retro ad: 1970s Kool-Aid commercial
The giant Kool-Aid jug destroys a priceless ancient structure! That’s not right.
1970s
The Exorcist (retro trailer)
Does this seem so terrifying that it could not be seen by human eyes?
retro ad: 1970s American Airlines commercial
Fly American Airlines: they have computers!
The Little Prince (retro trailer)
The Little Prince looks like one of the Children of the Damned. Did they mean to do that?
retro ad: 1970s Almond Joy/Mounds commercial
I probably haven’t seen this ad in 30 years, and the moment I laid eyes on just the mere description of it, I could sing the jingle again without a hitch. Sad.
Footloose (review)
I wish I could say I didn’t know why anyone would bother xeroxing a nearly 30-year-old movie, but I do know why. And it ain’t pretty.
Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy movie review: let the spy one in
Why does no one ever intone at me and tell me to go to Budapest and wear polyester and smoke cigarettes and get all espionagey, dammit?
Straw Dogs (1971) (retro trailer)
Gotta love this trailer. “See Straw Dogs! Starring Dustin Hoffman and some chick’s nipples!”
Apollo 18 (review)
Apollo 18 is not scary. It’s not intense. It’s not surprising. It’s supposed to be all these things and fails completely.
retro ad: 1970s Mego Planet of the Apes dolls commercial
You’ve seen Rise of the Planet of the Apes, now, er, see the ad that started it all. Sort of.
