I wouldn't sweat it, dude. We're cool here, right? :)

Geoffreys was superb in an old Amazing Stories episode where he falls in love with a girl, and then finds out that he and his own family are actually aliens living quietly on earth, and it's now time for them to leave for the stars... Naturally he is very depressed and doesn't want to leave his new girlfriend behind.  Then as he is boarding the ship, he finds out that *bingo*...she and her family are also aliens, and so they leave for "home" on the same ship. :) A very sweet, romantic story.

I also saw him in a hilarious movie where he and his buddies were in a Catholic boarding school or somesuch, but he had this problem...  Funny stuff.

I heard where his career has gone, and well, he's a fine young actor, I just hope life treats him well and that he takes care of himself, whatever he does.

Cheers,

Kolos

kolos the catholic school movie you're talking about is "heaven help us" then there's 976-EVIL which was a cool movie but i can't help be p**sed at it's existance since if it weren't for it stephen probably would have returned in fright night 2 thus making it more of a worthy sequal

Yeah, that was the one I was talking about. And I may be wrong. It has been along time, since I've read it, and sometimes my memory does play tricks on me. I'll have to see if I can dig up a copy somewhere and re-read it.

BoyScoutKevin

He plays it fairly straight, as this was early in his career, before he started bumblin' and stumblin' around. Something of an underrated film by a underrated director, it is worth seeing for the subtle verbal and visual wit, and the not so subtle and visual wit. And if that does not appeal to you, there is the luscious Lady Sylvia Marsh (Amanda Donohoe) running around in very little or nothing at all. A preview of the film can be found at this site, under the "B-Movie Reviews."                                
P.S. Trevor the Rat. You are right. "Fright Night" does star Roddy McDowall and Amanda Bearse, among others, and not Hugh Grant. But, Lord Humungous was talking about "Lair of the White Worm." and whatever one thinks of Hugh Grant, he is in that one.

Kolos

Thanks, Trevor.  

I had a female friend who was crazy-insane head over heels for Geoffreys, until I gave her a copy of that movie... I wonder if she knows what he's doing today?

Cheers,

Kolos

Well, hell.  How did I miss that review.  I must have seen Hugh's name and skipped right over it.  I think I'll have to check it out. I do appreciate subtle verbal and visual wit.  I also appreciate nekkid chicks.  :)

Trevor the Rat

Yeah man the book was a little more light hearted than that. instead of armies of the night playing at the club like in the movie in the book it was michael jackson's thriller. thank god they changed it.
