Having to explain why the USS Enterprise never meets anyone from Star Wars...

When I finally bought An American Werewolf in London I was basking in it's goodness when my girlfriend goes "It's a bit shit isn't it"

That was  couple of years ago and I'm still trying to absorb it so i can retaliate

Seriously, that would be a deal-breaker in my book. When I met my wife, after several club-nights of small-talk, I finally took her out on a proper 'date'. It was only when we started talking about favourite films and she knew, and liked, American Werewolf, Wicker Man, The Thing and The Fog, that I relaxed and thought this might work. When I realised she shared my love of Peter Cushing and Vincent Price, I excused myself ostensibly to go to the bog, nipped out the window and went to put some money down on the ring.

I can live with her complete disinterest in comics, but a slating of American Werewolf- she may as well have laughed at my penis and punched me in the face.

Not exactly anti sci-fi but funny all the same:

It's a steamy evening and the packed cinema is hushed watching The Next Generation crew on their first solo outing in Generations. The doors open, and in comes a man much the worse for drink. He slowly makes his way past many people to the center of the row with many half-drunk burbled 'Scuse me's. The film continues. Picard strides across the screen in a defiant manner, broking no challenge when from the drunk in row 3C (a few seats from myself) comes the following hushed comment:

[spoiler:5nva38q8]That's not fucking Kirk!! I'm not paying to watch this shoite!!![/spoiler:5nva38q8]

Exit drunk, stage left leaving a rather quiet and thoughtful audience.

Still...better than when I went to see the Judge Dredd film and sat in an auditorium empty apart from myself and one tramp. High-light of the film was going up to the booth to wake the projectionist to ask him to kindly show more of the film on the screen and not off onto the wall on the left.

Happy days.

If, after watching a film, I suggest to friends that a certain plot contrivance was a bit far fetched they inevtable reply 'Yes Steve but you think Robo-Cop' is real.

And I honestly don't!

Just told my Missus of this discussion and she said "How can you not like American Werewolf?!! It's a classic! And it's got Jenny Agutter in it - in the nip - for the lads!"

You know, when she's right, she's right.

Do you know, up until recently, I worked very closely with Jenny Agutter's cousin.

Who, sadly, is a man.

(Note: Oddly, I bristle at Am.We.Lon being called "a classic"- entirely because I find it distressing to think that it's nearly thirty years old. I still consider it "a modern horror film". Good grud, I am old.)

The first time I watched American Werewolf, myself and a couple of mates sat down with some beers and popped the video on. After a little while, one of my mates says to the screen "Look, Jenny, you've been in this film for a full twenty minutes and you haven't got your kit off yet -- ooh, hello!"

Cheers

I just absolutely hate Star Trek. All of them.

I agree.

Although lovely, we connoisseurs of Ms Agutter regard 'An American Werewolf in London' as a lesser jenny. Check out 'Equus' for her full range of talents. If you like her as a scientist in a Time Tunnel parody check out my recently uploaded clip from 'The All New Alexei Sayle show : DRUNK IN TIME

I love Equus. The play (as in the "book"), the stage production, always have, always will. But I've never seen the film. I really should, shouldn't I?
