Toffee Apple bars were also amazing. I don't know how my teeth survived childhood.Shaneus said:

There is a Pizza hut (not restaurant) 5 mins from my house. Not that I frequent it, their pizza is pretty lame. 8 times out of 10 it will have a burnt crust and an uncooked base.
Which pizza takes 20 minutes?

Man I miss all you can eat Pizza Hutt restaurants, loved those as a kid.Bernbaum said:
Does any remember the brief time KFCs did the all you can eat buffet thing?
The Geelong one was awesome. I remember that they were largely in competition (for my own stomach) with the Sizzler, but Pizza Hut had hot fudge. Didn't matter that they didn't have the variety of foods because Pizza Hut had Pizza Hut pizza and hot fudge.
Only thing they couldn't top was the cheese bread/toast.

We would do the "make revolting messes from food" thing at Sizzler too but it was only recently that I learnt from my brother what he and his mates would get up to after a satisfying All-You-Can-Eat at Sizzler.
They would try to leave the table as tidy and unassuming as possible but leave bits of food hidden around the table. A big dollop of alfredo sauce under the plate that oozed out once the plate was removed; salad items organized into parts of the flower vase and mooshing leftovers into whatever nooks and crannies were to be found.
Oh to be young again!

Yeah I thought it was decent, but really the whole time I watched it I just wished I was watching a new series of Charlie Brooker's Newswipe. Similar issues raised in both, but Newswipe was less about being funny (not that there's anything wrong with that) and more about really probing into how the news machine works. God I want more Newswipe.Kerrby said:

Any recommendations on take away food? Sick of having pizza/burgers/chinese/curries/souvlakis etc generic foodstuff. Need something different...

Find a good African restaurant. Some great ones in Perth, surely Melbourne would have some too. A nice change from the usual suspects, and you might come across some good game meat (not exactly fresh though).
I know there were some Kenyan restaurant(s?) in Hobart too, which is also different to a South African style - which is a bit more BBQ-y.

We would always have competitions to see who could make the highest mountain of soft serve, either in bowl or cone.
Never ended well.

The earliest film I can remember seeing in the movies is Who Framed Roger Rabbit.midonnay said:
We were meant to go see The Fox and the Hound but couldn't get in so went to see Who Framed Roger Rabbit instead, it was a good decision.
Still haven't gotten around to see The Fox and the Hound yet

They have an Ethiopian restaurant in Brisbane, run by all refugee women. Its very cute. Not sure if they do takeaway though.
I just had Beef Stroganoff, which takes surprisingly very little effort to cook. You could try doing som easy cooking instead if you're bored of takeaway.
ah the memories. :') Though they still have sizzler for all your disgusting dessert fantasies.

Hmmm.....african cuisine. Seen some joints nearby but they looked very dodgy. I tasted some at the uni cultural diversity fest, I had no idea what I ate and couldn't describe the taste.

I love when AusGAF gets nostalgic!
My first movie memory is seeing Crocodile Dundee at the drive in with my family, all crammed into the back of my parents station wagon.

I slept through most of it
Somehow, one of the earliest movie memories I have was seeing Clockwise and Police Academy 4 at a drive-in with my parents and possibly brother. The ones with the really old, crappy blue-grey speakers you had to hang on your window. Although going by date, an earlier one still was the movie that this came from. Even remember which cinema it was.
I can barely remember what I did last week but I can sure as shit remember those things from my childhood. Go figure.

Same. It's eerie how similar most of our childhoods were. Guess that's what happens with middle-class children from the 80s... they grow up to post on video game-centric forums.BanShunsaku said:

Also check out Kvelertak. Might enjoy them more than The Hunter.Bernbaum said:
Crickey they really must have been mismanaged to not make it a profitable enterprise because EVERYONE I knew always wanted to go for Works. Would have had my sons first birthday there if they still did them damn it. Also Sizzler. That shit was the bomb for a childs mind. Food as far as the eye could see! Too many fucking options!Bernbaum said:

lol! 5 and 6 for me until we moved out of Adelaide. There was one in Valley View or Golden Grove right? That was where we lived. Ah, simple times.HolyCheck said:
Mine was the Blinky Bill movie. Bawled my eyes out when they destroyed the village.midonnay said:
Also Transformers 1986 is still the best movie ever. Fuck you Michael Bay, a bunch of merchandise pushers killing off last years models did a better job than you.
God damn I love reminiscing. I just wish I could remember more about my childhood movie-going habits. All I'll remember from these days is a blur of downloading rip after rip
We truly did live like little kings.
PS. Fuck yeah I'm getting emotional, what are you going to do about it?

Come on guys! It ain't that bad! We live in a day and age where I can walk down the street to Safeway and grab a Caramel Mud Cake for $2! Plus the average live span is moving in our favour! Good times in the nursing home ahead, I want the first sponge bath!

lol! me too
And then eventually I went there with a friend and ordered a cheeseburger - and decided my parents were right. That cheese was (is) horrible. I remember we went out to the pizza hut restaurant for a special treat once. That was somewhere in Sydney, though I have no idea if its still open.BanShunsaku

Pretty much all our movies were just recorded from tv.
Mum didnt even let us rent videos cos she reckoned they dirtied up our video player :'(

Oh, it's good... but I want kids to have actual toys and playthings and Richard Scarry books like when I was a kid. I'm spoiling my nephews by buying them tactile things they can play with and break and hurt each other with, but most of the time I see them watching movies on a portable DVD player, thoughreptilescorpio said:
I do still have a box set of Dr. Seuss books that I'm waiting to give my eldest nephew when he's just the right age to understand them. He's almost 3.5 years old now, think it must be just about due as a Christmas present.
