The Lost Boys (1987)

80s vibes? 10/10

Queer culture and metaphors through vampirism? Also 10/10

Plot and dialogue and overall film construction? B+ You Tried!

honestly this movie was great. It wasn't the best movie ever made but damn was it fun. the vibes were up. the homosexuality was homosexualing. I loved it. It had a sad ending though, they killed those vampires for being gay 😭 Michael killed his boyfriend bc he had internalized homophobia 😭

(tbh that made it even more queer culture tho)

overall this movie slapped fr fr. Would watch again. The costumes sets and vibes and aesthetics were literally on point. hell yeah.

GET TO KNOW ME MEME [6/10 movies]

I said it before, and I’ll say it again. Life moves pretty fast. If you don’t stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

AMAZING!!! I loved it so much, will be watching again for the good vibes and fun stuff. Here’s some thoughts:

I’ve been putting off watching this movie for a while, because it’s a Val movie and I was afraid it was going to be a cringey movie but I’d enjoy it anyway bc I love him so much

This was not the case. The movie was fun and cool!

80s vibes were there. I watch movies made in this time period to see ridiculous haircuts, fun outfits, bright colors, and songs where the drummer abuses the hell out of their snare drum, and this Had it for sure. Also extra points for the iconic Tears for Fears song making a debut at the end.

I always love movies about silly shenanigans, ride or die friend groups, and stick-it-to-the-man vibes. This fit that bill for sure.

Aside from the obvious objectification of women typical of the time period, I’d say this movie wasn’t as misogynistic as I thought it would be! Jordan’s character was an actual human being, she was fun and cool and had a cute little romance with Mitch that wasn’t reductive of her humanity. (Bare minimum, but hey. This is an 80s movie. The bar is on the floor). Also, woman in STEM! Points for that.

Oh my god Val Kilmer’s character was a total vibe. He was silly and fun and had heart, and was great to watch. Not to mention how much of a theater kid I could tell Val is 🤣 (the way he pronounces “wh” and his ability to use energy and physical comedy). Which is to say it was amazing. And his character is SOOOO gender, as usual with me and Val characters, but my god the chaos bisexual gremlin vibes were off the CHARTS.

Aaaand how could I close out this review without saying IT FEATURED A PAIR OF RAYBANS!!! it’s per my blog title after all.

Thanks for the rec!! Can’t wait to rewatch and reblog gifsets!!
