hrothgar Posted March 27, 2008 Report Share Posted March 27, 2008 Did anyone else see last night's South Park? Absolutely brilliant... (At least it was if you grew up at the right time) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barmar Posted March 29, 2008 Report Share Posted March 29, 2008 It brought back great memories. I must have seen the Heavy Metal movie a dozen times when I was in college. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rbforster Posted March 30, 2008 Report Share Posted March 30, 2008 Apparently it brought back great memories for Kenny's father too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fred Posted March 30, 2008 Report Share Posted March 30, 2008 I guess I did not grow up at the right time since I have never heard of Heavy Metal. Maybe they will do a Rocky Horror Picture Show episode for people of my generation... I still enjoyed the episode, but liked the Britney Spears episode from a few weeks ago more.

Maybe they will do a Rocky Horror Picture Show episode for people of my generation... Given that you're a year older than me, I suspect that the generation issue isn't isn't as salient as I thought... Normally, I'd suggest that this had something to do with the whole growing up in Canada thing, however, this was a Canadian movie... I would have expected that all you young canucks would be forced to watch it at school along with Degrassi reruns. (Seriously, I lived in Montreal for a year in 1976... The Canadian content laws were highly amusing, even to a 10 year old. I had to music appreciation in school. As far as I could tell, the teacher wasn't allowed to discuss anything other than Anne Murray and Gordon Lightfoot. Do you know how many monthes we spent on the Wreak of the Edmund Fitzgerald? It was scarring... Seriously scarring...) I suspect that the real reason that I discovered this is that I grew up on a college campus and (for whatever reason) the students at Vassar loved this flick... As did I. Heavy Metal is still well worth watching, especially if you're under the influence Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barmar Posted March 31, 2008 Report Share Posted March 31, 2008 I checked IMdb, the movie came out in 1981. The Britney episode was certainly a better social commentary. Major Boobage was just far out fun. The "Imaginationland" 3-parter last season was a good combination of both. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
