the LOST WEEKEND (1945) and DAYS OF WINE AND ROSES (1962) are both about alchoholism.

I never went through bad withdraws like Ray Milland or Jack Lemmon did, but it could be bad at times.

They did a little, low-budget film series based on my exploits.
Of course, they changed my name to "Indiana Jones."   BounceGiggle BounceGiggle BounceGiggle

I've mentioned some of the following before, but:

I saw Christian Slater in HEATHERS when I was 11 or 12 and thought, "I want to be that guy."

I tried to become that guy, but alas, about four years later I saw Donovan Leitch in CUTTING CLASS and Martin Donovan in TRUST and decided I'd actually become those guys. (Hence my profile pic.)

April '99, a Senior in college, I saw RUSHMORE for the first-time on the tail-end of its theatrical run. I had finally started to reflect a little more realistically on my high school experience, and... well, Max Fischer in RUSHMORE is a pretty accurate biographical depiction in many regards. (Obv purely incidental, but accurate!) After a couple more viewings it became (and remains) my favorite film.

Northville Cemetary Massacre.  I'm from this Northville, spent my first 18 years there, which is a town of about 6000 people in Michigan.  Just weird our town even features in a single movie like that, just real small.  I actually haven't seen it, really should. 

If you're ever in suburban Detroit, I will say Northville is pretty nice.  Maybe not worth going out of your way for, it's small, but it has preserved Victorian houses and a pretty cute main street area.  They throw a Victorian Festival every year which I enjoyed as a kid - got to dress up as a Victorian kid and march in a parade once.

    Earth is visited by a GIANT ANTIMATTER SPACE BUZZARD! Gawk at the amazingly bad bird puppet, or chuckle over the silly dialog. This is one of the greatest b-movies ever made.

    Lesson Learned:
    • Osmosis: os·mo·sis (oz-mo'sis, os-) n., 1. When a bird eats something.
