Well Voo Doo is not all that bad.

Yeah, I genuinely like the song.

My 1st impression was it's not bad. I've listened a few more times though and I agree it's a good song I like it.

Well Voo Doo is not all that bad.  The girl is hot and the music is typical 80's sound.

That intro though sucked.  Very early 90's

I never saw Superman 3 and not out to watch it now that I've read what you thought about it.  I had a copy of Superman 4 on VHS that I watched repeatedly when I was little though.

Adam since you have been culturally unaware for near 2 decades I present you this  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=My2FRPA3Gf8.

I made it about 12-seconds, but then I have to close out of it. Sorry, but I'm trying to get over this flu, and that just wasn't helping. I'm just going to assume she's crying because she's about to get hit by a wrecking ball, and leave it at that.

Well I can't say you actually missed anything.  I have seen the video but for the purpose of linking it to this forum I turned the speakers off.  That's not to say Miley don't have any talent because she does but typically not in her own music. 

Clearly wrecking balls are ubiquitous in music videos, but the difference in usage with keytars is obvious..

Very true Rijst.  I almost forgot this started as my sideways insult to keytars.

I had totally forgot about the Balls to the Wall track.  Thanks Jess.

That's cool, thanks for the explanation Jess.  I knew it was an armband representing something.  Armbands were very popular from the 60s-80s for many causes. 

I'm sure Veronica will love it, well maybe not so sure but she should.

As a christian I have been in plenty of bible studies where this topic has come up.  I've actually heard a youth pastor say he saw a person possessed by a demon spirit and had telekinetic powers from it. That was too much for me, some people think the best way to spread the word of God is to scare people.  I think they are nut jobs who have no business representing my religion.  It does seem that that's what happened in this case though.

You should totally start making subtle hints that you're a practicing satanist though, see how freaked out they become. Since they are probably totally unaware of your presence during their convo you could give it a few weeks and then bring in a Ouija board and invite them to play, but do it really serious like make up some story of there being a murder there 20 years ago and you want to talk with the spirit.

BTW that video is pretty sweet.  I know I've heard the song before but not sure I've ever saw the video.  I've never heard of Stan Bush before this and will probably forget him right away.

Can anyone else think of an instrament that was designed for and promptly died with a style of music like the keytar did in the 80's

I think wrecking balls will disappear from the pop scene any time now. Other than that, no..

I dont know the wrecking ball has some mainstay to it.  Actually one of my favorite up and coming blues stars has a song also titled Wrecking Ball, and it has nothing to do with Miley.

Check out Joanne Shaw Taylor on Spotify if you like the blues you'll love her.

Drunk Joe is pretty awesome but I think he's about to make a huge ass of himself.

Eddie actually got the words out, I expected another strange obstacle to block his path.

I agree with the babe report. Veronica and Heather can obviously do no wrong. Tina is a babe too,  Hopefully Joe don't screw it up so bad she won't forgive him.

My prediction here is that Joe makes an ass of himself and Eddie well gets Eddie'd lets say and they go home feeling sorry for themselves.

As for the video the 80s were a strange time and this highlights it in just under 5 minutes.  The style, videography, the sound. It was all so cool and advanced until about '92 when pop culture took a hard left turn.

The city on fire may be a better choice. 80's obsession with jungles was the war movie culture. Vietnam and  Columbia were very big movie and tv plot points from MIA soldiers and the drug war against cocaine traffickers from South America.  Dude Shinobi does not seem like the type to be fighting the drug war lol. 

This poster is very cool though, I love seeing the art progression.  After hearing about you guys talk about this comic years ago and now seeing it come together is really exciting especially when you through in the extra stuff in the forum .  I think that as this becomes a very successful comic it will stand out because of the way you guys include the fans in the creation journey.

While I rarely had a chance to watch He-Man I did have the Greyskull Castle.  I got that and a bunch of X-Men action figures as hand me down toys from my cousin.  The 80s and early 90s really changed advertising for kids. I rarely remember seeing a toy on tv that I didn't have to have.  Though rarely actually got.

Wow so much fun stuff on this page. 

I feel Eddie should have reacted different to the whole Grandma giving it up on the 1st date for a stuffed pig teddy-bear thing, and then thinking that pig should get him lucky. 

That suit and pig are going to be a disaster.

I love the 1st panel, Joe is having a blast with that liquid courage.  The cocaine use is way over the top 80's style.

Well not rushing out to find a copy today.  This does sound like a movie I'd watch if I found it channel surfing.  Too bad it was wrecked by the studio, it pretty much seems it would have been better as its original story.
