JAWS!

So while on the plane on my trip to Sweden I decided to watch Jaws which I haven't sat down an watched in a minute. Jaws actually still comes on TV alot these days but I figure might as well kill some time during the long journey. Here's another little tidbit of info, Jaws was actually the very first blockbuster that started the whole summer blockbuster craze thats going on now.

**The last Drive-In theater that I went to was actually to see Jaws. Damn I miss those Drive-In movie theater days!

The Original Reality TV Show

Way before reality tv became a wack reality with shows like Real World/Road Rules challenge and other garbage, Battle of the Network Stars was the shit! Putting stars from all three major networks (ABC, NBC, CBS)against each other doing different events. Everything from track and field, tug of war and more all for major cash prizes. Sorry MTV, your 30 years to late!

Perfect Combination

Cars and broads.....

You just don't get the hot broad doing advertisement for car companies anymore. Farah Fawcett was definitely the blond bombshell back in the days, rather see her than those crash test dummies! Peep the leather interior on this puppy!

Doctor Shock (Horror Theater)

Now this is classic! Filmed in Philly and aired on Saturdays was the classic show Dr. Shock's Horror Theater. He used to show all of the horror films on Saturdays back in the 70's. There was so much shit to watch on network television back then!

Holiday Marathons

Talking to my man Fredy Blast, who by the way has the illest collection of rare video footage, tv shows, movies etc. about holiday marathons on tv and how dope they are when your favorite joints are shown from sun up to sun down. Today which is Memorial Day, SciFi channel is showing the Land of The Lost marathon and though I already have these stashed away on VHS I decided to sit and watch a good portion while I enjoyed a little Beer and Barbeque. Once again, it sucks that they are making yet another remake of a classic show into a damn movie. Come with some new ideas will you!

Underground Forever!

Ok, so its Memorial Day weekend around 1:30am and Im flipping thru some movies and decide to settle on The Taking of Pelham 123, classic! Now I've been saying for the last few years that Hollywood is out of ideas and needs to stop with the remakes of classic movies so why are they doing a remake?? Here's the origianal theatrical trailer.

Amusement park madness.

Now here's another one of those NBC Made for TV movies that aired back in 1978. Once again, this is something that could never exist today even if you put your favorite pop / rap star in it. I Cant front, those KISS getups used to kinda scare me.
