The Star Wars Holiday Special (1978)

There’s an old adage that we are all meant to learn from our mistakes. If this is indeed the truth, then thank God for “The Star Wars Holiday Special”. But “Wait!”, you say. “I’ve never heard of a Star Wars Holiday Special.” Well, friend, you’d be not the only one. You see, in today’s world, we are meant not to know that such a thing ever existed.

Not that this is something I was pondering at my own free time, but glancing around certain web resources I noticed that this monumental occurrence was about to take place…

G.I.Joe: The Movie (1987)

Yes, I realize that elsewhere on this site, there’s a casting call for a non-existent G.I.Joe live-action movie starring some of the biggest names in Hollywood. But many years ago, there actually WAS a G.I.Joe movie…

Holy Shit. That talking pig again. How the hell did they do that? Well. Very well. Damned near to pefection, if you ask me. I don’t mean that they served him up with pineapple rings and an apple in his mouth, I mean the movie itself…
