I like Breakfast for Dinner...is there a club for that?
Over break we were assigned to live tweet a movie. I chose the classic 80's film directed by John Hughes.

I remember when my dad told me I needed to watch it & boy, was he right. I love this movie so much, it's in my top 5.
A film about five kids serving Saturday detention representing 5 general stereotypes.
I instantly fell in love with the characters of John Bender and Andrew Clark. This could have something to do with my obsession for hero athletes and bad boys.
In The film, the script, content, & acting was simply beautiful & genuine.
I based some tweets around famous quotes or witty quotes very remembered from the movie.
Tweet: "Don't mess w/ the bull young man, you'll get the horns." -Richard Vernon. As much as I dislike his character, the things he says are great.
Tweet: "I'm thinking of trying out for a scholarshhiipp" #benderquotes #classic #TheBreakfastClub
Tweet: Is it sad that the way Bender gives Andy the bird I use on a daily basis? "Do you hear this? Do you want me to turn it up?" #80smovies
Some were thought provoking for the reader.
Tweet: The convo about clubs & stereotypes is so true & sad. Kind of a catch 22, not accepted enough to try out, wouldn't be if he did. #toughbreak
Tweet: I could literally quote this entire movie every day of my life & be happy. Best. Script. Ever. The wit is so raw, what happened to that?
Tweet: Janitors are always the most genuine people. Kind of scary that they are the eyes and ears of schools. Think about it...
Tweet: Wait but is the button pin on Bender's glove a cry for help? #notsaved #needsahero Maybe Vernon was right. #badboyact
Tweet: Is being a virgin even that big of a deal anymore? I feel like it's so socially acceptable to "ride the hobby horse." #culturechange
Tweet: The best thing about this movie is how in the end they all realize they aren't that different from each other after all. #lifelessons
Others were just personal thoughts & highlights throughout the film.
Tweet: This movie was so beautifully cast. I wish high school was thesame.@EMILIOTHEWAY @MollyRingwald @allysheedy1 #TheBreakfastClub
Tweet: It makes me laugh every time when John Bender just walks through the parking lot w/out even acknowledging the car about to hit him. #smm485
Tweet: Why is Bender such a d-bag yet so attractive? I have a thing for bag boys. Apparently, so does Claire. #spoileralert
Tweet: Now Andy to the rescue! Of course, the athlete...typical. #mancrush @EMILIOTHEWAY
Tweet: Always wish I could whistle along to this part. #sadtweet
Tweet: This lunch scene is too much. Could Andy eat anymore food? #hungryboy #wrestler #gottamakeweight
Tweet: Here we go! Running through the halls of the high school trying to avoid Vernon. This makes me want to get a #SaturdayDetention
The overall concept that I love about this movie is the lesson of judgement & acceptance. People are going to see you for whatever they want to see. The only thing you can really change is how you see yourself.
Thank you for watching & following along with me as we went back in time to the 80's, but let's be real...
