High school movies, @sluggodoug.bsky.social? This is a hard one because there were so many good ones, but here goes my list.
Fast Times at Ridgemont High
Ferris Beuller's Day Off
Heathers
Dead Poets Society
Footloose
Just One of the Guys
And, of course, Better Off Dead.

@sluggodoug.bsky.social, I'm loving the 80s cult films, and I'm not sure this one has ever made it as a movie ASS-ignment before. Nothing says fun like Roddy Piper! We could even double feature it with "They Live"!

Yo, @sluggodoug.bsky.social! You asked for our 1st Wave tuner-uppers, so here you go.
Siouxie & The Banshees - Happy House
Romeo Void- Never Say Never
New Order - True Faith
The Clash - Know Your Rights
Talking Heads - Nothing But Flowers
Anything from The Cult

"I just want to say that being chosen as this month's Miss August is, like, a compliment that I'll remember for as long as I can. Right now I'm a freshman in my fourth year at UCLA,
but, my goal is to become a veterinarian 'cause I really love children!"
@sluggodoug.bsky.social -ASSignment complete!

80s movie ASSignment complete @sluggodoug.bsky.social . Dune (1984), and then Eraserhead, celebrating the works of David Lynch.

Hey, @sluggodoug.bsky.social. Thanks for helping to get me through the vast majority of my work day every week, but could you do me a solid? I'd love to hear "Method to My Madness" by The Lords of the New Church one day.

Going for extra credit!

@sluggodoug.bsky.social Getting that first 80s movie ASSignment done.

@sluggodoug.bsky.social The 80s Movie ASS-ignment for the end of 2024 is complete. The entire series of The Young Ones is watched with "Bomb", "Bambi", and "Boring" watched a couple of times each. Also threw in "The Dangerous Brothers Present World of Danger", and "Bad News" for extra credit.

Hey @sluggodoug.bsky.social! Just heard you asking about 2025 80s movie assignments. I'd like to submit my requests, if I could be so bold.
1. Earth Girls Are Easy
2. Big Trouble in Little China
3. Repo Man
4. Uncle Buck

Hey @sluggodoug.bsky.social! Happy Rex Manning Day!

Is it just me, or does a spring cold just kick the crap out of you harder than a winter cold?

"Fantasy is escapist, and that is its glory. If a soldier is imprisioned by the enemy, don't we consider it his duty to escape?. . .If we value the freedom of mind and soul, if we're partisans of liberty, then it's our plain duty to escape, and to take as many people with us as we can!" -JRR Tolkien

"Nothing travels faster than the speed of light, with the possible exception of bad news, which obeys its own special laws."
