Some classics ('The Wild One', 'The Outsiders'), some of the really? you really think these are still interesting? (The Breakfast Club, Pretty In Pink),...and some that were downright brave - Bring It On, Mean Girls, Little Darlings and..Twilight. I still haven't decided whether the choice to include Twilight was a dare, a means of taking the piss from the readers, or a genuinely I-could-care-less-what-the-hipster-consensus is,Twilight fits the pattern of a really good teen movie. Mullholland is very opionated (if you've read Popcorn, you'll know what I mean)- and sometimes makes a bit of a tool of himself (and I don't mean the bits where he's intentionally self-parodying.) Also, we all know how important Buffy The Vampire Slayer is to post-90's film and youth culture; Mullholland manages to slip in a Buffy reference every five films or so. (Presumably his editor is a Buffy fanboy too.) Overall I really enjoyed 'Stranded at the Drive-In', but just like 'Popcorn', there's just a little too much of the author's 'right-on, I'm a cardcarrying leftie feminist who grew up poor, so I know better' shtick. Great read, interesting choice of films, but just a little overbearing. Mullholland is no Vern, though.… (altro)
