Good stuff thanks for sharing

My dad hid them in a portfolio folder that was sent by a company he had some stock in (remember those? When the companies actually sent you their financials for the year in an ACTUAL portfolio?), which he kept in his filing cabinet among all his other portfolios. I'll never forget the morning in 8th grade when he left it sitting on his desk by mistake, closed, no evidence of anything odd inside. I was waiting for my mom to take me to school and was just messing around in his office when I opened it. Felt like I had struck oil lol. I don't know if he ever knew if I knew about them, but they definitely occupied my time for years!

I had a friend who's dad had a subscription to Playboy. He'd keep the new issue when it came in the mail on top of the refrigerator... Yeah, like we never found that great hiding spot.

My friend's brother growing up had them hidden and mixed in with stacks of car magazines in his closet. Then years later I found my grandfathers stash in his small file cabinet.

I still have a condensed collection of Nuts and Zoo magazines (UK, just boobs'n'bums) and I kept some choice pages of a late 90s Sports Illustrated, the prime years of Heidi Klum and Laetitia Casta.

My cousin gave me a hustler magazine when I was 12. My mom found it while cleaning my room. I came home from school to see it on the bed. My mom took it then proceeded to explain to me her version of women’s anatomy. Afterwards she asked me if I still wanted the magazine. I got in so much trouble when I said I did.

I remember lingering on any nudity at all back in the 80’s. Jamie Lee Curtis in Trading places, Sylvia Kirstle in Private Lessons, Heavy Metal, and don’t get me started with movies like Porky’s! I also remember fiddling with my tv to catch that late night cable channel where they showed adult movies after 11. The 80’s my formative years.

You where fiddling with more than your TV you dirty basterd

I seen this a day ago. Better than TLJ, but not saying much. What i would expect from a spin-off. If TLJ was better the boycott would've been lessened.

I still have that laserdisc!

For Star Wars AOTC was the last VHS release in the States, ROTS was DVD only domestically but was on VHS in Europe I believe.

Last Star Wars film to be released on Laserdisc was The Phantom Menace in Japan.

Nice!

Just finished Solo. Man that is one hell of a fun flick. They really did everything right IMO. Now I've got to watch RO and see how they compare to each other back to back.

For me, Solo is the least interesting Star Wars film, just not a story anyone wanted to see, the visuals aren't as good (mostly do to poor color grading and bad composition) also has the soundtrack that's not as good as the others.
It doesn't do anything as bad as some of the other films, but it doesn't really do anything great.

Solo was just fun to watch regardless if you wanted to know more about Solo or not, IMO anyways.... It felt the most Star Wars like of all the new movies

TFA and TLJ are stories nobody really wanted to see... Why would we want to see Solo killed by his EMO kid and have Luke do nothing but sit around feeling sorry for himself... I can't even watch TLJ a second time, I tried on Blu-Ray but got bored and turned it off about 20 mins into the movie...

I wanted to see ROTJ sequels with the OT cast. It's just that, now having seen them, I've realized I was wrong to want that - certainly when they were by now all pensioners. These films came way too late, at a point where it was inevitable they were only being brought in to pass the torch and be killed off....and that just sucks.

Maybe nothing should have come after ROTJ. All SW films could have been prequels to the prequels (Old Republic, these computer game era films people have been wanting) and side-prequels to the OT such as Rogue One and Solo.

They had a opportunity of a lifetime in having the original cast come back for the final 3 movies, it's just Abrams and Rian blew it...

Bottom Line is people will watch anything IF the story is good... Unfortunately all the stores after Return of the Jedi have been pretty bad...

 

[jye4ever]

Well it doesn’t help that Lucas blew it with those horrid PT movies of his when the OT cast was just sitting there still at their prime in 97.

 

[a-dev]

Yep. The PT could have been made any time...well, maybe not by Lucas.

 

[MegaPrime33]

I can understand Lucas wanting to tell the prequel story, I just wish he had other people help him tell it instead of doing it himself and surrounding himself with yes men. I enjoy TFA and RO but really really disliked TLJ. Haven't seen Solo yet but definitely do not have my hopes up. And I "nothing" the new characters so idk what to do about Ep9.

 

[Khev]

Yeah even as far back as 1983 Mark Hamill did that one Today Show interview where he told them that Lucas said he had plans to bring him back "around 2011" when Luke would be Ben's age to pass his lightsaber down to the next generation so it was never in the cards for any new films to showcase the main heroes when they were still in their primes. Too bad but no sense fretting about it at this point. The long wait meant that I got to watch the classic heroes return to the big screen with my own children and for that I'll always be grateful.

Bingo!

Prequels with new cast could’ve been done at anytime but no lets have the OT actors age another 20 freaking years before deciding to bring them back just so Carrie can die while making them!

 

[Khev]

As far as I'm concerned the prequels *have* been made by other filmmakers (RO and Solo) lol.

We've said it before but what a bummer that the one character they kept alive in the movies died in real life so now they have to awkwardly write her out too. They're lucky there was such a thing as force ghosts so at least Luke can come back in some capacity.
