Nostalgia-fest!

[The Curmudgeon]

I'm surprised I haven't actually thought of this before - a collection of videos from Youtube etc that harken back to our wasted youth.

Feel free to add any you like, and let's all just sit back and remember when life made sense.

He-Man opening credits..

Thoughts: Why DOES Adam suddenly know to say those exact words? What kind of sick fuck takes an electric sword and points it a cowering animal? How did he know it wouldn't frazzle poor Cringor? And why, when he's finally finished telling us his origin, does he proceed to attempt to punch US in the face? Big blonde dick.

Defenders of the Earth opening credits..

Thoughts: I don't know why they didn't just replace "Lo-thar!"'s name with "Token Black".

Dogtanion opening credits..

Thoughts: Why do some of the characters wear things covering their bottoms and the others don't? At the end where Dogtanion walks away you're forcing yourself NOT to look at his naked ass. And what kind of prick goes into a fruit shop, cuts an apple into bits and blows the pieces all over the floor? I'd be like "yeah - nice. Here's a brush."

Dungeons and Dragons opening credits..

Thoughts: Peter Cullen has perhaps the coolest C.V in the world. He voiced Vengar (the super cool villain) from this, K.A.R.R in Knight Rider, Optimus Prime in the Transformers cartoon and new movie, as well as, erm, Mario. How cool is that?

Anyway, check out the baffling French intro to D&D. How the hell are you supposed to know what's going on?

So that's my lot for now. Feel free to add your own, or I may add some more later. Sigh.. memories..

I've got a SPECIAL one for you all out there:

Exclusive **and OOP** Hardee's GREMLINS Adventures Read-Along 5 Records set (and YES...these are scans of MINE!)








To tell a short story; I used to live across from HARDEE'S, and when GREMLINS came out you can bet I went STRAIGHT there the start of EVERY week to stand in line to buy my Kid's Meal just to get those records. Sadly, these aren't the ones that I stood in line for (God, do I hate my cousin for all the toys he ever ruined that weren't his ). However, they are in EXCELLENT condition for their age. That includes the records themselves! ;D

Incidently, I did go to work for HARDEE'S when I was 16. I remember mentioning these records to the shift manager (who was a cool guy) and he just blurted out "Oh. You should've come here to work a year ago. I cleaned out a few UNOPENED boxes of those."

When I asked where they were, he sad (in the most NATURAL way) "Oh, in the trash."

So what were those books about, Wolfy? New stories or bits from the film?

[InvisibleWolfMan]

Hi,

Bits from the film with voice actors and GREAT sound effects. It's AWESOME!

[InvisibleWolfMan]

I just wanted to update this thread a bit regarding my GREMLINS records. I've transfered the LPs to the computer (boy, do I love my new Lenco (C) USB TURNTABLE) and I'm trying to clean the sound up enough without too much quality loss (tricky as hell). A friend of mine is cleaning up the images and such and it'll turn out to be a nice project.....for those who are interested.

[The Curmudgeon]

How big would the files be, Wolfy?

[InvisibleWolfMan]

It all depends....the images I scanned myself were somewhere over 200 MBs but of course those are high quality scans. MP3's should work out to be roughly 4-10MBs per (depending on the settings I can use). If my friend and I have our way...it'll make it to DVDr.
