while waiting for the lovely Lizato return homw from the States the other eve, I watch Monster Club for the first time. Oh god it's bad...so why did I love it. No expense spent - bunch of people in terrible, Woollies Hallowee'n masks, ridiculous plotting and monster lineage charts...but Vincent Price was charming.
Truth be told, I'd watch it again...and invite friends round and make them watch it with me...
Belated Happy Birthday!!! I've been away, but am back now, and trying to catch up on flist stuff...

We can fix that by drinking tonight, if you like...
The movie was The Goonies and Ghostbusters put into a blender set at FRAPPE. It has some legitimately funny lines and two of the kids are so cute that you wanna squeeze their cheeks...
That was rippped from an Easter Egg on that old Mac-only "Secrets of STAR WARS" CD ROM that Lucasfilms released around the time of the initial updating of the original trilogy in 1996, that someone posted up to YOU TUBE.
That is the cleanest and best look at that scene I've seen anywhere - isn't it amazing?
I still can't get over how much Mark Hamill put into the personality of Luke compared to how little Ewan MacGreggor or even Hayden Christianson seem to have been allowed to put into their characters in the Prequel Trilogy. I can understand that the dialogue is best in EMPIRE (because honestly, it's the movie with the least Lucas-script-sprecht in it, that's a Leigh Brackett and Larry Kasdan "joint") but STAR WARS 1977 is *ALL* Lucas and Luke, as a character, seems like a living breathing human being, unlike the Jedi in all the other movies who come across as walking, talking, mannequins (with the exception of Obi Wan, and then only sometimes).
Hell, I was a newspaper reporter for six years. If I couldn't write / type whilst mildly pissed, I'd never have written most of my better stories. (NB: it's 11pm+ on a Friday night, so how sober do you think I am right now?)

But yeah - those masks were rubbish...

Just kidding. I haven't seen you nearly drunk enough--long-winded declarations of humble confederate fealty sound like fun.

Yes, it is Fred Dekker and if The Goonies were in Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein, it would have been Monster Squad.
It even had the kick-ass 1980's getting-our-act-together/training montage to a song by Micheal Sembulo that they make fun of in South Park.
