Lot of bad thoughts occuring in this here thread...

Maybe in America, but they were massive in UK and Europe.
They had the misfortune (as did Midnight Oil) of having to compete with U2 at the time.
Aside from Edge and Bono, both of the aforementioned bands could play circles around U2, but U2 had IT.

I'll never forget getting a Louisville Slugger and the "Once Upon A Time" cassette on my 11th b-day.
I remember buying "Street Fighting Years" at the Round Lake Beach Omni.
I saw the "Real Life" tour at the Vic.

I love Simple Minds.

At Gordon we didn't just have detention where you sat there and daydreamed. They would give you a giant number like 27,862 and then you had to subtract a small number like 4 or 6 and show all the fucking work on paper. When you did all that shit your hour was over.

At Marist you had to stand silently reading a hard cover book for a half hour. Then another half hour sitting.

I wish I could say this.


I didn't like the movie the first time I saw it, and still can't stand it.

Needless to say, Breakfast Club doesn't make the cut...

I would have dug this movie if everyone hadn't just absolutelyhyped the shit out of it. I didn't see it til years later.....and it doesn't standthe test of time. Corny. Lame. Predictable....etc

The movie is definitely dated. It was probably out of this world awesome in 1984

Right. But then there are movies like Ferris Bueller's day off that are great forever.

I just don't think Breakfast Club was that well written...

What? This takes all of five seconds. You subtract 4 from 62 and bring down the numbers you didn't carry from. Did you have to subtract your way down to zero?

_________________

Yeah, all the way to zero showing the work. It sucked.

This is one of those movies I used to like when I was a young teenager. Then, I went to college and it seemed like every lame white person from the suburbs thought it was profound art and one of cinema's classics. TBS started running it ad nauseam in the late 90s and I began to notice how lame and self-indulgent most of the characters were. Just bitchy whiny 80s versions of Holden Caufield (who is one of the worst characters in one of literature's most overrated books). I know they were supposed to be teenagers but, ugh, shut the fuck up already.

P.S. Did anyone else go to a high school where they called detention a jug?

Back off, Warchild. Seriously.

When those asshole kids in The Breakfast Club grew up I have no doubt their favorite restaurant was Copper's Hawk. In fact, I bet Ally Sheedy's character worked there as a hostess.

Yeah, we called detention "jug" at Gordon. You couldn't graduate if you had outstanding detention, so toward the end of the year they would offer two hour for one hour specials. All the reprobates would love that.

In middle school we had lunch detentions for tardiness and after-school detentions for behavioral infractions. If you got three after-school detentions in a quarter, you got a Saturday detention, which was like 9 to noon or something. If you skipped a detention, you got a second one, but it didn't count as an extra toward Saturdays. This is all quite byzantine, but I'm pretty sure middle school exists only to create elaborate disciplinary systems. I don't think we had after-school detention at the Badger Country Club, but if you really fucked up, they'd stuff you in a 5'x5' solitary confinement room all day.

The movie might not be great, but the number of lines that came from the movie make it really good, which means the writing had to be decent.

Claire, Niagra Falls, me hitting you and you hitting the floor, Jocko, You want more!

Great one liners might not make a great movie, but great lines means someone was doing a good job with writing the lines.

Breakfast Club was supposedly Northbrook, though, right?

Also, did anyone else's high schools have the five-by-five solitary rooms for in-school suspensions that mine had, or is that splendid development particular to a post-Columbine America?

_________________

Shermer is a street in Northbrook, the school was either Maine North or East, whichever closed, it was written regarding the actual breakfast club at NT as Hughes Nieces and nephews went to New Trier with me. Susy Hardy his niece didnt make it, but one of her best friends, Lily Taylor did. I will just assume with some john hughes help, even if it was just who to call.

Maine North, I believe, but weren't some shots filmed at Glenbrook South as well?

Weird how many closed high schools there are around here. Forest View in the south part of Arlington Heights is still standing, and the old Arlington High School on Euclid is some nutty Christian school now.
