When I was a kid (single digits) one of our friends got a VCR and he ended up leaving it at our house for a year or so. He left 2 videos. One was a cinema quality bootleg of Star Wars (125 times counted, way more) and the other was a tape of the 1st Ali v. Spinks fight in Vegas where Ali lost (even more than Star Wars in the end). Also Meatballs was fun and American Werewolf in London scared the HELL out of me.

 

Then around 1982 we had friend at the cable company and he rigged our box but... this was when there was ONLY HBO (the ONE switch on the cable box, like an off/on fan switch) and it was like a constant loop of 'Neighbors' (which I paid to see at the movies) and Rich Little's Robin Hood. Then my mom won the local movie ticket raffle 2 years in a row and I saw everything out and didn't look at tv much for 'current' movies.

 

At the same time I was heavily into Marx Bros. movies on Sunday mornings before The Harold Lloyd Show and at 12pm, KUNG-FU Theatre... 5 Deadly Venoms is one of my early memories, and all the Bruce Li, Bruce Le stuff. Then Showtime came out and it was all about Emmanuel and a whole fistful of British 'sex-romps'... Somewhere in there I also saw "Stripes" in the theater and then it reran on HBO a bunch too...

 

AND THEN! Cinemax (MORE TITS!) plus the advent of American Ninja! HELL YEAH!

 

After that I didn't have time for movies because I was outside up in trees being a ninja until I was about 14. After that it was Desperately Seeking Susan and A View to a Kill. Not that they influenced me but that was on the movies. I was being influenced by Suburbia at that point.

 

Anyway...

 

edit: Flash forward to 1986, I was all about the midnight showing of Rocky Horror, saw it every weekend for 2 years, AAAWESOME times. I went on the regs with a whole herd of nerds and it was fucking incredible to see these straight kids unleash week after week. We raced cars, stole drugs from street dealers, beat up other nerds. It was fan-fuckin-tastic. For me it was mostly a guiding thing but to watch them blow the fuck up was incredible. (Now that I look at this post I realize, this is the time I started skating and tagging) It finally came to a head with Tim firing shots from his AR-15 at a woman jogger on 'our beach' one spring break morning. At the same time, the night before we had topless girls on a table dancing to Express Kundalini by Love and Rockets... but I only wish I had movies of that stuff.

This movie and the never ending story were pretty much the only

movies my auntie owned that I was allowed to watch.

My ma would supervise pretty heavily what me and my

siblings would watch (hence the disney movies).

I wasnt allowed to watch 'no titty shows, gangster shit,

and killins". My aunt would babysit us all the time and

she was under strict instructions as well to make sure

that stuff didnt destroy our character...then

my dad would come over to clean himself up, eat

a meal and would put in Rambo/blow all my

poor grandmothers plans to hell. I didnt really

like the series but I liked spending time with

my dad so I watched them.

Damn banana fish... you were on that disney as a kid

 

Gotta admit, brave little toaster was an all time classic for me as a kid.

 

Yeah...my mom would only let us watch that crap.

Because disney was "safe".

But...I think they were the ones right...that like

put cuss words in their movies if you turned up the volume

real high and if you zoomed in real close you saw naked ladies?

I dunno...maybe I got them confused with something else.

 

The brave little toaster was a pretty good movie.

The blanket was the character I loved to hate.
