Well, okay. But I know a number of women who sat through this whole confused mess just to see Sting in metallic underwear. The female version of Leia in a metal bikini I s'pose.
Well done. This was the third Sean Young movie I saw back in the day. She was best in Bladerunner and a relief from all the ugly people in Dune. As you undoubtedly know, the Dune remake is twenty times longer than the original; I read the book in less time than it takes to wade through that movie. Also, no Sean Young. I mean, they recreated her for the Bladerunner sequel, why not in Dune Redux?
See, this is one of the great mondegreens of the 1980s.
What she actually says is "So tell me what you want, what you really really want," which inspired a whole girl power movement fifteen years later, which even took on the Spice trope just to nail the comparison down more easily
Back in the day, I sat through more arguments among nerdy frat boys over this film than I care to think about. Ugh. Thanks, Scott, for recapping it - I never saw it, thank goodness.

My then wife made me rewind the tape four times. She swore she saw pubes, but it turned out it was just Linda Hunt ambling through the scene
And the Steve Bannon/Baron Karkonen jokes will never get old.

I just figured she'd rather her name be kept out of this. But I made it up to Ms. Madsen by watching her in THE HOT SPOT again.

You'll be very jealous to hear that Ms Young is a neighbor of mine in the fine NYC neighborhood of Astoria.
Only one question: Why, dear God? Why?
Because 13 year old boys exist.
Of course. But do they all work as studio execs? :)
Kidding. Of course. Maybe. :-D
did you know that there's an extended version of this directed by Alan Smithee?
No
and
WHAT?

As Paul realizes, the Worm is the Spice Girls.
<<See, the worms are attracted to rhythm, and so most white folks are safe. >>
Until this moment, I was thinking, "He's deliberately avoiding the Ellis Weiner comparison," but now I see you went for the Richard Pryor model.
Nice sand wedge, sir! *polite golf clap*
Martini?
Yes, thanks. Make it dirty.
