Anyway I just found it by googling "movie where students terrorize a teacher and his wife"
Class of 1984. I believe that was it. It rings a lot of bells. The whole gang aspect was kind of embedded vaguely in my memory too. I guess Roddy McDowall was in it, huh?
For today's Quarantine Matinee, we have Escape From New York, which I somehow never saw.
I admire an hour-and-a-half action flick where the first 25 minutes are all exposition and Kurt Russell acting like a surly teen stepson.
To Lee van Cleef, no less.
bump:
And now, not 24 hours later, we have Trump blathering about quarantining NYC (because Florida refuses to get its shit together but somehow it's NY's fault because he doesn't like Cuomo) and what the shit is this

florida put a 14 day quarentine on anyone arriving from new york a few days ago because new yorkers were fleeing here in record numbers

of course people are idiots, but it's on the government to close the beaches and tell the idiots to fuck off and stay home
"the beach isn't closed so I can go to it!" is incredibly shitty thinking
this has been horribly handled by the administration and desantis but good god personal responsibility is not somehow absolved because of that
well, yeah
but there are always going to be idiots, it's the governments job at a time like this to make dangerous idiocy costly enough that most of the idiots have second thoughts
Our premier had a press conference a week ago where he basically called people idiots in an official capacity and announced that ignoring social distancing directives was now punishable by a $1000 fine/day for individual idiots and $7500/day for idiot companies

acting looks real hard, I'm glad I don't feel compelled to do that
Watching an actor do an intimate and/or emotionally difficult scene is so weird. Because they go from small chat with crew to An Emotion in literally seconds. And there are dozens of people around watching.
And then they have to do the scene, like, twenty fucking times.
It's not the way it looks in movies about making movies, where people work for the perfect take and then move on. Because the scene needs coverage for the edit. Different angles, different shots, reactions from other characters in the scene. So they have to do this intimate and/or emotionally difficult thing, over and over and over.
dolph lundgren's character in showdown in little tokyo is what every nerdlinger who bought a comicon katana wishes they were
i adore this movie
it got shang tsung with a full body yakuza tat
It’s the most incredibly late 80s early 90s movie ever. It embodies the vibe so perfectly. Its a perfect amalgam. I love how the entire movie is just generic 80s action/tough guy scenes connected by the absolute thinnest of threads
The movie is completely uninterested in anything that isn’t the cool guys doing cool shit

acting is easy, it's just talking and moving around, I do that every day
Krzysztof Penderecki, probably most famous for his atonal compositions used in horror movies like The Shining and The Exorcist, has died at 86.
What a fucking loss. He was such an innovative and brave composer, especially given the circumstances of his early life. And despite falling out of fashion, his later work is often extraordinary.
I’m gonna listen to this and freak out for a bit. I’d recommend it.

because new yorkers are fucking assholes and have no problem infecting other people so they can escape their state?
those are all tourists my dude
also, most beaches have been closed for at least a week
Checked their licenses, eh?
Assholes are everywhere, we don’t need to damn New Yorkers for the bad behavior everyone is exhibiting in every state.
"People from New York caused the outbreak in Florida" is the current conservative talking point for why Florida's having an outbreak (despite leaving all beaches and businesses open), so it's probably bullshit.

Hot Rod is a great movie.
florida put a 14 day quarentine on anyone arriving from new york a few days ago because new yorkers were fleeing here in record numbers
and why is that, I wonder

But fine. New Yorkers are assholes, and also your Governor is literally the mayor from Jaws.
(there, I brought it back to movies.)
