    how it should have ended

    No, not how the Burbs should have ended, unfortunately, but this does give a small mention of the Burbs - you have to be quick though.

    Right Situations, Right Time

    We had a fire drill the other day at the office. We had to assemble out in the parking lot. There was a person with a bullhorn directing us on where to stand. He was just messing around with the bullhorn and this sound like a police siren comes out. I turned to my coworkers and said "siren...

    Flooding in Iowa

    The last couple of weeks have been really hard on the American midwest and the Mississippi River Valley. Evidently floods of record have resulted in Iowa from, in some cases, 500-year storm events. Hopefully, Hinkley Hills or at least Mayfield Place was spared and the Klopeks' basement remains...

    Film cell

    What film cell would you guys want? I think one of Reuben's evil looks or where Ray comes out of his house and is looking at the Klopeks house in the opening sequence would be cool.

    VOTE!

    Nah, this isn't about the elections or anything so mundane as that. I don't really give a rat's rear end who you vote for this coming November (for you US voting age members). This is about something of far more significance. It seems that uh, psychos, fanatics, murderers, nut cases all over the...

    Hidden references

    As proposed and seconded, have you guys found any subtle references to other films/events in the film that may have been overlooked previously? There is, of course, the Roselli Plumbing truck that passes the window during Carol's lecture, Gremlins, etc, but what may not have been previously...

    Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (and its healing powers)

    Anyone planning on seeing this movie soon? When I saw the title, I immediately thought about the Burbs. Of course I added the last part. There was a program on the Sci-Fi channel the other day about crystal skulls and their supposed magic powers. I thought they should have interviewed Art...

    Twisted Beer Crawl

    Last Friday night my wife and I were hanging out with some of the neighbors and one of mentioned (after a few beers, of course) having a pub crawl in the neighborhood where we all buy unusual brands of beer and we go from house to house to sample all the different types of beers. I think it will...

    If the Burbs had been filmed today

    We are less than 1 year from the 20th anniversary of the release of the Burbs. If the Burbs had been made today how do you think it would be different? Some things are obvious - it could not possibly be as good because Brother Theodore is gone and Tom Hanks would be toooooo expensive. Anything...

    Burbs ring tone

    Booonnnniiieee, Here is one for your skills. What about a Burbs ring tone? Is that even possible? And what would it be? The theme from when the paperboy is delivering papers, the opening scene zooming into Mayfield Place?

    Night at the Museum

    I thought this is one of the best movies to come out in a long time. It has a lot of neat twists in the plot and a lot of laughs. Anyone else like it?

    Who's still here?

    Sorry, I have been out of town on vacation and business most of the last two weeks. Seems the board has gotten rather slack. Who all still checks back in out of the 30 of us who are members?
