Classic 80s Movie; "Better Off Dead"

I havent watched this movie since I was 10 years old, and oh man its been way too long. This is easily John Cusack's best movie. As far as Im concerned, we can forget about him being every emo guy's hero and running around in disaster movies. This movie is where its at, the surreal humor and visual gags in this movie are brilliant. They dont make em like this any more, and as far as the dialogue...the closest you can find nowdays is Jennifer's Body, or whatever else smokin hot Diablo Cody can muster up. I cant think of any other movie's I liked John Cusack in besides Sixteen Candles, another 80s classic.

There may be spoilers ahead

In this movie, John Cusack pretty much has everything I want.

1. A French girlfriend

2. A black classic musclecar (Camaro)

3. The ability to play a Saxaphone

KAT DENNINGS, were you plucked from my dreams and into this world?

Im not just creeping this time.
Im recently being reminded of her wonderful existence thanks to her being in the upcoming Thor movie, which I am excited for...funny fact, the bad guy from that movie "Pirate Radio" is the director of it.

Dexter Season 4: Meh

Dexter on Showtime.
Since its apparent departure from production quality (since about season 2 ended), coincidentally about the same time the show stopped using its source material, the "dark passenger" books or whatever (still funny when Dexter mentions 'the dark passenger' on the show, let out a little giggle). The show lost its cinematic scope, the arc had swayed and the noir seemed like a gag. The acting got worse, with David Zayas (detective/sergeant/blahblah Angel Batista) being the worst of all...It even felt like Michael C. Hall was phonin it in after season 2...

Jennifer Carpenter is on and off as far as her acting and plays a somewhat obnoxious character who loves to drop F-bombs. Shes also on and off with her hotness, what gives?

The show is still kicking into season 4 despite Jimmy Smits unnecessary "star" addition to the cast for season 3 . I have to give praise where its due, the guy who plays Vince Masuka (C.S. Lee) NAILS it, this guy is entirely convincing and never gives a cringing performance as the perverted forensic analyst (ha ha) Hes given his A game since Season 1 and is goin strong...I especially liked the gag shot of him dropping Dexter off at home in his monster truck listening to his country music, there is no vehicle that would suit Vince Masuka more...why doesnt this guy have his own show?

Put your hands together for C.S. Lee!

There are many reasons to stop watching this show, Ive listed a few & not to mention the completely unstimulating and kinda gross romantic subplot in season 4 between Batista and La Guerta. Ewwwww its like watching your parents flirt.

David Zayas, Thanks for nothing Buddy.

I guess at this point, even if the show has jumped the shark (or nuked the fridge)...I still havent stopped watching, if only for the clever lines of dialogue...and I only mean when you can hear what Dexter is actually thinking. Thats your saving grace buddy, if you lose that, Im out.

JENNIFERS BODY

O.K.
I actually liked Jennifer's Body, because Im so used to stupid 80's horror movies. I liked the dialogue and cheesy-ness of it.
Best of all, I didnt expect much, and my interest in the movie is not biased because Im not attracted to Megan Fox, I concede she may have nice legs but shes not my type...On the other hand, Amanda Seyfried was a Babe. Who knew??? And I dont even remember her from Mean Girls...maybe I was too busy shwingin @ the Lohan


But in the tradition of cheesy horror movies, this movie excels, thanks to Diablo Cody's awesomely inappropriate dialogue. Its obvious they were goin for the 'cult favorite' appeal, ala Fright Night & My Best Friend's a Vampire (the latter being a masterpiece) but Im still happy with the results. And by the way, Diablo Cody? Shwingggg

Olivia Thirlby

Can you stop being Jason Shwartzman's pretend girlfriend and be MY pretend girlfriend? thanks
I just remembered you were in Juno, and I only know you from being the sweet chick from Bored to Death...

WOMAN SO FAIR#

THANK YOU

SYMPATHY FOR ME? YOU SHOULDNT HAVE GUYS!

:)

and oh BRIAN JONES, they were never the same without you...without you there would be no "UNDER MY THUMB" or "PAINT IT BLACK"
or the other tracks you added your multi-instrumental touches to.

George Harrison said you're a good guy, Jim Morrison wrote a song about you and thats gooooood enough for me. Jimi Hendrix wanted to make music with you? Go figure!

That MOVIE they did about you was interesting, but OHHHH I dont think it did the time period/you/ROLLING STONES justice, but who needs justice right? Certainly not you, whom was the founder/leader of the greatest rocknroll band of all time (of all time)
