"I’m sorry, but Lost Boys is the only expert movie on vampires"

I dunno, let's check in with the Alarm here:

kinda looks like they based the look of their gang on a mutual love of Winger

At least movie gave the world this:

I always wondered why Shawn Michaels thought that look was good enough to adopt for his singles career

always surprised when this pops up in that Tim Roth 'pot' story monologue in Reservoir Dogs.

I never noticed this!

He has the wrong year. He's talking about the great marijuana drought of 86, but Lost Boys came out in summer of 87.

it was a really long drought

that discrepancy should have been how they found out he was a cop

Urgent and key

boy oh boy, time has not been kind to this film ... not that it was ever anything more than a good hoot, but eesh it's kind of embarrassing to admit that i liked this so much when i was a teenager.

Wrong btw

Watched this with friends last weekend. Fun on so many levels, and it looks gorgeous.

I'm sorry that back in 2011 I tried to force a conversation about Lost Boys 3 that nobody was ready to have.

xp it looks incredible

I retract my apology from 2016, Lost Boys 3 is elegiac and wonderful.

i saw this for the first time a few months ago. the original, not lost boys 3. it’s incredible

I watched the original a couple of times around when it came out. Mostly I remember it being very sweaty.

I could never understand Jaime Gertz's career.

interestingly, her and Jason Patric were in Solarbabies together, which is one of two post-apocalyptic roller-skating movies of the era... the other being Prayer of the Rollerboys, starring Corey Haim!

Oiled-up saxophone dude is apparently a touring artist. I kind of regret not going to see a show he played locally.

In the Lost Boys commentary Schumacher says at the time the movie was made, he was touring with Tina Turner!

The last episode of Reservation Dogs s2 has a very poignant cameo ^^^

I saw this movie probably a dozen times on cable back in the late 80s-early 90s, and from that time until today I had forgotten about oiled-up saxophone dude.

Two of my childhood friends got him to record a Cameo video for their anniversary.

It was rambling and weird but I am sure it was worth every penny.

Does he hold a sax? He does. Does he wear a chain? He does. Does he wear a shirt? No, he does not.

Epic.

But was he oiled up?

somebody in the terrible ideas thread had this brilliant idea for a robot lost boys adaptation or something? where like there are sentient androids trying to destroy humanity, but the vampires need humanity for snacks, so it was this secret war of our oldest predator vs. our newest existential threat and it sounded great, honestly

cyberpunk remake of The Lost Boys titled The Lost Bots.

apparently i made up 95% of my previous post

I think we need to take a moment to recognize the greatness of the title of this thread.

it is indisputable for sure. the film is the perfect distillation of all previous vampire media and the wellspring of all subsequent vampire media. the great vampire media nexus.

i mean i don’t think i’ve ever watched it all the way thru but from the parts i remember seeing on tv ~25 years ago, i assume that’s what it is

i am still sometimes reluctant to dig into fried rice

It is certainly the distillation of young male actors of the 80s.

a most delicious distillation

i’m assuming

Pretty safe assumption.

I hear this thread title in Gregg Turkington’s voice.

On BBC1 right now.

Maybe I have said this but some friends of mine got a Cameo video from the oily sax player as an anniversary present to themselves

Oh, upon scrolling I see that I in fact did say this. Sorry, carry on

Off-topic: For my last birthday, my wife paid Lisa Loeb to sing "Happy Birthday" to me while wearing chunky glasses. It is pretty much my best memory of an utterly horrible year.

This world has many problems but Cameo seems like a bright spot in the darkness.

does anyone know any other expert movies?

My Cousin Vinny is the expert movie on lawyers.
