    Popeye (1980) was a really strange movie, surreal even.  Am I off base, any big fans on AA?

      I remember seeing this in the theater. Re-watching it recently, it does have some flaws for me: some songs are awful; the finale with Bluto/Brutus seemed rushed.

    I got a robot vacuum from Amazon for a good price and took it for a test run last night.  It works very good!!

    RoboCop is one of those series where you can pretty much just ignore the sequels and pretend it wasn't a series, and it's excellent.

    Yet another tornado has struck.  We lost several trees and power lines are obliterated.  It will likely be a few days (at least) before power is restored.

      X, your post about taking refuge under a overpass reminded me about this video. I lived about 40 minutes east of where this was shot. This was a EF4. This basically leveled a town called Fairdale along Rt. 72

      At that time, we lived in the sticks - so no tornado siren. Dad was the one who noticed it off in the distance. I jut recall being all of the sudden calm to Gail force like winds. Had the prototypical funnel shape. Probably was like a EF2 tornado.

      Scary! In the mid '80s, we had a tornado touchdown about 1/2 from our house. Luckily, it's path was just a corn field. Definitely a sight to behold with your own eyes!

    Whelp, I beat Simon's Quest. I needed a walkthrough(I'd like to see someone beat it without one) but all in all, I have to say it's not a bad game. I enjoyed playing it.

      I purchased this a week or two before Xmas in '88. My friends and I finally beat the game over Xmas school break soon after. The only spot we had trouble with was the red crystal (?) and resulting tornado. We actually called a Nintendo tip line for that one. Apparently that certain clue was somehow lost in translation over here. My biggest complaint is the boss guardians or lack thereof - wish there was one for each Dracula bodypart. Probably also throw in the final encounter with Dracula was way too easy.

      So sorry Frank... I lost mom at the end of May this year due to complications from a major stroke, lost dad in 2015. I guess I'm what you call an orphaned adult - do have my brother and stepdad to keep me sane. Sucks as we get older our folks do too :(

    God I really hope Dracula Hunter gets found by this year, that game's probably the holy grail of Japanese arcade games at the moment.

    I mentioned a few prominent movie anniversaries recently, so here's another: "Star Trek III: The Search for Spock", which premiered 35 years ago this Saturday, on June 1, 1984. A good, solid, underappreciated Trek movie.

    The original "Star Wars" opened in US theaters 42 years ago today, on May 25, 1977. Also, the original "Alien" was released (on a limited basis) on the same date 40 years ago today: May 25, 1979.
