I watched it again this weekend, with a few beers of course
Man..that Ricky sure knows how to party! Ya know...the more I watch that movie, the more I want to be married to Carol Peterson
(Na seriously, bless her heart...being an alcoholic actor these days afaik...), but ya know...in the movie "Carol Peterson"...not 50 year old Carrie Fisher...
If anything, she'd probably crack jokes about us in here in her stand-up-comedy shows, like William Shatner did about his startrek fans (Trekkies...ought to get a life...etc.)
I first started watching it when I was at University in 1996/7. I then got into a routine of watching it late every sunday night and wednesday night for about 3 years. As I was studying I'd stay up really late and would have the morning off.
At the time there had been an initial fan site called Klopek's Backyard. Then there came a Burbs Forum run by John Osbourne in Australia. I even sometimes stayed up until 3am BST because that was the 9pm chat time in the States. And we'd all chat about the movie.
But when that site lost it's funding myself and SFADan from Texas and Peggy from Belgium kept one site going alone for a year. Just three members! Then after making efforts to advertise the site (which wouldn't come up in a search) luckily Hayley joined and when that site folded we chatted and Hayley announced she was going to do her own. Hence this cool site.
I have had a long haitus from the movie as I had seen it SO many times, but have recently started watching it again.
You're like an encyclopedia of 'Burbs fan pages. It's really cool to read stuff like this, and it reminds me a lot of my current situation (study and watching the movie). Good to have you back on this great site Mr Weingartner
