RoboCop 2 and The Life Lesson Learned<a href="" target="_blank"><img src="http://i96.photobucket.com/albums/l192/davidd1/TRVsRC2.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br />The other day while I was watching TV, the not so classic Arnold Schwarzenegger Sci-Fi thriller "Total Recall" came on. Whenever I see Total Recall or hear it mentioned, I remember the life lesson I learned from watching it 20 years ago.<br /><br /><object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/5M0-gUEQOkY&hl=en_US&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/5M0-gUEQOkY&hl=en_US&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object><br /><br />Back in '90 I was 10 years old, and a HUGE RoboCop fan. I some how got my hands on a VHS copy of RoboCop and watched it any chance I had. I loved ALL things RoboCop. I would draw him, I had the RobCop game on Commodore 64, and I even loved my Uncle's Ford Taurus, because that's the car that RoboCop drove in the movie.<br /><br /><a href="" target="_blank"><img src="http://i96.photobucket.com/albums/l192/davidd1/robocop_taurus.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br />So, when I heard that RoboCop 2 was coming out in theaters, It was no surprise to my family that I wanted to see it. Luckily my Uncle Ralphie promised to take me....that day he became my favorite Uncle.<br /><br />As the movie opening got closer, I got more and more excited. "How could they top the original Robocop?" I wondered. More Explosions? More Ford Taurus'? More baby food? I truly couldn't wait to see this movie.<br /><br /><object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/BWN9SoNcdBU&hl=en_US&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/BWN9SoNcdBU&hl=en_US&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object><br /><br />when the day came to head to the theater, Uncle Ralphie broke my heart with the news that RoboCop 2 got terrible reviews (after watching the trailer again those bad reviews probably makes sense). How could it be? All the anticipation dashed with 2 thumbs down? I was so bummed out. <br /><br />My Uncle suggested that we go see the new Arnold Schwarzenegger movie TOTAL RECALL instead. I loved Arnold since the Commando days. I even got the Commando flat top hair cut in grade school, but I didn't know anything about Total Recall and I was still consumed by the whole RoboCop 2 idea. <br /><br />Uncle Ralphie convinced me that Total Recall would be fine, so I sucked it up and begrudgingly trusted his advice...Damn I REALLY wanted to see RoboCop 2<br /><br />Most of Total Recall was a blur to me. Off hand I recall some cool effects and weird aliens here and there, but one particular scene changed my life forever.<br /><br />"The scene with the 3 titties". Yup thats right. Ask any guy and that's the only scene they'll remember from Total Recall. In the scene, Arnold approaches a woman at a bar and she opens her shirt to reveal not one, not two, but THREE boobs. <br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjyzz839ocivHMmcpE4iP0NUwVQ9XjzTgdfMEQwWyrsU46G_vL-F14CE371goAozCi9a6dZ315-Cu3fiYwN6sCeP-Vum6F6ItDOvzrb622oaVhoSfr3ysxr7-cbwE2HdiKVYbSQBeeH-KE/s1600/3boobs.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 264px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjyzz839ocivHMmcpE4iP0NUwVQ9XjzTgdfMEQwWyrsU46G_vL-F14CE371goAozCi9a6dZ315-Cu3fiYwN6sCeP-Vum6F6ItDOvzrb622oaVhoSfr3ysxr7-cbwE2HdiKVYbSQBeeH-KE/s320/3boobs.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5459794704714825074" /></a><br /><br />You have to understand, I was 10 years old at the time and I had never seen a boob in my life....so to go from 0 to 3 in one fell swoop was phenomenal. Add to that the fact that they were on the big screen, so they were at least 6 feet tall each....THREE. GIANT. BOOBS.<br /><br />To a 10 year old boy, seeing boobs is like the ultimate...Or at least to me it was. I couldn't wait to tell all my friends at school, they'd all be SO jealous. Total Recall made me grow from a boy to a man...well, a young man. <br /><br />I realize that I may come across as some sort of pervy loser in this little manifesto, but looking back I realize I learned a valuable life lesson that day. I was so consumed with RoboCop 2 and was so crushed when I realized I wouldn't be able to see it. But the Total Recall alternative opened my eyes to a whole new world of wonderment and endless possibility.<br /><br />So in closing I'd like to say that sometimes in life your path may change from where you want it to go, but remember, the alternate path may have 3 huge titties waiting for you in the end...Metaphoric titties of course.DaCostahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12788113892671559229noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8582695817352122055.post-77428904369233515012010-04-11T22:41:00.002-04:002010-04-11T22:44:55.353-04:00Who Is This Guy?<a href="http://www.flyingratnyc.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i96.photobucket.com/albums/l192/davidd1/RobH.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br />Now, you may look at this picture and think..wow that guy looks hilarious....and you'd be right.
