awfulperson: I carried a watermelon.

I carried a watermelon??

She should do it. Probably have the time of her life.

I miss the old nose still.

I wonder how her brother's doing. I heard from my best friend's sister's boyfriend's brother's girlfriend heard from this guy who knows this kid who's going with the girl who saw Ferris pass out at 31 Flavors last night. I guess it's pretty serious. .

What the fark she do to her face?

51 years old saying "like". Why yes, I am pompous.
/loved her old nose.

farkingismybusiness: What the fark she do to her face?

Would she like someone to resurrect Patrick Swayze, especially since the first anniversary of his passing is approaching?

I like Babby, ehs is funny and doesn't afraid of nuthin

Save Ferris!

To this day, I do not recognize her from her former self, She shiuld have never cut her nose.

I think she looks just fine, she's aged, sure...but so do the best wines..:-)


/and her nose, if she wasn't happy and is now..more power to her..
//I still think she's hella cute...
/hot

/ I'd put her in a corner
// and gorilla fark her for hours
/// ok, minutes but you get the point.

I thought she was more attractive pre-nose job.

slayer199: Damn, I read that as Sasha Grey on Dancing with the Stars...until the end.

That would have made Dancing with the Stars worth watching.

Actually, Joel Grey would have made it worth watching:



You dance like baboon... with two clubbed feet!

There's something about those eyes that make me hungry.

/Like the angry fist of a deity

It's like, you know never should have been taken off the air.

Your reflexes are pitiful... The seasons move faster...

Didn't she also play the chick in Red Dawn who was raped offscreen by the Russians and then later booby trapped her own soon-to-be corpse with a hand grenade? God, what a ridiculous movie that was.



/yeah, I'd helicopter her

slayer199: dittybopper: You dance like baboon... with two clubbed feet!

ROFL. Well-played Sir.

Nice reference to Remo Williams.

For that extra juiced-in goodness, Joel Grey is actually Jennifer Grey's father.

It was much more subtle and even-handed that you give it credit for. That character, Colonel Strelnikov, argues that reprisals against civilians are wrong and counterproductive, and he is an honest and honorable soldier who cares about his men. Not quite the one dimensional "bad guy" you would expect in a film that is supposedly an unabashed "Rah, rah USA kicks ass!" kind of film.

He's also an effective soldier: The Wolverines are pretty much wiped out within a month of his arrival in the area.

She's like the wind....through my tree. I should point out that in this scenario the 'tree' is my cock.

Hardy-r-r: I thought she was more attractive pre-nose job.

Yeah, the old nose gave her a more unique look. Now she just looks...average?

/Plus she wears too much makeup. My sister wears too much. People think she's a whore.

I have it on good authority that she has a scorching case of herpes, and that she's acquired her father's firearm.

I'd let her use her whomper, if you know what I mean.

Yes but given the other hilariously warped 90% of the movie, that didn't redeem it much. Just enough to make it watchable. I think that was actually the stub of the movie the director really wanted to make.

And, as much as people in the 80's were total mongos, even they would have balked at the idea that a Soviet command made up of mindless sadistic butchers could defeat the US to the point where they occupied the Midwest.

buntz: She's like the wind....through my tree. I should point out that in this scenario the 'tree' is my cock.

Wait, I'm not sure I fully understand what you mean when you say the tree is your cock, and how is she like the wind...I'm so confused.

I also heard her brother's pretty sick. My best friend's sister's boyfriend's brother's girlfriend heard from this guy who knows this kid who's going with the girl who saw him pass out at 31 Flavors last night. I guess it's pretty serious.

eikni: I miss the old nose still.

Me too. I thought she was was cute. After the surgery, she just didn't look like herself. Honestly, I think it made her look weird.

But holy crap, 51? It doesn't feel like 20+ years since I first saw her in a film.

farkingismybusiness: What the fark she do to her face?

she did a sitcom (new window) where she played herself, one of the main characters.

Arthur Garment: You know, you look different somehow.
Jennifer Grey: Well, you see a movie ten years ago...
Arthur Garment: I saw it just recently.
Jennifer Grey: ...on a small TV screen...
Arthur Garment: This was a revival. Huge movie screen.
Jennifer Grey: ...sitting so far back...
Arthur Garment: Front row. Right up close.
Jennifer Grey: NOSE JOB!
Arthur Garment: Oh... Just one?

The Stealth Hippopotamus: no one puts baby old lady in a corner

Oh, you mean the other parts where the leader of the Wolverines is a dumb jock bully, the Cuban leader (Colonel Bella) hates what he has become and wants only to resign and to return to his wife. Or Yuri, the naive and sympathetic Soviet who gets killed by Jed. Or the unnamed Soviets who only want what all young soldiers want: A date with a pretty girl. Or perhaps you mean the part where Robert is certifiably psychopathic, to the point where he willingly kills his erstwhile friend Darryl. Or perhaps you mean the part where the only difference that Jed Eckert can find between the "bad guys" and them is "Because we live here". Or the part where Colonel Bella allows mortally wounded Matt and Jed to pass, saying "Via con Dios" and throwing down his AK in disgust. What about Colonel Tanner, who is rather dubious of what the Wolverines are doing.

The movie has much more depth and is much more subtle than people give it credit for. You have to actually engage your brain when you watch it, though, and not sit back and just enjoy the asplosiony goodness.

It's a much more even handed film than most people first assume, and way above any other "bad guys invade the USA" film.


And, as much as people in the 80's were total mongos, even they would have balked at the idea that a Soviet command made up of mindless sadistic butchers could defeat the US to the point where they occupied the Midwest.

That's just it: The movie doesn't portray the Soviets and Cubans as mindless butchers. Probably the only truly evil stereotyped communist in the whole film is General Bratchenko, ably played by the late Vladek Sheybal. Sure, Colonel Bella commits at least one major war crime (executing civilians en masse), but that's likely due to pressures from above*, and due to the fact that Bella isn't used to being an occupier, but rather as a partisan. Colonel Strelnikov, the Spetznaz commander brought in to hunt down the Wolverines, stops that policy of civilian reprisals as counterproductive.

You have to actually read the subtitles to get the whole story, you know. I know it's difficult for a lot of people, but really, you should at least *TRY*.

*Not explicitly stated in the film, but implied by Bratchenko's attitude and apparent position as Bella's superior.

Thank you, Simone.

I just watched Red Dawn, and seem to have completely missed the offscreen rape. Are you talking about it being implied when the Wolverines find her and Lea Thompson hiding under that farmer's house?

Strange, watching it now, I wasn't bothered by the violence. Nor did I find it overly jingoistic.

dittybopper:

Whoa dude, mea culpa. You make a lot of good points, I just don't agree with you on the attitude the movie took towards characters' actions (namely the Wolverines' less civilized ones which often struck me as being sold to the audience on an "ugly but needed to Preserve America" basis).

eikni: I miss the old nose still.

rillettes:

It is heavily implied, by some of Lea Thompson's dialogue.

I probably should watch this movie again. I'm not admitting it's "My Dinner with Andre" or anything, but it seems that I may have judged it too harshly in the past, due to my revulsion at the people who took it deadly seriously.

dittybopper: I love you and all, dude, but...whoa...

On the other hand, I'd love to read your treatise on "Brazil"

Gawd, if they play that song for her dance, she's gonna get so many farkkin' sympathy votes because of Patrick Swayze...
