Marquee Volume 9 Number 4, May 1984
Only my third Marquee post and the second Harrison Ford cover. That guy was box office in the 1980s. I don’t think this magazine would fetch as much as a collectible though as there’s a small hole in the back cover and some fading.
Star Trek III: The Search for Spock was coming soon so it got a write-up here. And yes, Spock was alive.
I don’t think I saw any John Hughes movies when I was of the age to be watching John Hughes movies, and there sure were a lot of them around. I did see Once Upon a Time in America though, and hated it.
“On Location” was a new feature. At least it didn’t appear in either of the issues I showcased previously. Of the films mentioned here, I did not see Country, Beat Street, The Muppets Take Manhattan, Stick, The Flamingo Kid, Oxford Blues, or The Razor’s Edge. And I can still say I’ve never seen any of those movies. I did see Conan the Destroyer and A Soldier’s Story though.
Are they still going? Or did the internet killed it off?

Marquee stopped operations in 2004, which doesn’t seem like it should be more than 20 years ago now, but here we are. Tribute is still being published and distributed at cinemas though.

You need to remedy your lack of Muppet Watching’ness.

Somehow I knew that would be your comment.
I’m pretty sure I only saw the first Muppet movie.

hey, sorry to bother. This is very unrelated so feel free to ignore my comment, but please take the time to read this. I was looking around on Reddit and found a post about you . It read :
What happened to Alex Good from Texas in July?
The top comment was “I think he started a gardening business”. I was curious and eventually found this website. Are you Alex Good from Texas in July? Like I said, you don’t have to answer. Thanks.

No that’s not me. I’ve never been to Texas. And I can’t sing.
