What are some of you favorite 1980s bad genre films? Examples might include Weird Science, Willow, Krull, Flash Gordon...

The Dream Zine?
I hear what you’re thinking, “You mean your dream magazine wasn’t the Fortean Bureau?” At the time, it was everything I could make it be with the constraints (financial, content, format) I worked under.

see clockpunk.com for information. Strobist Info: Three lights! FInally got a three light setup going. One FL-36 bounced on an umbrella pointing at the background. A speedlight into a softbox camera right, up close to the foreground figure (rear figure is the same person, added from a different exposure).
