Stumbled on "The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai", one of my favourite films of all time, on TV this morning. Didn't watch it, didn't have to, I know it far too well, and I have posters, t-shirts, mugs, patches, a headband and the novel, all purchased when the original movie came out, to prove it. I've always had a soft spot for this flick, but now when I watch it, it also comes with a wave of nostalgia for the time when I first saw it 25 years ago (!!!): opening night (summer 1984) at the Imperial Six, a Toronto theatre long gone, then went to work that night at my very first job at a local comic store where I'd just started a few months before. The closing credits always put a smile on my face. And man, what I wouldn't do for an oscillation overthruster!
