Diner

malibu by malibu · Jan 10, 2003 · 151 views · Journal

so today on my day i took off from school i was flippin channels and on one of those E! True Hollywood Story things there was the story about a movie called Diner. it had all these then unknowns like Paul Reiser, Kevin Bacon and all these other people. It was a movie about guys hanging out and bein best buds. To me the movie seemed genious because whenever we go out, we go to a diner (we have been to everyone in a 30 mile radius). but i only saw the beginning of the show and then i had to leave for my dentist appointment, so my question was: has anyone ever seen this movie? or heard of it? and if you have do you fell its a good one? or something that's appropriate to watch?

never saw it cuz i think it was rated r. i've seen scenes on tv, but it doesn't get alot of airplay

I never saw it but I heard it was a brilliant movie.... I think it came out in the early '80's... but Reiser and Bacon weren't unknowns... Reiser was in Beverly Hills Cop and Bacon was in Footloose (and TV's Guiding Light soap opera) prior to this movie IIRC...

i believe beverly hills came out a couple of years after diner. same thing with footloose. at the time of diner, these guys were fairly new actors. other newcomers in diner were steve guttenberg, dan stern, mickey rourke, tim daly, and ellen barkin. (imdb.com)

delliott101 delliott101OG 2002

Yeah, THAT I know, but when was Diner released?

ok4now ok4nowOG 2002

(formal response) Diner was released in 1982. By the way, Footloose and Beverly Hills Cop were released in 1984. (better?)

It's kind of like the Outsiders with all would-be stars

malibu #4.1 malibuOG 2001

but the outsiders was all would-be stars too. so it's rated r then and don't rent it?

thatdarngirl #4.1.1 thatdarngirlOG 2002

I don't think it's rated R..read the book it's good!

ok4now #4.2 ok4nowOG 2002

what's 'the outsiders'?

thatdarngirl #4.2.1 thatdarngirlOG 2002

A very good movie and an even better book about Ponyboy, Johnie, Sodapop etc.

i'm picturing a lot of spike hair, true?

thatdarngirl thatdarngirlOG 2002

Nope, slicked back hair. They're greasers in the movie.

malibu malibuOG 2001

no i meant that the diner movie was r. i've seen outsiders, made me a little mad cuz they just pulled dumb stuff and all the grease, even though they were greasers, was too much. they needed more than a shower.

punkprincess punkprincessOG 2001
