Retroist Forum

1, 2, 3 o’clock,..
“Awsome. I love how it’s cotton jacket Fonz from the early parts of the show.”

Theme Park Season
“Here are some of the pics from my recent trip to the coaster park Alton Towers…”

New Tr2n thread
“Kill Screen 256: That’s just the greatest cocktail of retro and Tron-goodness.
I almost expected to see Kurt Russell’s name pop up as Flynn

(disclaimer: The usage of the name Flynn with regards to the classic and sensational movie Tron is required by law to be associated with the masterful Jeff Bridges who owned the role and shall continue to do so, all statements to the contrary are ephemeral and shall be considered void by law in any regards other than satire and proof of geekiness. End Of Line) ”

Great Movies that Bombed in the Theater
“I also heard of the Walking Dead adaptation and, as a huge zombie fan, I’m hoping for the best.
Having seen the terrific and gory U.K. zombie movie/miniseries Dead Set not too long ago, I can see how good undead horror can be presented on TV (cable TV, that is).

Badwolf – About Boondock Saints: there’s a doc called Overnight about the director’s fall from Miramax grace which kinda adds to how it ended up shortchanged box-office-wise.
You might already know about it, but it’s worth mentioning in light of this thread.

And just to add to The Iron Giant appreciation – if anybody hasn’t seen it yet…watch it now! You won’t regret it.”

The New Thrift Thread
“Got a pair of Vans sneakers (standard model – black) in a size 13 – they fit right, and they are stylish and comfortable. Also scored a Shure SM58 microphone and an AKG D790 microphone and a DX-440 shortwave radio. Yeah, I’m an electronics nut.”

New Share This Section on Retroist Posts
“I think it should be at the bottom of each post. I personally do not re-post everything I see when this sort of bar is an option, but I do re-post stuff on Twitter (then it auto posts on Facebook for me) on stuff I like. \
I think if you keep it simple and small and not all in your face I think it will add a lot to the site. “
