I never noticed it before, but the last couple of times I watched the movie, there is a visible shot of the flat for the “Jesse Johnson Revue” album in Trax.

Yeah, I had been searching and searching for “Positively Lost Me” – then I stumbled on it on another blog a couple of months ago. But thanks for putting it up there…I'm sure its got a higher bit rate!

I remember owning the soundtrack before even seeing the movie – a buddy of mine brought the LP into biology class and I brought it home with me and made a cassette that night. We were big OMD fans so to see the new song was the big attraction (of course, little did we know that it would bring about the end of the real OMD). Oh, and I was always puzzled by the Jesse Johnson song…I love it, even today, but it just seemed out of place.

Does anyone else get distracted by the girl extra with the world's worst 80s mullet sitting at the table behind Andie in the prom scene? Go back and watched the scene. They are upstaged by the disturbing hair of an extra.

It's time for Hughes to come out of limbo and remake BUCK, with Culkin in the lead.

Favorite Culkin story…he and Burt Lancaster are filming ROCKET GIBRALTAR (a movie that launched several careers). Lancaster, making small talk before their first scene together, says, “Hey, kid, what can I do to help you?” Growls Culkin, “Don't step on my lines.”

my roommate just presented me with a cassette copy of the soundtrack the other day.

Never gets old. Same with the movie. John Hughes could do no wrong back then.
