Possibly Terrible USA 80s ROMCOM

[albie]

As a young lad I was quite, erm, taken by the alien lady on the front of the Space Raiders packet.
I recall, one day, in the bath...

But I'm sure the packet I kept under my bed, she wore a cap or hat...

Just looked on WIKIPEDIA. They have an extensive list of rom com films. I checked from 1980 to 1993. Not there. And this list includes foreign films. It is so under the radar it does not exist. Was this film beamed into my mind as a kid by unseen forces? Is it my destiny to make this film? Given all...

[albie]

Hmm. I was answering and the forum leapt away into a Backroom. A place of misremembered things, aptly....

[albie]

Yeah. I'm wondering if I MIGHT have noticed the hunchback. Not sure.

I can rule out any deformities and disabilities. Are those the politically correct terms? Not being terrified I tend to not keep up with these things....

[albie]

It's a constant reminder that the people who truly love us, supermarkets and chocolate manufacturers, see us just as customers.

And all our childhood joys are now kept in refrigerated rooms bedecked with pentagrams and Aztec pictograms....

[albie]

CB BEARS?????????????????

If that isn't it then someone mentally ill ripped it off AND got it past Hanna Barbera. Or someone mentally ill misremembered it.

It doesn't match what's in my head. But that's no obstacle to this being it.

I'm going to say...

[albie]

HAHAHAHAH.

It's not the film, BUT, that might be better.

Gotta see that. Well done, you found a worse film than I was recalling....

[albie]

Nope. Too basic. Go back the other way. Remember. They drive a dust cart around.

I saw such obscure stuff as a kid....

[albie]

You'd think modern computer software would be better....media players that come with your pc that when you play a short film on repeat the control panel pops up when the film starts again in the loop obscuring 10 % of the screen.

Gates is a moron. Or I am for not knowing how to permanently...

[albie]

with the famous Robert Trebor?

no.

have another go. you won't get it. this film was babbage....

[albie]

I haven't been here long. I didn't want to overstep. So I made it less personal.

I hope the easter bunny brings you some nice choccy eggs, George....

[albie]

Merry Christmas.

I would like to invent a sport. Getting my duvet to not look interesting. You have to arrange your balled up duvet on a bed; visible in your peripheral view when watching TV. The aim is for it to not look so interesting that it does not continually draw your eye and attention away from a classic episode...

[albie]

Me and my brother had matching body warmers(cos who wants warm arms?)with the JPS logo on them! FOR KIDS! This was the mid 80s.

NO. We weren't just fat kids who had to wear adult clothing. That came later....

[albie]

I always think of MANNEQUIN when I recall this possibly trashy bargain bin movie. I think it "came off the back of it."

Man: loser. Woman: less of a loser. Builds the confidence of loser. They get together...possibly.

Neither played by stars you can name. Never in...
