John  |  IP: Logged Julie Lucero Film Handler Posts: 37 From: Valencia, California, USA Registered: Sep 2008 posted 05-20-2009 12:25 PM                     The plot thickens... I did a search and I see there was some discussion re stereo or mono in this thread from a few years ago.  |  IP: Logged Frank Angel Film God Posts: 5305 From: Brooklyn NY USA Registered: Dec 1999 posted 05-20-2009 12:56 PM                        quote: Mike Blakesley I didn't like this movie when we ran it as a new film, and haven't seen it since then. I thought it was boring. You are correct Sir! It was PAINfully boring! All that silly, hollow drama amounting to much ado about nothing. I work at a college and I am around teenagers practically 24/7. I never heard ANYONE talk like the characters in this film. As for Molly Ringnwold....too much pouting to be hot. Mostly I wanted someone to just slap her and say, "SNAP OUT OF IT." A much over-rated film, if you ask me....but of course no one did. Most of the hype of the day back then was that whole "brat pack" buzz -- supposedly these were the new up-and-coming, sexy new stars of the future....all going to make Hollywood LOTS o money. It was interesting Hollywood babble of course, but quite tangential to the quality or real significance of the movie.  |  IP: Logged Michael Brown Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1522 From: Bradford, England Registered: May 2001 posted 05-20-2009 06:55 PM                     That's got to be a conteneder for the longest tag line ever. Assuming you classify the line in bold and both the paragraphs as all being the tag line.  |  IP: Logged John Wilson Film God Posts: 5438 From: Sydney, Australia. Registered: Dec 1999 posted 05-25-2009 05:59 PM                     Well, if not the winner...a tie with this one.  |  IP: Logged Frank Angel Film God Posts: 5305 From: Brooklyn NY USA Registered: Dec 1999 posted 05-26-2009 11:06 AM                        So what do we call this? Cannibalism? Copyright infringement? Oh...I see, it's ok when they steal each other's 1-sheets, it's only us LITTLE people who are supposed to send them back under pain of paper cuts....really BAD paper cuts.  |  IP: Logged John Hawkinson Film God Posts: 2273 From: Cambridge, MA, USA Registered: Feb 2002 posted 05-26-2009 07:20 PM                     Oh, come on. It's called "homage," and it's totally reasonable. --jhawk  |  IP: Logged Frank Angel Film God Posts: 5305 From: Brooklyn NY USA Registered: Dec 1999 posted 05-27-2009 09:20 AM                        I know, I know, John....I was being facetious, given how it's not a film I thought was even mildly interesting, let alone one that deserves homage.  |  IP: Logged John Hawkinson Film God Posts: 2273 From: Cambridge, MA, USA Registered: Feb 2002 posted 05-27-2009 09:33 AM                     Sorry, Frank, sometimes the literal interpretation grabs hold of the brain and there's no letting go. Honestly, I think it's somewhat of a daring design. I mean, basically no one in the target market could possibly appreciate it, right? Some designer probably had to battle really hard to get some exec to approve that... --jhawk  |  IP: Logged
