It's getting in-KREESE-ingly good…
And yeah: I was born in '81... In a small village BUT we did have one videotheque run by a one armed guy who always sported a bandana... Bet your ass he always had the good stuff... Faces of Death, anyone?.. It doesn't get more eighties than that, right?..
Come to think of it: I do not miss VHS players... When I was a bit older, I ran two at once so I could rent a movie, play it, and DUB it... Aaaah the good ole days...

My parents bought our first VHS video machine in 1982.it had a remote control with a cable that you plugged into the front of the machine. If your sofa wasn't close enough to the TV you had to sit on the floor to use it… Slight design flaw
My dad joined the local cornershop video vlub and took my brother and I there to choose our first ever video rentals. This was 82, pre the 1984 video nasties act, so you can imagine what was on offer. After looking at the covers of a number of classics (Cannibal Ferox comes to mind!) my dad negotiated American Werewolf in London for me, and Bruce Lee's Fist of Fury for my Brother. We were 9 and 7 respectively ???
I still remember the animal stormtroopers dream sequence to this day. I ended up collecting oversized box xx video nasties titles when I was older. I sold them, very carefully, to help contribute to the cost of our wedding.
I used to buy and sell with a guy named Mo from South London. This was by phone and post, before the days of the Internet (word to the wise, if you ever do anything dodgy, don't log on to the Internet or email to do it :D) The police raided his property once and found a list of his customer's addresses. Thankfully he gave me a heads up and my collection was in my mates loft by the time the police knocked on my door. Possession and distribution of banned videos carried a max custodial of 8 years back then. Never did find out what happened to Mo.

They were called pirate video I bet…
Remember them in the 80’s and 90’s

Nah, I used to buy/sell original big box copies. Do you remember rental videos when they came in the big padded cases, and your home video collection was stored in faux library book cases?! Very classy.

Why did none of you sit my ass down and made me watch COBRA KAI?.. CAN ANYONE EXPLAIN THIS TO ME PLEASE?..
I just finished episode one and I AM SO FUCKING PUMPED…
I’m gonna be the party pooper and say while the first season was great, the second season was pretty cringey.

I just finished episode one and I AM SO FUCKING PUMPED… Even worth if you have not watched Karate Kid!
COBRA KAI is different. Beatiful flash backs.
Even deeper is the new perspective of Ali in the whole Karatekidcobrakai story starting in Episode 1-8 at 4:26.
„WE NEED TO TALK: In the Sommer of 1982, Rocky III started …“
In this scene, a beatiful non IH made shirt appears.

A VERY ENGLISH SCANDAL… After finishing a second round of YEARS AND YEARS, a political series with a hint of BLACK MIRROR-esque sci-fi, I looked for other stuff written by Russell T Davies and came across this... It stars Hugh Grant obviously having a... grant time.
