A blast from the past...

Name that 1983 film...

Clue: Riley's english class read the book and then watched the movie today. Her thoughts on the film - "old, but classic."

Me: Riley, which guy is cute to you?

Riley: None of them.

Me: What???? (choke, choke) You've got to be kidding!!!

Riley: Okay, a few of them were cute.

Me: Which ones?

Riley: That guy, that guy, and that dude.

Me: Oh - that's Emilo Estevez, Matt Dillon, and Tom Cruise. Yeah, I agree. But Rob Lowe is cute, too.

Riley: No, he was weird in the movie. And the dude from Karate Kid creeps me out.

Me: Me, too.

This is what we call "The Generation Gap" for sure !

I remember watching a Robert Redford movie (swoon) and Shauna coming into the family room and saying "Whose that guy with the moles ?"

It probably doesn't help that any of these actors are now old enough to be her own Dad! I always thought the Karate Kid was creepy too. I don't even know what his real name is, only know him as "Daniel-SAN". Ha ha!

I love Ian's quote for the day today! What a little sweetheart!

It's the Outsiders and was directed by Francis Ford Coppola who also directed The Godfather trilogy.

The funny thing about all those actors is where they are now, you know? I mean, Patrick Swayze is in his 50s and has cancer. Tom Cruise is Mr. Crazy Scientology Guy. Ralph Macchio (Karate Kid) works at an In and Out Burger in Bakersfield, CA. Who knew?

Leave it to Mark to give us some pop culture info! :)

Do you notice in the picture how Tom Cruise and Emilio Estevez are putting their hands under their "arm meat" and pushing up their skin to look like muscles?? Kinda funny.
