Really, what 80s movie isn’t some level of gay?  Top Gun anyone?  Trust the writers of Cracked to compile the 5 Most Unintentionally Gay Horror Movies of all time.  While not all of the movies on the list are from the 80s, you can trust the Cracked team members to slap TLB right at the top of that list.  And they don’t just focus on Sam’s rather odd Rob Lowe addition in his room.  That’s just a scratch on the surface.  The saxophone guy from the concert is thoroughly mocked and the entire cast is pegged as dressing like WHAM!

I mean, Marko does walk around in chaps and a belly shirt, Paul’s got some mesh going on and Sam looks like he was raped by a gay man’s closet.  For a decade that was pretty creeped out by homosexuality, it sure permeated the society like fungus at a Phish concert.

So what do you think?  After reading the article, is The Lost Boys unintentionally gay?  Maybe a smidge?

The Lost Boys is a cult classic that really shouldn’t be screwed with.  If Hollywood insists on doing so, it should be done in a manner befitting the original, like involving original director Joel Schumacher in the process.  Instead Hollywood says eff you to the world and makes the cinematic abortion known as The Tripe, I mean Tribe.  My dog has created piles of shit better than this “movie.”

Because the reaction to The Tripe was so overwhelmingly negative, Hollywood adopted someone form of brain cells and, when tackling the third installment of The Lost Boys franchise (horrible in and of itself), they listened to the fans a little and fired up their selective memory.  The Tripe?  What is this tripe you speak of?  Enter The Thirst which provided what the fans were originally screaming for, Frog brothers (that’s plural).  The movie wasn’t a total shit bomb and the Frog brother scenes were worth watching, much more than what The Tripe can boast.  But did it come close to the original?  Of course not.  But that’s to be expected.

Now there are rumors of not only a fourth movie but a TV show to boot.  For serious now, when will this end?  And why does Hollywood seem to have carved out it’s creativity in the last few years?  With remakes for Fright Night, Red Dawn, Footloose, Dirty Dancing (sequel) and Back to the Future churning out, not to mention all those movies based on books coming out, has Hollywood officially outsourced it’s imagination?

The movies just need to stop.  Enough is enough.  But a TV show?  More than 20 years after the release of the original?  Will it be live action a la Vampire Diaries or a cartoon?  Dear god, let not the pilot live.

I’ve had the first few chapters of Dwayne’s story written for a while now and since I just cranked out chapters to my other non-LB fics, I figured I’d throw this one up there as well.  The Histories series is underway!  It’s linked in the right sidebar like all the rest and it begins with Dwayne.  The series itself isn’t sequential.  Dwayne is actually the third guy to join the group but his story came first to me.  So here it is.  I hope you like it!  I don’t know how many people are going to jive with my idea of his life but hopefully people like it anyway.
