@ucme I sure did, it was a seven parter on YouTube. But where online can you find the whole thing? Maybe the PSN store has it, Imma have to check.
And that documentary illustrates a lot of what I had myself figured on the genre, so it’s pretty cool that I actually know something about a passion I have. XD and now I know where James Rolfe ripped off all his material from for his Halloween franchise review
@Symbeline It was 5 parts as I saw it…weird.
Loved the part where he said that anyone who has sex in a slasher movie is basically fucked, both ways.
Never knew Tom Savini did the special effects for the original Friday 13th, will watch him in Dusk Til Dawn with renewed respect.
@ucme Might be a regional thing. (five part VS seven) And yeah, Tom Savini rules. You know I really think they should make a number 2 of this. They said as long as teenagers exist, there will be slasher movies; and right now we’re being invaded by countless classic remakes/sequels and stuff, and we have MORE Saw movies. I’d love to see what they’d have to say about recent slasher works. although not technically slasher, they could also mention the Evil Dead remake, as it will most likely fall pray to the whole aspect of declining quality that the documentary was on about.
I had The Who, Led Zeppelin, Rush and James Dean. Lots and lots and lots of James Dean; 8×10’s, a calendar, a bunch of posters. No, I am no old enough to have watched his movies when they were first released.
As a child, I had a poster for One Hundred and One Dalmatians, Beauty and the Beast, and Pokemon. That’s about it. I never had any posters as a teenager because I never had money to buy any. My room now is pretty empty, too. I should probably change that.
As a teen I had a poster from Outward Bound showing this boat (by type, not that boat specifically) on a gray, stormy day with spray breaking all around, a map of Vietnam, since I expected to be going there at that time, and a map of the world.
When I lived at home I didn’t have anything. Once I had a dorm room I plastered stuff all over. There was a print company that used to sell art prints on campus and I bought a few over the years but the one I remember best was Van Gogh’s Room at Arles
I had another print that my ex boyfriend mentioned fondly remembering after years and years. It was a picture of 2 Japanese girls in yellow slickers and rainboots and rainhats fishing off a pier. I clipped it from a magazine…believe it or not, that magazine was Playgirl. I think it was a fashion spread of designer Issey Miyake. Man, was I sophisticated for a suburban girl or what???!
I also used to hang this striped woolen blanket and a wine flask on the wall over it. Oh god! Am I giving away my age or what?
I’d probably still have all the posters and dolls and stickers and crap, except when I moved I had to leave most of my shit behind. I wonder what the hell happened to all my Sailormoon stuff. :/
@CWOTUS It is fairly interesting isn’t it?
Funny that someone broke their necks to answer first with a seemingly scornful approach to the subject, but still.. @Earthgirl So what if you are m’dear, age is but a number…baby ;¬}
@Yeahright Lol, I have a coffee mug with Van Gogh;s Vase with 12 Sunflowers on it. The title is written in french around the top inside rim.. I love it.
@Earthgirl I got a fantastic VG calendar in London that you’d totally love. The pages 6×2” were in glossy card paper with a dotted line so that after each month passed you could detach it from the booklet and use it as a bookmark…clever ah?
@ucme The more I think about it the weirder it seems that there were no pictures on my walls as a kid. The only thing hanging on the wall was a crucifix. Perhaps I grew up in a convent?
Ha when I first moved to Winnipeg with my parents, we stayed in a convent for two weeks while the house we were moving into was being readied. My mom got a job there as a cook, and they just let us stay there free of charge. And it’s true lol, there is nothing in those little rooms except a bed, a chair, and drawers for your clothes; and a big ol crucifix on the wall. and I totally had fun running around the halls and exploring shit all day
@ucme That one wasn’t, but I did have an inverted cross necklace I always wore in my teens.
@glacial Yeah it was awesome. The place was so huge, inside and outside. I spent hours wandering around. Plus the nuns spoiled me rotten, it was a sweet two weeks. :D
