damage when your partner thought it would be fun to quickly disembark. Yeah, it had a lot of character. I am glad for the advances in outdoor play equipment, for the safety of my own children. But I would be lying if I said I don't miss the old castles of yesteryear. | Castles of Yesteryear | Jul 02, 2015 | |
| 2344 | Article | Mr Magic | One other thing I would like to point out from "Reptar on Ice" is the lizard's yellow vision. It kind of makes you feel dizzy looking at it. | Odd TV show episodes #1 | Jul 01, 2015 | |
