| 3920 | Article | Lazlo | I am a great fan of "The Breakfast Club" and John Hughes, and feel so blessed to have had both as part of my teen years. I think you have some insightful comments about BK. It was indeed about five teens, who could have been teens from almost any American high school, breaking through the stereotypes and discovering each other as real individuals. Its a protest against the clique system. And its full of these revealing moments: when Bender talks about his apparently abusive parents, when the Andrew (the jock) reveals a cruel prank he played on another student and draws a response from Brian (the nerd), when Allison (however awkardly) gradually reveals more of herself as the movie progresses. Really, the film is a breakthrough movie, and deserves a lot more credit that it sometimes gets. | Jun 08, 2017 |  | |
| 3929 | Article | OldSchool80s | Love, love, love The Breakfast Club. I enjoyed reading your perspective and agree with the majority. Thanks for sharing! | The Breakfast Club and Changing Perceptions | Jun 08, 2017 | |
| 3939 | Article | Hoju Koolander | Fun movie with some great monologues that do make high schoolers stop and think about those roles that are forced on them by others. A bunch of my friends actually performed a scene from The Breakfast Club for a high school talent show, which has always given the film a special place in my heart. | The Breakfast Club and Changing Perceptions | Jun 09, 2017 | |
| 3941 | Article | Vaporman87 | As many times as I've watched this movie, I've never actually viewed Allison's "makeover" in the way you describe. I've never had that "debate". To me, she is just opening herself up to Claire... allowing Claire to share this ritual with her. A bonding moment. It's just that there was the added benefit of Andrew seeing how beautiful she actually is when she is not hiding under a coat and mop of hair. I don't think she changed at all. | The Breakfast Club and Changing Perceptions | Jun 09, 2017 | |
| 3987 | Article | Superman | This is an interesting assessment of a great movie. Thanks for sharing your thoughts. | The Breakfast Club and Changing Perceptions | Jul 10, 2017 | |
| 3928 | Article | OldSchool80s | Love that the MC Hammer doll includes a "Real Cassette" inside! Fun finds. I rarely purchase anything when I go, but it definitely is entertaining from a nostalgia perspective. | Antique Store Finds: Reborn | Jun 08, 2017 | |
| 3930 | Article | Vaporman87 | Man. Still can't believe we actually lived in a time when M.C. Hammer was not only famous, but actually spawned figures and a cartoon. If not any other time, surely that time would have been the right one for complete reality implosion. | Antique Store Finds: Reborn | Jun 08, 2017 | |
| 3934 | Article | jkatz | I remember my family had a Joe Camel bath towel when I was really young. No idea where it came from or what happened to it, but given that I was regularly in contact with it for a period of time and never got addicted to smoking, I think all that hysteria was largely unfounded. *reaches for e-cigarette* | Antique Store Finds: Reborn | Jun 08, 2017 | |
| 3936 | Article | Hoju Koolander | @OldSchool80s I actually owned a New Kids On The Block doll that had a similar cassette gimmick, though it just featured an interview with the group from what I recall. @Vaporman87 When I worked at Disneyland as a costumed character I actually met M.C. Hammer while dressed as Kronk. He was still rocking a Walkman and it was 2001! @jkatz Yeah, Joe Camel was the least of our concerns. All of our Hollywood heroes from Ghostbusters to Arnold were lighting one up back in the day. | Antique Store Finds: Reborn | Jun 09, 2017 | |
| 3961 | Article | mickyarber | Of course I had the GI Joe lunch box, and I remember the mad scientist line of toys. My cousin Stevie had them, and like so many of his toys, the rest of us weren't allowed to touch them. I still need to get around to writing that "Stevie the Tyrant" article. Great read as always my friend. | Antique Store Finds: Reborn | Jun 22, 2017 | |
