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.
Don't you watch Road House, too? Or is that just ita?
no, that's my dad. he's one of those people who doesn't like to watch a movie more than once. Road House? he watches every. time. it's. on! his favorite lines are: "pain don't hurt." and "bet that hurt, didn't it?".
I think I was 13 or 14. Doomed.
I was 19 or 20. Was a late bloomer ergo was just as doomed.
What Vonnie Said.
Yeah, honestly, I probably could have watched it at any age from 10 to...now, and I'd have been just as doomed.
"Are you cold?"
"I think I'm happy."
I do feel a little uncomfortable with the fact that if I had lost my virginity when Diane did, I would have gone to a parent as well, even as watching her do it felt like...incestlite, at least emotionally.
My favorite scene is probably the one in which Diane goes to the boxing studio to ask him to take her back and that she needs him, and Lloyd is so bitter and angry (and physically battered) yet he can't help himself because he loves her just so damn much.
"''Because you need someone, or because you need me? .... Forget it. I don't care.''
Sniff.
I should totally write a mystery that a woman solves thanks to her knowledge of "Say Anything" which the police, being older guys, are going to miss completely. Like there's no way the vic would turn off the video in the middle of Lloyd standing in the rain and stuff. And the Detective could be all "Maybe she found something else to do," and my sleuth could say "How old is she?"
" Thirty."
"It's Lloyd...that's never gonna happen. We've got a crime scene, boys and girls."
Vonnie, I read that link, and scared myself. Because I think I could crush on Klosterman for all the reasons he says I shouldn't. And, yes, giant Woody Allen fan.
OMG, erika, you must write that mystery. Must.

Not just Say Anything, but just generally 80's pop culture. She wasted too much time/energy in highschool and college, it was thought, but now she uses it to save lives!
