Krull

I'm reading the most incredible book right now: Ready Player One*. There are tons of 80's references and some of them take me back to my childhood in a big way.

I was innocently reading along when the author happened to mention the title of a movie:

Krull.

The instant I read that word, I immediately saw this image in my mind.

Yeah, I know.....shudder.

I never actually saw the movie. I just remember looking at the VHS cover with disgust when I was a kid. It blew my mind that I could recall this image in an instant. Cheesy lasers, cheesy princess, giant claws, scary head and best of all: what the hell are those little glowing things flying out of the monster's mouth?!

So I convinced Brad that we should watch it that night! I warned him that I hadn't seen it, had somehow knew to avoid it when I was younger and that it was most likely horrendous.

We had no idea.

Brad made it though about 45 minutes before I noticed him curled into the fetal position, begging me to turn it off. I'm not sure if it was the flying horses with flaming hooves, the silly princess, the annoying character who kept turning into random animals or the cyclops that put him over the edge.
