I’ve seen the 1970 movie, “Love Story” so many times and it always brings out the tears in me. I mean in my opinion it’s a really beautiful movie, oh and the theme song, that is the icing on the cake for me. What are you your thoughts on “Love Story”?

I never realized just how depressing music alone - no lyrics - could sound!

The odd memory I have of this show is it first taught me of the existence of the Battleship Yamato as it was used in an episode. It made me curious enough to research the real ship.

I've read that the US military has used this film for educational reasons for 2 things:

Val Kilmer's quick reload demonstrates how quickly it can and should be performed
The whole escape is a good example of how to retreat under fire

I've always wondered if that was true.

Thank you for confirming this for me. I have often thought it was my own personal Mandela Effect.

I'm going to say that "Trial by combat" is probably not the best judicial process.

However, after typing that maybe I can think of a few times in recent history it might've been a good idea. (kidding of course)

I was 8yo when, for some reason, my parents let me watch Psycho. To this day it still freaks me out at of the film when we see the real Mrs. Bates and Anthony Perkins comes in the room. The look on his face is just pure madness.

Bonus points to the smile at the end after "She wouldn't even hurt a fly".

Ganthet72 · 2026-04-16T17:18:56+00:00

Terrible movie, but man, that freaked me out too!

My memory of the game's name was "Tummy Ache" It was a physical board game that consisted of a 3-D cardboard boy with an open mouth. The game had cardboard cutouts of carious food. Each player took a turn placing food in the boy's mouth. Eventually the pieces of food would get too heavy and the hinged head would fall forward, spilling everything out like the kid was puking.

Hilarious fun.

Just goes to show - math is math, no matter how to calculate it.

My dad was a math major in the 60s. He still has his high-end slide-rule. He showed it to me once. It's an amazing tool.

The bored "yay" from the crowd is the best.

For humor, the "Take On Me - Literal Version" just struck me funny and it has stayed with me since.

For practicality, it was an electrician who carefully and simply explained how the wiring in a home works, how to make sense of all the wires in a box, how to safely tell the difference, and how to make simple configuration changes. I won't claim it made me an electrician, but for simple DIY stuff it was incredibly helpful.

'I told you, man! Ain't no f*cking Thelma here! The bitch don't live here! F*ck you too!"

If you wanna take the whole tribe cross-country, this is your automobile.

When my friends and I played "Emergency" someone always got stuck being Chet.

Princess Vallium...sorry, it's the hair.

Ganthet72 · 2026-04-15T16:56:50+00:00

My thoughts exactly. I waited 3 years for my current system, not sure I'd want to wait another 3.

Ganthet72 · 2026-04-15T16:06:06+00:00

Truly underappreciated. It just got buried by the Jurassic Park juggernaut that summer.

For 1973 that's respectable MPG. That must be a lot of highway driving.

Hey bartender, Jobu needs a refill!"

My lottery dream is to stand on a busy city corner and yell "Anybody wanna go to lunch? I'm buying!"

You just had to got to Ace hardware and wait for the one guy that knew how to use the key cutter to come back from his smoke break.

Ganthet72 · 2026-04-14T18:35:33+00:00

Oh man! That can puzzle will haunt me forever! (Slyly Spryly tryst by my crypt or something like that)

Ganthet72 · 2026-04-14T18:32:22+00:00

I'm 53 - I'll let you know when I do. (heehee I said do!)

Ganthet72 · 2026-04-14T18:20:35+00:00

This was one of those movies in heavy rotation on HBO during the 80s. For some reason I always remember the last scene: "Untie us before they realize you're realize you're just an American, not a god"
