  Ha! Love that one - saw that before on the net and was like WTF????

  So,what is this obsession with teen wolf?

  It just seems to come up randomly. Plus, it was playing on cable down here like my entire college existence. It was part of a ritual. Come home from class, bake, zone out watching teen wolf. Funny thing is, we thought life couldn't be any better.

  Life was better back then. Watching that clip brought tears to my eyes. Reminded me of better days.
  
  Anyway, It seems to be more than random. Maybe you have some unhealthy attraction to Michael J. Fox or wolves.

  Actually, in recent Teen-Wolf related conversation, it's focused primarily on the stinkiness of Teen Wolf Too. For everything beautiful about the 80's in Teen Wolf (I think I was in 4th grade when I first saw that), Teen Wolf Too took the same idea and crapped all over it.
  
  I'm pretty sure I shared the awful video of Jason Bateman jumping to catch a frisbee in his mouth, right?
  
  The first 30 seconds or so of this make me want to shoot myself:

  Most sequels are not as good as the original. Did you ever see "Grandma does Dallas". Me either but you get my point.
7. 5/27/08
  
  kdawg68
  
  Agreed. Aliens might be the lone exception, for it was blockbuster awesome for it's day (not taking anything away from the original)
8. 5/27/08
  
  ekim941
  
  Sorry but you said aliens and I got excited in a very strange way

  just proves the point - I'd bang pretty much anything that looks good in heels.

  Takes away a few fantasies for me, if you know what I mean.
13. 5/27/08

  ...but you can still act out the dental fantasies.
  
  "oooohh...looks like we've found a cavity..."

  If you got giblets of steel, you go ahead.

  I think she looks a bite like Lorena Bobbitt.

  Oh heck no, my green lizard man didn't have teeth like that or a tail and he wasn't wearing latex, just roman gladiator armor.
17. 5/28/08

  They don't wear latex?
  
  Well they should, those filthy lizard gladiators, I mean they go from planet to planet!

I like Teen Wolf It's completely weird. Although ekim's horse thing is a close 2nd.

  Have you seen the nightmare of a sequel, Teen Wolf Too? Just awful. Teen Wolf actually had it's entertaining moments because it didn't take itself seriously. Teen Wolf Too was actually trying to be cool, and it didn't work.
  
  I just want to know what went on whenever whomever dreamt it up pitched the idea of Michael J. Fox as a star basketball player?
2. 5/27/08
  
  Shiley
  
  II also had Jason Bateman as the star not Micheal J. Fox.

  Jason Bateman wasn't seasoned enough as an actor yet. I think he is great now.

  Once again, for posterity, the worst 30 seconds or so of film ever captured open this clip:

  Edit: not only Bateman instead of Fox, but college boxing???
6. 5/27/08
  
  ekim941
  
  OK, ok!! I can't watch anymore of that. It's like making me watch clips like this:
  
  (And this is the best clip from the worst movie EVER)

  Jason Bateman made one seriously ugly wolf.
8. 5/27/08
  
  ekim941
  
  Is there a good looking wolf?
  
  Careful now
9. 5/27/08
  
  Shiley
  
  No, not really but I don't think I've ever seen one so, well, ugly. Bedtime I don't make sense to myself.
10. 5/27/08
  
  ekim941
  
  Jason Bateman is a little awkward looking.
  
  Michael J. Fox would have been great for Debra LaFave. They would have been a good couple
11. 5/27/08
  
  kdawg68
  
  that's a good one, Ekim, but surely no match for Hasselhoff with a Light Saber in Star Crash!
12. 5/27/08
  
  ekim941
  
  I'm just saying. Michael J fox looks like a teenager. Ya'know?
13. 5/27/08
  
  kdawg68
  
  I had forgotten who Ms. LaFave was and had to look her up. Shouldn't it be Lefebvre? When did Lefebvre become LaFave?
14. 5/27/08
  
  ekim941
  
  Debra LeFave. That wicked hot teacher that liked the teenage boys but avoided prison by being too "Pretty"

  weren't they 14? That's pretty young. Thinking back to what I thought I knew at 14. My god....you're still a child in so many ways.
16. 5/27/08
  
  ekim941
  
  Everyone is different at 14. That poor kid wasn't ready. The proof is that he told someone. He had no concept of what was going on.
  
  I was a mature 14 year old. I'm living my childhood now
  Debra makes for some good jokes but it also makes me sick that she didn't serve 5 years like a man would.

  So in essence, you're a bit like Bob Dylan's lyrics in "My back pages"
  
  "Ah, but I was so much older then, I'm younger than that now."
  
  Edit: Sorry,just had to see Teen Wolf back atop the discussions.

Coach Bobby Finstock is the greatest movie character ever. He has about 20 hilarious lines (some are even just in the background that you can barely make out)...

  that guy actually was pretty funny. The coach in the second one sucked balls.
  
  Edit: learn something new everyday, the actor that played him, Jay Tarses, apparently also co-wrote "the Great Muppet Caper" - another cinematic masterpiece of the era.

Aren't "80s classic" and "crappy teenage movie" synonyms?

[reply]

  Trying to think of a good 80's movie and I think you must be right. I can't come up w/ anything. Must be synonyms.

  I don't know.. How 'bout:
  
  Jaws
  E.T.
  Raiders of the Lost Ark
  Ghostbusters
  Close Encounters of the Third Kind

  You're right ThriftShop except Close Encounters. If I have to sit through another hill of mashed potatoes that looks like a mountain I'm gonna scream.

  perhaps, but not all could be considered crappy "werewolf" movies. Only a select few fit that genre, with the poster children being the Teen Wolf series.

  Howard the duck.

  Fine then, how about "Breakin" or even better "Breakin 2 electric boogaloo"?

  Teen Wolf? I'm pretty sure you can. If not, then certainly on crappy VHS. Probably even Beta.

I don't even know what this is. Rem Lazar or something? It probably needs it's own thread.

  No?
  
  Allow me to remind thee

  Or who could resist:
  
  "Rocco and the pouppettes" ?

  I called that when they released the "blame it on the rain" video - they totally had the voices switched up to the opposite guys you were used to. It was like "wait a minute....the other guy with big shoulders sounds like that!"
3. 5/28/08
  
  ekim941
  
  Those were shoulder pads bro. Hate to burst your bubble but I also think they had extensions. Not one thing about those guys was real
5/29/08

Jeunelle

So what, to make them give up their award was just plain heartless
and one of them ended up dying after of a broken heart and the shame it brought. People are so mean.
Rich James had extensions too and I liked most of his "Superfreak" songs.
Except for "she was only 17" which got him into a lot of trouble.
He was a real bad boy and wife abuser too and he was in court a lot.
Too bad his club 54 days are over now. "I'm dead _iatch".

  but how do you feel about Rem Lazar?
  
  I just want to say how happy I am to come home and spot the "Teen Wolf" thread alive and on page 1.
