Weird Sackage

Weird Science. Now that's a classic 80's film. You can probably nominate a couple of sad-sacks from that movie (I'm looking at you Wyatt and Gary). But for some unknown reason, I've been thinking about Chet lately. As an older brother, I know the nuances of picking on your siblings, and then coming around to regret being an asshole. It's just the way it is. However in this instance, Chet really did have to learn things the hard way. His humbling showdown with Lisa (the foxy Kelly LeBrock) is the stuff of legends. We all took pleasure in watching Chet grovel, and perhaps even felt pity in the end. Epic Sad-Sackedness and the transformative power of film and science!
I'm heading to Blockbuster after work...
