Did you you grow up in the 80's like me?
The 80's as miserable as they were for me were also some of the best times.
Why you ask?
This was a period of time where I was very sexually curious. But at the same time very awkward and I was quite the nerd. The movies of our generation, along with the actors in it where way different than they are now.
I could relate to alot of the characters in these movies, because I felt just like them.
In some respects the movies today will show you more 'sex appeal' but the movies of the 80's got down and dirty. Just my opinion but you know.
Glenn Close in "Fatal Attraction". Directed by Adrian Lyne. God damn.. that love scene between her and Micheal Douglas in the kitchen sink. If that didn't just want to make you go and rub one out. Kinda like this...
Your welcome!
I've always loved the movie "Night Of The Comet" starring Catherine Mary Stewart.
She was fucking delicious in this movie. I was very attracted to her. She did things to me that only one dreams about. Again, in the 80's things weren't as accepted as they are now. More people welcome it now... but that I mean homosexuality or bisexuality. When I was a kid you would have got your ass kicked.
But in this shot Jade is getting her 'ass kicked' so to speak.
If I could have bent Cahterine over like Jade Houston, when I introduced her to her first strap on scene, that would have been something.
I was also a big fan of "The Legend Of Billie Jean" starring Helen Slater.
Although I think she was the intended eye candy of the movie. Now, I have nothing against Helen, I think she has her moments. And well, I haven\t gotten a paycheck as large as one of hers I'm sure. So who am I to talk. Anyway... this was my eye candy.
Keith Gordon. I like geeks and nerds, what can I say? Keith also looked pretty good in "Back To School". He wasn't your typical leading male, but he still was a hot piece of ass to me.
I also was a big fan of Christian Slater. (No relation to Helen if you need proof -
http://www.nndb.com/people/936/000025861/http://www.nndb.com/people/936/000025861/) I discovered Slater when he starred in "Legend of Billie Jean" and "Heathers"
He had that certain 'rough side' I liked. Sorta of bad boy meets his geekdom. But was still a bad ass.
I believe I have seen just about every Christian Slater movie. I had a real thing for him.
In that era we also had some other very talented and hot up and new comers.
And then there was...
That's right, none other than Jem. She even had her own series on day time television. "Jem And The Holograms". It was truly outrageous. I always wanted her pink hair. By day Jem was "Jerrica", a very down to earth geeky girl. And just like super girl with the help of her trusted hologram friend "Synergy" she would transform into Jem.
Yep, as a pre teen wanting to be a rock star, she was my girl.
My childhood was sort of a puzzle to me. Speaking of puzzles who had one of these?
Rubik's Cube. I can't remember anyone who didn't. This was how pre teens and teenagers passed the time. We didn't have Nintendo, WII, or Play Stations.
I don't know if there are still competition's with the Rubik. There were all kinds of contests for it as well. I remember once my brother got so frustrated he just took the stickers off the Rubik and put it back to it's original packaging form..... lol
I let you figure this puzzle out. What do you think I'm doing there?
Best Bad Ass EVER! That's right Connor McCloud of the Clan McClud. I loved Highlander. It was the mid 80's at this point. It was in the days when you only had one television set in your house. Unless course if you were rich. BUT anyway, my twin brother decided he was taking control of the tele. I wasn't happy about it, well because he is an ultra geek. But then... I saw him.
Can't even begin to tell you it made me feel something like this.
An O face!
Also in that movie was Sean Connery. Now, I didn't think to much of his looks till he got to...
Circa 1992 "Medicine Man". He played Dr. Campbell. I liked this movie alot. Sometimes if you are with me, and we are going down hill. You will hear me say, "Down Hill ... Yeah!" It's a quote from the movie. You'd have to have seen it to know what I'm referring too. But generally most think I'm just crazy.. lol It's like a compulsion. I can't help it.
Just like my compulsion to do this...
The 80's also has some awesome music.
I had a crush on Martha Davis.
If you don't know who she is. She was in a group called, "The Motels". She had a song out then called "Only The Lonely".
I crushed on her hard. I thought she was sexy in this video. I was a pre teen then. I remember this is when I started thinking about girls.
Which has lead me to this.
I could go on and on.
But I'll let you get a start on your 4 day weekend. Play Hard and Play Safe!
