"It’s been a long time since I watched a movie aired on commercial television. As a kid, however, I watched enough TV edits of films to have seen both Fast TImes at Ridgemont High and Sixteen Candles about a thousand times each before I knew that either film, in its original cut, features nudity. As far as language goes, though, any kid could figure out what curse words were really being mouthed by the actors instead of overdubbed words like “stuff,” “funsters” and “mothercrusher.” But a young person watching Weird Science may have been seriously confused, because much of the censored dialogue wasn’t even inappropriate for television. So, when words like “nipples,” “fart” and “bang” are replaced with “pimples,” “puke” and “hit,” we kids of the ’80s just simply had to abandon TV edits forever. Therefore, I’ve never had the pleasure of hearing a coarse phrase from The Big Lebowski turned into the bizarre line “This is what happens when you find a stranger in the Alps!” According to a ... "

"Perhaps it’s a certain soft spot for the navigator of my awkward adolescent journey, John Hughes; maybe it’s the affable charisma of lead Owen Wilson (who, even off his game as he is here, is just someone with whom you want to share a beer); or it could be the overall throwback tone of the film’s less-ironic, less-cynical high school setting.Whatever the reason, I quite enjoyed “Drillbit Taylor.Hughes, the arbiter of public school angst, originally scribbled the screenplay for the new comedy and allowed it to languish for the better part of two decades before it was dusted off by reigning comedic king Judd Apatow (“Knocked Up

"I was sitting in my jeep a few days ago looking through my iPod for something that would pick my spirits up for the drive home. Great little invention. Kinda makes that "10 albums on a desert island" thing useless. Just bring your iPod and you can have your entire collection. Anyway, I decided on the Counting Crows as it'd been years since I'd listened to them. Instantly I was transported to...I'll get to that in a minute. It made me think about that whole "smell is the best memory trigger" thing. Now maybe it's just a deficiency in my olfactory system, but smell has never done a thing for my memory. Sure, it's been instrumental in conjuring up old girlfriends and musty schools, but nothing really useful. Music on the other hand can open wormwholes to my past. When I hear the songs from the soundtrack of the movie that is my life I am instantly bombarded with memories. Sights, sounds, smells, the whole package. -"I Wear My Sunglasse ... "

"Here’s the dilemma. I have a list of well over three thousand movies I want to see saved on IMDB. I have a subscription to Netflix and recently every time I return a DVD it has been an extremely arduous task to make the decision as to which movie I should see next. In an effort to narrow down my choices and make the process of choosing slightly less overwhelming I have devised a system, almost a bit of a game for me. Here’s how it goes.For my first film selection, I have narrowed the options down to only films that were released in the year 2006. Then after I have watched that movie, my next selection would have to be a film released in 2005. Then I would see a film from 2004, then 2003, etc. The process of deciding is still laborious, but actually quite a bit more exciting. (I'm going by IMDB as my source for release years)I have already been making a list and have also already begun watching the films. I decided this might be a good time to start fooling ... "

"This blog entry is part of my “movie year countdown”. To read more about that check out my first Spout filmblog entry.Sixteen CandlesI kind of missed the whole brat pack thing the first couple times around. If it is something that keeps coming around. I dunno. It seems like something that a number of people of my generation seem to indentify with although I was still a small child when most of these movies came out.I guess I wasn't expecting a whole lot and I didn't really get a whole lot. The movie is about as vapid as any current Hollywood teen comedy that I might have accidentally seen. And like most of them also seems to somehow drag you along mindlessly without getting too bored but feeling just as empty at the end. Maybe it's a product of bad television conditioning.I guess John Hughes connected more with me with Home Alone which came out when I was 9-years-old. And I believe Macaulay Culkin was too, so I was obviously the prime audience. I co ... "
