There aren't very many movies where you can say a line and have people around you break out into song to finish it, but if you watch the movies I watch, and have friends like mine, you will know that tonight's Drive-In movie is one of those. Without further ado, I give you...


SISTER ACT 2!!!!!

That's right, one of THE best movies of all time, SA2 could be the face of this generation of african-americans. I've never met anybody with extra melanine who has not seen it. It birthed the career of the legendary Lauryn Hill, and established Whoopi Goldberg as one of the greatest female comedians ever. There are so many highlights in this movie from, the "cold beans and collard greens", "this is a birdcourse", and "the old music room" scenes, to that now infamous final dance number to "joyful, joyful". This movie is classsssic and one that will definitely earn a guy cool points if he has it in his collection...which reminds me, who's up for a SA2 movie night?
There are soooo many quotes from this movie that I could use but I won't simply because I want you to add your favorite ones! Mine is the last line of the movie...

"My dear Amahl, I am not now, nor have I ever been, a 'Las. Vegas. Showgirl.'

I......am a headliner!

Now waaaaaait a minute!
Ciao, Sal

and i said what about

breakfast at tiffany's?
better yet...the library.

airwaves: dont you (forget about me) - tears for fears

"dont dont dont dont you...forget about meee"

(fist pump at the end)

so i got QUITE A FEW COMPLAINTS about last weeks Drive in movie, so since this blog is for the people, i decided to give the people what they want. The masses have spoken and...BREAKFAST CLUB IT IS!!!!

i know this movie has been done every which way but i mean come on, its a CLASSIC. Out of all the members, the basket case that was Allison continues to be my favorite. She reminds me so much of how i wanted to be in highschool, cool, a loner, and a delinquent, however i was actually more like Claire..without the whole stuck up thought process. everything about this movie was so reminiscent of how i felt about highschool in a sense that it was prison..but i managed to have fun while i was in there. im not gonna get too deep into the metaphors but either way this movie was a CLASSIC, i wish John Hughes would start making flicks like this again..for more information on the BC..click HERE

here are the last lines....just for nostalgias sake:)

Brian: Dear Mr. Vernon, we accept the fact that we had to sacrifice a whole Saturday in detention for whatever it was we did wrong. But we think you're crazy to make an essay telling you who we think we are. You see us as you want to see us... In the simplest terms, in the most convenient definitions. But what we found out is that each one of us is a brain...
Andy: ...and an athlete...
Allison: ...and a basket case...
Claire: ...a princess...
Bender: ...and a criminal...
Brian: Does that answer your question?... Sincerely yours, the Breakfast Club.

Here's To YOU fellow Breakfast Clubbers!

ciao, sal.

some of the best movies

were created in the eighties.


airwaves: baile funk #3 -m.i.a. and diplo -piracy funds terrorism vol #1
(i wish i could tell you what old girl was saying but...she was speaking portuguese)


If you haven't been to my house (or apartment when i was an atlien) then you don't know the extensiveness that is my DVD collection, ESPECIALLY the 80s portion of it, i love the late 80s, early 90s cult classics and still watch them on a regular basis, so while i was watching a golden oldie(The Wiz) THINKING about golden oldies.. i came up with the concept for a segment called "DRIVE IN". Drive In movies were so popular back in the day that i figured I'd do a weekly "Drive In" every friday but instead of doing a movie review on new releases...I'm doing it on the old CLASSICS. Get it? These are all movies that inspired my personal style, musical tastes, and even my way of thinking, even going back to some of my favorite black and white films. Since this is the first week I'm going to do one today and another on friday and then it'll continue there on the weekly basis. Tonight's film is: Pretty In Pink.

Pretty in Pink has played such a major role in my own personal beliefs, the battle between the richies in the riches and the...unrichies? is stillll going on and im ready for that mess to be over. im not going to go into TOO much detail about this movie because if you havent seen it then..you dont deserve to live(kidding) but it reaaally is the bomb.com, especially Duckie's character and his Otis Redding impersonation(you know that made me happy) so go see it, id like to do a longer post but i have sooo much to do today so sorry this one is kinna crappy but...you know ill be back!

ciao, sal.
