or the one about all of the Brat Pack at Georgetown
St. Elmo's Fire. Came out the summer before I went. Needless to say, it was required freshman-year viewing. Along with The Exorcist. Make of that what you will.
It's a real burden being right so often.

Buffista Movies 5: Development Hell
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.

Momentarily breaking in to offer an amusing, 'net only mockumentary.
For those of us entranced by Spellbound, Wordwars and Wordplay (the quirky competition genre)...Unflinching Triumph...a surprisingly engaging doc about the cutthroat world of 'staredown'.
As a person who can barely out-stare my dog, I was moved and inspired by the story of Phillip Rockhammer's rise to the elite of his sport.
Seriously, the film is well made and the associated web sites are really, really good.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Wow. What isn't a sport?
Wait, you said it's a mockumentary? So it's a joke? Whew.

I do believe in killing the messenger, you know why? Because it sends a message. ~ Damon Salvatore
That said, I couldn't understand what Andie saw in Blaine, and I kind of hated the ending.
I didn't hate Blaine, but i wanted Andie to end up with Duckie. you know the original ending had her ending up with him and the test audiences didn't like it and so they changed it, right? (run-on sentence much?)
my favorite brat pack movie is The Breakfast Club and always will be. so many quotables.

A joke, but a very well-told joke. So much so that one never sees the wink.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Heh. Emmett was having a staring contest with Matilda this morning.
"Blink, damn you!" he said in his most James T. Kirk manner.
(Not to be confused with his moist James T. Kirk manner.)
(Charlie Hunter used to be in a SF band called James T. Kirk. They only played covers by James Brown, Thelonius Monk and Roland Rasheed Kirk.)

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

That is awesome on several levels.

Then they got a cease and desist from Paramount so they changed it to TJ Hooker: Thelonius Monk, James Brown and John Hooker.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
That's even more awesome.

I'm in awe.
