What was up with The Neverending Story? 

Happy to have you along for the ride!

I had something similar happen while I was reading through the book. I was convincing myself for sure that I remembered how they adapted these scenes into the movie, only to rewatch the movie and have like 90% of the scenes I thought I remembered not be in it And thanks for the sub; glad to have you aboard

I'm sure this must have been pretty cool to see in theaters as a kid

I distinctly remember the add for Neverending Story 3 playing on old VHS tapes I had as a kid. I've heard it's pretty bad, but in, like, a funny way, so I'm definitely looking forward to watching it

Thanks! I had vaguely remembered watching this when I was a kid too, but had never read the book, so I had a great time digging into it.

Hey, thanks man! I'm really glad you enjoyed it. Going back and watching this movie kinda put me in a weird place, because I remember adoring it when I was a kid, only to realize how many flaws it had upon a rewatch as an adult. At the same time though, a lot of people put good work into making it, so I think there's a lot of value to be had by watching it, despite the final product lacking in some areas. One might question how effectively they told the story they were trying to tell, but at the same time, it's hard to deny the franchises cultural staying power, so I don't think the effectiveness of the story matters all that much in the long run. The script works well enough for it's intended audience, and quite frankly, any live action adaptation of Fantastica is a net positive in my eyes, so I'm glad we all have this movie to enjoy

Thanks for pointing out the Moroder bit, I completely forgot to mention him when writing the script. The English synth pop line was mostly a dig at Limahl, the English pop group who wrote the theme song. While Reagan may not have been a fascist domestically, per say, I would argue that his policies and rhetoric did wonders to help lay the groundwork for more overtly fascist actors to gain power in the American political system at large. At the same time his foreign policy objectives often closely aligned with overtly fascist forces in Central and South America as an extension (or even a form) of later imperialist power projection by the Hegemon of the western continental region. In essence I believe he exported his fascistic tendencies abroad while crafting the landscape to allow for someone else to implement fascistic policies at home in the future
