Star Wars.

I was only a child when I first saw it and it opened my eyes to this incredible universe, some place that I had dreamt of in my imagination but was never able to capture quite so perfectly. I believe I actually watched several scenes with my mouth open in pure awe.

My first Marvel magazines.
Specifically X-Men, Spiderman and Shang-Chi Master of Kung Fu.

I bought them at a news stand by the beach during a summer holiday, again, as a child. My grandma had given me some money to buy comics since she knew how much I liked them, and instead of buying the usual Mickey Mouse magazine, I found a bunch (literally) of Marvel comics that were for sale. Something like 5 for the price of one. They were old, probably out of somebody's basement. I started reading them and I couldn't stop. I went back for more every single day for the next week. Little young junkie that I was.

Marguerite Yourcenar's Memoirs of Hadrian and Oscar Wilde's The Picture of Dorian Gray.

Truly defining books, Wilde from my teenage years and Yourcenar only a few years ago. I guess I just had the luck of reading them at exactly the right moment in my life, and that is what makes them particularly important to me. To read them again for the first time would be magical.

1- the 1992 Royal Rumble- I am a HUGE wrestling fan and more specifically an INSANELY HUGE Ric Flair fan. I constantly got into arguments with people about who was better, Ric Flair or Hulk Hogan and the NWA vs the WWF (BTW_ knew it was fake but still a fun argument to have) and was watching the Rumble with friends. Ric Flair came out in the #3 spot and all my friends started giving me shit about how Flair was gonna lose when he came in #3 of 30. Over the course of the next hour between my friends givign me grief and Gorilla Monsoon giving grief to Bobby "The Brain" Heenan (managing Flair at the time but in the broadcast booth) there was nothing sweeter than seeing Flair dump Psycho Sid (Sid Justice at the time if memory serves me correctly) over the top rope to win his first WWF World heavyweight title AND hearing the crowd go nuts for Flair and then boo Hogan for being such a piss poor loser.


I'll never understand what the Fed was thinking here. I remember them repeating the mantra "it's every man for himself" constantly for weeks before the event. So why try and develop and angle out of Sid looking out for himself, perfectly legally ousting Hogan, having Hogan whine like a bitch about it, and then have all the announcers act like Sid did something wrong? They must have needed an alternate plan really badly when Hogan bailed on doing a job for Flair.

Hogan was the top babyface and no matter what he did the announcers took his side unless it was heel like Jesse Ventura or Heenan. They thought they could keep getting away with that but people were getting sick of it. People got sick of the Hogan ego and hypocrisy.

TV: Dark Shadows, Trek TOS, Babylon 5

Books: Stranger in a Strange Land, Emergence, the ERB Barsoom series, the Callahan books

As for why, I think it's the combined sense of discovery and falling in love. You might always love it but that discovery can only happen once.

Seeing Star Wars in the theater again for the first time. I was a really little kid at the time, but I was blown away. I'd love to have that feeling again!

 

[Lookingglassman]

Journey Escape

Battle of the Bulge

[Nardpuncher]

I also would have to say Star Wars.

The funny thing about Star Wars is that it influenced so much that came after, that if you were to watch it today for the first time...maybe we'd think it was pretty tame!
