Pippi effing Longstocking!
somunny:
The crap I used to watch as a kid...
Certainly I'm not the only person on this board who grew up in the '70's and remembers watching (and actually enjoying) the many adventures of Pippi Longstocking. My wife rented the 1969 (US realease 1973 or so) movie for our kids and we watched it last night. Wow, that was some bizarre ---steaming pile of meadow muffin---. The poorly dubbed english audio gives one the feeling that you're watching someone else's bad dream. This is without even counting the downright creepy relationship between Pippi and her absentee "Pirate" father. Those embraces lingered a bit too long if you get what I'm saying.
Still, I found myself laughing out loud at much of it simply because of the sheer obsurdity of it all. And the kids enjoyed it, which is what really counts. ;)

And I always thought the Wendy's restaurant logo and Pippi were the same girl.

I remember when I watched those movies as a little kid, thinking that Pippi was kind of cute. Whatever happened to that actress and I wonder what she looks like now as an adult.
Ginsu Victim:
Pippi Longstocking and Wendy both popped in my head about an hour ago for no good reason. Then I come in here and see this.
Weird.
Of course, I was thinking, "I bet Carrot Top looks like Pippi Longstocking or Wendy....as a drag queen."
