Weird Science
Two unpopular teenagers, Gary and Wyatt, fail at all attempts to be accepted by their peers. Their desperation to be liked leads them to "create" a woman via their computer. Their living and breathing creation is a gorgeous woman, Lisa, whose purpose is to boost their confidence level by putting them into situations which require Gary and Wyatt to act like men. From TMDB

unlabelledView post →I have reached the part of my SG-1 rewatch where someone was like, "Somehow we signed Vanessa Angel from Weird Science, no, the TV show, not the movie, for three episodes. Your orders are to put her in a different ridiculous space-fantasy dress every episode and see what that does for our ratings."
unlabelledView post →Watching the Weird Science TV show, which I recall being surprisingly funny. I thought it was a more kiddie-fied version of the movie since it used to air reruns on Fox Family, but now I'm wondering what episodes they could possibly air? Half the plots are about them trying to lose their virginity??

unlabelledView post →Can’t believe they got away with calling that movie Weird Science. But then again it was the 80s and slurs were everywhere.
unlabelledView post →I finally figured it out. Peter Thiel totally looks like the Mutant Biker in the movie "Weird Science".

unlabelledView post →Tonight’s movie is Weird Science. Despite being a massive 80s nerd, I’ve never seen this before. I hear it’s a classic tho!

unlabelledView post →The movie came out in 1985, in roughly the same time frame as various movies that featured permutations of jocks-vs.-nerds animosity (e.g. Sixteen Candles, Revenge of the Nerds, Weird Science). But Real Genius was about what happens when nerds lean into bullying *other* nerds
unlabelledView post →Comics to films 💬=🎞️ "Made of the Future" in Weird Science Vol #5 by Al Feldstein & Wally Wood was made into the film Weird Science (1985) by John Hughes. The comic features a single protagonist who creates the perfect woman & has a darker tone than the teen comedy. 🔬🧪👩 #filmsky #booksky #comicsky

unlabelledView post →80s was a time when movies didn't have to explain themselves. In Weird Science, two goofy bastards make a woman with magic powers using their computer and the power of a lightning storm. Who cares how it worked. It just worked. What a dumb, stupid, silly movie that I loved and watched many times.

unlabelledView post →The movie Weird Science, except it’s a middle-aged English professor using all the cat hair in their apartment to make additional cats.
unlabelledView post →There's a reason that movie is called WEIRD Science, guys.
unlabelledView post →Just filled a gap in my movie history by seeing Weird Science at the Alamo Drafthouse. Why did nobody warn me that this movie is The Cat in the Hat with more statutory rape

unlabelledView post →The totality of the motivations of people pushing “AI” are spelled out in the movie Weird Science. (Calculating how gross it is for NPR to be fronting for this crap is an exercise left to the reader.)
unlabelledView post →Given we're talking about Obsession again let me blow your mind and say I think Weird Science was either a big influence on the movie or something that feels absolutely on harmony
unlabelledView post →the nearest "masculinity" standard I can map this shite to is the arsehole teenage older brother/kid who relentlessly bullies the younger teenage brother/kid protagonist in whatever 80s high school movie, their model of "masculinity" seems to be Chet from Weird Science

unlabelledView post →Weird Science is on. I know pretty much every line from this movie. Haha.
unlabelledView post →I remember seeing, like, one episode waaay back in the day (admittedly, might have been some other show, but I remember it as Weird Science) where they get sent into a slasher movie.
unlabelledView post →just watched “Weird Science” (1985), very much a movie from history that is waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay creepier in current year, yikes. also, once again, Kevin Smith really liked John Hughes movies, huh?

unlabelledView post →The more I listed to him yesterday it finally dawned on me who Hegseth is. He is Chet from Weird Science. Not the beginning of the movie Chet but Chet at the end when Lisa was done with him.
unlabelledView post →Waiting for the internet to yell at me, but I love WEIRD SCIENCE (the show) way more than the movie.
unlabelledView post →Weird Science (The TV Show, not the movie) had a nice monster suit Zanthrax was nice.
unlabelledView post →Weird Science and Obsession are the same movie 40 years apart in this essay I will #lastfourwatched
unlabelledView post →I'm not sure I'd say Eye of the Tiger more famous than Rocky. Any more than Glory of Love was bigger than Karate Kid or We Don't Need Another Hero was bigger than Mad Max: Beyond Thunderdome. But I do feel like we still listen to the songs and never watch the movies, so they are enduring in a way the movies aren't. Though now I want to watch a bunch of 80's flicks. Weird Science. Flash Gordon. Highlander. You know what's a weird outlier, though, now that I'm thinking about it? Batdance. Must…
unlabelledView post →I find almost all of those movie coinciding with my teenage years completely unwatchable. Weird Science. The Breakfast Club. Sixteen Candles. Ferris Bueller. Pretty in Pink. All of them just garbage to me now.

unlabelledView post →We watched Weird Science last night, hadn't seen it in ages, still holds up, but definitely a silly movie. 😂
unlabelledView post →Now watching Nightmare Sisters (1988) From what I gather, this film is a cross between Weird Science and wacko possession flick.
unlabelledView post →If, like me, you were a teenage boy in the mid-1980s you quite possibly remember Kelly LeBrock in the movie "Weird Science"... How could we resist getting into computers after that!? Anyway, this and much more discussed in episode 485 of "Smashing Security" podcast with special guest Lianne Potter
