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 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.*

I had the big Jamie Gertz hair too. Long and curly. Bitch to brush, but there you go.

I also wore more long flowy skirts than was good for me, thanks to that movie. :)

LOL--I wore the denim mini-dresses a lot because my legs were one of my best assets. *g*
