The Breakfast Club and Popcorn

The Breakfast Club and Popcorn

Late August and September are when children go back to school. We have picked a movie that fits with this time of year.  It is a John Hughes’ film, “The Breakfast Club.”  This year is the 30th anniversary of when this film opened.  This film teaches us that just because you think someone is different that you doesn’t mean they are. 

The Breakfast Club takes place at Shermer High School in Shermer, Illinois.  One Saturday Morning in March, 

five teens  have detention at the high school.  These teens have nothing in common because they are all from different cliques at the school.  There is Claire Standish (Molly Ringwald) who is the snooty rich girl. Andrew Clarke (Emilio Estevez) who is the championship wrestler.  Brian Johnson (Anthony Michael Hall), he is the straight “A” student. Allison Reynolds (Ally Sheedy), she is an extremely shy outcast girl.  Last but not least there is John Bender (Judd Nelson).  He is the typical bad boy. Then there is the very strict Assistant Principal Richard Vernon (Paul Gleason). He is in charge of detention. He still has a lot to learn about kids. As the day progresses these teens find out how much they really do have in common. 

Just get out the popcorn and enjoy the movie. What is your favorite type of popcorn? Just plain or with tons of butter?  Maybe you like caramel popcorn. Do you microwave your popcorn or have an air popper?  Maybe you use Jiffy Pop?  When you eat popcorn when watching movies what do you like?  Let us know.

Baseball, Hot Dogs and More

We hope you are having a good summer.  Summer is when some may enjoy spending time outdoors. You may go to the beach or a park.  Some go to an amusement park.  You may participate in or attend summer sports games.

One outdoor activity some may enjoy is baseball. In July there was the just the All-Star games for  Baseball League. The American League beat the National League in the Major League. Some of the many foods that you can enjoy when you go to the stadium to see a game in person are Hot Dogs, Popcorn, Cotton Candy or even some Cracker Jacks.  What foods do you enjoy the most when you have a chance to go to a game?

One of the good movies about Baseball is the movie “A League of Their Own.” It is a movie about the  All-American Girls Softball League.  You may not know but during World War II women were asked to come play  baseball. The reason was that Major League Baseball would continue while the male players were away fighting in the war. This was happening all around the country during that time in all of the businesses in the country.  The real problem came when the men came back and women who found they enjoyed working were forced to quit.

This movie was director by Penny Marshall of “Laverne and Shirley” fame.  It stars Geena Davis as Dottie Hinson and Lori Petty as her sister Kit Keller. This movie also has Tom Hanks as The Peaches Manager, Jimmy Dugan. Some of the baseball players are Rosie O'Donnell as Doris Murphy, Madonna as Mae Mordabito. Megan Cavanagh as Marla Hooch and Penny Marshall’s daughter Tracy Reiner as Betty Spaghetti Horn.  Penny’s brother Garry Marshall plays Walter Harvey. Garry you will know from many of the movies and television show he directed and produced. For example “Happy Days”, “Laverne and Shirley” and “Pretty Woman.” Then there is Jon Lovitz as Ernie Capadino. He is the baseball scout who went around the country to find the women to play in the league. Here is more about this movie.
