busy weekend. it started friday with a midnight show of the wrath of khan, and the post-show debate over whether ricardo montalban's man-boobs were real or plastic--they looked plastic to me, but according to this they were real. i guess montalban just worked out for the part.
then yesterday we watched the whole 3 disk, six and a half hours, of the world of sid & marty krofft. it was one long nostalgic marathon while stuffing our faces with ho-hos, oreos and froot loops. about half of the 13 shows we saw i remembered vividly from saturday mornings of days past. and my personal favorite, sigmund the sea monster, was exactly as i remembered it. the particular episode we saw even looked familiar. others, like the bugaloos didn't hold up quite so well. i had no memory of electra woman and dyna girl, though i wish i had. and i was glad that i either missed or purged all memory of bigfoot and wildboy.
it was exhausting, and somehow spending a day eating ho-hos wasn't as easy as it used to be. but it was worth it. i'm a better person for it. unfortunately, i can't seem to get this song out of my head today. and hunting down the mp3 didn't really help. damn you, sid & marty!
