4 Day Weekend (Anniversary)

Valley Girl- Netflix

The Last Chase-(collection) I had been looking for this movie for a long time. I finally found a torrent ....... and...........it was great seeing it again.
Cars are outlawed in the future so the Fall Guy and Woody the Wabbit are being chased by the penguin in a biplane trying to shoot their car before they get...someplace safe.

It is exactly how I remembered it (except it was a jet not a biplane)

.....Fucking bizarre vision of the future....

Old Enough -Showtime

Airplane -Netflix

Mr.Mom -Netflix

Star Wars (Episode I) -collection

Star Wars (A New Hope)-collection

Where Have all the People Gone -collection
When I described this one to Joe I basically said this.... there are some people in a cave when there is a solar flare... and everyone dies, except for them and some other people they find in a school bus. One guy is trying to find his mom, but she is home in bed and is like a rotting corpse, even though everyone else turned to powder when they died... I think she was only half protected by the school bus or something.
Once again I was slightly wrong.... but ... I am learning to live with that.
This was a really solid movie that hit on so many things that I love. It was one of the few movies that I made Joe watch (and hear about forever)that was actually enjoyable throughout. Usually they will have high and then very low spots...
One funny coincidence.... we rented Airplane this same weekend (also with Peter Graves) so we made many jokes while watching using the "Have you ever seen a grown man naked" line.

Bad Ronald-(collection)
This is another one of the torrents that I tracked down.... I only saw the movie once when I was young, but, the general concept stuck with me.

This is what I remembered; A mentally impaired young man accidentally kills a girl. His mother hides him in a fake room in the house, and he lives there. The mother dies ... a new family moves in ... and he watches them through the walls.
From that starting point I invented my own movie.... a grittier more disturbed movie than the one I down loaded. I (like always) made the movie more sexual. I remembered Ronald being innocent and misunderstood at first.... and then becoming more violent and delusional. I also had the impression that Ronald was a large,adult,strong man with a boy's brain and that he could not control his emotions or desires watching the girl that moved into the house.
I think I may have been mixing up a couple of movies "Dark Night of the Scarecrow" had a similar story ..... and the misunderstood mentally retarded man in that movie (played be Larry Drake) fits my impression much better than the scrawny nerd type that actually played Ronald.

Also in my head Ronald was sympathetic in that Frankenstien's monsters sort of way.... I remember checking the thickness of our walls at home and thinking if I did find a crazy man boy, I would just be nice to him ... and things would be fine.

The real movie was.... well ....less than I had made it in my head... Ronald was more belligerent and less sympathetic than I expected when he murdered the girl.... and then things never really got hot in the movie after that.
Although it was awesome to see it again after all this time, I am glad that it was hard to find. I had a long time to invent and imagine.
