Last night I watched "The Breakfast Club", a John Hughes film from 1985, about five high-school kids doing a Saturday in detention. It's probably the best of the so-called "Brat Pack" films of the 80s. The movie stars Emilio Estevz, Molly Ringwald, Anthony Michael Hall, Judd Nelson and Ally Sheedy, who were big stars at the time but have mostly faded. I know that Anthony Michael Hall is in "The Dead Zone" on TV and Ally Sheedy was in "High Art" in 1998, that was widely considered a major career reviving film for her, but the come-back never really happened. It is a good film, still. I've seen it a couple of times before.

It was a fairly uneventful evening. I didn't get to bed until around four in the morning, because I was a little drunk after drinking a bottle of wine and sat around listening to CDs. I did have the urge ot go onto Live Journal and share profound insights, but in the end I didn't and confined my profound insights to nearly illegible scrawls in my paper journal.

It was snowing heavily this morning, and I wasn't going to my parent's house today, because I went yesterday and so I decided not to go out at all today. I watched a "Doctor Who" story that I recorded early this morning. It was a 1970s story called 'The Claws of Axos'and starred Jon Pertwee as the Doctor. It wasn't bad, although it did suffer from the problem of most older "Doctor Who"s, in that the aliens looked more comical than frightening.

I like The Breakfast Club and I really like The Dead Zone. With that said, I didn't know Anthony Michael Hall was in The Breakfast Club. I probably just didn't pay too much attention to who the actors/actresses were in the movie.

In "The Breakfast Club" Anthony Michael Hall plays Brian, the 'smart kid'. I've never watched "The Dead Zone". I'll have to check it out sometime because I realy enjoyed the book.

I really enjoyed that book as well.

I liked the movie of "The Dead Zone" as well. The one with Christopher Walken.

You totally should have come online and shared your profound insights. I would have loved to read them, without a doubt!

I also watched THe Breakfast Club this weekend:) Brings back memories of my youth.

I have not seen the Doctor Who story that you have described. I tend to focus on the Tom Baker episodes, as he is my favourite doctor.

I think it's aged well, actually. Aside from the music and some of the clothes, it's not too "80s".

It was quite a good "Doctor Who" story. I personally think that Tom Baker was the best Doctor as well.

I heart The Breakfast Club because it is a wonderful movie.

I can't believe it's snowing there.

"The Breakfast Club" is a really good film! It was snowing here yesterday morning! Mostly melted now though.

My best friend said that it was a pretty accurate portrait of high school life- as it really is..

And.. I've always agreed.

When they are sitting there talking... and sharing things.. That scene kills me.. They were talented.. there is no doubt about that.
