Star Wars: The Force Awakens (12/18/15)

That shirt with the X-wing fighters flying out of Vader's helmet is awesome. Somehow a kids' shirt is way cooler than the Force Awakens poster.

I'm wearing the same exact iron-on in my teeny-tiny pic with Vader and the Stormtrooper.

I made sure to capture these moments for my own son should he ever look back on these the way we do now:

I only decided I was too old to ''play'' with toys anymore - around 13 or 14. At no point did I ever stop buying them though. I pushed through the embarrassment of carrying my toys up to the cash register.

Nah you probably did it better. I actually don't think my case is something to be proud of.

Also if my sister knew I put that picture of her on the internet she would destroy me....

That is the kind of art I miss in movie marketing. I wore that shirt until it disintegrated.

Yep your son will be posting these 30 years from now hopefully!

Khev will look at those photos and chuckle at the quaint old Hot Toys figures and say ''I must take those out of the attic for a trip down memory lane.....actually, son, can you do it for me, I can't manage that ladder anymore''

That's awesome.

Probably. Or maybe I'll retire to Skellig Island until my daughter tracks down that first X-Wing Luke I stupidly sold at a garage sale (along with all my other SW, GI Joe's, etc.) and inexplicably finds a way to present it to me.

Look what my son got to wear for Halloween compared to the stupid ass costumes we had in the 70's.

Here's the pic I deleted.........
Those were circa 1984-86

Here a-dev I was able to locate that lost childhood pic of yours:

Cool. Yep I still pretty much gel my hair like that.

I extensively document my kids' Christmases with the digital camera, even at the expense of enjoying the moment myself, just so they can look back fondly on them one day, thinking about how quaint it is to have non-holographic, 4-D videos to watch.

I think it's a good thing you guys are doing. I kinda lament that there are so relatively few photos of me as a child and no videos at all.

I harassed my dad until he finally tracked down the old Video8 videos of us at Christmas, and transferred them to DVD. I got a crapload of childhood DVDs for Christmas, from vacations, to videos around the house, to school performances, to productions he made for TV that I was in. Even some embarrassing high school dances and wrestling matches. Best Christmas present in memory. I realize I'm really lucky to have them, but my parents both worked in TV production. I'm just keeping the tradition going.

Video cameras otherwise just weren't very commonplace back then. I dunno if it's a vanity thing or what but I wish I could see video footage of me as a child, like going back in time. I remember one of my uncles had a videocamera and made footage of some party at his house but I doubt it still exists. There would be nothing else that I know of.

 

[karamazov80]

They weren't that uncommon in the U.S., but it wasn't as ubiquitous as it is now of course, with everyone having a video camera on their cellphone.

Back in the day, my parents would record a school performance and then make VHS copies for the other parents. Now, when I go to my daughter's performances (one tomorrow), about 50 parents are huddling around, recording it with their cameras. It's actually pretty comical.

Khev will appreciate these:

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to IrishJedi again.
