And no longer would I be able to hear their mix of the Bay City Rollers’ song entwined with their call letters: S-A-T-U-R-WASI night.

Dessie: Agreed about John Hughes. I remember when the headmaster of our school used the end monologue in her graduation address. Class.

And Judd Nelson? You’re right — he could have turned out worse. But he DID have a scary phase for a while. My favorite iteration is “New Jack City” Judd Nelson.

Nilsa: Sounds like some clever parenting. We’re trying to do similar things to teach Av lessons by having unique repercussions fit the offense. Chances are he won’t be impressed. Until he gets much older. And probably not even then. Oh well…

S_CSR That was a bit of hyperbole; “Hot Tub Time Machine” isn’t even on his radar. And even if it were — I think even if he were 14-15 we’d say no. But I suppose it depends on what kind of kid he turns out to be…

Kudos for being involved in the TV watching decisions, by the way…

Finn Perspective isn’t only kind of a bitch. I see it as a bitch, a brain, an athlete, a basket case and a criminal.

Sybil Law: I seriously need to grow better boobs.

Karl: Speaking of John Cusack — I’m a HUGE fan but he’s been a bit hit-or-miss over the past decade. Loved him in, for example, Grosse Pointe Blank. Wasn’t impressed with “Being John Malkovich.” And “Con-Air?” Yikes. I’m not totally sure what he’s doing in HTTM, but I suppose we’ll see…

Janelle: Dude — I’m 37 and I don’t even think I’m old enough to see Purple Rain! I do remember when it came out, though. It was the most taboo thing out there at the time.

CMGD: Yes! “Last American Virgin!” I remember seeing an edited version on mainstream TV! A hell of a lot was cut out of it. And since then — I haven’t been able to get “I Know What Boys Like” out of my head.

hello haha narf: Just got in under the wire! I was sad, too. But hey — a year later I won tickets to Star Trek IV. Which I was allowed to see. And it’s pretty much the same film as Breakfast Club anyway. But with less pot smoking and more whales.

i’m sad that you got robbed of your winnings. boooo!
hello haha narf´s last blog ..Drafts

My first R-Rated movie, “purple rain” My mom took me when I was in 3rd grade. She didn’t have a probably with ratings either apparently. When I went to school and told my teacher what I did over the weekend she told me that my mom had no business taking me to see that movie. That was the first time I can remember feeling really bad and ashamed about myself.

Werid how you can remember radom stuff like that.

And my Q107, Was Y-107 (http://djshawn.com/Y107_Nashville/) and if you got a Tookie Bird shirt, you were like the coolest thing EVER! They were almost as impressive as a spud mckenzie shirt!

Like Dessie, I didn’t care a thing about TBC when it came out because I wasn’t even a year old yet. But the summer I turned thirteen is the summer I experienced TBC while my sister was at work. I wound up watching that movie at least a hundred times that summer and know the every line by heart. It’s one of my favorite movies.

I am pretty strict about what I let my eight year old watch and I’d never heard of the Hot Tub Time Machine until your post. I googled it. Why would someone think this movie is appropriate for a child? Was this meant as a joke or no? I am confuzzled. lol
