RIP Bill Paxton! I think Chet was one of his best roles!!

[@georgehgordy1690]

How about a nice greasy pork sandwich served in a dirty ash tray was ad libbed by Bill Paxton.. When Bill and his brother were still living with their parents they both came home drunk late one night & their father was waiting up on them & noticed that they were too drunk ( Getting a little green around the gills ) So he tried to intentionally make them throw up ( Whether to teach them a lesson or because he thought it would be funny Bill Paxton didn't say ) But Bill said that's when he looked at the two of them & said " How about a nice greasy pork sandwich served in a dirty ash tray " Sounds like a great dad that should write children's Books right? Well maybe not because Bill's dad also provided the ad libbed line from True Lies " She's got an ass like a 10 year old boy " Lol, I don't even wanna know the story BEHIND ( no pun intended, well maybe a little ) that one..Which works out perfectly because Bill Didn't offer one... He just said yeah that one also came from the old man along with good directors know what to take out but they also know what to leave in... As for the line, some times it's better not to ask... Lol.. RIP Bill Paxton...

Kelly LeBrock is a very talented and underrated actress, even critics that dismissed Weird Science positively commended her performance. If it wasn't for those "Don't hate me because I'm beautiful" commercials and her marriage to Steven Sagal, I think her career would've went further.

Yeah, what kind of host starts out by essentially giving her little woke speech about how she thought the movie was going to be creepy and not age well. Making the actors and the fans of the movie feel very uncomfortable from the start. Who the hell is she? I hope to God they fired her after this. She is pretentious and self-serving and obviously just goes along with whatever the popular thing is at the moment, to feel like she fits in. Totally disgusting and I truly couldn’t believe she started the interview like that. Just a horrible person whose self serving agenda is more important than other peoples feelings. Thank God, the crap is going away. Because, it’s going to go down in the history of the United States and the world as one of the worst human moments in the history of mankind. Let’s piss all over the constitution by destroying freedom and the freedom of speech, simply to push forward an agenda that doesn’t serve humankind well at all. It creates a rift between people and draws a line in the sand that makes everybody walk on eggshells, simply to appease a small percentage of the population. The scary thing to me, was how many people were willing to go along with it… Simply because it was the flavor of the month. it goes to show what happens when people have way too much time on their hands, thanks to a pandemic. They start pointing fingers and becoming holier than thou because of their own beliefs and if you don’t follow them… You are a horrible person. Lol.

Great Harley Quinn at the end. The accent was subtle, but the characterization was spot-on. AMH was a great teen actor, but after a break, he was one of my favorite TV actors. Yes, Weird Science and Real Genius always battled for my favorite movie growing up... so presenting the panel was a treat for me to think back to a different time in me life. Hey, I'm just a big ole nerd. Not a geek, I'm a Nerd. ;)

[@robertlee8400]

Weird science was the first movie I ever went to the movies & seen with a friend by are selfs , we were only 12 years old & it was a PG13 movie . I remember laughing are asses off throughout the whole movie & this is a movie I hold dear to my heart , I can watch it over & over again & still laugh just like I did back then . Brings me back to that day .

[@billymac72]

I’ll always feel connected to these John Hughes movies. I was in high school in the 80s and grew up in Northbrook, which is where Hughes is from and filmed a lot of stuff for these movies. This movie had a big scene at our local mall and quite a few more in nearby Highland Park. Gary and Deb’s house is on the same block as Cameron’s house from Ferris Bueller and Joel’s house from Risky Business. Jake’s house from Sixteen Candles is the next block over.

[@murjanipeterson9825]

I was at 5 years old and being raised in Chicago The 80s scene in Chicago was huge and I remember everything awesome about that decade

[@jaygribbin1667]

That's really cool

[@billymac72]

@@jaygribbin1667 Yeah, it WAS cool, looking back now. It was almost as if Hughes was making movies about my town. I suppose I realized that at the time, at least partially. It was all very familiar. But I took it for granted in that I thought everybody in the country was experiencing the same thing. Sure, these films still resonate today with people all over, but there is something very specifically North Shore (Chicago suburbs) about them that I didn’t grasp until later. I’m glad they made an impact the way they did. They definitely preserve a certain moment in time for me, especially Breakfast Club.

Before Weird science, Ilan Mitchell-Smith played a totally different type of character in a movie called "Wild Life". Odd thing is his voice is still very similar.

It was these guys who who helped to make me feel good to be the outcast and made me strive to be myself and not worry about what anyone else thought. For that I will love these guys forever. They helped shape my childhood. Love how nice they all are. Just some normal, down to earth people. 😊 Kelly was and still is a huge crush for me. ❤ Also have to mention that young lady in the audience, it's so amazing to see that the younger generations are watching and loving the films that shaped my generation. 😊

[@TheKitchenerLeslie]

They've been trying destroy John Hughes' legacy for like a decade now because of the scene in 16 Candles where Farmer Ted takes Jake's GF home... they say it promotes date rape. And then the scene in The Breakfast Club when Bender's under the table and sees Claire's underwear and bites her crotch... they say that promotes sexism. Even Molly Ringwald criticizes him now. That's what the interviewer is referring to.

[@Hyperpandas]

...maybe it's because she hasn't seen it 100 times? She said she liked it when she was younger and was worried it hadn't aged well. Then she said it did. It's not a big deal.
