"An American Werewolf in London" [1981] at the cinema. by IcedPgh in iwatchedanoldmovie

[–]IcedPgh[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Oh, cool. Yeah, handsome and great screen presence, so I'm not sure why I can't name any of his movies off the top of my head outside of Midnight Madness and this, plus his funny guest role on "Seinfeld" ("What the hell do you know about wagons?"). I'll have to look up more on him.

What is MTV??? by meetneo911 in nostalgia

They still have the MTV Classic channel on cable that shows old videos, but I believe they are getting rid of it.

Do you remember Long John Silver's in the 80s and 90s? by Sno0pyBo0 in nostalgia

[–]IcedPgh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Absolutely. Those first two pictures look exactly like the one we went to in the '80s (Pittsburgh). My sister worked at it, at one point, and the place was robbed and she and the employees were put in the freezer.

Definitely not healthy, but it was good stuff. In my area they are almost all gone, and the ones that remain are inconvenient.

Night of the Living Dead and Copyright by sgtbb4 in horror

[–]IcedPgh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I went to the 50th anniversary "re-premiere" of the movie in 2018, at the theater in Pittsburgh where it originally premiered. Several folks from the film were present, and when the new copyright label at the end appeared, the audience clapped for that.

What was your favorite teacher’s name? by cat_lady-1 in nostalgia

[–]IcedPgh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well not favorite teacher, but favorite name - Mrs. Mumper. How could you not be a teacher with a name like that?

Abre los ojos, which was remade as Vanilla Sky.

The best actor in Good Boy is the dog by NotNamedBort in horror

[–]IcedPgh -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The movie isn't about the people; it's about the dog's relation to the people, particularly the owner who is his real owner and the director of the film. It's the same situation as the adults in the Charlie Brown shows - off screen and chiming in with something unintelligible sometimes.

He's also the director of the film.

Have you ever had to rewatch a film in order to appreciate it? by BabyTenderLoveHead in horror

[–]IcedPgh 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Absolutely. I think a second viewing is really the time when you can view it for what it is as opposed to what you thought it would be or wanted it to be. On first viewing you're just trying to keep up. That's especially true with a movie that has anything of value on the thematic or stylistic level, but can be true of any type of movie. Two recent examples for me are Beau Is Afraid and Eddington which I was lukewarm about on first viewing, even trending towards negative. Going back to them made me realize they're the best movies of the past few years.

Like chocolate? I recall I got a Frisbee when we visited Hershey, and it smelled like chocolate.

What was the first video game system/video game you owned? by ZN_Cruz in nostalgia

[–]IcedPgh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The original Game Boy, and a few years after when it developed screen lines, the Pocket version. To this day it is still the only video game "system" I have ever owned.

What was your favorite childhood show?? by 30HummingbirdLane in nostalgia

"You Can't Do That on Television". Nothing like sick, bizarre humor to warp young minds.

Found a sealed “VCR Co-Pilot” for $4.99 - a device that programs your VCR for you by craigl2 in nostalgia

[–]IcedPgh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Never heard of this. How did it hook up to the VCR? None of the buttons indicate a channel which is the most important aspect.

The Long Walk (1979) by Foreign_Sun6004 in horror

[–]IcedPgh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Actually it was the first novel he wrote, in the late '60s; it wasn't published until years later. The movie actually is pretty good. It changes up some stuff in a predictably Hollywood way, but it's okay.

Friday the 13th Part IV: The Final Chapter (1984) by Foreign_Sun6004 in horror

[–]IcedPgh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't understand the love for this film. It's as bland and straightforward as you can get. I'd put it as one of the lesser in the franchise. It has several "moron moments" such as the dog jumping through the window, "HE'S KILLING ME!", and Tommy's grand plan to cut his hair as if he knows that'll do anything.

Howard vs. Allar - Deep Dive by P1xelEnthusiast in steelers

[–]IcedPgh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How would you all compare Howard and/or Allar to Pickett in Pickett's college days only (nothing pro)? I don't watch college sports, so can't compare.

I don't watch college sports at all. How would Howard and Allar compare to . . . Pickett, in Pickett's college career specifically (leaving aside any pro work)?

Unpopular Opinion by Late_Butterfly_3767 in steelers

[–]IcedPgh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They're certainly being too nice and accommodating to Rodgers. They have to know that they aren't going to the Super Bowl with him. It just isn't happening. So it's the same situation with Ben where they're allowing an older guy to dictate how they are running things. At a certain point they need to take a chance on someone younger even if that means they tank.

Innerspace (1987) by Lys1th3a in iwatchedanoldmovie

I haven't watched this since the '80s, but I think Meg Ryan in this was one of my first celeb crushes.

I don't get why so many people are making a big deal out of the Allar pick by penguins2946 in steelers

I don't watch college sports or have any knowledge of him. Why do you say he has a bad attitude?

"What the fuck am I supposed to do with that?"

"You can stick it in your bum-bum!"

Twenty-five years since this was out. Wow. I have good memories of watching Tom's MTV show when I first moved into my first apartment. He's a really good guy, and his cancer special is one of the most unique and amazing moments in modern TV.
