I'm always hunting on ebay for tapes, especially blanks, films and TV recorded off the telly. Anyway, I found a bundle around a month ago, most just rubbishy nothing stuff, but one tape said "A Nightmare On Elm Street", so i went for it in the hope it was a Channel 4 recording from the early 90's, when I first watched that film, at my aunts while bunking off school, on a recording off the telly she had. Well, it was, i couldn't believe it, i recognised the indent card it had for A Nightmare On Street, just a pure rush of nostalgia. The person who had recorded it paused out the ads which was a shame, but still, i was over the moon  |
…that’s exactly what it is, hooked on a feeling…
…and that feeling is nostalgia…those halcyon days of some of the most important things in our life being movies and TV shows and music and foods and smells etc and just experiencing at a time when all of our peers were feeling the same…?…all LIVInG those movies and movie characters together and screaming together at the scary bits and all knowing when those scary bits were coming because watching a loved movie just the once was never an option…
