The vintage treasures I can't resist buying!

The vintage treasures I can't resist buying!
I moved to Allen in 1998. This was the mall of my youth. I had a friend who worked at Godiva.. which is dang near where you are pointed to at 3:41. I had another friend that worked at the Sharper Image across from it. It's all gone now.
Oh ya, I forgot about the Godiva place. Yum!!
The scene where the guy with the beard crashes his truck on the edge of the incline wall on the edge of freeway is on the southeast corner (South Padre Island Drive and Carrol lane) from the wienerschnitzel restaurant which is seen in the background of scene. The Texas Bar-B-Q House restaurant is now a Tesla Dealership and McKenzie Volkswagen dealer is now Hick Family Subaru dealer! FYI 😉
I don't recall ever seeing this. But I have seen and shared a few filming location videos. That model is thought to be in the town where it was filmed. Where the sequel was filmed too. Please, I want to see you do 'Heathers.' It is hard not to love a film with Christian Slater.
when was this made in the eighties!?
Dyanisti dollors
So cool! Interesting and fun video! I have one to which belonged to my grandfather. Will see if it works now. :)
@@natureartswe Nice! We’re glad you enjoyed the video. Good luck!
I used lidocaine patches on my finger it worked
Loved the video funny though the shirt caught my eye, and distracted me,, loved that show !
BeetleJuice is what makes this movie with only 15 min of air time and I have eaten a Chic A Stick spelled Stix….They are a really good candy bar/stick of peanuty goodness…
Zagnut is a candy bar my mom always liked… I think it’s ok but never think of them… I like BeetleJuice also…
Is it hard to get into the shows to see the bands?
There are 2 show times per band, and for the main stage shows you have a set time to attend. So you can get in to see any bands you want without any problem.
A+ video! LOVE IT! Fascinating hearing everyone's perspectives on the movie, I can't wait to see Beetlejuice Beetlejuice in the theater!
x I saw Beetlejuice in my hometown theater in the 80s and am going to watch Beetlejuice Beetlejuice in the same theater! o My godparents have owned and run the theater since the early 90s. o Beetlejuice Beetlejuice is my most anticipated movie to see in the theater! x I saw Beetlejuice again recently on my elementary school graduation anniversary. x Edward Scissorhands was released on my 11th birthday. o I watched it again recently on my 44th birthday. x 15:06 The first movie I went to alone at the theater was Mean Girls. o There were two people in the theater, another guy in the middle and myself. x I had no idea that Zagnut was a candy bar! x Last year, on my Master's Graduation anniversary, I watched a movie double feature of two of the most significant movies I watched during the Master's program: o I called the double feature Mean Heathers. o For it, I watched Mean Girls then Heathers. o It rocks! x 22:24 You simply MUST do Heathers for a Dinner & A Movie! o It's an 80s classic AND a Gen X classic! o I am surprised there are still people out there around our age who haven't seen it!
Hey Ben, thanks for watching and sharing your thoughts! I think it's so cool that your godparents own a movie theater, wow! Glad you're getting to see it there, which will definitely add to the nostalgia. It's too bad we don't live closer because I'd totally invite myself to go with you, LOL!! I gotta find me some friends who are as enthusiastic about this movie premiere as me, ha ha! I told Keith he could pick the next film... still waiting to see what he picks. I think he's leaning towards an action/adventure movie since we haven't really done one of those yet. It's not my favorite genre. Let us know if you have any suggestions! I definitely want to do Heathers one night, and I've even got the perfect outfit (a red plaid blazer I found recently at the Goodwill, just like in the movie.) We'll have a Dinner & Movie video for Beetlejuice coming soon!
@@Our80sLife The red plaid blazer for Heather Chandler AKA "Red Heather"! That is awesome! My #1 recommendation for action/adventure is Romancing The Stone. If that doesn't go over well, I will recommend another one. It's really hard to gauge exactly what preferences everyone has. I am a big fan of adventure, romance, and treasure hunts, and Romancing The Stone has a great mix of all three.
It looks like both Beetlejuice and Beetlejuice Beetlejuice both have the "Bedsheets Ghost." The Maitlands both dress up as one for Beetlejuice and a Bedsheets Ghost is used as a prank to surprise Astrid Deetz (Jenna Ortega) for a prank.
I’m commenting as I view,I’m less than 5 minutes in. Abby,allow me to try to describe the Tim Burton Ouvre. He is a master of tounge in cheek Goth comedy/drama zaniness. That’s just what he does. Here’s the thing: I have a love/hate relationship with this movie. Listen,I get it,that Beetlejuice is this lovable wierd antagonist,but,honestly,I thought the movie,the origional story of the husband and wife just trying to get the goofy family out of the house was a far superior storyline. It kind of got ruined by the introduction of Beetlejuice,it had so much more potential if it focused on the efforts of Davis and Baldwin,as they struggled to navigate that line between life and death. I dunno,it just ended up going for zany slapsticky cheap laughs,instead of following through with that origional storyline,you know?
Really,I suppose what I’m saying is that there are 2 separate movies here,the Beetlejuice storyline is one,the kicking out the snobs storyline is another,and they would have been better as separate films. It just became too busy,too muddy…
Ah! Now see? At about 13:00 you guys start talking about the Maitlin’s storyline! That’s what I mean! It’s a bittersweet story,it was where the movie should have gone,but it didn’t,it kinda just gave in to this interruption that was Beetlejuice. And maybe that was the point of the movie,he interrupts. Hmm…
Ok,lastly,on a less Sisley and Ebert note,I grew up in Texas,I know where Lufkin is,I know the chick o sticks is. Listen. Crumble either one of those zag nut bars or a chick o sticks. Sprinkle it onto some vanilla ice cream. I’m told that it is a great sand worm repellent,but it’s also INCREDIBLE 😊
Ok final final lastly(sorry!) I have a tribal art collection,I used to own a Tsantsa,which is an actual shrunken head! I sold it 20 or so years ago. Why? It was the nostrils. It freaked me out. Tiny nose,regular sized nose hair. Yeah it was just too much. Sold it to a collector in Denmark. Glad to be rid of it.
Yikes!! I can't imagine owning a shrunken head... nooooo!! We have a quirky museum here in town owned by a local collector of all things weird and wonderful, and it actually has a real shrunken head too (along with a mummy, eek!) I totally agree with your assessment of the movie, but I'm not sure it would've had its success without the star power that Michael Keaton brings. Plus, I feel like his character adds a nice comic relief from the dreary subject of death, you know?! And your ice cream recipe sounds amazing, by the way. Thanks for stopping by and sharing your interesting tidbits, as always! Are you planning to go and see the new Beetlejuice movie?
Best drama e-v-e-r !! Still watching all my DVDs of the entire series. Linda Gray was my favorite and I think the most gorgeous woman who played on the show even though there were so many beauties, and these ladies are all still beautiful. But you could see on the outside - even when she was drunk (and a good one at that) - that she was truly beautiful on the inside. Love Love Love that show
Couldn't agree more! Thanks for stopping by our channel to share the love!
So yall just forgot the Luxor keno scene? 😅
I live here and it makes me so sad to have seen how it’s dwindled and is dying. Not much has really changed since this was taken.
where's the movie?
We watched it on VHS 📼
Still to this day I am not a fan of the movie ET, now had a pillow person mine was yellow with blue shorts, and collected the California raisins loved them.
We liked ET, but it's super sad for a kids' movie! I wish I would've kept my Pillow Person - not sure what ever happened to that thing! Thanks for stopping by our channel and sharing your memories!
I’m currently working in downtown Houston and looking at the Alley Theatre. Cool to know that one of my favorite movies was shot just a few hundred feet from where I am now
Very cool!!
One of the MANY lines that are in my daily rotation is: --- when he's in the convertible with the kid and the kid asks "Are you a cop?" Fletch answers "As far as you know." --- you don't know how many people ask me a simple 'yes or no' and that's what flies out of my mouth. "As far as you know."
@@hdbngrhangout896 That’s a good one… fits about any situation, LOL! 😂 Thanks for the tip (and for stopping by our channel!)
I found out that the oldschool ones came back. I immediately bought one. Since then, Ive done nothing with it other than trick it out with graph paper and a reusable notebook. I also just bought a pencil pouch for it just recently. As far as nostalgia goes, I have never let go of my original Trapper Keeper. It is falling apart and being held together with duct tape because it is FILLED with lore from my old superhero ideas that I made while watching Ninja Turtles cartoons when I was in Elementary and Middle School.
I brought the old one EVERYwhere. Of the boxes of artwork I did over the years, the Trapper Keeper has never left my side. So the new one is me playing with the old nostalgic joy.
Love this!! I really wish I'd kept my original Trapper Keeper (it was the rainbow pegasus one) but I'm pretty sure I didn't for the same reason... it was just falling apart from use. Anyway, I'm glad to hear you kept yours. Thanks for stopping by our channel and sharing your memories!
Brilliant video ❤
Thank you! 😁
Why you didn't add videos scenes? Is forbidden? Copyrights?
Yes, copyright is the main reason we don't use movie clips. Hope you enjoyed our video anyway!
I watched the lake scene being filmed, my dad rented some skiffs to the crew. It was at the HEB camp in Rockport near the Copano causeway. The ponds are still there. They had some crazy guy splashing in the water to immitate an aligator attack. Had to put carpet in the water so Helens feet would not get covered in mud.
*"Deal of the Century" was Chevy's best and most world relevant work before drones even became a thing!*
Interesting, will check that out!
“It’s all ball barring now” is one of the best lines.
That and Fletch in the convertible with the kid, with the cops chasing them: Fletch: ...Did you steal the car? Kid: I sure did Fletch: I don't think that even a crime anymore. There have been a lot of changes in the law.
what's a ball bar?
Cujo?

This was the mall i actually learned how to skate at and had quite a few dates with my girlfriend at the time there. Even remember the Taco Bell on the second floor that overlooked the rink.
Fun memories for sure!
That is all so cute!!!
Thanks Sharon! It was fun to put together.
Loved the series
This does not bode well for me then - it’s 9 days in already since setting this up and not much so far!
I was born in 1977! Just this year I watched the whole 14 seasons- absolutely brilliant TV!
I remember having a birthday party at my local McDonald's at the outdoor playground back jn the 1970's. It was a BIG DEAL for a kid back in the day

I have to agree. I tried it. No help at all.
As a Utahn, my favorite line is Utah isn’t exactly a cure for boredom. I don’t know if that is correct, but that’s the gist. 😊
That's funny! Those scenes from his trip to Utah are among the funniest. Such a clever movie!
Utah is awesome. Beautiful and such diversity, so much to see and do. I don't know how anyone would be bored there.

Just discovered your channel today. My favorite band of all time is The Cure. I've been listening to him since 1982 And have met them twice. I finally got to hear one of my favorite deep cuts on their last tour - Six Different Ways from the Head on the Door record. You should definitely give it a listen.
Will do! We both listened to The Cure back in the day, but it's been awhile. It's always fun to rediscover an artist (or new songs!) Welcome to our channel!
I'm gonna have to look for it on DVD. I hadn't seen that movie in years!!! Looking at that Steak Sandwich makes me want to get one right now!!! You two should do a Dinner And A Movie for Vacation, and for Christmas you should do Christmas Vacation!!!
Sounds like fun! And the Steak Sandwiches were amazing!! They're surprisingly easy to make - will definitely be having those again soon.
That's so sweet, she's sending you a gift on her birthday!
Sylvia is a sweetie!
