The Lost Boys

All this discussion about the snowball fight misses the much more important debate about whether Lost Boys is a good movie.

So I watched it for the first time on Keith's recommendation, and because Corey Haim died. Holy balls, that movie pretty much sucks from beginning to end. I liked it as a movie to laugh at, and to remember how stupid we all looked back in the 80's, but the cheesiness of it was just so over the top. It seemed to be an allegory about how younger kids can get overly worked up by comic books, and that all the older kids in leather jackets and earrings are actually evil. Interview with a Vampire holds up much better over time, and came out only a few years later.
