It used to be that if someone mentioned Karate kid II I would immediately remember the time on July 4th (1987?) when it was showing at the Capitol  theatre for free…I remember there was a huge line around the block for a noontime showing. I was there with my cousin. It’s one of those immediate and vivid memories from ones youth…
Well, thanks to Staycation 2011 and Sky -if someone mentions Karate Kid II I will from now on think of that chunk of dog shit on the sidewalk that I have to avoid everyday when I’m walking to the coffee shop for my morning cappuccino…
It was kind of a crap movie! Sometimes one should not revisit their childhood.
Don’t watch any Mel Brooks then. He doesn’t stand the test of time. Space Balls? Hilarious as a child…so disappointing now.
P.S. ‘You can also subscribe without commenting’….how?
P.P.S. Merry Christmas to your folks if they are still reading this!
Yeah, I have a distinct memory of seeing spaceballs at a sneak preview at Lancaster Mall theatre…we’ve hit all the buttons…my childhood is apparently full of movie memory triggers.
