- Return to horror high
- Star crystal
- The mutilator
- Sleepaway camp
- Flowers in the attic
- Most movies by the Vestron or New World Pictures / Roger Corman studios

My sister works at a local hotel in the cleaning crew. Vanilla Ice just came to town as a part of a 90's reunion tour with other bands and she cleaned his room. When he left, he left her a tour t-shirt, LOL. She was like "no tip?" and I told her that t-shirt was probably $50+ at the show.

Yeah.. but t-shirts are probably just $10 or less wholesale.

$50 in cash would have been a better gesture. Then the person
can decide whether they want to get t-shirt at the show or not.

Nice story.

Last weekend we were at Lost 80's Live. It's a show with about 13-15 bands that all do 3-4 of their hits. Groups like Trans-X, Naked Eyes, Annimotion, Wang Chung, The (English) Beat, Shannon, Stacy Q, and believe it or not, Musical Youth. This is our 4th year going and it's always a good, entertaining show, lasts for about 6 hours and not expensive. The tour is about to come to a close for this year. I was speaking to the organizer, and he said this may be the last year. It's a lot of effort to get so many bands together in one spot for one night and this is something like their 21st year doing the tour.

I must admit, the venue was maybe half full. They do recycle a lot of the same acts. Wang Chung are always good though, but you can only see Naked Eyes so many times really.

IIRC, one of the original Naked Eyes died a few years back. Maybe the
newer lineup is not quite as jelled.

That must be the best movie ever. Not.

I liked the idea but the gags became old very fast.

Most of those were actually golden. I loved Bronson's ability to look like he wasn't acting all throughout the saga.

Rob Fisher died in 1999 after cancer surgery. He was also part of Climie Fisher.

The Naked Eyes set was basically a not very dyanmic set.

This movie feels like it should be from the 80's but it's actually late
90's Panic Mechanic is some odd South African movie that has nothing to
do with mechanics as far as I can tell...

Yes, this was understood but unspoken between my sister and I. Still, some gesture of thanks is better than no thanks at all.

I live too far out to catch any of the major hitmakers when they go on tour. Closest is either Charlotte or Atlanta for me.

Even for 4th row seats, it wasn't bad. You could get seats further back for $20-30 if I remember.

I live too far out to catch any of the major hitmakers when they go on tour. Closest is either Charlotte or Atlanta for me.

Even here in Dallas, a lot of major acts pass us by. Genesis, for example, didn't touch Texas on their last tour, where as in the 80's and 90's, it was one of the first stops.

I have yet to see that one.

There was a remake with Jason Statham that was quite watchable.
