Diner

Remember how great the 50s were? Everybody believed in true American values and the whole nation was in wonderful shape and there were no problems. Ha ha, just kidding, the 50s were full of social strife and the seeds of our disastrous military-economic complex were first planted, so we can basically blame the 50s for all our problems thanks assholes. But I guess there is a movie law that says if a movie takes place in the 50s it has to be wistful and make the 50s seem like a great time for all, and Diner is no different. Basically it is American Graffiti with more uses of the word "fuck" and more people sticking their genitals into popcorn boxes. I guess it's fun but it took me three weeks to watch it so I wasn't exactly enraptured, but if you want to see a young cast of hotshots including Kevin Bacon (duh), Paul Reiser (no), Daniel Stern (CHUD), Steve Guttenberg (why), and Mickey Rourke (who), then this might be your movie.

RATING: 57%

I thought I was the only one who did that.

Did what? Take three weeks to watch a movie or film all your movies that take place in the 50s with a large does of nostalgia?

NBL, I take back everything nice I ever said about you. I'm also deleting that comment not because it spoils the game, but rather because it's annoying.

DCP said...

Oh, yeah, popcorn. I find it works best with kettle corn. You know, because of the sugar.

Nothing beat the original with Elizabeth Montgomery. Just wiggle your nose and the house is cleaned! If only.

I know if I could do anything I wanted with my witchly powers, I would definitely sit around my suburban home all day magically cleaning the place while waiting on my moderately attractive husband to come home from work.

You never know, Laurie. Darren might have been dynamite in the sack.

LoCo said...

Darren died. Then there was magically a new one. They were both named Dick?

Yep. Remember the conversation from Wayne's World?
"Wait a minute! Dick Sergeant... Dick York... Sergeant York!"
