| 2229 | Heavy Metal (1981) | I first encountered this movie in 1989. I was 10 years old. It was probably on TBS; I'm not sure because I didn't have cable. But I was at a sleepover at my best friend's house, where I got to experience the magic of cable occasionally. Everybody else was asleep, and I was flipping channels at 3 AM. I came in right at the beginning of the "Taarna" segment, with the evil mutant army sinking into the mire and the general rising. ?! I watched all the way til the end and I was freakin' ENTHRALLED. For the next 5+ years, I recalled seeing that short, but I had no idea what it was. I never had any idea who Harry Canyon was, for sure. Some time after I got into high school and started going to the mall by myself, I saw a Heavy Metal tape for sale in Sam Goody. I don't think I knew what it was at the time, but like the Pinface post, I was always a fan of animation. And this. looked. AWESOME. So I bought the tape. Some short time after that, I watched it. Throughout the movie, I had no idea that towards the end, I would be finally reunited with the Taarna segment, which, to this day remains to me a masterpiece of fantasy storytelling with a plot driven by events and visuals and very little dialogue. | shakin steak | May 21, 2013 |  |
| 2228 | Favorite comic book based movies anyone? | <blockquote rel="thecrow174"><b>thecrow174 wrote :</b><br>He'll never change.</blockquote> I know :\ <blockquote rel="HarryCanyon"><b>HarryCanyon wrote :</b>Any of these your faves and did you know Oldboy is based on a comic as is History of Violence and Road to Perdition?</blockquote> Never heard of Oldboy. Never saw History of Violence though I want to. Didn't know it was a comic. I heard of Road to Perdition but I know nothing about it. Believe it or not some people haven't seen and bought copies of every movie ever made. I'm curious the size of your collection. I like quite a few of the movies you listed. But half of them, I haven't even seen. Pamela Anderson is definitely sexy, although much plastic. I stand by saying Barb Wire is a dreadful movie and it literally put me to sleep. | shakin steak | May 21, 2013 | |
| 2227 | Cheers | You have to love the theme song. | Mr Magic | May 21, 2013 | |
| 2226 | Cheers | The strange thing is that I didn't really like Cheers. I've only seen about 5 episodes. I am a big fan of the spinoff of Frasier. | pikachulover | May 21, 2013 | |

| 2223 | Dick Tracy (1990) | I prefer Sin City since it's adult themed and all that. I love me some violence. | HarryCanyon | May 20, 2013 | |
| 2222 | Favorite comic book based movies anyone? | Ooh Barb Wire is a guilty pleasure of mine since i was 14 as Pam Anderson has epic knockers no doubt and she was one of those chicks that helped ushered me to manhood. Any of these your faves and did you know Oldboy is based on a comic as is History of Violence and Road to Perdition? | HarryCanyon | May 20, 2013 | |
| 2221 | Favorite retro slogans | "Don't hate me because I'm beautiful." | Mr Magic | May 20, 2013 | |
| 2220 | Cheers | Oh, man. This show, in syndication, usually kicked off my late-night viewing growing up. Until it was supplanted by Seinfeld (just as with the original runs). Such tight writing. So many great, deep characters, and the stories somehow managed to usually involve most of them, without falling prey to a lack of cohesiveness. I know that the Thanksgiving food fight at Diane's house is held among the best moments of TV ever by quite a few critics. But I think my favorite moment is the time they "borrowed" a bunch of food and dishes from Melville's to have a feast in the bar. Was that Thanksgiving too? | shakin steak | May 20, 2013 | |
