How old is Timbo?
(Just general ballpark)

Ageless.

Lahk a fahn wahn.

(I was being someone from Kath and Kim then. Just FYI. And I very much enjoyed it.)

But possibly a little corked.

I think the 80s, though you could make a good argument for it being a generally shit decade, was a good time for movies if you were a kid growing up. Ghostbusters? The Goonies? Back To The Future? Indy? Ferris Bueller? Big? Where are todays equivalents? Those shitting Narnia films?!

High School Musical. :(

Those poor, poor children...

You're forgetting Agent Cody Banks and the Spy Kids movies.

Ah, my argument has fallen to pieces . . .

Those poor, poor children...

On my way home from work I pass a theatre, on Friday they were showing a live version of High School Musical and I had to battle my way through hundreds of six year old girls in replica cheerleader costumes. If I had been born a bit wrong I may just have found myself in heaven. As it is it was just faintly disturbing.

And of course the 80's had Grease 2.

Not to mention Mannequin.

Mannequin is actually awesome.

It's SHIT!

The main fella is really quite odd and creepy.

No love for Top Secret?

And Back to the Future is my favourite movie of any decade.

Loved Top Secret prefer it to the Airplane films.

Favorite quote

Nick Rivers: Listen to me Hillary. I'm not the first guy who fell in love with a woman that he met at a restaurant who turned out to be the daughter of a kidnapped scientist only to lose her to her childhood lover who she last saw on a deserted island who then turned out fifteen years later to be the leader of the French underground.
Hillary Flammond: I know. It all sounds like some bad movie.
[Long pause. Both look at camera]
