| 2359 | Article | pikachulover | I would always send away for Koolaid points stuff and occasionally enter contests, but I usually never won anything. | Jul 07, 2015 |  | |
| 2358 | Article | Vaporman87 | @jkatz - Or something in the pasta. | They Called Him Trinity | Jul 07, 2015 | |
| 2357 | Article | massreality | Man, I hated that six-eight week turn around for stuff you ordered back then. | Retro-graphic Evidence: Xardion Lives! | Jul 07, 2015 | |
| 2356 | Article | mickyarber | I remember watching the Trinity movies right after VCRs became popular. My uncle (who was my neighbor) had a VCR, and when the first video store opened in out little town, he was renting a movie every other day or so. My cousin and I watched them during the long summer days with him, and Trinity movies were some we watched that summer. I thought they were good then, but have not watched them since. I'll have to give them another look now. Thanks for the reminder. Good article choice. | They Called Him Trinity | Jul 06, 2015 | |
| 2355 | Article | jkatz | Vaporman, all I can say is if you love old cheesy b-movies (and who doesn't?), you're cheating yourself by not watching more Italian titles. It's actually quite amazing how one country can be responsible for both highbrow, arthouse cinema and some of the most shameless, trashy schlock possible. Must be something in the water... | They Called Him Trinity | Jul 06, 2015 | |
| 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 | They Called Him Trinity | 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 | |
