No, but was thinking newtboy would enjoy the Godzilla vibes of this video. Also made me think of Ultraman.

Just started watching this groups videos last night. Came for the fun, well choregraphed dancing while enjoying a few of the songs.

Though there are plenty of things in the book that werent from the 80s themselves. Mechagodzilla is from the mid 70s. Ultraman is from the 60s. Heck Monty Python and the search for the holy grail was in the mid 70s, but it really didnt take up till the 80s. Even lepordon was from the late 70s.

The oasis had mentions of World of warcraft and stuff from Firefly. Im pretty sure Halliday would have liked the Iron Giant, the 50s or the 90s version.

From what i hear, they couldnt get the rights to the Monty python bit. So they had to fill that part with something else, possibly the race. And they probably couldnt get the rights to war games either. The movie is gonna be a whole hell of a lot different than the book, but the general premise of the plot should still be the same

Iron Giant wasnt in the book, but most likely heres here to replace a giant robot that they couldn't get a licenses for. Lepordon or ultraman or mechgodzilla

I could see that being a good system. But I'm too susceptible to crap. I was a TV addict. Crappy 70s sitcoms are my crack. Get me in front of a One Day at a Time marathon and I'm frozen for the next 8 hours. Internet video is like methodone- it gives me what I need, but lets me turn it off too.>> ^deathcow:
I use a DVR and look through a week of programming on about 100 HD channels. I pick out what I like, it records it for me. There's a lot of killer crap coming off the shatellites these days. I have a yellow button that skips all the commercials in about 3 seconds.



My crack was movies on the late late late or Saturday afternoon......i would get the TV guide to see all the movies for that week, and schedule accordingly-
And UltraMan and Kung Fu Action....And Gumby and Davy and Goliath or anything claymation.....that shit used to trip me the fuck OUT! And Mutual of Omaaha's Wild Kingdom, Python and the Goodies...

Looks like a comedy sketch parodying the various Japanese "Ultra" shows, e.g. Ultraman.

Isn't Ultraman, like, 20 stories tall? Wherever did they find a hat that'd fit him!?

I got a handfull of deads with no replacements already.....

Their list includes:
My Favorite Martian
Gumby
Gigantor
Daniel Boone
I Spy
Ultraman
Sky Surfer
The Roswell Conspiracies
Extreme Dinosaurs

Oh well....chump change in the world of copyrighted memories.....guess they don't suck real hard yet....give em some time, they will be masters of deep throat before you know it.....

Good weekday afternoon TV. Hooray!

Thanks for all the good posts Theo. Who is your Avatar, I probably should know. Is it Ultraman?

She sure shows that "Obutsu Souzoubutsu"-this looks just like the Ultraman set-and that little kid??? -Doesn't that woman look a lille like Hyata's love interest on the show??

I grew up During the Ultraman years, and pretended I was Hyata- Dug the geezer with the powera th' illegal tobbacco! Booyah!
