60 of 275 · most liked firstMy movie club just watched Fast Times at Ridgemont High, which was mostly listening to people younger than that era be nostalgic about it but anyway... THERE ARE ALMOST NO FILMS THAT HAVE AN ABORTION PLOT POINT. Like this, and Dirty Dancing, are by (so so so) far the biggest. Part of our problem.
neutral · AI labelView post →Considering the recent wave of nostalgic movie documentaries, it blows my mind that nobody has made one about the Sherman Oaks Galleria, aka The Mall In Every 80s Movie. Fast Times at Ridgemont High, Night of the Comet, Commando, Phantom of the Mall, Innerspace, Chopping Mall, Terminator 2 etc...

In the early days of cable when I was in college, Beastmaster was one of the movies on continuous rotation )along w/ Road Warrior and Fast Times at Ridgemont High). Can't count how many times I watched it back then.

neutral · AI labelView post →I have strong feelings about this because I miss horny comedies like American Pie, and sexy thrillers like Wild Things. I miss stuff like Fast Times at Ridgemont High, Boogie Nights, Office Space, Eyes Wide Shut, True Lies. They all had sex/nudity in a way that furthered the plot, or was just plain fun. All of the criticisms I see here sadden me: >**• "It doesn't further the plot!!!"** It can absolutely be an important part of the story. See the examples above. Look at most of our ancient…

Not too long ago, I did a [**JoBlo Originals** video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CPhhTTn2mO4) on the 1994 Jeff Bridges/Tommy Lee Jones action flick *Blown Away*. In it, I mentioned that the movie had just been re-released by Kino Lorber on 4K UHD---a cause for celebration. Or so I thought. While the movie is largely intact, two minor soundtrack substitutions have apparently been made, which you can…
