NEWS: I Have Come Here to Chew Bubblegum and Kick Ass ...

So, the 80s kicked off the need for mood stabilizers?

you have pubic hair?

lucky!

Then what the hell are you waiting for?! Get a copy and don't come back until you do. I'm trying to help you.

dude, give the guy a break. netflix takes at least 4 days to get shit to iraqistan.

It's been on my list of things to see for years. I suppose I should get to it.

You know what ruled? Back then.
You know what sucks? Right now.

Unintentional hilarity ahoy!

high five for late model compact vehicles!

oh wait. is high five eighties or nineties? all I know is that I want some neon green stirrup pants and a crimper.

What are you talking about? Meth was first synthesized from ephedrine in Japan in 1893 by chemist Nagayoshi Nagai. Crystallized methamphetamine was synthesized by Akira Ogata in 1919. In 1983 laws were passed in the United States prohibiting possession of precursors and equipment for methamphetamine production.

They talked about meth in the mandatory, "Here's Looking at You 2000 Workshops" - a precursor to DARE - in grade school. My hometown has been in a "meth epidemic" since the early 1980s. Not only was meth in abundance then as well as now, kids were well aware of it.

Fixed. Not well, but it picks up the point

the High Five is ALWAYS in Style.

Sweet! Thanks MrSatan, I need an excuse to take a ride down to Vegas and thumb through the dvd racks for a treat tonight. I loved the Repo Man piece too, I've seen that a dozen times but this one slipped passed me. keep 'em coming!

i've actually seen that movie, thankyouverymuch. and i loved every minute of it. especially the scene where the aliens attacked them after the underground meeting in an alley. good stuff.

Great article and an awesome movie. Another thing to add to my netflix. Thanks for the reminder.

I haven't seen the movie in a real long time, I need to rent it.

I believe before South Park (I could be wrong), Retarded Animal Babies parodied the movie a couple of years ago. I thought it was so funny.

RAB 12

Love it

the best is that Shepard Fairey actually did a print of that scene. They had the retired stencil of it at his show in L.A. this past winter:

An article in lifestyle that's enjoyable to read? That's unpossible!

Does Cooler King know about this?

I'm MisterSatan, and I approve this message.

I have seen this, over a decade ago.... with my brother.

Well, thanks to this thread I have finally seen the movie. I don't know how I never heard of it before. (I'm a class of '89 kid myself)

Of course Bostonbootgirl and I were getting stewed on vodka for the movie. We even paused it to write "THIS IS YOUR GOD" on all the cash we had.

Thanks for the recommendation.

It's such a good movie. Carpenter doesn't get near the credit he deserves for being able to make total popcorn movies that have layers. For instance, the movies also deftly skewers the vapidity of television and the quiet but insistent racism of the times. None of this is stuff needed to understand or enjoy the flick, but it's there.

I definitely enjoy these articles. Keep 'em coming.

PS People that fuckin' whine about things just ain't the way they used to be should shut up. Ya hear me, Chicken Little?
