| 3920 | Article | Lazlo | I am a great fan of "The Breakfast Club" and John Hughes, and feel so blessed to have had both as part of my teen years. I think you have some insightful comments about BK. It was indeed about five teens, who could have been teens from almost any American high school, breaking through the stereotypes and discovering each other as real individuals. Its a protest against the clique system. And its full of these revealing moments: when Bender talks about his apparently abusive parents, when the Andrew (the jock) reveals a cruel prank he played on another student and draws a response from Brian (the nerd), when Allison (however awkardly) gradually reveals more of herself as the movie progresses. Really, the film is a breakthrough movie, and deserves a lot more credit that it sometimes gets. | Jun 08, 2017 |  | |
| 3929 | Article | OldSchool80s | Love, love, love The Breakfast Club. I enjoyed reading your perspective and agree with the majority. Thanks for sharing! | The Breakfast Club and Changing Perceptions | Jun 08, 2017 | |
| 3939 | Article | Hoju Koolander | Fun movie with some great monologues that do make high schoolers stop and think about those roles that are forced on them by others. A bunch of my friends actually performed a scene from The Breakfast Club for a high school talent show, which has always given the film a special place in my heart. | The Breakfast Club and Changing Perceptions | Jun 09, 2017 | |
| 3941 | Article | Vaporman87 | As many times as I've watched this movie, I've never actually viewed Allison's "makeover" in the way you describe. I've never had that "debate". To me, she is just opening herself up to Claire... allowing Claire to share this ritual with her. A bonding moment. It's just that there was the added benefit of Andrew seeing how beautiful she actually is when she is not hiding under a coat and mop of hair. I don't think she changed at all. | The Breakfast Club and Changing Perceptions | Jun 09, 2017 | |
| 3987 | Article | Superman | This is an interesting assessment of a great movie. Thanks for sharing your thoughts. | The Breakfast Club and Changing Perceptions | Jul 10, 2017 | |
| 4023 | Article | Superman | This is a nice look back on the merchandise from that first Spider-Man film. | Spider-Man | Jul 26, 2017 | |
| 3916 | Article | pikachulover | There were so many of these. I remember the one with the girl who would dive into the empty pool. Or even of you got to see local ones from the state, county, or large metropolitan area. | Memories of PDFA, and other PSA’s | Jun 07, 2017 | |
| 3919 | Article | Vaporman87 | Obviously the most memorable was the "This is your brain on drugs" ads, but I also recall the "snake man" ad and some others you mentioned. These were mostly reminders of the state of affairs in the country at the time as opposed to actual deterrents. Even so, it is possible that somebody was affected by them enough to think twice about getting involved in the drug scene. | Memories of PDFA, and other PSA’s | Jun 08, 2017 | |
| 3937 | Article | Hoju Koolander | "I learned it from watching you" and the McGruff Don't Use Drugs song were my go to PSA messages. In my Summer School Health class around 1998 we watched a tape full of the Snake Drug Dealer style messages featuring everyone from Pee-Wee Herman to Gene Simmons of KISS and we were just cracking up the whole time. I recently uploaded a bunch of PSA commercials from my personal VHS collection here if anybody wants a laugh 1980s Public Service Announcements: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLG99Q5yS9Q6ymQSCBDhdqe1H0BPBWZrLr | Memories of PDFA, and other PSA’s | Jun 09, 2017 | |
| 4265 | Article | DirtyD79 | I still remember the one from the late 70s and early 80s telling you "Don't drown your food." OK, what condiment related disaster was happening on such a scale that it needed a PSA? Were kids injuring themselves with ketchup bottles back then? | Memories of PDFA, and other PSA’s | Jan 04, 2018 | |
