My one issue here... and I'm trying not to be curmudgeonly here, but I for one am planning on attending an 80s themed party the night before (and I assume many of the people who will be at your place on New Year's Day will also be) and... two consecutive days of 80s themed stuff might just be an overdose. (And if you don't think it's possible... then you never really lived through the 80s.)

I'll freely admit it... I always considered the middle 80s a cultural wasteland, even at the time. Post-punk was interesting... and there was some really good stuff at the end of the decade as "alternative culture" shotgunned to the mainstream... but I found it hard to appreciate John Hughes, Culture Club and MacGyver at the time. (And MacGyver, I want to point out, was produced by the guy who created the Daleks for Doctor Who.) It's only now that I'm able to appreciate some of the cultural things... but in 1985 I was watching films from the 40s and 50s, TV shows from the 70s and music from the 60s.

There are a few rules to keep the majority happy.1 80's is just a sugesstion. 2 it a majority vote for a movie to be view. 3 there is two diffrent rooms for viewing, so if you don't like what is pick you can over start your own soveren nation and watch a diffrent movie in the other room. 4 You can play a game insteand of watching something. 5 I don't want to see Pretty in Pink eirther, I just like saying who look pretty in pink. So as of now there are two votes not to run that movie. :)

And I've seen The Breakfast Club way too many times too.

Speaking as someone who started high school in 1985...ah...well...I dunno...I don't think Sixteen Candles or St. Elmo's Fire count as great cinema...you know?

Maybe I can get my hands on a copy of American Hardcore...and drl909 and I can start a mosh pit. (I have the soundtrack...mmmm...bring on the noise!)

Well you can bring your six string and we can have a sing along. Every one sing along with fuzzy! How many songs from the 80's or pop music can you play? Can you do the Ghostbuster song?
If the movies are mob rule we may have a Doctor Who movie day. :)

I'm game. donutato_kun December 13 2006, 20:43:40 UTC

Same deal as last year. Double fisting parties. But you're off York Road, and so is the Chinese Restaurant... so I'll just duck out and come back on over.

I vote for Nightmare on Elm street =)

Elm Street blondibritecake December 15 2006, 01:54:37 UTC

I just happen to have all 7 on VHS. Now that's 80's! Well, I guess a bit 90's seeing as the last 2 are from 1991 and 1994 :>}

Sitters do not exist on New Year's eve or New Year's day. I'll miss you.
