Hey everyone - I just stopped by my boss's house to pick up a check, and she handed me a couple presents. The boxes were quite big. A quick look identified them as either a 3033 or a Creator tub, and a basic tub (studs on the top). Turns out I got a (...) (23 years ago, 21-Dec-01, to lugnet.off-topic.fun)

First of all, do NOT take any small children to see this film. I would say probably 10 would be the youngest who should see it, and that is pushing it. Younger kids will have nightmares for weeks, possibly years, if they are subjected to this film. (...) (23 years ago, 21-Dec-01, to lugnet.off-topic.fun)
