Name another.
robert smith
What aspect of the movie is he involved in?
he isn't. only in concept.
figure it out.
hmmm
I havent seen the movie in ages.
I may have to watch again.
Is it that Edward looks like Robert Smith?
Robert Smith can make cool shapes in bushes?
Rober Smith is a master with a pair of scissors?
...tight black vinyl...
hmmm
you asked for reasons....
Keep going.
the significance of philo upon this movie
a "good guy" dressed like a borg.
He is a cutie, aint he?
hmmm... never thought of it like
that, tard, it does kinda look like that.
heh heh
still...
he's yummy lookin.
And who the hell was that blonde bully kid? Wasn't he a nice-boy in some earlier "teen coming-of-age" typa flicks, like Weird Science & Breakfast Club? That was before his nuts dropped though...
correct on both counts
it was anthony michael hall
it was hard to believe his tough guy
boyfriend character in ES after seeing
his pansy-assed virgin nerd in breakfast club.
i think burton wanted us to chuckle.
i only recently saw 16 candles (about 4 months or so). but it has been elevated to my fave john hughes (a place previously reserved for Pretty in Pink). i've never seen the breakfast club but someday it'll come my way.
i wonder what's happened to molly ringwald, the once teen queen of the 80s. forgotten.
i had a special spot for andrew mccarthy, i must admit.
but those 80s movies are so cozy compared the the 90s ones which look like they're a McG music clip.
if anyone ever comes across it, watch LOOKING FOR ALIBRANDI, it's an australian high school movie which is actually OK because it came from a REALLY GOOD BOOK (plus it was shot at my school. my year wasn't a part of the film because we had exams that week). of course, it's a chick flick.
ANOTHY MICHAEL HALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
the pansy@ssed virgin in 16 CANDLES who 'hasn't bagged a babe"
i have a weakness for 80s john hughes high school movies. probably because i have such an aversion to 90s american piesque high school movies.
*echoes SFs post*
gawd...
i don't think i need to say this...
but have ya SEEN THOSE FILMS OF RECENT??
GAWD!
everytime i see one, i think of the great
80s teen flicks and just wanna curl up
and ball my eyes out because i think the
world is in a funk and playing a cruel
joke on those that managed to be kicked
out of the 80s prematurely...
the BREAKFAST CLUB is, by far, my favorite...
with PRETTY IN PINK at a close second.
here's what i despise about both PRETTY IN PINK
and 16 CANDLES (esp the latter)...
the image of the IDEAL male.
to me, jake (16C), was a complete dick.
i realize he had some sort of an epiphany
somewhere in that movie, which made him
go for ringwald...
what bothers me, is that the reasons jake
dumped his (then) girlfriend are the same
reasons ringwald was so ga-ga over him.
granted, it was the 80s. and nothing smells
like money better that the 80s. (not that i
was rambling on about jake's money)
this is prolly what puts PIP over 16C.
i liked how ringwald didn't really change
who she was in order to bag ol' mccarthy.
and i really dig annie potts character.
(even though she was awfully fickle)
i also liked james spader's character...
another dick. but i couldn't see anyone
play a better snob. (i like the way he says
SHE'S TRASH... or something like that)
the tie that binds both movies is the virgin
nerds that love ringwald... (obsessed???).
both anthony michael hall and john cryer
were avoided. it's always been interesting
to me WHY this was so.
maybe someone can help me figure it out.
perhaps because they weren't (then)
considered MEN.... because of their sappy
'loves'.
i'm not sure.

i don't think you can talk about economics until you've seen fast times at ridgemont high. i can't believe their mentality, it was all based on who had the better jobs and everything was a little microscopic study of the world at large. and i can't believe how much sex was tied to money.
about 16c's. jake is NOT a dick. anyone who goes for daggy molly over beautiful, perfect blonde girlfriend is elevated from dick status in my books. he goes for molly not because she's poor but because he thinks she has substance. the reason why she likes him is because he's hot, rich and unattainable. so who is the superficial one now?
that is what i was trying to say.
jake made an epiphany, ringwald didn't.
something subliminal...
if jake had the epiphany, did that mean that
as long as the male of the relationship
treated the female ok... everything would
be accpetable (as far as the female looking
for a male to take care of her emotionally
and economically?)?
yes, because in their relationship, molly feels inferior to him because he's got all these attributes and she's only got her personality. so i guess he is the dominating person in their relationship and once he's tired of her, she'd get the boot and there'd be no arguing because molly thinks herself subservient to him so she just thinks that she's lucky he 'chose' her to begin with. by that stage, molly would then go out with the nerdy virgin types and realise what a dick the rich one was.

Best 80's movie!
never seen it [img]confused.gif[/img]
Not surprised.

Never knew this (might be a lie) but Rob Lowe was first offered the part of Edward Scissorhands, but turned it down. Said the character was too effeminate.
rob lowe is a fag whether he likes it or not
er.........
Who's that pansy in the forum banner? Looks like another "movie star", not an "actor".
ACTOR: Johnny Depp. just look at the range of parts he's taken, from Scissorhands, to From Hell, to Fear & Loathing.... That's quite a range.
MOVIE-STAR: Keanu Reeves. All looks and posing, no ability to emote feelings. Bill & Ted movies, Matrix.
you have made your claim....
and its quite a case.
i agree with you.
when i saw FEAR & LOATHING, i found it
interesting.
no necessarily the movie itself, moreso
the acting.
here is what i wonder...
could johnny depp be responsible for his
'acting' in ES??
i'm flip-flopping the answer.
i don't think that one must 'speak' in
order to be a good actor.
JD had very little lines in that movie.
mostly, it was made up of his facial expression
and body movements.
yet, one could argue that his facial expressions
were gauged (possibly enhansed) by the make up,
camera angle, and lighting effects.
what do you think?
basically, nothing will change my feeling
on that movie. that is not to say that my
perspectives wouldn't change...
i'm just saying, i'd watch that movie countless
times if but to see the end when she tells
him she love's him.
*insert GAY expression here*
ok. its gay.
but i like that part.
i like the look he gives when its said.
so plastic, so uneventful.
so powerful.
*snif*
that movie almost made me cry
(in an okay macho-male way, of course)
then i shant mention LADYHAWKE
