Do you ever re-watch a movie you saw a million times as a kid as an adult? Suddenly you understand all of the jokes and innuendos and the movie becomes funny all over again. I have been having this experience a lot lately. The best, though, was watching Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure with my 16 year old sister. She thought it was funny because they were such idiots, and I thought it was funny because it reminded me of my students. "Caesar was a salad dressing dude!"
Did any of you ever see the movie The Last Star Fighter? I think my brother and I watched it daily for a year straight. I watched it again over spring break- HBO must have been doing a blast-from-the-past marathon because they showed that movie The Boy Who Could Fly too, the one with Fred Savage on a big wheel. Anyway, while watching The Last Star Fighter I realized how distrubed I was even now by the old alien who takes out his eyeballs and polishes them like a pair of reading glasses. Bizarro!!!
What movies do you remember? Maybe during some down-time it would be fun to pull out some of those great "B" movies and have a laugh. Oh and remember... "Be excellent to each other... and Party on Dudes!"

"Take me to a hospital; I've been blown up!"
