Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, pandas, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
The movie Blue Lagoon was based on a book.
Oh, yeah. I read the book before I saw the movie. My mom wouldn't let me see the movie as she deemed in too mature for me, but she didn't pay much attention to the books I checked out of the library. I didn't see the movie until years later.
I would have loved to have worked at NASA in the 60s, other than the fact that women didn't, everyone smoked, and I'm guessing not too many of those NASA guys looked like Loren Dean in Apollo 13 (he was yummy there!!).
My mom worked at an MIT lab doing work for NASA in the late sixties and early seventies.
For some reason, when I was in middle school/junior high, they would play The Blue Lagoon on regular tv (we did't have cable) at 4:00 in the morning all the time. I was an insomiac back then, and I swear I watched it a million times. As I grew up, I thought I was imagining it, because what station in their right mind would play that horrible movie so many times, but it turns out my friend M and her brother remember the same thing. They would have really been in trouble, as their father would not let the watch 'The Facts of Life' because he thought it was too mature.
The other strange today thing is that their are anti-abortion protesters at our hospital. But they are protesting outside the Eye Institute entrance. It is clearly marked Eye Institute.

Maybe they don't understand how babies get made.
But where do they GET the eyes????
My afternoon stretch of classes is about to start. I really don't wanna work anymore today.
Sophia, The Blue Lagoon is one of my total guilty pleasure movies from that age. I adored Brooke Shields and the whole thing was so beautiful and romantic and sexy and tragic! (When I was 13 anyway.)
I knew it was a book, but I've always wanted to see the original movie, which was early 1940s, I think. With a name in the female role, but I can't remember who now. I want to say Jean Simmons, but I think I'm wrong.
But where do they GET the eyes????
Stem cell eyes????

That reminds me - when The Last Temptation of Christ was out, some Christian group was protesting... in front of a theater playing Tucker.
