However, I still like The Breakfast Club.
A friend of mine sang Don't You Forget About Me at her secondary school graduation last year. The whole year had rehearsed a little air-punch thing for the end of it.
The Breakfast Club will never die.
Say! look at you! You look just like me! We're very pretty.

A place to talk about movies--Old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Re: The Breakfast Club - I had such a crush on Allison (the quirky girl played by Ally Sheedy) and I was so pissed when they made her over at the end. And it's annoying how the movie tries to be more serious and important than what it is. But overall I still love it.

I believe I've somehow managed not to see any of the movies mentioned in the last several posts.

Thrive to spite them
As a freshmen in high school I had to take, I think home ec, and at some point we had a guy come in and talk to us about cliques or self esteeem or something. All I can remember is he brought up The Breakfast Club and asked which character we identified with, I'd never seen it at that point so I didn't say anything.
The guy then went on to do some personality assesment based on our choices, and how we shouldn't pick Allison because she was anti social and had low self esteem and we didn't want to be Allison, now did we?
Later on after I watched it I liked Allison, she was my favorite character and I hated the remake ,but liked her and Emilio together and hoped that he didn't treat her bad on Monday.

The generation that could change the world is still looking for its car keys.
I saw the Breakfast Club in the theater something like 25 times - my buddy worked at the theater, so we got in free. At least one time, it was the last showing, and we were the only ones in the theater, so the projectionist turned the sound up REAL LOUD, especially for the opening.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Unfortunately, yes.
Ok, Jessica. Let me ask you this: Was the moral of that story supposed to be "Always open your mail on time ?"
Just curious.

Art Crawl!!!
Aimee! Bwahahahaha!
I haven't seen the movie -- reading the book for book club left me with no desire whatsoever to see the movie.

Reign of Fire is pretty dumb, and there's not nearly enough dragon action, although the dragons look pretty damn cool.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Reign Of Fire is a thinly veiled dialectic on post-colonial relations. As such, I enjoyed it mightily.
As a display of sweaty manflesh, also a rousing success (so that's where Bashir got to).
As an action movie, okay.

Well, and there's the re-enactment of Star Wars, which is good for a chuckle or three.
