HARD TIME ON PLANET EARTH // TV SERIES
there were a ton of sci-fi tv shows from the 80’s though, and hard time on planet earth is one that only a handful will remember.
i vaguely remember this show beyond the opening sequence and that it starred cobra kai sensei john kreese…oh, and that little alien thing that flies around.
ehcb:
“Now the questions that come to mind. Where is this place and when is it? What kind of world where ugliness is the norm and beauty the deviation from that norm? You want an answer? The answer is, it doesn’t make any difference. Because the old saying happens to be true: Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, in this year or a hundred years hence, on this planet or wherever there is human life, perhaps out amongst the stars. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. A lesson to be learned— in The Twilight Zone.”
-Rod Serling, The Twilight Zone, “Eye of the Beholder” (1960)
TNT MONSTERVISION, RIP 1993-2000
i used to watch tnt monstervision religiously back in middle school and the beginning of high school.

HEAVY METAL (1981) // TRAILER
heavy metal is quite possibly one of my favorite movies of all time. i saw the edited-for-tv version as a kid late night on tnt monstervision back in the 6th grade. (damn, monstervision deserves it’s own post.)
later in the 7th or 8th grade it was finally released on video, and i watched it over and over. i still own the vhs. baws.
