| 2039 | Article | Hoju Koolander | @massreality I really appreciate your perspective in the discussion, such interesting experiences. I always wondered how my friends dealt with those moves, I see how that struggle to connect without any hope of long-term friendships could be rough. On the other hand, life on base sounds pretty amazing. I wish my friends had invited me over to the movie screenings, that's a sweet deal! And those final days in the abandoned base must have been amazing. | Feb 22, 2015 |  | |
| 2022 | Article | echidna64 | Excellent idea for an article! Thank you for some interesting tidbits of film history! Orion films would also be worthy of consideration! | An Ode to Cannon Films | Feb 18, 2015 | |
| 2023 | Article | Vaporman87 | Ahhh. Golan and Globus. Favorite targets of MST3K. Great article jkatz. The story of Golan and Globus is SO much like that of John DeLorean that you might think they were related somehow. Big dreams, taking it all the way to the big time, then dying off before the dreams were fully realized. They had some good films, Cobra and MOTU being two of them (even though MOTU could have been SO much better with a bigger budget). But man, they really loved pumping out crap. Crap that we love today for taking itself so seriously, but just plain crap back then. Sell the renter on the VHS cover (<a href="http://www.retro-daze.org/site/article/id/275">as you've mentioned before</a>) and then hope you make the budget back without too much word of mouth crashing your chances. Without the internet, discussing some crappy movie you watched was far less likely to happen. My favorite MST3K Golan and Globus disaster? Alien in LA with Kathy Ireland.

| 2024 | Article | Hoju Koolander | Cannon Films are so important to 80's cinema...and video stores. What would have been playing on cable and Sunday afternoon TV with out the violence filled schlock they pushed out on a regular basis? Of course Masters of The Universe is their most special release to me. Yes, they disregarded everything about the cartoon that made us love it, but it's such a fun fantasy/sci-fi hybrid and inter-dimensional dwarves stealing fried chicken makes me happy. From what I understand Cyborg was created from sets, costumes and script elements planned for the MOTU sequel that never happened. Oh and the Spider-Man movie! I get such a kick out of all the promo materials and costumes they designed for it. It would have been just one step above the 70's live action TV show, but that film would have defined my childhood for sure. Fantastic article! | An Ode to Cannon Films | Feb 18, 2015 | |
| 2026 | Article | Vaporman87 | To just imagine Gary Goddard's original vision for MOTU on screen back then makes me disappointed it never happened. Maybe if Paramount, Universal, or some other big studio could have gotten the rights and budget together, it might have been a real classic. | An Ode to Cannon Films | Feb 19, 2015 | |
| 2049 | Article | OldSchool80s | Nice article! I fondly remember the Ninja trilogy featuring Sho Kosugi. I think I did an issue on those myself once upon a time. But you are right about Cannon being such a big part of cheesy 80s action flicks. | An Ode to Cannon Films | Feb 24, 2015 | |
| 2004 | Article | Vaporman87 | I was right to say that your passion for the subject matter (whatever it was) would make it worth the read. I've never even heard of this show until now, but your description and praise here makes me interested. Does that scare or fascinate you? LOL | Slam Dunk: The jewel of my childhood | Feb 17, 2015 | |
| 2005 | Article | Silvervix | Both, my friend :P I'm glad it made it to the site :)! | Slam Dunk: The jewel of my childhood | Feb 17, 2015 | |
| 2006 | Article | Vaporman87 | I forgot to mention that your breakdown of the level of detail put into the intro/outro as compared to the actual show pretty much applies to every show from the 80's and early 90's (with the exception of most Filmation cartoons, which always looked about the same throughout). Look at intros for shows like Pole Position, G.I.Joe, Transformers, TMNT, on down the line... the intros always had way better animation. | Slam Dunk: The jewel of my childhood | Feb 17, 2015 | |
| 2007 | Article | Silvervix | @Vapor: Yeah, I thought the same when I was typing up but, since the show actually uses different styles to portray the matches AND the regular episodes, I took the chance to praise those sequences as well :P Good tip though! | Slam Dunk: The jewel of my childhood | Feb 17, 2015 | |
