UMA Drive-In Theater

I liked trying to ID the masks and costumes in the 1985 Halloween film.  Topstone hooded skull, Collegeville Creature, Dracula and Ghoul, Ben Cooper ghost, and on and on.

Here's a classic! Stick with this one as it gets better (and gruesome) a couple minutes into it. War is hell I tell you.

Wow! This answers a lot of questions about what my brother was doing to his Joes, 40 years ago. I wondered why he didn't take care of his toys the way my sister and I did. There must have been "battles" going on right under our own roof! His toys were always in pieces and covered in burn marks and model paint! I think I need to call him today and tell him I now understand (sniff sniff)

"It gets better" is an understatement, man that's the best! It takes me back for sure and makes me want to make an army man setup right now.
Those Joes - wow...German, Russian, Brits, MPs, we had so much of that stuff and now it's all in a landfill somewhere!
Now, the kiddos...They grew up to become flower power hippies. Peace!

Produced by the National Film Board of Canada, where GI Joes fled to avoid the war.  That is why most of the minty GI Joes you find today come from Canada.  But some collectors prefer the burnt and mangled Joes because at least they know they were honorably discharged.

LOVE IT!

I remember seeing this in grade school as part of a X-mas presentation.
Seeing it again here was a great treat.
Really, what were they thinking?
I mean I love it but its kind of...wrong.


That said, 12inch Joes are the only true Joes.
All others are pretenders to the throne.

The UMA is always looking for more WACS. But first, we must radically change how we view women in our hobby.  

The Trouble With Women (1959)

The art of making a delicious sandwich is often overlooked. Are you a sandwich hack?

When they showed this at my school, all the boys had to go to the gym.

Ok..."an effective carelessness here would be no asset"...Youtube kids these days couldn't even translate that!
And YUM...Velveeta ("the fast melting type") and tuna on rye toast slightly scored so as not to curl -  what's not to love?
But geez chew and swallow your food before taking a big swig of Coke or you'll end up with chunks of sandwich in the bottle gross!
I am a sandwich hack no doubt about it.

[Mike Scott]

More butter and cheese, please! I'm not having a heart attack fast enough!

"and tuna on rye toast slightly scored so as not to curl"

That was my favorite line in the film. Such close attention paid to the small details is almost unheard of nowadays - at least when it comes to making a delicious tuna sandwich.

I just watched the 1985 Halloween Safety film again- It's still as funny as it was the first 10 times I watched it- Thanks again

Somehow I missed this thread.  I don't have time to watch now, but probably tomorrow.  I can't wait to see how Bert learns to duck and cover.  We have the same strategies now only they're for tornado warnings and for lock downs.  No lock downs back then just "the bomb"
