You know you're too involved in fan fiction when...

Yesterday The Lost Boys was on the Scifi Channel, and one of the first things that popped into my head was 'oh, you could so write a slash story about David and Michael'.

I loved that movie when it came out, and I'm not usually one for the scary. But there was enough humour in the thing to make the icky bits bearable. And the icky bits were relatively few and far between. The movie tagline was 'Sleep all day, party all night. Never grow old. Never die. It's fun to be a vampire.' I had the poster in my dorm room. I also had the soundtrack album. It was rockin'.

I need to get it on DVD so I can watch it again without things bleeped out and stuff. It was amusing how dated the hair styles were. 1987 and big hair and mullets were all the rage, even for vampires.

Now Jamie Gertz, who was the Mysterious Girl, plays a mother on a mediocre sitcom. The guy who played Max is now Rory Gilmore's granddad, and David, the uber cool vampire now plays a CIA agent. Marco, one of the vampires went on to be Bill S. Preston Esquire, and then faded from sight. Jason Patrick - he did a few things, including the Speed 2 thing, but that's it, I think.

There must be Lost Boy icons somewhere. *wanders off to look*

I loved that movie. A big lot.

That movie has a LOT of slash written about it. I've never actually read any, but I've seen it mentioned a lot. And there's a Smallville story where Clark and Lex keep up a running commentary on the gayness of it.

I saw that movie at a Halloween slumber party in middle school, back to back with Arachnophobia. I don't think I managed to go to sleep that night.

I LOOOOOVE that movie. To this day, even with all the cheesy 80s hair and SAXAPHONE and the freakin' Coreys, it still scares the bejeezus out of me.
I always think about The Lost Boys whenever I surf past that ridiculous Jamie Gertz show on CBS and how hot she was back in the day and how not she is now.

Was The Lost Boys before Bill and Ted? I always thought it was after. But yeah, you can't take Bill S. Preston all that seriously as a vampire.

The maggots/rice worms/noodles scene still makes me ill.

It's sad that Jason Patric kinda faded out. He was SOOOOO hot back then.

The Lost Boys! That's such a classic vampires film, second only to Buffy in my book.
(And of course Bill & Ted is a cult movie)

I suppose I was older or just in another generation. I always thought there was attraction between Michael and David

I so totally wanted Jamie Gertz's hair from that movie. Scary thing was, I had it because I had TEH BIG!11 hair.

Jason Patric was also in Geronimo and The Alamo.*

Oh how I loved that movie when it came out. And the soundtrack too. Rory's grandfather will always be the head vampire to me.

I remember "Square Pegs". And the one movie that Jason Patric did that I loved was Rush. Very dark, very good. Now I have that damn "Square Pegs" song in my head.

A friend of mine had a giant French subway movie poster from that movie, and it was beautiful. I coveted it tremendously.

I love that movie...though the last time I watched it I giggled quite a bit. ;)

A Coreys' movie!



And the white German Shepard Dog.


Ahh, to be a vampire.


Jason Patric - one sexy guy, but Im all for some Keifer. Break me off a piece of him!

Im glad you said that Speed 2 thing, cause it was a THING, totally not a flick. Good choice on Keanu's part. Smart man. I love him.
