Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

This fight is for everything.

They fucked up the fucking up of the fuckup!

This really is a full service blog.

We cannot abandon the truth and remain a free nation.

Republicans are radicals, not conservatives.

The worst democrat is better than the best republican.

A last alliance of elves and men. also pet photos.

American History and Black History Cannot Be Separated

Wow, I can’t imagine what it was like to comment in morse code.

Never entrust democracy to any process that requires republicans to act in good faith.

We still have time to mess this up!

A snarling mass of vitriolic jackals

A sufficient plurality of insane, greedy people can tank any democratic system ever devised, apparently.

“woke” is the new caravan.

Imperialist aggressors must be defeated, or the whole world loses.

JFC, are there no editors left at that goddamn rag?

Is it negotiation when the other party actually wants to shoot the hostage?

Let there be snark.

“Can i answer the question? No you can not!”

I like you, you’re my kind of trouble.

Since when do we limit our critiques to things we could do better ourselves?

The arc of history bends toward the same old fuckery.

I’d try pessimism, but it probably wouldn’t work.

Something needs to be done about our bogus SCOTUS.

Something That Will Make You Laugh

I just got the funniest phone call from my good friend Tammy, and she was laughing hysterically when she called. You all know Tammy as mother of Samantha and Charlie, my friend for a decade plus, and the wife of my really good friend and former advisor (I introduced them- WHAT AM I, FUCKING STUPID?). At any rate, she called, and was in hysterical fits of laughter, because for the first time in her life, she had just seen 16 Candles. I was unaware of this, because for the last decade, every time she called me I would always answer “OH SEXY GIRLFRIEND,” and on nights when we had been out and had too much to drink, I would always joke “Donger needs food” when it got around 2-3 am.

So tonight, she saw 16 Candles for the first time, called, and said “OMG the last ten years are even funnier now.”

Wait til she sees Weird Science and Ferris Bueller’s Day Off.

    Hi All! 16 candles recent virgin here! I don’t know how I had never watched the brilliance of this movie before, honestly. This coming from a girl who has seen Spaceballs over 100 times. I have however seen The Breakfast Club, Weird Science and Ferris Bueller’s Day Off. This one just happened to escape me. I will say it was worth the wait and even more so now that I understand what Cole has been saying for the last 12+ years. This will forever be one of my greatest best friend moments with him! That and I have a kahhh-not… Which none of you will understand unless he chooses to elaborate. Ha!

    I’ve been greeting my wife with “Beautiful American Girlfriend” for years. Never saw Weird Science though, and I don’t know anything about it. My older daughter claims Ferris Bueller was the first movie she remembers us watching with her and it twisted her for life. I could swear she had a fairly normal childhood.

    Well, OK, maybe not normal. But I could have sworn we started her out on Disney princesses (starting with Beauty and the Beast) before exposing her to the subversive stuff.

    From the Archives
    Reflections on Jake Ryan of the John Hughes Film ‘Sixteen Candles’

    By Hank Stuever
    Washington Post Staff Writer
    Saturday, February 14, 2004

    Listen to all the Thompson Twins songs you want, but let’s finally admit that Jake Ryan from “Sixteen Candles” is never coming to get you.

    Not in the red Porsche 944, and not wearing that Fair Isle sweater vest. Not with his shiny black hair moussed gently heavenward, not with his gooey brown eyes and square Matt Dillonesque jaw. He will not be standing there with his hands in the pockets of his 501 button-fly jeans (while leaning against said Porsche), and he will not be shyly waving at you from across the street. (“Yeah, you,” he mouths, just as in the movie, after you look behind you to see what girl he could possibly be interested in.)…..

    Comedy:
    1. Weird Science
    2. Ferris
    3. Better off Dead
    4. Fletch
    5. Caddyshack (not an 80’s movie, but incredibly funny)

    Action:
    1. Aliens
    2. The Terminator
    3. Repo Man
    4. Conan
    5. Red Dawn (also a comedy)

    Breakfast Club ugh. So much manufactured & cliche teenage angst. Bad guy who smokes & wears leather is beaten regularly by his dad? Make it a good movie and have the little scrawny white kid beaten by his dad and the leather dude rebelling against his rich shitty parents. Hated that movie. Ferris B. ugh. I hated the talking to the screen, hated the over the top stuff with the car, hated everything about it.

    Weird Science, Pretty in Pink, and Sixteen Candles are my favorites. The bit in Weird Science where the kids are in a bar has some good lines. And the stuff with the sister, high on pms meds (?!) before & during her wedding has a couple of good lines from the parents.

    And Michael S. from Sixteen Candles… Sigh. He was also a GQ model at that time, and my friends & I would buy GQ mag at the beginning of the school year so that we could make up masterful locker liners. Mine had about 20 pictures of him on it.

    So did John C. do the falsetto and accent with “Oh Sexy Girlfriend?”

    gawd, iconic 80’s films…… I’d have to rate it as FBDO then 16 Candles then Some Kind of Wonderful. Not saying I didn’t enjoy Club, just some parts of it just didn’t ring as true as the other films did for me, so its in that second tier along with Pretty in Pink. Always wondered what kind of Hughes film we could have had with Cusack as the lead because he was a Hanksian everydude in the 80’s with Say Anything being his crowing achievement, with The Sure Thing being a close second.

    (I introduced them- WHAT AM I, FUCKING STUPID?)

    yes, yes you are…..

    never really cared for breakfast club or 16 candles….I preferred the oddball 80’s val kilmer movie. Real Genius and Top Secret being my favorite. I still giggle a little whenever I hear the name “Hillary”

    @patrick: I will say that Real Genius is an incredible piece of work, anytime you can bring Bill Atherton on as your villian, it’s almost always bound to please. Can’t say this enough, the quality of your conflict and drama of good versus evil is in direct proportion to how outstanding your villian is. Bill Atherton as your comedic villian is simply wonderful, when you think of how rewarding it is to see him get his comeuppance in Real Genius, Die Hard, Ghostbusters… just great stuff.

    Ah, Sixteen Candles. That was the movie to see back in 7th grade; it was released just before we started 7th grade, but then we all got cable and saw it on HBO or Showtime.
