Films often come in little packs when the genre is popular. One such was the cannibal film sub genre of horror. Quite a few were made by Italian filmmakers. The one thing they all shy away from in modern interviews is the use of animal killing footage in some of those movies.

Italian filmmakers made some cowboy movies in the 1960s. They were known as spaghetti westerns.

I've read about that. But it just made me think of spaghetti and meatballs with lots of cheese on top.

On top of spaghetti all covered with cheese
I lost my poor meatball when somebody sneezed

It rolled off the table, it rolled on the floor
And then my poor meatball rolled out of the door

It rolled in the garden and under a bush
And then my poor meatball was nothing but mush.

The mush was as tasty as tasty could be,
And early next summer it grew to a tree.

The tree was all covered with beautiful moss
It grew great big meatballs and tomato sauce.

So if you eat spaghetti all covered with cheese,
Hold on to your meatball and don't ever sneeze.

I am now really craving for some good, cheesy meatballs.

We would make them with cheese in the meat back home. Ah, so nice.

Meatballs was a summer camp movie starring Bill Murray. By the time I saw it, it was one of a number of such films no doubt released on the back of its success.

Ernest Goes to Camp was the second movie starring the character of Ernest P. Worrell, and first with an "Ernest Goes to..." title.

The Ernest character started off in commercials

For some reason, the only thing from "Meatballs" that has stayed with me is a scene where an obviously intoxicated Bill Murray slurs, "Eeeeeeet yurrrrrrrr oooooooooaaatmeeeeeeeal."

It is amazing what we remember and what we don’t. It stuns me when a family member will say “I remember when you did X!” And I have no memory of it at all

I'm often surprised when one of my threads gets bumped and I don't remember starting it at all!

It was bothering me how my memory is so shot that I can't even remember what I cooked for dinner on Friday. But now I remember, by damn! It was...

MEATBALLS (turkey meat, in the slow-cooker, with a raspberry-chili sauce glaze. So good!)

Archie Bunker was known for giving people a raspberry.

In his first appearance, Archie Andrew preferred to be called "Chick".

I remember that vaguely, and always thought it was odd.

In the Philippines, many unsavory men use "chicks" as a catch-all term for women. "Do you have many chicks at school?" they like asking younger men.

Chico Marx received his nickname because he "like to chase the chicks".

How do you know they're unsavoury? Is it another cannibal thing or...

Are you questioning his taste in men?

Starkist Tuna had a series of commercials where Charlie Tuna wanted to become Starkist Tuna. (He had a death wish I guess).

The tag line was “Sorry Charlie! Starkist doesn’t want tuna with good taste. Starkist wants Tuna that tastes good!”

Starkist Tuna. The name tickles my mind. I feel like I've seen a commercial before.

Here is an example of one of the commercials

Starkist

It starts with Starkist Tuna and ends when Starro In A Can flies out at you.

Ahhh!! Not the face!!!

You shall now stand motionless while Brian Bolland draws you for a JLA cover! Thus commands Starro!

There are worse artists to draw you.
