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 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.

Ditto with Jamie Gertz. When I first caught a glimpse of that show I couldn't place her (Do you remember her as the preppy girl on Square Pegs by any chance?) and when I realised who it was, I was surprised. I wish I could like that show, but it is just so dumb. And she does that fake Chicago accent and it just grates on my nerves.

It is an awesome movie still, despite the leather clad sax player and the hair.

Bill and Ted came out after Lost Boys because I remember my friend and I saying "Oh! It's Marco! Yay!"

Jason Patric was hot. I think Kiefer really nuianced that character. So very slashy.
