"Oh look, it's the ********* from Karate Kid 3".
Doesn't one of the kids yells: "Get him a body bag! Yeah! "?
Hell yeah!
There was a time, in my late teens/early twenties that I could't stand it, but I later learned to appreciate it. Whenever I hear 80's music it brings back so many good memories now.
You know, the 80's music-wise were a bit weird for me...
Of course I was a huge fan of Michael Jackson (who wasn't?), but for the most part,
I kind of hated it... I didn't like all the mainstream radio music...
That's when I started listening Rock en Español, around 86...
I did however started listening to The Cure and Depeche Mode a lot though!
Nowadays, I kind of give the 80's more credit... as corny and cheesy as it was, I think it was pretty genuine, despite the over the top sound and look...
I guess it reminds me of the more innocent times...
I definitely want to check this out although I'm still in shock that John Cusack is in it. He doesn't seem to fit like the others do and definitely draws attention but in a negative way for me. I'll still give it a chance. Plus I heard that Jessica Paré gives a chestacular performance and I had a mad crush on her since the Jack and Bobby days.
Actually Cusak's character is great IMO, it reminds me a bit of Paul Rudd's character in 40 year old Virgin.
And regarding the 2nd part of your statement... it's just beautiful!!
When I saw it, Craig Robinson stayed for a Q&A session after the film, and he said shooting that particular scene was his favorite ever!!
!
And I like Rudd, he's grown on me a lot, but no way Rudd touches Cusack, EVER. He will never have his 'Better Off Dead'.
