According to my dad who used to work on a few John Hughes films back in the day, Emilio Estevez would constantly call Molly Ringwald "Molly Ringworm". Like, all day everyday. Even when she pleaded him to stop, literally in tears to him he'd just laugh and make fun of her name. Emilio would yell it at her if she tried to ignore it, he was so unrelenting. Judd Nelson tried to intervene at one point but you could tell he found it just as funny. He never really went in on her like Emilio though. Members of the cast never really said anything about it to either of them. If Emilio was screaming at her and grabbing her, no one would get between them. If she was found in a room crying, people kept walking. and yes, I did say screaming. Emilio would scream in her face about it as a "joke" which some people did laugh at. He would point at her food and say there's ringworm in it. I dont even think he knew what ringworm was honestly. One morning when my dad showed up there was a banner on one of the sets that said "Who's got ringworm? Molly's got ringworm!". This is when she threatened to quit and threw a huge tantrum in her dressing room. If you read articles about why Molly Ringwald thought filming the movie was "troubling" this is why. Emilio actually tried slipping the word ringworm into one of his scenes but John Hughes stopped the scene midway - which was very unlike him - just to tell him not to say it anymore.
As much as I love 80s stuff I feel like I would have absolutely hated to be alive back then. At least now I can escape my loser life and chill on the internet.
Indeed. As much as normalhomosexuals complain about "social media" (ironically), I think it's better to have the internet than not. At least we have easy access to a lot of useful information. Back in the day if you were alone in real life, you were alone in general. If some idiots at school insulted you using slang that you weren't familiar with and you didn't have an older brother to ask him what it meant, you were fricked. And if you were a sperg with nerd interests in a sea of normies, you would feel like you were the only one in the world.
>If some idiots at school insulted you using slang that you weren't familiar with and you didn't have an older brother to ask him what it meant, you were fricked.
yeah back in the 90's we had to ask grandma what fellatio meant
This.
We think the government and society is corrupt at frick right now, but really, it's always been that way.
The only difference is that now, we can actually see all the fricked-up shit going on behind the scenes, and talk about it, and inform each other about it, whereas before the internet, it would just happen without us knowing about it, and the TV would say "everything is okay", and we had no choice but to believe the only information we had: That everything was okay.
nah that's moronic people are pants on head moronic now even normies are fricking autistic
I think 1998 was probably the time to end technological progression
>At least we have easy access to a lot of useful information
For every one person that net benefited from the Internet, we have about 50 that came out worse because of it. Probably more
The 90s to early 2000s really was kind of a golden era. >Don't care about technology? Going out for a bike ride with your friends, just looking for shit to do, or places to walk around, maybe stopping by a corner store for a slurpee or some 5-cent candies, or finding some abandoned shit where you can throw rocks at old junk was totally normal >If you were older, you'd go for a car cruise out to some spot to drink or smoke some weed, and maybe shoot pellet guns or slingshots at shit >If you were big into technology and had no friends, computer and console video games were becoming HUGE, just starting to edge their way out of niche hobby, tons of people with passion for good games were leading development teams to make grand experiences unlike anything seen in the 16-bit era >If you liked tech and had friends, it was the golden age of couch-multiplayer for consoles (remember when factory consoles came with FOUR controller ports?) and LAN parties were more popular than ever.
It truly was the best balance between entertainment-technology and social cohesion. In the 80s, there was too little entertainment-tech available, and too much focus on socializing, whereas in the 2010s, there was already getting to be too much entertainment-tech reliance, and too little focus on socializing.
>If some idiots at school insulted you using slang that you weren't familiar with and you didn't have an older brother to ask him what it meant, you were fricked.

I asked my mom what the Spanish slang word for blowjob meant cause I had no idea and she said she didn't know either. So everyone in my class literally pointed fingers at me and said "HE DOESNT KNOW WHAT IT MEANS :D"
For me the sweet spot was the 2000s when only the right people had internet access or cared enough to participate actively on the internet. Now it's full of ESLs from shitty countries, normalgays, women, etc.
>ESLs
Ii never understood how this is an insult. I'm literally the only one in my social circle who only speaks English, and it always made me feel kind of insecure. Hell, my fricking aunt speaks four languages and she's like 70. Granted, she used to be a stewardess, but still. Kinda regret not learning at least one foreign language when I was younger, 'cause there's no way I'm doing it now.
It's an insult only when it implies that it's someone who can barely speak English. It's fricking annoying when you see so many people posting in broken English and using American slang they learned from Netflix. >you not ... watches star wars xD sounds like you moron bro!
You can escape your loser life in 3D, anon. Lift, read a book, go for a hike, join the local drama club, restore that old car that's been rotting away in the garage, paint, get a workbench and make some shit, take up am instrument, fricking go for a drink alone for frick's sake.
Motherfricker if they told you breathing is normalhomosexualry would you hold your breath until you croaked? Frick. Being an edgy, troubled, 2-1337-4u loner in a dark room surrounded by crusty take-out packages is only cool in the movies, homosexual. IRL it's pathetic and weak. Get the frick out of the house, Serial Experiments Lame, 'case one day you're gonna wake up and you're gonna be 50, and boy that won't be a pretty picture. Get you shit together before your legacy boils down to some Karen being interviewed on the news going like "He was such a nice man, I don't understand why he would do such a thing!". Jesus. Zoomers are fricking hopeless.
Yeah no shit, every decade before today and after the world wars was infinitely better than the nightmare world we inhabit today. Even the 2000s seems like a paradise by comparison.
"We"? No. With how devoted our societies are now to adhering to artificial social norms, and all the rules/laws/regulations that now ban most forms of fun that people used to enjoy, "we" as a society and culture, can never go back. The people who control our society/culture are making way too much money, and have way too much control over us, with the way things have been going.
But "You"? Yes.
Here's how, in 6 steps:
1. Get rid of social media. All of it. Yes, even this. Stop coming to Cinemaphile. It's fricking up your emotions and sense of socialization more than you realize. No one wants to casually chat about how the world is getting Zog'd, even if it's true, and even if they agree with you. Also you knowing about it still does nothing to change it. All it does is make you miserable knowing how powerless you are to fix society. Blissful ignorance was the way of the golden age. It made people happy just to get outside and say "hi" to someone.
2. Stop watching the news, ignore politics, don't vote. Get yourself away from as much trendy bullshit as possible. In fact, just avoid the internet for anything other than e-mail and shit.
3. Re-experience all that old media that was full of original ideas, and seemed to always "get it right" when it came to story elements and characters. Enjoy watching a movie again instead of feeling unfulfilled and left with a sour taste in your mouth because the director felt the need to "subvert your expecations" for the 1000th time.
4. Get your socialization from humans, in-person. Actually start trying to make small talk with strangers. Make some acquaintances beyond your coworkers/classmates/guildmates.
5. Get outside for entertainment. If you're bored, your first step should be to leave the house and go find something to do. Jump in your car and drive, or just start walking in a random direction, see what you might find.
6. This is the most impossible one - something even I haven't managed yet. Ditch the cell-phone. Yeah, smartphones are way too much these days, all we really need is the ability to- WOAH. Did I just say ditch the smartphone? No motherfricker, I said ditch the CELL phone. Being in constant contact and communication with everyone you've ever known at every second of the day no matter where you are, is not fricking natural for the human mind. If nothing else, wouldn't it just be glorious if your boss tried to call you, but only got your answering machine, because you were out enjoying a nice uninterrupted dinner with your partner, so you weren't home to answer the landline and pick up a "surprise shift" that night? Ditch the cell, get a landline.
Once you have achieved all 6 steps, you've basically made it back to the golden days.
If anyone has any other tips to live life the "good old way", please add to this.

But you'd be able to enjoy old things on the internet. And thanks to the based quarantine you'd be able to skip a couple of years from high school. Sounds like a dream.
I'm 29.
It's not about the irony, it's about the fact that nothing happens in this fricking movie, it's just moving images and loud noises that only exist to hold the attention of mindless drones, literally no different than Teletubbies but coated in a layer of pretentious "For adults" smegma.
>nothing happens in this fricking movie
Everything happens, son. Everything. >coated in a layer of pretentious "For adults" smegma
Probably the most well-written teenagers in any movie ever. But I get it, it's not really your fault. You were robbed of an actual childhood, which is why you cant appreciate it.

It literally is tough, the 80s were the peak of postmodernism prior to the 2010s, everything became vacuous, offensively anti-aesthetic and vulgar, it was in this vacuum of legitimate artistry that stuff like brutalist communist block architecture, superfluous hypersexual pop music acts and horrendous fashion proliferated the most, and "The Breakfast Club" epitomises the decadence of the era, it's essentially the perfect precursor to shit like Twilight and 50 Shades of Grey, a pointless story designed to appeal to the sensibilities of ignorant valley girls, the whole thing with the protag is that she is such a speshul quirky snowflake but nobody gets her 🙁 and for some reason the bad boy who to this point has been busy living an exciting life just goes "Hey, this frigid b***h sure seems cool!"

Sub-zero bait. Apply yourself. Unless... you actually believe the shit you're spouting, which makes this even sadder. Words cannot describe how sorry I feel for you if the only thing you see in one of the most seminal, aesthetic and soulful coming-of-age stories of the decade and what's arguably John Hughes' magnum opus, is "the decadence of the era". Wanna talk about horrendous fashion and superfluous, hypersexual pop music? Take a look at TikTok, homosexual. Wanna talk offensively anti aesthetic? Just visit an open house and marvel at the drab, black-and-white deco and grey walls. Wanna talk vulgar? Get a Netflix subscription. Wanna see what a lack of legitimate artistry looks like? Go see a Marvel movie. Read a book by someone who doesn't include their pronouns in their bio, you pretentious c**t. God, what a fricking moron.

This makes sense, she seems genuinely unstable and on the verge of tears in the last half of the movie.
