i'm only 16 and i liked that movie. probably b/c i'm a metal head, though i was disappointed with the soundtrack though. it needed more black sabbath, devo sucks. horrible movie, i loved it.
i was pretty excited when i saw this, thanks bob. for your next "all micheal bay movies, time for filler" episode, do american pop or fire and ice, both also by ralph bakshi, except fire and ice had the artistic talent of frank frezetta behind it. trust me, google image search his name, and you will see what inspired ironheade in brutal legend (they even mention that in their behind the scene type videos)

Bull. Heavy Metal 2 wasn't all that good, but I rewatch Heavy Metal every year. It has that "WTF" quality I'm always looking for in books, games, & movies. & being an 8 year old girl who didn't know anything about brests or sexuality, I can guarentee you I wasn't watching it for the knockers. I was watching it because I wasn't supposed to. Nor was I supposed to watch The Maxx, Aeon Flux, Duckman, Liquid Television, the Critic....
Well i guess just barely didnt make it on the side of had to work to see boobs.. Because i was born in 91... by the time i was 10 we had a computer with dial up but i didnt care... Because it was slow boring and looked like a tool for learning.. Fast forward to when we got XP and decent speed internet.. And when they start using it at school i was like whooo what is this i dont even! Then i found out about the wonders of the interwebz! So i guess i just barely made it.. But yeah i absolutely loved the goonys reference haha! I LOVE THAT MOVIE! "HEY YOU GUUUUUUUUYYYYYYYS!!!" haha!
"When thirty-something movie geeks like me talk about...." @ ~4m 55s
If Movie Bob was born on February 20, 1981 (see profile at http://www.escapistmagazine.com/profiles/view/MovieBob, and declaration in the clip about coming out in 1981) then he isn't a thirty-something movie geek he's a twenty eight year old movie geek who has lied (or at the very least, implied a lie) about his age. Perhaps to gain some credibility with the generation he's lamenting?
As a newly qualified thirty-something, I'd like to remind the viewers that we had the internet back then, and it could even be accessed by a pov like me. In my early teens there were BBS services, Usenet, IRC and even CompuServe, all of which could gather a whole horde of private viewing material; even if it was rendered in 256 colour crapness and had to be painstakingly hunted for or traded over a really slow and expensive dial-up connection (I thank God for broadband every day, sometimes twice).
Of course, the most encouraging literature was to be found in the cubbyhole 'neath the stairs at the local rugby club. Mmmmmm..... ...Knave magazine.

And none have phrased it finer. I enjoyed the quest, I spent long enough pursuing it, but I don't miss itredem said:

Angelina turned people bi, hm?
...yeah that sounded stupid, even if it was meant to be satirical bro.
The rest of the review was good though; I suppose I can relate to the whole "wanting to see stuff that's hard to see" idea, though I wasn't necessarily looking for tits.

Actually, I happen to be a Big fan of this one Anime from the 80's called "Dirty-Pair" ...I mean this is something that was made 10 years before I was Born, and I Still find it Enjoyable to watch, albeit it DOES have some childish quirks
It was SO good that they actually tried Rebooting it in the 90's with "Dirty Pair - Flash" and even THAT kicked-ass
I think it was because despite being a bit light-headed "-HEY!!! Kei, you just Blew-up that Planet; -Ooops! ;P" ...yeah, and a bit Gratuitous with the Fanservice (and by a bit I mean at Least once per Episode --it is Still fun to watch even after all this time when the graphics seem a bit Dated, and in my Heart, that is what makes it a time-honored Classic

No "old people" speech has ever made me understand how hard it was back then..... how could you handle it I guess I have to give your generation points for that.
I'm surprised you know what Cryptozoology is, bob.
I guess our generation really DOES have it easy, what with the entire sum of human knowladge and primal instincts at our palms.

Just for the interest of those who are curious enough to watch the movie, Sony has it currently available for free on their Crackle website.
