Can't Buy Me Love

Last night I had an extremely disturbing evening, I watched “Can’t Buy Me Love” starring Patrick Dempsey. This used to be a favorite of my sister and I when we were kids so when I saw it was on tube I immediately changed the station to it.

The fact that it was terrible came as a shock to me. The hammy music that would start whenever Dempsey’s character would make some kind of deep statement how tough it was to be a nerd made is nearly unbearable.
I also had no idea there was any sort of sex in the film.

Shocking...

I think it highly possible that my sister and I were in possession of an edited version of the film. We also had an edited version of “Temple of Doom” where the whole Mola Ram ripping out the beating heart of that dude scene was removed and replaced with snow. I hadn’t seen the unedited version of that one until 2 years ago and was disappointed with how not scary it was. We were also not allowed to watch “Dirty Dancing” and had to go to the neighbor’s house to watch the infamous half of Patrick Suase butt scene. That I saw a few years back as well, I wasn’t too impressed but the half a butt cheek was just as I remembered it.
After the horror of last night, I can only wonder what other pleasant childhood film memories will be destroyed in the future.
