I am really surprised that you have only just watched this! Glad you did though as it's one of the most intriguing films to come out of Hollywood for over 20 years.

Directed by Adrian Lyne (9 and a half weeks) and scripted by Bruce Joel Rubin (Ghost) who would have thought that such a collab would come up with this? Really good film that never really got the attention it deserved.

Last night I decided to reconfigure many of my cbz comic files into PDF's so I could more easily read them on my iPad. It's not a particularly hard task, but it is monotonous and time consuming. To help dull the boredom I decided to put on a movie or two as background noise and something to distract me as the JPEGS are compiling into one PDF file. I decided on watching '80's comedy movies that had slipped me by for many years and settled on these two.

Weird Science (1985)

Apparently not the most popular John Hughes movie but I have to say I liked this far more than The Breakfast Club or Sixteen Candles (1984) and it's about on par with Ferris Bueller's Day Off (1986). The best modern day equivalent I can think of would probably be Superbad (2007) but far imagine it far more surreal. The two leads had a good chemistry together and even the douchebag bullies had some charisma that made them hard to dislike. This may be because they're really the only bullies from an '80's high school movie that aren't psychopaths and it's always fun to see Robert Downey Jr. in a really young role. Best of all though, they included a song by Killing Joke in the film, and that's apparently the quickest way to my heart. I have a feeling I'm in the minority on this film but I enjoyed it.

Revenge of the Nerds (1984)

I started off really liking this film but towards the end I kept on trying to figure out how they all weren't in jail. I guess sexual harassment laws were a lot more lenient then, but rape is still rape.

There was a Weird Science TV series that wasn't as bad as it sounds.

I thought it was great. Sooooo funny.

Ghost Busters (1984)

I started watching this film called Empire Records and after about 45-minutes in I realized I hadn't laughed once at the one dimension stock characters and decided to put on Ghost Busters in stead. I think it may have been one of my better decisions yesterday as the film never ceases to amuse me.

Saw Ocean's Twelve for like the tenth time today.

ok let me explain something.....i've been watching Dark Shadows since i was 12....and for a few years there it was the only time that my step father and i did not claw at each others throats....and to this day he and i get together and do marathons of the wonderful 60s soap opera....so when i first saw in Entertainment Weekly that Tim Burton was doing a rehash of the show i was very excited....then i saw the first preview....i could not believe that two people who claim to love the original gothic soap opera would turn it into a stupid comedy....and i vowed to NEVER see it (i mean you saw what they did to The Prisoner right?!)

but

for mothers day i took my mom and my two sisters out for lunch and a movie....explaining that they would have to agree on a film that they wanted to see....out of spite they choose Dark Shadows....so here i am.....determined to NEVER see this horrible film....and now paying for four tickets!

i suppose i need to remember that the trailer does not necessarily tell you exactly what the film will be like

it was awesome.....great (over) acting on all parts....especially the lovely Eva Green....and really had the exact over the top soap opera feel as the original Tv show......it had everything the original show had....creepy enterprising vampire, ghosts everywhere, werewolves....tons of subtle through outs to the original series...an over the top dramatic story and the cheese.....oh my did it ooze with cheese

when Jonathan Frid (the original Barnabas Collins) died a few weeks ago i had joked that he probably saw the trailer for the new film and his body just gave up....i can now say that i really hope he had a chance to view this as i am sure he would have loved it

Well this has to be one of the most awkward films I've ever seen. That being said it was kinda good. The whole plot of the film is actually pretty hysterical despite the dark undertones. Killer soundtrack.

I "watched" this last night. Don't remember much of it though cause I was getting a bj for most of it. :p:

I hope you cleaned up after yourself or I'm going to ****ing kill you.

I'm too lazy to find posters for them but I've see a couple recently.

DiG! - Documentary on The Brian Jonestown Massacre. Anton is such a prick. Great film though.

Play Misty For Me - I wanted to stomp Jessica Walter's character the entire time. I didn't understand why it took so long for a solution to actually be made. I think Clint likes vaginas too much.

The Untouchables. Wonderful film that surprised the hell out of me with some great acting from Mr. Connery.
