Does anybody remember a teen movie from the early 70s about two kids hitching up, one involved in a robbery with a gun, a car and maybe Steve Miller music (like Take The Money And Run or The Joker). It was a B or C movie and looked colorful (Hawaii or California). It might have also had the word Rose in it. If anybody can remember that far back and remember the movie title -- you are truly amazing!
Nope, it was about Colonel John Moseby, a guerrilla leader for the confederates. It was quite popular for a short period of time but interest in it died out pretty quick. My comment said movie series and I should have said TV series.
Never mind..it was The Gray Knight.
[I’d swear it was -ghost- when I rented it...maybe Mosby’s kin complained]
Oh. The Warriors. (sigh)
I loved that flick, and I may have had a serious crush on Michael Beck.
Aw, man!
I’d LOVE to see that.
Mosby is my favorite!
Stupid NetFlix doesn’t have it....:(
I did find Mosby’s Marauders, a Disney flick.
[this oughta be good]
:::rolls eyes:::
You and every other female who watched it...LOL
LOL, truth. But then I was geeky enough to watch Battletruck and Megaforce.
Walnut is presently going for $5 to $7 a board foot.
A cord would equate to over 1500 board feet. So, yeah, I guess that would qualify as expensive firewood.
At the time they were selling it Walnut was probably not selling that high. I was tempted to get some large pieces and have a couple of stocks made out of it but the fire wood was selling for about 160 bucks a cord at the time while oak was going for 90. People paid it gladly because a cord of Walnut lasted a lot longer than oak. In this area the only mills we had/have were/are soft wood mills, fir, cedar and pine. No one was equipped to handle hard woods and I would imagine shipping to the southern states would have cost more than it was worth.
Oh my, Yes!
Flood of memories. Why is it that the memories of our teen years are more vivid that last week’s? Could it be Alzheimer’s?
Remember that old SciFi flick called “Damnation Alley”?
I sure wanted that vehicle.
It was awesome.
Distant memories are often more vivid than recent ones.
I have no idea why.
I can just about recall every second of my teen years but can’t remember 10 minutes ago....LOL
I just call that having blonde moments, and as long as no one can remember my natural hair color that's the excuse I am using. :-)
Seadragon, ping for some serious Grade Z movies. LOL
Salamander, oh yeah, I remember Damnation Alley, I thought the truck was totally cool. But that may have decided my life long aversion to roaches! LOL
Of course, it had Jan-Michael Vincent and George Peppard in it. A-Team and Air Wolf... you just couldn't get better than that (even though those were after DV) for a teenage girl.
But then if you really wanted something that lasted the ages, Death Race 2000 with David Carradine. To this day, I will still say something along the lines of 50 points, if you can hit that without scratching the paint.
Death Race 200 made me think of Rollerball with James Caan...LOL
[I’m blaming everything on the hormonal roller-coaster]
:)
And we mustn’t forget spaghetti westerns.
Lee Van Cleef....*sigh*
I love Lee Van Cleef. AMC did an entire weekend on him once. He was a handsome, handsome man. But mercy, some of those were BAD. LOL
I had to explain to my admin, why there were called Spaghetti Westerns.
We were in a restaurant in Houston, called Spaghetti Western, and there were all these old movie posters up on the walls. She's young enough that she didn't understand the corollary.
I’m probably the only person you’ll ever meet who has Sergio Leone/Ennio Morricone spaghetti western soundtracks on their iPod....LOL
Weird story:
I had The Good, The Bad And The Ugly playing on the bike one day and we pulled up to a 4-way stop sign and as we sat there waiting for somebody to make a move, “The Ecstasy of Gold” came up on the playlist and the other 3 drivers just cracked up.
You would be wrong on that one.
:-)
LOL, whenever I see old people crossing the intersection, I yell out "200 Points!"
“I lost my tastebuds in the crash of ‘97”.
LOL. Yep.
I had to explain it to a younger group once, I just shook my head that they didn’t know the classics! :-)
