Oh mannn John Hughes, great right?There's something really awesome about having movie ticket stubs to these movies, I mean, they came out over 20 years ago ya know?
So I had an awesome day. Saw an old friend, caught up a bit. 12:30pm Weird Science. 5:05 The Breakfast Club. 7:20 Ferris Bueller's Day Off.
Notice there's a bit of a break between the first two, its because we skipped Pretty in Pink...I know, I know...but I thought we might get a littttle sick of sitting in a movie theater if we went from noon to 9 at night. Sooo we took a break, got some pizza, got some ice cream, got some CDs and a part to my bike I needed...and why not? Went to a palm reader! Man I love Mill Ave.
I now know that I will have one happy marriage in my life, 3 kids (2 boys and a girl), and money will never be a problem for me! haha, awesome right?
Anyway, Weird Science. Its weird haha. Its weird how it runs so many parallels with Rocky Horror Picture Show. Rocky came out in '75 and Weird Science in '85...so I guess we can conclude that John wasn't always perfectly original haha. But it doesn't matter because Weird Science is awesome! Though at first it was hard for me to watch a full-figured woman making out with what is supposed to be a 15 year old boy. Crazy '80s.
This movie screams John Hughes. Its marvelous that he has such a unifying feeling to all of his movies. And I do love the cheesy little whoosh! sound effects through some of it haha. Oh god but the brother Chet? One of the single most irritating characters of any movie I've ever seen, though I guess he's supposed to be that way right? Which is why he gets transformed into that fantastically disgusting little toad creature? Haha and oh man, the accent. For whatever reason Garry gets this crazy accent when he gets drunk at the bar with Lisa and Wyatt...the accent is also used in, if I'm not mistaken, The Breakfast Club by the character Brian. Its pretty interesting.
Anywhooo, I loved this movie, but not quite as much as the previous mentioned.

Best song of the movie: Well obviously Weird Science performed by Oingo Boingo. :)
Suggestions welcome.
355 to go.
