No way @dysfunction ! An ironic facepalm, surely?

 

[ECA]

Can't wait, it's gonna be great.

No it looks bloody dreadful!
I won't be watching that shit.

Just watched it.

30 MINUTES OF AWESOME!

 

[Ch3tan]

Thank you for introducing me to this.... Need to watch the full thing now. Looks awesomely ridiculous

 

[Scouse]

awesomely ridiculous

Exactly.

You have to pray to the god of the 80's, push your tongue into your cheek as hard as it will go, then sit back and enjoy...

 

[ECA]

Eh.
Wasn't that great.
Some funny bits but it felt like a less funny shittier Danger 5.

 

[Lakih]

I think I smiled once or twice, that's about it. I would have been seriously disappointed if I was one of the backers. The trailer looked funny, but the rest of it is like watching the trailer over and over and over again.

 

[Scouse]

I do think the trailer was better than the short - but I think that's because it's a full-length trailer for a short film. Therefore they've had to rape a higher proportion of the jokes and action - leaving less to surprise you...

But a good effort IMO.

 

[BloodOmen]

It was sooooooo good, wtb more tbfh.

 

[fettoken]

I can appreciate this back in time tribute to the 80's and hope he gets some recognition for it!

 

[fettoken]

Facepalm away. It was a good effort at least, gotta give em that. (also slight bias as they're Swedes making the movie)

 

[Job]

OMG had to boot up Outrun on the Megadrive after that.

[Edmond]

That was brilliant, I suppose it helps if you grew up in the 80's with all the bad TV at the time

 

[Job]

Funny how the bad tracking effect actually annoyed me, I could almost hear the tape squelching over the head.

 

[Edmond]

The tracking effect was bang on

 

[Moriath]

Just like vhs hehe.

I liked it though i hadnt watched the trailer before hand so did not have expectations

 

[old.Tohtori]

Shame they missed calling him Hackermn instead of hacker-man.

It was fun enough to waste 30mins on, maybe trying a bit too hard at times, but solid in its stupidity

 

[Job]

Watched it again..awesome, is this a new thing, are they hoping to make enough from Youtube adverts.

 

[Edmond]

God, I agree with something job does, I feel dirty....

 

[Billargh]

I didn't grow up in the 80's, unless you count 8 days of them. Watched plenty of old VHS action movies as a kid though.

This 'movie' was fantastic though, can't remember the last time a film made me laugh out loud while watching it on my own.

Yeah we wouldn't want anyone taking your crown Teeds

 

[TdC]

none of the younglings want the teedlecox


edit: well, except @Gwadien , but he wants it sooooo much I'm scared

 

[Moriath]

Not 8 days. But seven years before the 80's started when i was a sproglet. But best decade to be a teen imo. None of this over protective paedo nonsense. Play on the streets dawn till dusk. Scabby knees and lighting fires in the woods. Building camps and playing football with coats as posts. Finding porn left by the porn fairy in the bushes.

Better than being locked in or shuffled from play date to play date as kids are now.

 

[caLLous]

Valid points but, as we're just finding out recently, if parents had been more aware of the risks back then, a lot of abuse wouldn't have happened.

It didn't happen for the vast majority of kids - and the freedom meant that most kids had an unbelieveable run of freedom - the likes of which the drone-children of today can't even dream about. And that's a shame.

It's a bit like the terrorism thing - if you change your society so much in response to terrorism then terrorists win. We've changed our kids lives disproportionately for the worse due to a fear of strangers abusing or hurting our children - but what needed to happen was parents becoming more watchful of family members and trusted people in positions of authority - whilst still letting their kids run free all day long...

 

[caLLous]

Yeah, all of that went under the "valid points" bit of my post. There's no right answer but one thing that we can be sure of is that, for better or worse (and I agree, from the point of view of having a fun childhood, it's worse), the abuse that took place in the 70s and 80s just could not go on in this day and age. Of course, in this day and age there are other threats but it sounds like they were pretty fucking blatant about it back then.

 

[Scouse]

the abuse that took place in the 70s and 80s just could not go on in this day and age

I don't see why not unless there's been a lot of structural reforms - that probably hasn't happened.

i.e. - is it illegal for a child to be alone with a priest, or a teacher, or your uncle, or a nurse, or a doctor? Of course not. - And the ability to be alone with a potential abuser is the thing that makes abuse possible.

The only positive development is that the reporting of sexual abuse that has happened is becoming de-stigmatised - but that doesn't protect a vulnerable young child from being scared into keeping secrets...
