"Feeling Old" - 2014 edition

[BanzaiCat]

Ha...my mom told me the same thing about The Exorcist. I wanted to read the book, but as I was in third grade at the time, she wouldn't let me anywhere near it.

Alien/Aliens still gives me nightmares at times as well, especially the night after I (re)watch it. The other movies are laughably terrible. And even though Colonial Marines was regarded as a pile of crap, it still freaked me the hell out. When Alien vs Predator, the games, came out, I had a really reeeeaaallllyyyy hard time going through them.

I saw Alien when I was in 2d grade or so.  I didn't sleep for a week.  Mom and dad were not happy with the neighbor kid that put it on when I was over.

I saw Alien when I was 10.  I was eating dinner, spaghetti, when the alien burst out of the androids chest.

The first horror movie I ever saw was The Amityville Horror from 1979. I was around 7-8 and some of my buddies and their older brothers put it on to freak us out on HBO around 1982-83. I know the movie is weak but it's kind of a campy classic and I still love it and get freaked out by it to this day. Also love all the controversy surrounding what really happened in that house.

The Exorcist is my all-time favorite/most feared movie, with The Shining coming in a close second. Have never read the Exorcist...I almost bought a special edition hardback of it, together with its sequel Legion, a few years back, for 50.00. I passed, and now that double book is worth several times that much :/

I read The Shining last year and really enjoyed it. Have not yet read its sequel Dr. Sleep.

Seinfeld premiered on July 5, 1989.  And Purple Rain was out last week.  30 years ago.

And Purple Rain was out last week.  30 years ago.

I have 6 straight hours of uninterrupted MTV on videotape from the week of the Purple Rain premiere back in '84.  The music videos are pretty cool - and there are a lot of them - but the commercials are a riot.
