  1. #Iwatched
    - #TradingPlaces (1983) good comedy fun with #DanAykroyd, #EddieMurphy. contains gratuitous boobs :awesome: and some dated gay jokes :lost:
    - #StElmosFire (1985) the #bratpack movie and #Friends precursor suffers from shallow script, unlikable characters and sirupy score :fpalm:
    - #TheGirlWithTheDragonTattoo (2011) upright journalist and magical hacker girl hunt down rich antisemitic ripper. too many characters and repulsive rape scenes included :drake_no:

  2. #Iwatched Brats (2024) a documentary by #AndrewMcCarthy in which he interviews other members of the #bratpack about the impact this label had on their careers and lives. It originally came from a scathing magazine article about these young actors, who didn't have much in common until then. This is all wholly uninteresting if you don't know who the bratpack was. But if you were young in the 80s, you probably want to see this.

  3. Just watched the #BratPack movie on #Hulu. I'd forgotten how self absorbed this cohort of movie stars was, that 40 years later, from their Beverly Hills mansions and costal estates, they still feel entitled to whine about how anyone could have ever been so mean as to call them #brats.
