22 Things You Might Not Know About The Breakfast Club

Kate Erbland gives us 22 Things You Might Not Know About The Breakfast Club.

My two favorites…

08.  Emilio Estevez was originally slated to play Bender, but Hughes couldn’t find anyone else who was right for the Andrew role, so Estevez ultimately switched and the Bender gig went to Judd Nelson.

10. Other actresses that could have played Claire [Molly Ringwald’s part]? Robin Wright, Jodie Foster, and Laura Dern, who all auditioned for the part.

I don’t think I’ve ever bought a hat in my life.  I don’t wear ’em.

While I would agree that the dome-topper pictured above is very stylish, even if I did buy hats, I couldn’t afford this one’s two point four million dollar price tag.

Yeah, you read that right.

Two.  Point Four. MILLION. Dollars.

That’s a lot of dough, even if Napoleon Bonaparte did wear the hat into battle.  The winner bidder paid more than five times the reserve!

If I wore a hat, I’d say, “Hats off to the winner.”

When Universal’s Classic Monsters Hit the Big Screen for the First Time

The Hollywood Reporter recently went into their vaults to bring together excerpts from their original reviews for the Universal Monsters

  • Frankenstein
  • The Invisible Man
  • The Wolf Man
    and
  • The Creature from the Black Lagoon

It’s interesting to see how these films were originally reviewed,  some over 80 years ago.
