Terminator Is Out There

That's correct yes.

That's what I was saying about feeling like I'd watched all these films before just because the children at primary school would describe these key scenes in lavish detail

 

[woops]

I almost said earlier women with their tits out is another trope of 80s cinema. The couple caught in flagrante delicto in commando, shower spying in police academy etc etc ooh naughty like a clear marker you're watching adult entertainment

Very good point. Just a quick flash for the kiddies.

Why films like porkys were legendary in the playground

They definitely have a dark side these John Hughes films. Ferris is a bully, a liar and a cheat. A manipulative psychopath concerned only with his own enjoyment. People who are not 'self-actualised' in this way are marks to be used and abused.

Breakfast Club is the same. He accepts the hierarchies as natural and preordained. The nerd isn't allowed a girl. There isn't one provided. This scarce resource is mopped up by the alphas,

If the party has an ideology it’s what the French call je-m’en-foutisme, a contemptuous indifference toward others. It was exemplified by the House Republicans during the Capitol siege who, sheltering with colleagues in a secure location, mocked requests that they wear masks;

that's a bit watered down, the real m'en fous includes indifference to oneself and everything else

That didn't work in that case. Send a correction to the guardian. dickheads should have gone with I'm alright Jack. Good Anglo Saxon.

That boomerang scene was very important in mad Max 2. Starting to think a lot of these movies relied on a few extreme scenes that people would talk about. Like having nudity/ sex scenes. It's not so important now people in school can watch real life beheadings and porn at the click of a button.

Definitely - in Commando it was he sliced off part of his head with a circular saw blade. You would hear kids in school say "The gross bits in A were x and y but they were not as cool as the gross bits in B".

Just tits in general, as the primary erotic focus of the male gaze, is very 80s and early 90s, I think. When Pamela Anderson was America's favourite pin-up. Then in the late 90s r'n'b became the world's favourite kind of music, and it became all about dat ass.

Total Recall was better

Total Recall was better

Total Recall is better than everything.

 

[IdleRich]

I always much preferred that (Heathers) to Breakfast Club and all that bullshit.

 

[woops]

Heathers is great i recall from the actual 80s or it feels that long ago anyway
