Scarred For Life

@scarredforlife

SEWING MACHINE (1973): A startling PIF, directed by the master of the form, John Krish, featuring the final minute of a little girl's life. It generated a flood of complaints; not because of the horrific elements, but because it featured a black child. That's more shocking than anything in the film.

OMNI (1978): "The world's first major magazine of science fact, fiction, and fantasy" captivated me when I was 8. I didn't understand 90% of it, but I loved its silver pages, the UFO Update column, and most of all, the eye-melting artwork. Bring back magazines that look like this!

THE OWL SERVICE (1969): The deeply eerie title sequence to Granada's beautiful adaptation of Alan Garner's classic novel. One of the most mature children's dramas ever, for me it truly kicks off the entire Scarred For Life era.

As if to prove the adage that everything in the 1970s was designed to scare kids, the title sequence to ITV Schools show THE MIGHTY MICRO (1979) is an anxiety-inducing trip through humankind's technological achievements, up to and beyond the atomic bomb. You may now open your copy books.

“WE’LL BE BACK TO $3 GAS BY THE END OF 2026 OR 2027.” Then the economist says: “Not until 2032.” That disconnect is exactly why so many people feel financially exhausted right now. People are trying to plan their lives while experts, economists, politicians, and systems keep moving the goalposts.

Trump just confused Iran for Venezuela. Venezuela still has a navy, an Air Force and intact leadership. The U.S. only removed Maduro. Trump was describing Iran but he called it Venezuela.
