Movie thread

Friday night we watched the old movie the lost boys with the kids. I really enjoy watching movies that I like is a teenager with my teenagers and I find that they like the movies too. However I don't see them being able to do the same with their kids one day because they just don't make those old John Hughes style teenage movies anymore. Which is sad

John Hughes movies are kind of like malls. They only did well in a certain era and are only remembered fondly by those who grew up in that era.

I know I know...

my teenagers really do enjoy breakfast club, the burbs, the

great outdoors,the original red dawn, and my 10 year old put down on his school "get to know me" sheet that Better off Dead was his favorite movie...

^Maybe you should buy your daughter a Cabriolet like in Can't Buy me Love when she turns 16. Every pert nosed sorority girl I went to school with had one of those things.

she wants a 4WD truck ...

Mrs Dex introduced our 6yr old to Breakfast Club yesterday. I was in the other room reading, but every once in a while I would overhear Mrs Dex say, "Now those are adult words, we don't use those at school, or at other people's houses, or..."

6 would be a little young to get that movie I would imagine....

Interns - You saw the best parts of this movie in the trailers.

Bummer. I thought that had potential.

+10. Epic movie and one of my favorites. "You're a vampire bro! You wait 'till mom finds out buddy!" LMAO!

Parenting......you're doing it right. :thumbs:

Add Weird Science and Weekend at Bernie's to that list as well.

Yeah, she lasted about 30 minutes before she was off doing something else.

Google Internship wasnt too bad. but it was one of those (like Bridesmaids, identiy thief, the millers, etc) that have about 20 minutes of funny introductory material and then you only watch till the end to see what the hell happened..

I watched Lone Survivor last night. Very good movie. Painful to watch. I think it will fulfill the expectations of the Black Hawk Down fans above. (caveat - I didn't read the book. I read Blackhawk Down before I saw the movie, and it made the movie seem kind of bland to me. If you read Lone Survivor, the effect may be the same)

I finally got some alone time on the 12.5 hour flight from Denver to Tokyo, on a brand-spanking new 787 with individual TV/DVR service (and no lithium fires!). I was able to watch a few movies that I have wanted to get to, like Elysium (only OK - worth it for the future tech and effects), White House Down (truly ridiculous but kind of fun), World War Z (turned it off after 15 minutes - what was the freaking point of that movie? Did a storyline or plot ever develop?) and something else that I can't remember anymore (it was a whole week ago, you know).

I also saw "The Nut Job" with my son this weekend. It sucked. But he liked it. Interestingly, it was produced by Koreans. The closing act is an animated Psy singing that crap gangnam song, while dancing with squirrels. While that may sound hilarious; it is not.

Oh the decisions. What to watch, NL's Animal House, or CaddyShack?

Animal House was on here overnight on some station I've never heard of before, IFC. Wayyyy up there on the dial. Not edited for time or content, all the cursing and nudity left in. I was surprised.

 

[NJmike PE]

same. I went with that over CS

Psy is banned from our household... glad to know I won't miss out on a good movie because of it...

International Film Channel ROCKS!!!!

 

[NJmike PE]

I am quickly becoming a fan of IFC

 

[Road Guy]

I found out the other day I have a free years subscription to stream pics on Comcast.

I didn't really know what it was but it's basically a ton of on demand free movies

And it includes a lot of movies that I like for example every John Candy movie ever made so last night me and my 10-year-old watched the great outdoors and I loved watching him laugh his ass off I'm glad some of my family has my dumb sense of humor

big bear chase me!
