| 1631 | Article | Vaporman87 | Where to begin? My main memory of this movie is that, the months leading up to (and after) it's release were what I'd call "Batmania". NEVER before in my youth had I witnessed a marketing push like that which this movie enjoyed. As you said, you could not escape it... no matter where you were. I had seen products emblazoned with the bat symbol that would never had occurred to me to be something you'd market a film on. It was just insane. And the thing was, I fully recognized it. Even then, at the tender age of 16, only just becoming allowed to drive by myself, I would often think, "Man, this is just crazy." And it worked. That movie was all you read about, heard about, or talked about when it came to films that year. And that's saying a lot, because '89 is arguably one of the best years ever for movies (from a fan perspective anyways). I had that magazine you pictured (might even still have it somewhere). And I know I still have the semi-hardback comic based on the film. I think I may even still have a very threadbare black t-shirt with the '89 bat symbol on it. No doubt about it... 1989 was the year of "The Bat". | Dec 14, 2014 |  | |
| 829 | Article | Vaporman87 | Where to start? :) I have to agree that candy bars were where it was at when it came to candy. I started there, and worked my way down. Probably the candy bar I got the most in a full size version was Kit Kat, possibly because of it's smallish length compared to, say Snickers or 3 Musketeers. I also enjoyed the occasional toy in my bucket, but it was a rarity - even in party favor form. I would have considered myself lucky to have received a parachute guy or bag of army men. For a time, I think I received as many Blow Pops as I did Tootsie Pops. But that didn't last forever. The candy substitute I received the most of were rice or popcorn balls. This was "alright" I suppose, but they were the last to get opened. Regarding Candy Cigarettes, they weren't the tastiest of treats, but they were alright for those days after you've cleaned out the chocolate good stuff. I was lucky enough to be a trick-or-treater before the onslaught of sugar free crap. So thankfully, this was not much of an issue. But anyone who hands out toothbrushes to trick-or-treaters deserves to have their house bathed in toilet paper. Unless, of course, they ALSO handed you a candy along with it. :) Great read TDITH!

| 4011 | Article | Vaporman87 | While Hoskins may be perfect in some ways, he just lacks an intimidating frame. Like I said, he would have had to go ape on the weights for a very long time just to come close to Wolvie's shape. I would probably have gone with somebody like Tom Cruise. He's short, he can pack on muscle when he needs to, and he's insane. Kinda like Logan. | My Dream Cast for a 1987 X-Men movie | Jul 22, 2017 | |
| 2316 | Article | DirtyD79 | While I can't get behind baggin' on the Ninja Turtles I definitely have to agree I hated the rest of these shows too. I wanted to like Cartoon All Stars To The Rescue because hey all the cartoon characters are in it but it was just preachy and lame. | Overrated shows from my childhood | Jun 23, 2015 | |
| 3957 | Article | Rick Ace Rhodes | While I can't relate fully, there was a brief period in my life where I went through this. My parents split up for a period of time back when I was in third grade. They eventually got back together, but it was a weird period none the less. I remember sitting in bed one night, a night that my father returned home after I went to bed. I was pretending to sleep while listening to my parents in the living room have an extremely emotional discussion. I just spent the entire night that night thinking about what the future held for my family and how the life I had up until that moment was likely over. Soon after that is when I started having days out with my dad on the weekend. From the morning to night he would take me out to eat, see a movie, go shopping and just do other activities that he knew I would enjoy. While I enjoyed every day I had with him, deep down on the inside I was upset knowing that this was likely going to be the new normal for me. I guess I’m a lucky kid in this type of situation, my parents got back together eventually. Eventually the entire incident became a thing of the past and was completely forgotten by everyone. | Divorced Dad Memories | Jun 21, 2017 | |
| 4602 | Article | Superman | While I can't say that I remember any of these blocks specifically, I totally miss seeing holiday-themed blocks like this. | Kid Channel Halloween Treats | Oct 06, 2018 | |
| 2589 | Article | Vaporman87 | While I don't share your fondness for this movie, I do agree with some of your points. Jon Voight did an amazing job being a despicable person who ends up crushed in this movie, and you're SOOOO glad to see it happen by the end. And James Van Der Beek's career kind of went nowhere after this. I think, as you mention, his performance is so bad that it ended up becoming an internet meme. And that pretty much spells death if you're in the movies - see Shia Labeouf. | Varsity Blues - The 90's Attempt at Friday Night Lights | Aug 31, 2015 | |
| 1817 | Article | Hoju Koolander | While I find JP3 to be a far superior film to this one, I really enjoyed your article. I love the fold out from the soundtrack CD, what a great decoration for your party. I remember the same confusion with the toys when the original film came out. The Dino-Damage tear away flesh on the dinosaurs was awesome, but Malcolm and Ellie were the only ones that resembled the actors from the movie.

| 4637 | Article | Hoju Koolander | While I was driving around for RetroCon last year I was listening to the Big Orange Couch podcast ep 61 where they talked all about the Nick Or Treat block and especially that process of the call-in prize line and going to the houses on the TV screen. Very fun. | Kid Channel Halloween Treats | Oct 24, 2018 | |
