Instead I was subjected to Apocalypse Now. I should have declined the invitation.Seventiesfannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26874882.post-14506144476374041782018-07-31T14:46:38.552-04:002018-07-31T14:46:38.552-04:00Love that line about SNL being "popular with ...Love that line about SNL being "popular with the kids." It's just icing on the cake that they'd already left the show. You really get a feel for just how clueless studio execs were, are and always will be. <br /><br />I actually have no memories of this film, other than Dianne Kay being adorable and a Ferris wheel running amok, which was always a recurring nightmare for me anyway. Maybe it's time to try another viewing.David Morefieldnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26874882.post-16059949873173211752018-07-31T14:29:04.662-04:002018-07-31T14:29:04.662-04:00This Anon sees what you did there Jon Pall, and th...This Anon sees what you did there Jon Pall, and that's sooo true. <br /><br />The vendor promotion did make good on how prevalent the ads were using the "exciting artwork". Just about every comic-book line had ads for it throughout 1980.<br /><br />Always got the impression the ads were trying for a much, much longer run in the theaters than the movie had.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26874882.post-49706870867760988992018-07-31T05:30:11.175-04:002018-07-31T05:30:11.175-04:00Didn't they manufacture a Kramer vs Kramer wat...Didn't they manufacture a Kramer vs Kramer watering can?Jón Pállhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18345608860116862097noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26874882.post-80651544119385012442018-07-30T19:05:41.664-04:002018-07-30T19:05:41.664-04:00Wonder how long the lead time was on the creation ...Wonder how long the lead time was on the creation of this ad?

Unfortunately my one and only date with Alison Marks was to the above-mentioned Kramer vs Kramer, needless to say it didn't go very well! In an alternate universe one of the Kramer's was Kramer from Seinfeld, totally different film!! -Mark J Marky Batshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06169928348610287945noreply@blogger.com
