    I’m watching The Warriors for the first time tonight. Two thoughts: 1) I think I got this movie confused with The Lost Boys, and 2) Why are there gangs that dress and wear makeup LIKE MIMES

    Do you remember what *your* first R-rated movie was? I finally asked my mom (I couldn't remember), and she told me it was The Lost Boys when I was roughly the same age as my daughter (about 9). The movie traumatized her more than it did me, apparently

    I had a marvellous time at Dirt on the Gate in Christchurch, introducing a 35mm screening of The Lost Boys…a classic 1980s teen vampire film. It was a packed house and was so nice to talk to so many enthusiastic horror/vampire/film fans. I look forward to future screenings @dirtinthegate.bsky.social

    THE LOST BOYS is her favorite movie ever, but she doesn't like to travel long distances, so this may be the only way I get her to Broadway. Give her a trophy so I can give her to the vampires.

    Just watched Heathers with my 15yo, who says it's more of a horror movie to them than The Lost Boys is because it's more upsetting. They are emphatically not a horror guy so it's interesting to hear how they define it.

    The hotel I'm staying at has cable, so I tuned in AMC. The ad breaks in THE LOST BOYS were more frequent (every 7 mins) and longer (3+ mins) than any film I've watched on Tubi. And it's cropped! Tubi beats ad-supported cable by a mile. And it's free. I miss TCM, but not cable. #FilmSky
