| 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 | 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 | |
| 2010 | Article | Vaporman87 | @jkatz: So much of what Batman is to us today was culled from that one series. That's a testament to its impact on fans. | Slam Dunk: The jewel of my childhood | Feb 17, 2015 | |
| 2018 | Article | Vaporman87 | My guess is that with a little less "preaching" the gospel of protecting the environment, Captain Planet could have been something bigger... and might have had increased longevity. The writers tended to focus too much on the lesson, and not enough on developing the show into something entertaining. | Overrated shows from my childhood | 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. LOL | 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 | |
| 2028 | Article | Vaporman87 | I didn't know there were any. Now I will have to mouse over everything to find them. | Christmas: Alone & Kickin' It | Feb 21, 2015 | |
| 2029 | Article | Vaporman87 | My experience with "military kids" is next to nothing. Now, I knew lots of kids whose fathers spent many years in the military. In fact, my best friend's dad fought in Viet Nam also, and so did the father of a friend that lived next door to me. Both fathers were gruff, a bit odd, and hard to judge. Especially the father of my neighborhood friend. His dad was actually pretty weird. He was big into computers, and like to dole out lessons to his son and the oddest times. I recall one time while we were downstairs pretending to wrestle (using pillows as opponents) when his dad came down and yelled at us for it. Yet, we had done that many times before and he had never said a word about it. Another kid in my school whose father was in the military in years past was actually our scout leader in Cub Scouts. He was very military in nature, but not as gruff as the others. My best friend's dad has mellowed out over the years. He mostly sits in his recliner and watches Nascar, football, and whatever else is on TV. He also fishes in tournaments. But there was a time when he was an alcoholic and made my friend's life miserable. Water under the bridge now. | Military Kids | Feb 21, 2015 | |
| 2031 | Article | Vaporman87 | First of all, I have bad news. Sonic figures are still made to be broken within minutes. Jazzwares didn't learn any lessons from Resaurus when it comes to toy manufacturing. My kids have broken so many Sonic figures I could have 3 whole collections of them if they were all in tact. And I agree that rubber band hips were just a terrible and lazy idea. Unfortunately G.I. Joe wasn't the only popular figure out there sporting rubber hips. He-Man did as well. Lazy articulation is what I call that (though in Mattel and Hasbro's defense, the kind of articulation you see today just wasn't around then, and likely would have been so cost prohibitive that you would have never had the opportunity to own the figures period). | Toy Annihilation | Feb 21, 2015 | |
| 2037 | Article | Vaporman87 | Like, how expensive? | Feb 22, 2015 | |
