Once Bitten. . . another movie my sister and I watched too much of as girls. Our favorite line was "He doesn't want you because you're mean and evil. He wants me, because I'm nice, and sweet, and pure. So fuck off!"

Because, you know, she said "fuck."

Pump Up the Volume -- it was early 90's, right? Oh, loved! And it had a great soundtrack.

meara, I feel your "I can't believe I'm awake" grrr. Ugh. 4 a.m.

Oh meara, I hope you got some more sleep, and that you feel better, today. Traveling sick is awful.

But that was the point! (Plus young James Spader -- hubba hubba.)

He needs to call me.

I can never resist watching it, but truthfully my love is all for Lloyd. I kind of blur my eyes when Ione Skye is on screen, especially with her dad. Although I will admit I love the very last scene with a pure, true love.

I'm AmyLiz in this regard.

OMG, yes. Jim Carrey before. Just...before.

Ooh! That's how I feel about him in Peggy Sue Got Married.

I feel so out of this conversation. Those were all no-no movies while I was growing up, and it's hard for me to watch them even now. I've seen a few, but not many. So sad...

Well, you were pretty young for a lot of them at the time, so parental-guidance-stances aside, you probably shouldn't have seen most of them when they came out. You were ten-ish (and sometimes younger) for a good number of them.

Yeah... It's funny, though, how things stick with you. There are still a lot of things I can't watch, because we were told they were evil and of the devil...even though I'm far from believing those people anymore.

I remember when Top Gun came out. Our pastor preached against it from the pulpit. I finally did watch it, but felt so guilty the whole time and haven't been able to watch it again since.

Oh my, I adored Love at First Bite. "It's a chicken! Kill it!" Also, Richard Benjamin is hysterical. "I'm pretty sure I love you!"

I remember when Top Gun came out. Our pastor preached against it from the pulpit.

Really? What exactly did he preach against?

Really? What exactly did he preach against?

It's evilness: sex, fast planes...really, I don't remember. I just remember him preaching against it.

Fast planes?! Oh.

We always went to the Presbyterian church when I was growing up, and it was very much of the "God is love," accepting and forgiving stripe. It's hard for me to imagine going to church and hearing actual pop culture things criticized, or forbidden.

I don't think it's going to be as hot here today. Fingers crossed.

Fast planes are a good thing. I still miss the smell of JP-5 in the morning, walking out to the flight line. The sex, meh. I was never convinced by Tom Cruise and whatserface. It's very much a watch from the hall moment in the movie.

The only one of those movies I've never seen is the Lloyd Dobler one. I had to look the character up in Imdb to figure out what everyone was talking about. It's John Cusack and that's enough for me. Although, my favorite movie with him in it is Grosse Point Blank.

I get to play my least favorite game "What's the Smell and Where's It Coming From." *sigh*

It's upstairs and if the cat has pissed in the baby's room, a wee, white head will roll.
