Saturday in the Teen Lounge: Clueless Screening

We're going to party like it's 1995 with this classic tale of a High School airhead.

When Cher can't get her teacher to give her a better grade, she and her friends decide that what is needed to get him to lighten up is love.  She's also matchmaking for her friends, but when she realizes that she wants love for herself, she finds that the makeover she needs is more than a new outfit and shade of lipstick.  

The plot aside, the "Fashion" in this movie is worth the watch.  Did anyone really ever wear a yellow plaid suit to school?

 There are three rules you must follow if you are gifted a Mogwai:

 

  1. never get him wet,
  2. keep him out of bright light, and
  3. never feed him after midnight


When Billy is given a Mogwai for Christmas, he is initially thrilled with his cuddly new pet.  However, when he fails to follow the rules, he ends up pretty much destroying his town.
 

Watch December 26th 2:30 PM in the Teen Lounge

Fun Fact: Along with Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, Gremlins is one of the movies credited with prompting the MPAA to create the PG-13 rating, after people complained that the violence was too much for a PG rating, but not enough for to warrant an R.
