[The Take Out Bandit]

The true failing of this movie is not securing Billy Idol for the theme song.

He did the song justice on his GH album, though.

 

[Seep]

Don't mess with the bull young man, or you'll get the horns!

 

[pizzapizza64]

Well, at least WhiteMan trashed Scarface.

 

[oatmeal]

Wow, this thread is a misfire.

White Man is racist!

 

[Verano]

WHite people like white man come up with most crazy ass shit conspiracies.
Im scared of White Man as of now.
:/

nah. it's for not having any David Bowie music.

a quote only gets you so far PINKO.

Gordon Bombay: Did you really Quack at the Principal?
Ducks: Yeah.
Gordon Bombay: Are we Ducks or what?

Now that's a fucking movie.

Ferris Bueller's fatal flaw is that it's a comedy without any humor. I think it might just be a cheeky piece of absurdism designed to illustrate that the bourgeois will laugh at anything labeled a comedy, even if there is no humor value. If the marketing folks had made an error of manila envelopes, mixing up the marketing strategies for Platoon and Ferris, I think both movies would have basically had the same critical and box office receptions.

:lol Stop man you're sucking me back into this phase of my life and I don't miss it.

Andrew: We're all pretty bizarre. Some of us are just better at hiding it, that's all.




HUZZAH!!

I'm surprised people like Fast Times at Ridgemont High, actually. Now that movie is a REAL piece of shit. There's no jokes in it. All it has is a decent pair of tatas and some Sean Penn stuff that's only funny in the context of it being Sean Penn not taking himself seriously for a change.

Back in my day comedies didn't need 87 jokes a minute! *shakes fist*

I'm all for re-examining John Hughes. Fun trivia, his son is much cooler than he ever was for starting the record label Hefty.

16 Candles was the first time I saw an approximation of myself (the geeks) on film or TV. It was a big moment for me.

ALSO:

Holy shit! Hughes wrote the story for the forthcoming bomb Drillbit Taylor under a pseudonym!

I love any teen comedy that features an abortion.

It directly led to the best scene from Clerks: The Animated Series, so it must be good in some way.

This thread is nuts. The only thing I have agreed on in here is that nutcase Ally Sheedy was better looking than the glammed up version. I've never met a person that thought she looked better after the makeover.

I feel like I'm taking crazy pills, because I certainly thought the transformation was for the better. Not primarily for her new look but because she finally mellowed out and stopped spazzing like a nutcase.

 

[Nicodimas]

Ally Sheedy was hot in wargames.

 

[Grizzlyjin]

Lol, Australian dude on American Idol must have read this thread.

Everybody knows that crazy girls are sexy.

Any movie that takes this,

And turns it into bland and suburban this,

and believes that is a good thing should be deleted from memory.

.

I agree with Whiteman but I'm certainly not that obsessed with it.

 

[Gig]

Wait, there are people out that don't like Scarface.

 

[MiamiWesker]

Wait, there are people out that don't like Scarface.

That are normaly called insane.

 

[BakedPigeon]

Now thats some deep shit right there.

 

[Armitage]

The Breakfast Club is good if you associate the characters with OTHER idiots you knew in high school and not yourself. Then you're laughing at the movie and not with it.

I always thought that white people's Scarface was Blade Runner

Oh don't you fucking dare.

 

[Kowak]

guess there needs to be a thread "Rocky IV: The American weapon that did destroy the USSR.

"If I can change, and you can change, we can all change"

 

[Mrs. Manky]

Morals of The Breakfast Club:

1) It's all your parents' fault.

2) Conforming is good for girls (Sheedy) but bad for boys (Nelson).

3) Relationships across class lines never work.

4) Nerds never get laid and will do all your work if you ask them to.

5) There are no black people in suburban Chicago.

 

[Ignatz Mouse]

"Shermer" = Glenview, and I think that's right, there are no black people there.

 

[segasonic]

no

 

[Xenon]

Are you Richard Roeper?

 

[Duke Togo]

NeoGAF!!!!

 

[ConfusingJazz]

Incorrect. By the end of the movie, they are all fucking each other, with the exception of Anthony Michael Hall, who is gross.

You might think he is gross, but in real life, he was the one porking Molly Ringwald in his trailer.

 

[Escape Goat]

Anthony Michael Hall definitely grew into his looks. Hes not bad looking as an adult.

Threads like these make me glad I can enjoy stupid things right along with good ones.
