Californiaman Posted November 19, 2010 Share Posted November 19, 2010 My neighbor had a subscription to the magazine. I loved reading these when I was younger. The movie was cool too. Came out in 1981, the year I graduated. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_2_gOpU0eWU Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shnate McDuanus Posted November 19, 2010 Share Posted November 19, 2010 Yep, the magazine and the movie are both very, very cool. A friend of mine was throwing out a bunch of stuff from his home, so he gave me his old box of Heavy Metal back-issues. That was a great day. As far as the movie is concerned, I've seen it about five times...I love the soundtrack and the stories of the individual segments. Interestingly enough, though, I thought that the longest segment ("Taarna", which was the last one, and the "main" piece of the film) was the least interesting--it hit me as very poorly paced and indulgent. Too much T&A and not enough story or character development in that one. What's funny about it (though not "ha-ha" funny) is that the stories the segment is based on (Moebius' Arzach comics) are really great. They don't even have dialogue, but they're breathtaking in the best way possible--I suppose they were going for that in the movie, but to me it just came off as really slow and dry. The best thing about "Taarna" (and this was a REALLY GOOD THING) was that "The Mob Rules" was in the soundtrack for that one. Besides that, it still hasn't managed to hold my attention as well as some of the others--especially "Captain Sternn" and "B-17," which had some truly awesome visuals and a really creepy atmosphere. Just my two cents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Californiaman Posted November 19, 2010 Author Share Posted November 19, 2010 I remember going to see Sammy Hagar in concert in L.A. with my girlfriend about this time. Wow! what a night. I was a big Hagar fan at the time. And this too was a big part of my youth. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ts6YTeSEv0Y&feature=&p=3CA007135B4991B0&index=0&playnext=1 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pw8fX3pYLFQ&feature=related Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Californiaman Posted November 19, 2010 Author Share Posted November 19, 2010 This movie had about the same impact on me as Pink Floyd "The Wall", I saw that while I was a senior in college. I can't count the number of times I saw the wall or sat quietly in my room with the headphones on listening to The Wall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
