The Karate Kid #'s 1043 and 1044 this past weekend - I seem to be unable to get over the fact that the Karate Kid falls for a girl who will eventually turn out to be a Las Vegas prositute.

Speaking of whom (Elizabeth Shue) and the Oscars (another thread), the year Leaving Las Vegas was up for awards, Nicholas Cage won Best Actor for his role in it, and Susan Sarandon won Best Actress for Dead Man Walking. I would have switched the awards and gone with Sean Penn and Elizabeth Shue.

Speaking of which, I agree with Lobowolf (not a first) and also would add that I think Sean Penn is America's finest actor.

saw A Serious Man for the second time today... I think I will watch it again and again and again. something sucks me in

I loved the film too.

 

BTW, are you are sure that your compulsion to see the movie over and over again has nothing to do with the cat in your icon :(?

When I was a student the guys in our house watched The Breakfast Club 13 times in a row.

You posted that before the Oscars, where it was mentioned. Director John Hughes was given a fairly long appreciation, starting with Molly Ringwald (B'Club) and Mathew Broderick (Ferris Bueller's Day Off).

 

Mathew said something along the lines of "every day someone taps me on the shoulder and asks, 'Ferris, is this your day off?'"

 

And that's the one I watch quite often although there is no overlap between me and Ferris.

 

I was surprisingly saddened by the news-for-me that Hughes had died; since first viewing it I have always said I could watch 20 hours of "The Making of Ferris Bueller".

 

Not possible now.

Let my Cameron go."

maybe but there are lots of films that I don't even watch once. or is this just another example of catlike behaviour? :)

Great documentary about the making of another movie is "Hearts of Darkness," about the making of "Apocalypse Now."

 

Speaking of untimely teen 80's movie deaths...there goes Corey Haim. Lost Boys, Dream a Little Dream, Lucas... What a last 12 months we've had for premature celebrity deaths.

I like the life-expectancy chances of the 30-somethings to those of the 120-somethings.

 

Speaking of teenage vampire movies from 1987, which was better, "The Lost Boys" or "Near Dark"? (I personally vote The Lost Boys simply for using The Doors as the theme music.)

Hog, you ignorant slut! :P

 

Malcovich keeps playing the same character over and over - a guy with a whiny voice and flat affect.

 

Penn, on the other hand, ACTS. I'd like to see Malcovich try to play Spinoli - on second thought, a flat affect Spinoli with a whiny voice would suck. Forget that idea. :lol:
