The 80s Rocked!

I've been squeeing over this for the last two days and nearly forgot to post it here, but Friday the 13th: The Series comes out on Region 1 DVD tomorrow!

Amazon.com has it for $36.99, and Best Buy listed it in their sales circular this week for $34.99. This was close to the top on my wish list for what seems forever, and I'd given up hope that it would ever come out. FINALLY!

From delibby, Deep Discount is having a 20% off sale on DVDs right now! I think the only restriction is that the movie has to be in stock. The promo code is SUPERSALE, which is the one that was listed in the email, but these others have worked in the past: DVDTalk, USATODAY, NYTIMES, DVDPRICESEARCH, SUMMERSALE, YAHOO, ESPN, LATIMES, XM, SOUTHSIDE, WGN, and DDAF.

I had a bit of a spree yesterday, and got some 80s movies:

Real Genius
976-Evil
Two Moon Junction (Carnies. Small hands.)
Alien Nation/Enemy Mine (double movie pack)
Curse/Curse II (double movie pack, remember Wil Wheaton in the first?)
Dolls
Leviathan
Nightmare on Elm Street Collector's Set
V: The Miniseries
Deadly Friend

Deep Discount (formerly Deep Discount DVD) has a bunch of 80's TV shows on sale, including Miami Vice, A-Team, and Knight Rider. They're listed here, and it looks like they have some free Sudoku game thing offer too.

Speaking of the movie V here: http://asylums.insanejournal.com/the_80s_rocked/5962.html

I had to mention that Dominique Dunne was in this film however her scenes had to be cut as she was murdered by John Sweeney at the end of 1982.

Here are some of the shots from the rehearsals of V:







She appears in only one scene in the final cut of the movie and it's only the back of her. I tried to save a copy from a web page, but it keeps being saved as a blank file. Grrr. If I can find another picture online, I'll link it here.

V is also dedicated to the memory of her:

Kenneth Johnson, creator of the cult 1983 SF miniseries V, told SCI FI Wire that he hopes to develop a new movie based on his sequel novel V: The Second Generation.

Eeeeeeeee!

I found this video on Youtube - It really brings back memories of how I loved watching Solid Gold! :D

The strikingly handsome quintet from Birmingham, led by singer Simon Lebon and keyboardist Nick Rhodes, pumped out three decades of top hits including "Hungry Like the Wolf", "Rio", "Save A Prayer" and "The Reflex". Their music videos, often shot in exotic locales around the world, became MTV chart-toppers. Their equally popular live act peaked with a global audience of millions at 1985's "Live Aid". A new album is set for release in Fall, 2007.

I'm not sure if anyone else has heard (okay, you probably have!), but a remake of the television series The A Team is planned for 2008. IMDb has a page up here, but given the Writers' Strike I'm not sure how realistic a 2008 release date is.

But in any case, I bring you Mr. T vs Everything! The first one I ever remember reading is Mr. T vs Mr. Bean, but alas, none of them will ever compare to the T'inator, a Babelfish-type translator that would translate any web page into T-speak.
