    Mark Rumsfield

    Okay, this has been done a long time ago but thought it would be good to list all the cowardly traits of Lt Rumsfield...and actions, body language or things he says that makes him look like a fraidy cat?

    FLAG

    Okay...this is Art's first new topic in ages so bear with me... If we could hoist a "Burbs Flag" on Burbs Day...what would it look like? Can't be as pathetic as a pretzel...can be as easy as a green light... I can see it now...Rummy presses the button...the flag hoists..." but what's the...

    Movies made for a reason

    It's not anything I've ever heard anyone discuss, but it's something that came to my mind whilst out walking the dog (yeah, yeah, taking the dog for a walk). But I kinda got to thinking that, whenever something becomes something that people talk about to do with being 'top secret', a movie is...

    The great sequel debate

    I got to thinking...there could be another angle on this. The Burbs II: Next Generation Same street. Ricky and Dave have grown up and stay on Mayfield. Art and Suzette had a kid, also now grown up. Hans, long since released and rehabilitated, has broken away from his family and with his...

    Neighbors

    Now, this isn't really a 'neighbors from hell' topic. But I was wondering what your neighbors are like? Do you get on? In summer we have neighbors round for BBQ, drinks at night on the patio etc. We go sledging together. My daughter plays with the other kids her age on our street. Everybody...

    Art's got a gun

    It struck me as I watched this for the billionth time, that that would send shock waves of fear throughout your neighborhood. Imagine...actually letting Art loose with a firearm?? That's why I got the gun I'm gunna pop it to 'em...He 'got' the gun...so someone either sold him it (Mark? the...

    That's a good idea...

    Just took my dog for a walk (yeah yeah took the dog for a walk) Anyway, I got to thinking as I walked...I could develop a super cool Burbs Board Game. The layout would be Mayfield Place, with plastic buildings and lamp posts, Klopek's tree etc you fasten in slots. You then have the characters...

    Ray & Carol

    One thing that first struck me about this movie was the kind of 'reality' about home life. Ray and Carol are seen arguing and shouting "WHY? WHAT AM I ACTING LIKE CAROL!" and "I can't go out without you asking where I'm going?" and "I'll eat take out, I'll clean the house it'll be spotless when...

    Dana Olsen

    I recommend you listen to the Dana Olsen interview on the 20th Anniversary link I'm so pleased to have something qualified by Dana. I said maaaany years ago (and since) that I think one of the main, major influences on this movie was 'Rear Window' for many reasons. But when I suggested this...

    Wish you all a Merry Christmas! Yes folks, our cities have all switched their Xmas lights on, or nearly all, and everyone I know has been Christmas shopping this weekend. I'm thinking of putting my exterior lights up next weekend.

    The Last Burbsy Thing You Did/Said?

    My (naughty little) puppy is now 16 weeks old. Anyone who knows anything about Border Collies will know they love to run, herd, chase, they are highly intelligent, mental, loyal and highly strung. It's therefore been hard to keep her on a long leash. But tonight I walked her in my local woods...
