THIS IS NOT WHAT I EXPECTED...I AM VERY MUCH ENJOYING IT THOUGH...I EXPECTED SILLY 80'S SKATING SHENANIGANS...THIS IS A REAL MOVIE...ABOUT A MURDER AND CROOKED BUSNIESS AND COVER-UPS...WITH SKATER SLATER DEAD CENTER...PRETTY COOL.
shareI watched this film a couple of times in the 90's, but didn't know the name and nobody I knew knew of the film, so it became an old memory/myth in my mind -- that I was mistaking it for another movie. It wasn't until another 10-15 years later that I found the film again.
It's still pretty rad!
THAT WAS AWESOME...I SUCK FOR HAVING MISSED THIS ONE FOR OVER 30 YEARS.
shareFor years, whenever someone had a passenger side door open my friend would say "Your right door is ajar" and a I would reply " A jar of what?"
Yeah, we were young and stupid, but it still makes me laugh.
I WOULD HAVE BEEN RIGHT THERE HAD I SEEN THIS...DEFINITELY WOULD HAVE BEEN A WATCH UNTIL I MEMORIZED IT FLICKFOR ME IN THE VHS DAYS.
shareSHIT MAYBE I WOULD ASPIRED TO BE A SKATEBOARDER LIKE BRIAN KELLY...INSTEAD OF A WISHY WASHY DREAMER WAITING FOR A MAGICAL MIRACLE LIKE JONATHAN SWITCHER.
shareAND JUST LIKE THAT...I WANT TO WATCH MANNEQUIN AGAIN.
I HATE MY BRAIN.🫤
My dvd of Mannequin was stolen during one of the times my house was broken into. I never replaced it, and I've regretted it. You now have me wanting to do check out thrift stores.
shareWE HAVE 3 ON VHS...1 ON BETA...4 ON DVD INCLUDING A COMBO PACK WITH MANNEQUIN TWO WHICH WE ALSO HAVE ON VHS...AND ALI BOUGHT ME MANNEQUIN ON BLU-RAY CHRISTMAS BEFORE LAST.
I SEE ONE...I BUT IT...CAN'T HELP IT.
SOMEWHERE OUT THERE...THERE IS A LASERDISC COPY OF MANNEQUIN PLAYING REALLY HARD TO GET WITH ME...I WILL FIND IT...AND THEN I WILL WATCH IT.
I had it on beta as well.
share"It's those jelly doughnuts. They call to me in the middle of the night: "Hollywood! Hollywood! Come and get me, Hollywood!" I can't stay away from them."
shareIT'S LIKE YOU AND WOMEN'S DRESSING ROOMS.
shareI love that movie.
shareIT WAS MY SAFE PLACE AS A KID...I WENT THERE A LOT...ABSOLUTELY DESTROYED THE HOMEMADE VHS COPY AUNT NANCY RECORDED FOR ME...AS A TEENAGER I BOUGHT A VHS AND CONTINUED ENJOYING IT...COUPLE YEARS AGO MY DAUGHTER BOUGHT ME THE BLU-RAY...SHE IS NOW A FAN OF THE FILM HERSELF...MANNEQUIN IS A PART OF ME...AND NOW A PART OF MY FAMILY....I AM ABSOLUTELY GOING TO EMBARRASS MYSELF IF I EVER RUN INTO JONATHAN SWITCHER OR HOLLYWOOD IN REAL LIFE.
shareI really like this movie. Slater at his best.
shareME TOO....I ABSOLUTELY NEED A PHYSICAL COPY NOW....THIS MOVES WAY UP THE LIST OF THINGS I AM AFTER.
shareNice combo here.
2 Movie Collection - Pump Up the Volume & Gleaming The Cube - Christian Slater Collection - DVD Set https://a.co/d/0A74cSn
Oooh. Nice. The only one I used to see when I was looking for Pump Up the Volume was with Bed of Roses. I finally found Pump at a second hand store so that made me happy. Then they finally released it on Bluray.
My friend got it signed for me at a comic con thingy, and at the time, Slater was like, I've never been able to find this on dvd.
I wonder if slater has a VHS closet like some other actors do? He had to have one after cuffs
DAMN...LISTEN TO THAT NERDY PHYSICAL MEDIA TALK...WE ARE DAMN LUCKY TO HAVE A CLASSY ASS DAME LIKE YOU HERE...NEVER LEAVE.
I USED TO LIKE BED OF ROSES...HAVE NOT SEEN IT NOR REMEMBER IT THOUGH...REWATCH TIME.
You know how I feel about physical media. One I've been looking for, but don't love enough to spend the money on a new copy is D.A.R.Y.L.
shareI DON'T HAVE THAT EITHER...I TRY TO KEEP THE COLLECTION TO FINDS IN THE WILD...LIKE 99%...I HAVE NEVER SEEN A COPY ANYWHERE.
shareI have a very strange urge to see if I can find Cool as Ice to stream. I have no idea why.
shareI NEVER SAW THAT...MY VIDEO STORES DID NOT HAVE IT...AND I HAVE NEVER CAME ACROSS A COPY....I AM INTRGUED TO SEE IT THOUGH....PRHAPS I WILL ADD IT TO MY WATCHLIST AND MAKE ALI WATCH IT WITH ME.
shareI have seen it. It's pretty bad. Like really bad. I think just watching some other movies recently from the time period it popped into my head. I honestly think that if I started watching it, I probably wouldn't finish it, but the urge is there. I found a place where it's streaming in Canada, so who knows if I'll actually subject myself to it.
shareI HAVE SEEN YOUTUBE VIDEOS COVERING IT...I NEED TO SEE IT...AND NOW SO DOES ALI!
shareYEAH IT IS...I NEED THAT...ESPECIALLY SINCE I HAVE PUMP UP THE VOLUME ON DVD...THAT WOULD FILL A GAP AND REPLACE A BATTERED SNAPPER CASE.
