I used to think it was sad when I would hear that people hadn't seen or spoken to each other in years, but the further I go into adulthood, the more I relate to having people I'm fond of but don't actively, regularly keep in touch with. It doesn't mean that we don't care about each other or the relationship is dead, but it can be challenging when someone is not in proximity and you don't have that pattern of check-ins.
Same... Turned 57 last Friday. Had a really tight group of friends through high school. Stayed in touch and hung out all through college, attended each others weddings, baby showers, etc. Managed to stay close up until we hit 40, but slowly (then quickly) drifted apart. I have a lot of fond memories of those friends, and I'm sure that if by some chance we one day find each other together again, it'll be like we never lost touch. It can be heart breaking sometimes, but you move on, make new friends and then your kids start families of their own.
I can definitely relate to you. I've lost touch with some friends and buddies from High School and College. It's sad that I don't talk to some of them anymore. But I'm sure we haven't forgotten each other. We're just busy with our everyday lives as we get older. I felt that some of my cousins and relatives who are out of state never answer my phone calls or call me back and forget that I even exist. My Aunt told me it's not that they don't forget about me, but they're busy with their everyday lives working, taking care of their families and especially when they're in different states. When they do have time to talk their local friends are the first ones they think about calling. So it's more challenging when you get older
I remember not being sure who the bully in Edward Scissorhands was, and when I saw Anthony Michael Hal in the credits, my mind was blown. I was still picturing "Weird Science" AMH, and it was a total disconnect for me. I was like "whaaaaaaaaaaaa?"
The Breakfast Club absolutely nailed the whole concept of 80's teen angst to a tee! It and the other movies AMH was in helped define a decade and cemented AMH's position as an icon of the 80's. I always associate his movies with fond memories of times gone by when I was a lot younger than the 50-something curmudgeon I am now! LOL!
Saw Kapelos coming out of a Subway in Hollywood back in the 90s. We yelled KARL! He turned around with a shit eating grin and gave us the double middle fingers. Awesome
Anthony Michael Hall is one of those guys that transformed so much in such a short amount of time it's not surprising people have a disconnect between his appearances.
The movie I first thought "Damn he looks different and buff now" was Johnny Be good. Before that you had him playing geeks...Sixteen Candles, Weird Science, Breakfast Club.
No one will ever top the Hellywood alter bait-and switch than that fat kid from Stand by Me who did the honors of prepping us all for Tom Brady and Eli Manning...J. O'Connell. "Hey look, it's Kush on the big screen again!"
The greatest line in movie history was delivered by Anthony Michael Hall in the library of the Breafast Club..."you see what it is, bitches can't hold they smoke, that's what it is." That was total gold!!
What's gold is actually getting the greatest line in movie history wrong. I've seen the movie probably 50 times and there's no "you see what it is" or "bitches" The line is simply "Chicks cannot hold dey smoke, dat's what it is." C'mon, Chuck 😄
Anthony Michael Hall's characters in his early films were so perfect and real that i was truly disappointed that he grew up and couldn't continue to play those roles forever and ever. TBC is my all time favorite.
I went to Cal Arts for the summer when I was 14 & Tim Burton's stamp loomed large there! I also had the pleasure of helping Judd Nelson too! This interview was a delightful because Anthony Michael Hall was someone I grew up with!
I worked at my uncle's video store in 1985. We had several copies of The Breakfast Club and the Karate Kid . It was laughable that kids would rent those two movies over and over again . They drove their moms crazy .
The Breakfast Club is the quintessential timeless classic. It’s message is still relevant even today. I think it should be mandatory watching for kids going into high school.
Very underrated as an actor. First in Breakfast Club as the guy kinda being bullied, to the guy in Edward Scissorhands who is the bully. He was also excellent in the series "The Dead Zone"
Oh man, I remember this interviewer from the Bob Odenkirk interview. Bob kept trying to talk about Chris Farley and the interviewer was all “speaking of me, me me me me me me me me.”
If anyone watched Community, he plays the bully with the mustache in the Season 1 Christmas episode. I had no idea it was him when I first saw it. "Look, if this dude doesn't show up, we're definitely going to Appleby's right? Cuz I'm gettin in a fight no matter what" "Sup?!"
I like Anthony Michael Hall I'm watching the dead zone now and I appreciate the fact he was in Halloween and of course breakfast club and weird science
Crime time after Prime Time. Dangerous Curves and Silk Stalkings. The anthology show Scene of the Crime was interesting, too. Plus, Forever Knight, easily the best of the set.
There was a guy who worked at Walmart who looked like Anthony Michael Hall, this guy was very nice we were talking about John Wick when it was showing on TV. Hearing Anthony talk here, he is pretty cool here.
I remember the first time I was watching Edward Scissor Hands and it took me a bit to realize....."holy shit, that's Anthony Michael Hall!" He looked SO different from the last time I'd seen him in something.
My cousin snagged the DVD I had of the breakfast club in 08 she was a sophomore in high school a week later she gave it back and thanked me for having good taste in old school movie's and she loved every minute of it
One movie he did that never gets mentioned, which is unfortunate, because I think it’s one of his best performances was playing Bill Gates in “ the Pirates of Silicon Valley”
The scene where his Bill Gates misses his plane and puts on a fake tantrum at the airport terminal about computer viruses is rather prescient in a disturbing kind of way, considering what he's been running around shrieking about for the last three years now.
Pretty common I had different friends many times because I moved a lot as a kid. Haven't seen or heard from them again but we were close and we had fun together. I'll never forget them but life goes on
Judd had a decent career in tv. Was an extra on a Xmas movie he did in Santa Fe. Smacked a baseball bat against the linoleum floor of the mall we were shooting in over and over to the crew's nervous silence lol
Judd is a repulsive bum who was extremely lucky to have appeared on any screen, anywhere . We can only hope he doesn't manage to somehow emerge from deserved obscurity to torture us with his presence once again.
"Hello pretty lady, tell me something. What's a beautiful broad like you doing with a malaka like this huh?" "It's purely sexual." "No shit?" "She's in to malakas Dino." "Hehehehehehe...she's in to malakas!"
At :55 he doesn't seem to want to keep in touch with them he gets a little fidgety but that's okay. Just because you worked with them as kids doesn't mean you're friends for life. AMH is a superb actor.
I remember watching BC with my parents when I was in about 5th grade, in 86. It came on HBO one night and my dad was hell bent on watching it. Well, my dad was the VP of our HS and also the teacher who did the detentions. SO my dad was Dick...or I mean Rich so to speak.
IT'S cool to hear people stay in touch over the years, but realistically, why should they ? You film a movie over a few months, then that's it. WHy would i still talk to someone i worked with for a few months at a job...on top of considering TBC was filmed 37 YEARS ago? Yeah, i know there are people like this (one ex co-worker kept in touch with people who hadn't worked there in 4-5years, mostly on FB) but i think...why? For the Lord of the Rings cast, they spent 18months with each other in another country. There's a bigger bond there, but still, at the end of the job, it's a job and they're now ex co-workers.
Andrew McCarthy just finished his documentary BRATS about the Brat Pack and following up with his Brat Pack castmates with exception Anthony Michael Hall and Molly Ringwald who chose not to feature in this documentary for personal reasons…
Glad he looks great ...handsome even & out grew his dorkeyness ; Michael the host looks like Tori Spellings husband & actually caused me to do a double take * As for John Hughes such a gift to us & his teen movies were awesome ...classics *
Was He in the Great Outdoors? With Dan A and John Candy. He was John Candys son. If so that movie is the greatest. Filmed at Bass Lake, those 80s movies are the best..

He still calls him “Mr Hughes” , total respect. John Hughes was/is a Legend.
I was thinking the exact same thing.
The Breakfast Club is one of my favorite movies of all time. Classic
Yes, it is take my life in school
Except for the sexual assault, its not bad
yep and Stand by Me
Me too, He was great in all his 80's movies, He was great in Scissor hands too and even today but he hardly gets roles more then 5 mins now

They should do a sequel and call it "The Dinner Club." Like a Big Chill reunion.
they can get Kevin Costner….
@@MichelleAlexandria-EM finally get him some screen time
Talk about trying to be adults and/or raise kids of their own. Too bad John Hughes is gone.
I'll always remember him from Weird Science with the late, great Bill Paxton.
Are those my grandparents?

He did the bullies proud in Scissorhands though! 😆
Yes!!!! Same thing happened to me lol
He survived SNL, tough guy.
Dude I watched that movie for fucking YEARSSSSSS and didn't notice that till I was like 19 hahahaha.
That was his big come back. It was perfect

Right!! When I saw that advertisement for those USA or TBS show about dead people -I was floored!

Wow such an insightful remark considering today's drooling masses over Lucy Goo Goo who reimagines herself twice each day
@@jcaashby3 his true change was obvious within E. Scissorhands
No one will ever top the Hellywood alter bait-and switch than that fat kid from Stand by Me who did the honors of prepping us all for Tom Brady and Eli Manning...J. O'Connell.
"Hey look, it's Kush on the big screen again!"
I was lucky enough to meet him at con a few years ago. Very gracious and humble, pleasure to meet and talk with
He has such a great presence. Seems like a sweet guy. Warm, friendly. Wow.
''She lives in Canada. I met her at Niagra Falls. You wouldn't know her.''
Still being used by sophomores everywhere.
That was almost a true story for me…
Molly Ringwald lives in France. She has now for many years.
I love that it carried over to Weird Science
I met her at Niagara Falls and fell for her instantly.

yup. nuff said
Not enough DEI for today's CRT/Rainbow Cult Indoctrination Centers, aka public schools.
Kelly LaBrock’s line, “You’re old and out of shape Al - I’ll kick your ah-ss!”.
Very underrated as an actor. First in Breakfast Club as the guy kinda being bullied, to the guy in Edward Scissorhands who is the bully. He was also excellent in the series "The Dead Zone"
I totally agree 👍
The Breakfast Club a true classic
I was born in 83, always found it tame and lame.
1 of the Coolest Movies Ever!
Iconic!
It spoke to a Whole Generation!
Oh man, I remember this interviewer from the Bob Odenkirk interview. Bob kept trying to talk about Chris Farley and the interviewer was all “speaking of me, me me me me me me me me.”
Yeah, I noticed that too. He has his needy days, lol.
Wow what a great interview. I always liked Anthony Michael Hall but I had no clue that he could really spin a yarn.
Same, he's a really smart well-spoken guy.
Anthony is a LEGEND..♡
Brilliant interview.. Thanks. God, I miss the 1980's
This man was Rusty "Russ" Griswold!!! He has had an amazing, iconic career.
The Breakfast Club is still one of my favorite movies. Can watch it anytime.
these interviews are great brings back, so many memories at 56. Genx’ers lived all this shit
If anyone watched Community, he plays the bully with the mustache in the Season 1 Christmas episode. I had no idea it was him when I first saw it. "Look, if this dude doesn't show up, we're definitely going to Appleby's right? Cuz I'm gettin in a fight no matter what" "Sup?!"
Hardly anyone mentions The Dead Zone series.
Which is a shame it was a good series.
It was a very good series, but he will always be compared to Christopher Walken in that role.
Maybe because he was iconically funny young and just good show good performance as adult. But not iconic
He was awesome. Just as if not better than Walken. And I'm a huge Walken fan and Iove his portrayal of Johnny Smith.
Huge Huge King fan as well!
I loved Hall in that series
I downloaded the whole interview yesterday and it was excellent.
I like Anthony Michael Hall I'm watching the dead zone now and I appreciate the fact he was in Halloween and of course breakfast club and weird science
Jon Kapelos will always be Detective Don Schanke from Forever Knight to me.
Crime time after Prime Time. Dangerous Curves and Silk Stalkings. The anthology show Scene of the Crime was interesting, too. Plus, Forever Knight, easily the best of the set.
Great show, a least the first 2 seasons.
John Kapelos is truly a great person. Helluva guy. Really cares about people. And an amazing actor too.
There was a guy who worked at Walmart who looked like Anthony Michael Hall, this guy was very nice we were talking about John Wick when it was showing on TV. Hearing Anthony talk here, he is pretty cool here.
I like when he name drops friends and colleagues he uses their full names.

My cousin snagged the DVD I had of the breakfast club in 08 she was a sophomore in high school a week later she gave it back and thanked me for having good taste in old school movie's and she loved every minute of it
Tim Burton, Jim Henson both outstanding creators.
He was on an early NYPD Blue episode and took a really good slap from Sipowicz (Dennis Franz)!!!
We are the same age so growing up with him and loving his work means a lot to me personally. Did I mention he is funny as F@ck?
I thought he was so cool..
Now he cool because hes chill. The best reason to be cool
He was old beyond his years, such a good actor.
One movie he did that never gets mentioned, which is unfortunate, because I think it’s one of his best performances was playing Bill Gates in “ the Pirates of Silicon Valley”

One of the Greatest Actors of my Generation. I was born in 1972.
I'm loving this channel
I can still hear his voice from when he was young.
I was 15 years old when the movie came out I can’t believe it’s been almost 40 years!
"I love these guys! we were great friends! I haven't talked to any of them in years!"
Pretty common
I had different friends many times because I moved a lot as a kid. Haven't seen or heard from them again but we were close and we had fun together. I'll never forget them but life goes on
AMH had some of the greatest lines and deliveries of those lines in 16 Candles. Brilliant. And at such a young age.
He was badass in Halloween Kills!
Wow so nice to see them grow older.. this movie grew me 🥰
MAH such a great story teller and vibe
I always wondered if he still heard from Brian Johnson or Gary Wallace, or even that Farmer Ted kid...
Judd had a decent career in tv. Was an extra on a Xmas movie he did in Santa Fe. Smacked a baseball bat against the linoleum floor of the mall we were shooting in over and over to the crew's nervous silence lol

@@manofiske3318 damn. Did he hurt you or something?
He had perfect hair in the breakfast club, man! It turned to crap
How often do you watch a video with zero dislikes. Love it!
I'll fix that right now, didn't think you could even see dislikes anymore
Kappelos was also DINOOOO in Weird Science.
"Hello pretty lady, tell me something. What's a beautiful broad like you doing with a malaka like this huh?"
"It's purely sexual."
"No shit?"
"She's in to malakas Dino."
"Hehehehehehe...she's in to malakas!"

Anthony Michael Hall made an appearance on the show Community and I had NO idea it was him until now! lol
Judd Nelson got the Hot Rod part from Transformers and never looked back lol.
Loved weird science
johnny smith! it's good seeing you :)
My father was Antony Carbone who co-starred with Vincent Price in The Pit & the Pendulum.
Didn't know Scissors was Filmed in Tampa and I really liked the Dead Zone Series also.
I would not have thought Breakfast Club was categorized as a comedy.
Smoke 'em up, JOHNNY!

Love when psyc had Jud Nelson, Ally Sheedy, and Anthony Michael Hall on the show.
Good talk, Rusty.
IT'S cool to hear people stay in touch over the years, but realistically, why should they ? You film a movie over a few months, then that's it.

Robert Downey jr would have been a great cameo in the 2018/2021 movies
Greatest movie of all times !
If i have to come back in here i'm cracking skulls!
Right about here at 1:14 for me is when Hall started to sound similar to Joe Rogan lol.
I love his Tim Burton theory
Andrew McCarthy just finished his documentary BRATS about the Brat Pack and following up with his Brat Pack castmates with exception Anthony Michael Hall and Molly Ringwald who chose not to feature in this documentary for personal reasons…
I always forget that he was in Edward Scissorhands
If they had gotten Emilio Estevez, that would mean that the entire cast of "Breakfast Club" would of starred in Psych.
They're all alone dancing you know it baby🤔😂
A superb film.
Luv Michael !!
Thanku got going off on them losers @ the pool !!
Glad he looks great ...handsome even & out grew his dorkeyness ; Michael the host looks like Tori Spellings husband & actually caused me to do a double take * As for John Hughes such a gift to us & his teen movies were awesome ...classics *
You Rock dude Glad your on SVU
I hate the elitist Hollywood "Academy" for turning up their noses to comedies because 16 Candles deserved a freaking oscar.
AMH says "watch this" a lot before he tells a story :)
It’s so funny how he looks nothing like he used to but you can still see his old self in there
Damn I feel old. I literally had to read the description to see who this was.
❤❤❤👍👍👍
Was He in the Great Outdoors? With Dan A and John Candy. He was John Candys son. If so that movie is the greatest. Filmed at Bass Lake, those 80s movies are the best..
No, he was the son in the original “Vacation” with Chevy Chase
No, though acting great Annette Benning played Dan's wife and you'd hardly guess since she never does comedies.
@@steveconn wasn’t that her first role?
The kid in the Great Outdoors kind of looked like him.. actually it was just on cable the other night.. John Candy is outrageous in that movie..
I would wonder if any of them actually got along with Paul Gleason (the principal), or speak with him now
Good stuff loved the movie
Yes! Tim Burton doesn’t get enough credit. Great director
He was great in his appearance in Psych.
He also was great in an episode of No Ordinary Family that he showed up in.
It was more than an appearance, it was a full on casting for almost one full season (split in half).
Now here is Mr Dark Knight reporter on a press tour resowing those manipulative seeds planted so long ago when I was a lad.
Well, I remember EVERY step of this trek and these drones are all on bullsh*t.
Anthony Michael Hall has changed so much of his appearance I'm not sure if had plastic surgery done or what be looks different and not in bad way too.
When John Hughes died I was so upset,we will never see movies like this again.
In summary, everyone is just "great."
No mention of the Dead Zone???
The host seems familiar to me, is it not the guy from Father of the Bride ?
Lex Luther from Smallville
