The 1980s sci-fi running commentary thread

[The Call of the Wendigo]

Nothing at all interesting seems to be happening anywhere in the world this Saturday night.

There's only one thing for it, I'm going to have to take advantage of YouTube's Sci-Fi Movie Channel and watch a film I've been meaning to see for ages. It's called The Day Time Ended and, from that title and the fact it was made in the 1980s, I have faith it's going to turn out to be one of the greatest films ever made.

I don't have a clue what he's on about.
