Saw this today. Fucking GREAT:

I think I may have to check this one out.  I haven't seen a really good racing movie since "Le Mans."

Le Mans is a great film. I have wanted a Heuer watch like he wore in that movie since I saw it.

Not the Daytona??

     Hey, that's the girl from General Hospital with the dude from Steel Dawn!

You remember her in General Hospital? Hahaha. You remember the dude in General Hospital that sang a song about Jessie's girl?

Something about the Monaco that always stood out in my mind... yes, even more than the $30,000 rolex.

The Heuer Monaco is damned expensive at around 5 or 6 grand... but the one pictured above comes in at 30 thousand dollars...  a lot to carry around on your wrist... maybe if I was a highly successful professional race car driver who would actually use the watch to calculate lap speed.

I bet more get sold to doctors than to guys who live and breathe racing.

I've always wanted a Porsche 917.  I'd settle for a '67 Mustang fastback in Highland Green, though.

      As an oft grounded pest of a child, I had to sit in the corner while my mother watched every imaginable soap of the era. I remember Richard Simmons on General Hospital. And Dr Noah Drake having inescapable hits on the radio from 1981-84.

         Child Endangerment Services failed me.

         Child Endangerment Services failed me.       

From the age of 9 until probably about 14 (which was likely when we got a VCR with a timer-record feature) my mother used to make me come home after school immediately every day and tape "Days of Our Lives" because she was at work when it came on. That's one thing, but she also made me sit there and pause the tape on commercial breaks (this was possible because that show had bumpers to let you know it was coming back from a break). So that meant that I was more or less forced to watch the shit. Soon I became well acquainted with the intricacies concerning each of the many plots that would concurrently play out on the show.

Damn that shit was boring. Until Marlena became possessed by Satan. That was pretty cool, I thought.

At least I got to sit there practicing guitar scales the whole time.

My twin sister and I ran home every lunch hour to watch General Hospital to catch the dreamy Dr. Noah Drake.     It's a good thing we lived across the street from school.  Soaps were fun back then until they started stunt casting like GH did with Elizabeth Taylor.  :  And then you had the paranormal story lines that were incredibly stupid.

Oh my god. That is awful on a young boy. It's not often you hear a man make references and recall GH actors.

On Rick Springfield. While I was working at Cirque in Vegas, fellow performer worked on his show at MGM. Efx...( I think it was). Rick had a favorite pair of shorts he wore all the time. Day after day. Well, years later he ran into him again. He was still wearing the same shorts. Nice guy, very nice. Ah...but as Dr. Noah Drake...

         I'm having flashbacks. Having to tape it? Ouch. My mother and my teen cousins who lived with us, would watch the NBC ones in the kitchen, the ABC ones in the parlor and the CBS ones in my parents room. Couldn't escape. Then I'd develop stupid adolescent crushes on various girls/women(on the soaps, not my family) and find myself watching, but pretending not to watch.

       It was only about 1978-1992. I'm almost over it.

      When I start referencing "Loving" "Ryan's Hope", "Search for Tomorrow" "The Edge of Night"...oh no, I just did.

       If Hard to Hold had become the blockbuster execs imagined, he may have been able to spring for a different pair of shorts. Hard times, Hard times...

Ryan's Hope!  My grandma, devotee of all things Irish, loved Ryan's Hope.  SoapNet, which is off the air now, used to air Ryan's Hope.  I caught a few episodes about a year ago.

      My cousins are the same age as you(29, right?) and wouldn't even bother with school(seriously) and watch GH religiously. That whole Luke and Laura thing consumed them. I was about 5-6 and say nice things like "Luke has the hair of a fag".

     My ex-wife(and her mother) would still watch old tapes from the 80's in 2000. I remember working nights and coming home at 5am and she'd be watching reruns of Ryan's Hope from the 70's when Soapnet launched.

Bless you, but 29 is way behind me.    I'm 44.    I always despised Luke.  I don't understand how he was supposed to be this sexy guy.  Yuck.  His only role that was creepier was as a doctor treating herpes in the movie of the week, Intimate Agony.    Preview Intimate Agony Ch-9 - 1985

       My youngest of those cousins just turned 44, and she claims "not to remember" liking soaps that much. I think because her own kids are teens and she's trying to dispell any notion of couch potato in her past.

       TV Movies tackling tough topics. Always a ratings booster. The one where Richard Crenna got raped by two goons is the best of the era.

That shit is highly off-putting.

Justice is served. 

      And it appeared to hurt. Scarier than "The Day After"

Richard Crenna served enough hurt on the viewers of the world.  Payback is a bitch.

Richard Crenna raped?  I think I must have blocked that from my mind. It sounds vaguely familiar now that I think about it.  I'll have to check it out for S&G.  My favorite Richard Crenna made-for-TV masterpiece is Devil Dog, Hound of Hell.

My God Eddie!

  He/She/It could not have helped me. I was forsaken.

  My favorite Richard Crenna made-for-TV masterpiece is Devil Dog, Hound of Hell.   

      And like almost every TV movie/series from 1973-1979...it had Kim Richards as well.

Of course.  I think she was at her best in The Car, along with her sister, Kyle.
