Horrible? Surely you Don't Mean 1987's The All-Nighter? That movie is great, man! A gyrating Bangles singer?, plus I've still got some screencaps of Michael Ontkean's duds from the extensive noob archives:

Maybe you meant the good kind of horrible.

I did mean "The All-Nighter" It was not a good movie, but I watched it over and over anyway since it had Susanna Hoffs in it!

Funny story, my mother found the movie in the VCR and was convinced it was a Appreciation. I kept saying Mom! Its not a dirty movie! Its the woman from the Bangles. You know "Walk like an Egyptian". Come on, I'll show you. She refused to watch it. I suppose I was lucky that didn't find the actual Appreciation!

That moment you saw those giant **** in "Just one of the guys" movie for the first time.

Or Jamie Lee Curtis **** in Trading Places! Or when Porky's finally made it to the cable Movie Channels. Or when you had a friend with one of those HUGE satellite dishes with all the movie channels and you discovered the Emmanuel movies? (sheesh there sure was a lot of bush in those movies).

Or the original Revenge of the Nerds... "We have bush!!!"

In retrospect, that movie is seriously, seriously ****-y.

Also, I agree with Spoo on Just One of the Guys. An era-defining moment, and a movie with everything -- the best little brother iteration, the iconic sweep-the-leg bully, some gender-bending, a Pygmalion story, a beach fight, and Sherilyn Fenn and the guy from Hamburger: The Motion Picture. Pure unadulterated win.

Interesting fact,did you know that Porkys is still the highest grossing Canadian movie ever made.

I think someone who was getting married was looking for a midnight blue tuxedo in 42, if I remember correctly

not mine

That'd be me.

Might be a bit short of a jacket but will definitely check it out. Thanks!

All this talk has me like

Nothing much clothing-wise has fallen into my hands for quite a while, but as a student of classical saxophone, I'm pretty psyched out of my mind about the record finds.

Went back to Gilt. A whole lot more outdoor gear, some recognizable names (Kavu, Pearl Izumi cycle jerseys for $30 @Fueco) and a lot I didn't recognize (Craghoppers, Cirq Down Jackets, numerous others)

About half a dozen of these for $15 a pop if anyone wants one, think I saw mediums and larges

How about some skinamax shows like Red Shoe Diaries or Marilyn Chambers' Bedtime Stories. Not that I would know what those are.

Hey now, let's keep this civil. I don't want to hear any negativity about Strange Brew, sarcastic or otherwise.

That's an absolute win for those that have that shoe, as it hasn't seen a retro yet. That's money!! Personally I don't do the whole matching my gear with my shoes thing. A little too cliche for me personally, but, for those that do, this is money... see below. If I did rock gear with my ****, that'd be a perfect shirt for these (Air Max2 is that model btw)
