"Let's say the average person uses 10% of their brain. You use 1.5%; the rest is clogged with malted hops and bong resin"

Lying around being jet-lagged all day yesterday, I was looking around on the teevee for just about anything to focus on, and came across some early- 80's "film" called The Outsiders. With Patrick Swayze and several teen "actors" who may or may not be stars these days (I really don't keep up with movies at all).

Teenage hoodlums do wrong, do right, smoke a lot of cigarettes, rumble, and not much else. This was as large a pile of steaming crap as I have sat through in a long, long time. Not an actor worthy of the title in the whole cast. And when the credits rolled (FINALLY), Francis Ford Coppola's name was associated with it- I was aghast. Bet that's one he'd love to have back.

I've actually wanted to see that one. It's based on some "classic" teen novel and you're right; there's a ton of future "names" in it. Didja catch Tom Waits??

I have a pretty cool memory attached to The Outsiders.Several months before its release,I was at a Budfest at the Rose Bowl,and Stevie Wonder was the last artist to perform.He tells us he just wrote a new song for The Outsiders called Stay Gold.He played it,which was a very pretty song,and asked our opinions.He got tremendous cheers,of course.

Didn't see Waits. He must have done a quick walk-through while I was puking in the toilet. Has Swayze ever made a movie that didn't really suck?

The only one I can think of is Donnie Darko,and he played a child pornographer in that one.

It was a follow-up to Coppola's "Rumblefish" (another S.E. Hinton novel based in Tulsa). Rumblefish was MUCH better (good soundtrack, too).

Not to my knowledge.

"Wall-E" with my little sister...I actually liked it, and I'm usually not one to get sucked up in that cutsie pixar crap.

Before that was "Once Upon a in the West" which is one of my favorites as well where my user name/avatar come from (if you didnt know

)

Great movie! I must admit, I've always had a thing for Claudia Cardinale after seeing her in this movie.
