December 5, 2012 Remember that loveable bear from 1984 that read stories to you if you inserted the appropriate cassette tape into his back? (sold separately, batteries not included.) But for curious troublemakers like us, our ever-inquiring minds want to know, what if you put a different sort of tape inside? Like, say a heavy metal one?!?
When one thinks of ‘Say Anything...,’ John Cusak, holding a boom box above his head and serenading Ione Skye with the Peter Gabriel song ’In Your Eyes' likely comes to mind.
But beyond that iconic scene, Cameron Crowe’s directorial debut is perhaps one of the most well-crafted and nuanced teen romantic comedies of all time.
PBS mainstay 'Mr. Wizard' was so crotchety back in the day that comedy writers Mike Schuster and Diane Bullock had to make two videos just to contain all of his hilarious put-downs and snide remarks directed towards his young sidekicks. (You can watch the first Mr. Wizard supercut here.).
