Crystal Pepsi Employee Training Video?!
Here’s a pile of absolute gold, suggested by our pal Jugendsehnsucht…
Yup. The official Crystal Pepsi Employee Training Video, from 1992. Holy shit.
Jugendsehnsucht adds: “This is an absolute gem. Sixteen minutes of pure, unadulterated soda hype from before they realized it was going to be a flop (“Crystal is certainly not a flash in the pan…”, “Crystal has generated the kind of following that guarantees that it will be around for a long time…”) and some really awkward line readings in its second half. Digitized and posted online for the very first time just days ago!”
I. Love. This.
Free-For-All Saturday.
Time to gather back ’round the campfire…
This is a free-for-all thread. Talk about anything!
Sleepaway Camp II!
I wanted something SUPER CRUEL SUMMERY for tonight, since it’s now officially summer. (And also because it’s Friday, yay!)
Heeeeeere’s SLEEPAWAY CAMP II, from 1988. One of my all-time favorite horror movies, and oh so summery.
Think of it as an extremely great Friday the 13th sequel that just happens to NOT be a Friday the 13th sequel. The first Sleepaway Camp film gets more pub, but trust me, this is the one to see. It fires on every cylinder and is just so good.
Expect gore and more — and don’t bother if you’re not into that!
Dinosaur!
Tonight’s pick was influenced by Fallen Kingdom, which I saw a few hours ago and LOVED.
Holy shit, with all of the bad reviews I’d seen hints of, I was NOT expecting to enjoy that movie so much. It’s dark and weird and sad and almost gothic, and like I said on Twitter earlier, it’s basically Jurassic Park by way of Tales from the Darkside. If you’re into the same stuff as me, you should dig it.
Now get set for Dinosaur! (Yes, the exclamation point is part of the title.)
Hosted by Christopher Reeve, this dinosaur documentary premiered on CBS in November of ’85. I probably love outdated dino docs even more than the current ones, so I’m expecting to enjoy this.
