[00:00:15][music] [singing] >> Welcome to RCA Columbia Pictures Hoyts Video Spotlight on Spring '89. [music] During this [music] edition of Spotlight, you'll be glued to your seats as you witness an entire town being slimed by The Blob. Share laughter and tears with [music] Tom Hanks and Sally Field in the hilarious comedy Punchline.

[00:00:44]And Gene [music] Hackman and Willem Dafoe will shock you in the controversial seven-time Oscar nominated Mississippi [music] Burning.

[00:00:56]>> [music] >> Leading the lineup for September is a lively, grizzly, high-tech monster movie [music] with multi-million-dollar special effects. The Blob is now meaner, faster, and much, much bigger.

[00:01:22]It's been 30 years since that original cult classic The Blob starring Steve McQueen burst onto the screen.

[00:01:32]Do we pull towards you? Now, thanks to the talents of writer-director Chuck Russell, we're about to meet a new blob.

[00:01:40]A blob like we've never seen before.

[00:01:44]>> [screaming] >> I'm a thrill junkie myself. I can't resist uh the temptation to scare the hell out of people.

[00:01:59]Uh it's one of the strongest human emotions and it's thrilling to face that emotion.

[00:02:08]I think one of the um the attractive things about horror films is going in for this this roller coaster ride. It can be a real catharsis. It's like buy your ticket and hop on the roller coaster and just be pulled here and pulled there and and it really takes you for a ride.

[00:02:28]>> [music] [music] [music] >> This is not Darth Vader. It's something that spreads and grows and is unstoppable. And it can just eat and eat and eat people and it keeps growing.

[00:02:49]Come on, answer.

[00:02:50]That's part of what happens to you when you're getting engulfed by the Blob. You get you suffocate and you dissolve.

[00:02:57]I I imagine the Blob to be green.

[00:03:00]Actually, the Blob is a pink color. It eats bodies and the more blood it gets into it, it gets redder and redder. It starts out entirely clear and turns red throughout the movie.

[00:03:11]I like that concept.

[00:03:15]This Blob is quick. It can snap and it can get you any moment. And this thing is full of life and very energetic and can nail you just like that. You you never quite know you know where it's coming from and this thing doesn't have a voice and it really doesn't make a noise. So, it could be creeping up on you anywhere, you know? And that's the scary thing. I mean, you could just see like a a trail of slime somewhere, but you don't know WHERE HE IS.

[00:03:40]>> [screaming] >> AND WE'RE CUT. ALTHOUGH RUSSELL UPDATED THE film for the 1980s, certain key scenes from the original were left intact. There were a couple of images people had from this movie. Like the theater scene, just the idea of showing the audience themselves and saying, "What would you do if you turned around and looked at the back of the projection booth is a ton and a half of enraged slime [music] coming at you."

[00:04:07]There are one or two other moments from the original that we we referred to, but it's not an the film is not an homage. I think we're true to the spirit of the original.

[00:04:15]Uh but uh we have our own characters.

[00:04:20]Blow you out [music] of your shoes, boy.

[00:04:22]Characters that must convince the citizens of their small town that they're being invaded by an indestructible monster. [music] They bought a minute.

[00:04:31]Do you suppose an army of guys in plastic suits show up every time a meteor falls?

[00:04:36]>> [music] >> I always wanted to be able to take modern technology and apply it to that and take uh a group of characters in a small town and put them in a crucible with an ultimate evil and let our imaginations run wild. And in fact, Jack Harris, who produced the original, said, "You guys have got the Blob doing everything we always wanted it to do when we first made it. I think I may have gotten it out of my system."

[00:05:00]If it had a mind, you could reason with it.

[00:05:04]>> [groaning] >> If it had a face, you could look it in the eye.

[00:05:12]If it had a body, you could shoot it.

[00:05:21]Now, man is no longer the supreme being on this planet.

[00:05:28]The organism is growing at a geometric rate. By all accounts, it's at least [music] a thousand times its original mass.

[00:05:35]Nobody believes me about what happened to me. [music] What did happen?

[00:05:44]I want that organism alive.

[00:05:48]I think you pissed IT OFF.

[00:06:02]>> [screaming] >> THE BLOB.

[00:06:05]TERROR HAS no shape.

[00:06:14]At age 13, Molly Ringwald made her film debut in The Tempest, a performance for which she was nominated for the coveted Golden Globe Award.

[00:06:22]Since then, she has continued to affirm her talent and versatility as an actress in a successful series of sensitive teen roles.

[00:06:30]Now in Fresh Horses, a Wine Trove Entertainment presentation, Molly stars in her most mature, sensual, and challenging role to date. I sometimes I can go through a whole deck of cards and tell which ones are red and which [music] ones are black.

[00:06:45]From the back?

[00:06:47]Yeah.

[00:06:49]How do you do that?

[00:06:52]Do it by heat.

[00:06:58]>> [music] [music] >> Can I go now?

[00:07:06]I think Fresh Horses is about um passion.

[00:07:10]Um I think everybody has one experience in their life that will never be like any other experience again. You know, some relationship, you know, something that's so passionate and so wonderful that it could never last, never work. I mean, maybe that's cynical, but um I I would say it's just about about love.

[00:07:31]Molly plays the intriguingly seductive Jewel, a woman who comes from the wrong side of the tracks and is trapped in a world of false promises and dreams of escape.

[00:07:41]That is until Matt Larkin, played by Andrew McCarthy, walks into her life.

[00:07:47]There always experiences in your life where you're going this way and then there's a certain person you meet or an experience that all of a sudden your life is going this way and there's nothing you can do about it, you know? And you happens everyone I think in some degree.

[00:08:01]And that's what happens to this guy in the movie. You know, I bring you here to show you what I'm interested in, what I'm thinking about. You don't care about that, do you?

[00:08:07]Well, I don't know anything about designing things or signs or anything like that.

[00:08:11]>> start learning a thing or two.

[00:08:13]What you and I do is thrilling, but it's not the only thrill, kiddo. Just as the character of Larkin has opened new doors for Jewel, Molly hopes that playing more mature roles like Jewel will open new career doors for herself. This role was a real challenge for me. Um certainly the most passionate and the most uh sexy part that I've ever played.

[00:08:33]And uh I'm always looking for different things to do in my work and this was definitely a real challenge for me.

[00:08:39]Who's she?

[00:08:41]Gave her up for you.

[00:08:46]She's pretty. Well, that's the way I like them.

[00:08:51]What's her name? Oh, let's not get into that.

[00:08:54]>> Tell me her name.

[00:08:54]>> Jewel, it doesn't matter.

[00:08:55]>> What's her name? Jewel. What is her name?

[00:08:57]>> Come on, it doesn't >> What is her name? Will you be quiet, Alice? What's her name? WHAT THE HELL is wrong with you? Her.

[00:09:02]You know, I bring you here to show you what I'm interested in, what I'm thinking about. You don't care about that, do you?

[00:09:06]Well, I don't know anything about designing things or signs or anything like that.

[00:09:09]>> start learning a thing or two.

[00:09:11]What you and I do is thrilling, but it's not the only thrill, kiddo. Oh, call me kiddo, big college man.

[00:09:16]>> your voice down, okay?

[00:09:16]>> Well, why'd you bring me here IF YOU'RE SO ASHAMED OF ME?

[00:09:19]>> SO, why'd you bring me here?

[00:09:20]>> I want you here. Well, then why'd you bring me here in the daytime instead of the middle of THE NIGHT LIKE SOMEBODY'S [ __ ] THIS IS HOW passionate and how urgent everything can be and she's the catalyst to allow that to happen. Just keeps getting more and more and it just get you get on a roller coaster and it takes off and you're on for the ride. Nothing you can do about it. And by the end you're either thrown up or you're exhilarated and I think a little both has happened to our boy by the end.

[00:09:46]Just consider the possibility that you're being led down some little path here.

[00:09:50]Whether it's true or not, it doesn't matter cuz I'm crazy about her.

[00:09:55]You're not crazy about her.

[00:09:56]>> I am. No, you think you are.

[00:09:58]You tell me the difference. For the first time in his life it's like the brain goes out the door and it's everything is very physical and and I think that baffles Workman's whole world he leaves behind going, "What are you doing? You're nuts. You've got everything up ahead of you and you're just throwing it all away on this this thing."

[00:10:15]It's like, "I don't care."

[00:10:18]You know, that's what makes great love, doesn't it? I mean, you just don't care about anything else.

[00:10:23]I don't know.

[00:10:24]It always gets me in trouble, anyway.

[00:10:27]>> [music] >> Molly Ringwald Sometimes I can go through a whole deck of cards and tell which ones are red and which ones are black.

[00:10:33]Andrew McCarthy How do you do that?

[00:10:37]>> [music] >> Through my heat.

[00:10:39]He wasn't born rich, but he was about to marry the right girl. [music] My daughter and the mat to their engagement.

[00:10:48]And made you come quickly.

[00:10:51]>> [music and singing] >> All he had to do was forget about Jewel.

[00:10:58]>> [music] >> Molly Ringwald, Andrew McCarthy >> [music and singing] >> I mean, Adam was an incredibly handsome man and he was an indescribably beautiful woman. So, where did all you ugly people come from?

[00:11:21]>> Hey. Hey.

[00:11:22]Three generations gathered to celebrate a birthday. Is that your baby sister?

[00:11:26]Who else you know, Warren Beatty? But it became a celebration [music] of life.

[00:11:30]Hi, Daddy. How you feeling?

[00:11:32]>> Oh, I feel great. Just seeing you makes me feel good. Between youth and age, [music] >> Good morning, sir. Sir?

[00:11:38]Sir, didn't you ever see Leave It to Beaver? I'm doing Eddie Haskell. there's a gift of [music] understanding.

[00:11:43]>> And as the sun was setting, they cast the bodies to the water. They built huge bonfires on the beach.

[00:11:49]Then the men would light the tips of their arrows in the bonfires and shoot them at the ship.

[00:11:55]Rocket Gibraltar. Who says we should fix up the [music] Rocket Gibraltar and give it to Grandpa for his birthday? All in favor of fixing up this cruddy boat for Grandpa's birthday, raise their hand.

[00:12:05]They all grew [music] a little closer.

[00:12:07]You're the top.

[00:12:09]You're on my show.

[00:12:10]Honey, you're beautiful. But don't sing.

[00:12:12]>> [laughter] >> Some grew a little older. I think she's sexy. Who I know, Agnes? Uh-huh. I wouldn't throw her out of bed. Yeah, you got the top bunk.

[00:12:21]And others found out [music] they'd never grown up at all. Which do you prefer, Ring Dings or Orange Milanos?

[00:12:28]Orange Milanos. All good here.

[00:12:31]>> [laughter] >> Cut show!

[00:12:34]Do you remember when Dad caught her in the barn with the four basketball players? I thought that was you.

[00:12:43]Oh, that's no excuse. The [music] writer doesn't speak English? I mean, you can't speak English. Hold on a minute, I got to change gears.

[00:12:50]A family is the past, the present, and the future rolled into one. Nothing so good as a midnight pee in the ocean.

[00:13:00]Nothing [music] is ever lost when the end meets the beginning.

[00:13:05]Columbia Pictures presents Burt Lancaster in Rocket Gibraltar.

[00:13:18]Dear James, hope you meant it when you said wish you were here cuz I'm coming to Japan.

[00:13:23]Ready to get ready now, go cat go, but don't you step on my blue suede shoes.

[00:13:33]Maybe you can help me. I'm [music] looking for a place to stay. Do you speak English?

[00:14:14]Spotlight on spring '89.

[00:14:20]October's lead title, Punchline, plunges Tom Hanks [music] and Sally Field into turmoil as a brilliant comic and a suburban housewife who've both fallen for something serious, comedy.

[00:14:39]Well, let's see. We just got these x-rays back from the lab. LET'S TAKE A LOOK.

[00:14:47]PUNCHLINE IS ABOUT A VERY NEUROTIC, very brilliant young man who is a medical school dropout. But what good does it do, Mr. Gold, to allow someone with no talent for it to treat people with life-threatening ailments?

[00:15:02]Well, it will cut down on the number of people with life-threatening ailments.

[00:15:06]Another game is double up on the medication. This is You take the pill and you put it on your tongue and when they come around to check up on you, you insist it wasn't in the cup. It wasn't in the cup.

[00:15:17]And you're a nurse? I'm just guessing.

[00:15:20]>> [laughter] >> A sponge bath from this woman would really be paradise.

[00:15:25]Stephen and I think in in real life there's two types of people. Those who laugh and those who make people laugh.

[00:15:32]And those that who make people laugh are a very small select group who are almost gift from God. This is Steven's point of view. Can anybody be a superhero? Table Man.

[00:15:43]He solves crimes at dinner for four. Big Lady. Criminal flee.

[00:15:52]>> [music] >> All right. Huh? I'm Layla. Huh? I'm a really big fan of yours. I watch you all the time. Maybe you could watch me sometime and give me some pointers.

[00:16:00]Sure. You're right. Now I have to go clean my fish tank.

[00:16:04]Punchline is also about a New Jersey housewife, mother of three who's in the process of ruining her family life in the pursuit of her dream of becoming a stand-up comic. I need lunch money. Uh I need money, too.

[00:16:18]>> old is it? It's uh Where It was my money. I saved it. Where is it? I spent it.

[00:16:27]On what?

[00:16:31]Jokes. Layla just recently has decided that her dream is to be a stand-up comic and she's been doing it for 13 weeks.

[00:16:39]She's very new and she wants it.

[00:16:42]Something she's always wanted to do and just now in her life has decided to to reach for it.

[00:16:49]I'm Layla and I'm a housewife. I'll admit to that and I I live in New Jersey.

[00:16:57]So you see I'll admit to anything.

[00:16:59]>> [laughter] >> How does this decision to to change my life and from this nice little mother to to really a nightclub existence, how does that affect my my family? Basically they go nuts. We're moving.

[00:17:15]I'm interested as a writer in people in crisis.

[00:17:20]And stand-up comedians are in a continual state of crisis. How do you get off treating people like this all the time, huh? You know, I don't see your name up in lights over there.

[00:17:29]So what if you're funny? Everything's a great big joke to you.

[00:17:33]>> [snorts] >> Wait.

[00:17:35]>> [clears throat] >> Nothing is a joke to me.

[00:17:38]That's why I do stand-up comedy.

[00:17:41]And that's why you don't.

[00:17:42]>> The relationship that my character Lila has with Steven, the Tom Hanks character, are very symbiotic. They both need each other for different reasons.

[00:17:51]And they both help each other in different ways. Come on, you're going to learn now. Come on.

[00:17:56]I can't do it. IT'S JUST SOMETHING COME ON!

[00:17:58]LILA HAS A breakthrough in her stand-up, in her comedy, when the Tom Hanks character makes her throw away her bad material and makes her get up and talk to the people and takes her to three or four clubs and talk to them, relate to to them, and find out where her own sense of comedy is.

[00:18:16]>> But trust me on this, when your life is funny. Murray, what do you do for a living? I'm an insurance salesman.

[00:18:20]You're an insurance salesman?

[00:18:23]>> [music] >> Uh, did you ever Did you ever want to be anything else? Come on, think back.

[00:18:27]Think back with me. You're a small child, you're dressing up, it's Halloween. You know, all the other boys are firemen, they're Batman, and cute little Murray, whose mother adores him, is a insurance salesman.

[00:18:40]Murray, this can't be true. What? You dressed up in a polyester suit? You handed out cards with your name on it?

[00:18:45]Huh? Huh?

[00:18:46]It is an incredible sense >> [cheering] >> of power and accomplishment when you are in front of 300 people and you are making them laugh and they are listening to everything you say and everything you say works perfectly and every joke you hit is timed absolutely and every routine goes off exactly as you are hoping for.

[00:19:02]That's an incredible thing.

[00:19:06]Thank you.

[00:19:07]What? DO YOU HAVE A QUESTION? Your hand has been up as long as I've been here.

[00:19:12]A funny thing happened to Steven Gold on the way to becoming a heart surgeon.

[00:19:18]Mr. Gold.

[00:19:20]Oh, was this on the prep sheet?

[00:19:22]A funny thing happened to Layla Kritzky on the way to cooking dinner for her husband. I want to learn. Lady, it takes every night. Six bulbs a night, all night.

[00:19:32]>> Wonder Woman flew an INVISIBLE JET. HOW DID SHE FIND IT? DID SHE STUMBLE AROUND THE RUNWAY TILL SHE GOT LUCKY? OH, HERE IT IS. COME ON.

[00:19:40]>> I JUST CAN'T do it. It's just SOMETHING I CAN'T COME ON. SALLY FIELD. OH, ROBIN.

[00:19:44]THAT'S FUNNY. He thinks I'm funny. Tom Hanks. I don't mess around with funny.

[00:19:49]Punchline.

[00:19:51]Dying is easy. Comedy is hard.

[00:19:54]What's that mean?

[00:19:56]I was hoping you would know.

[00:19:58]>> [laughter] >> Once upon a weekend, an ordinary shoeshine man was asked to put himself in somebody else's shoes.

[00:20:19]>> Someone must confess to the crime. And a guy in hot water was given a second chance.

[00:20:25]>> Don, you stick with this guy like glue for the whole weekend. What do you want to do? We'll do something, huh? Hit any of me, I should not leave it this day.

[00:20:33]There is no they. I am they. Things were looking up.

[00:21:19]The way of the ninja is a world of mystery, and only the best can master its secrets. Now, a new strength has joined the competition.

[00:21:28]>> Representing the United States of America, Sean Cunningham. You made the cover of Inside Karate this month. This Cunningham is [music] in our way. He is ninja. Thrust into a dangerous arena of double dealing, the champion must now become a warrior, and prove himself faster, stronger, braver than a force of super ninja.

[00:21:51]And more powerful than any who have come before.

[00:21:59]It's time for action.

[00:22:12]>> [groaning and screaming] >> Steve James, Marjoe Gortner, [music] and introducing David Bradley as the American Ninja. Now, the power is IN HIS HANDS.

[00:22:35]An angry specter [music] resurrected from the past with the power to invade the present.

[00:22:44]THERE'S SOMETHING SCREWY HERE.

[00:22:48]IT KNOWS YOU'RE AFRAID. Is anyone there?

[00:22:56]And it knows how to lure you into its deadly trap.

[00:23:06]You won't leave the tower alive.

[00:23:13]>> [screaming] >> Its force is built on a savage foundation of fear.

[00:23:24]It's no use.

[00:23:26]It's waiting for us.

[00:23:29]You will not escape.

[00:23:32]It means to kill. Because its ultimate weapon is sheer terror.

[00:23:45]>> [music] >> What are you doing here?

[00:24:02]>> [screaming] >> Dark tower.

[00:24:19]Spotlight on spring 89.

[00:24:24]November's headliner won't just burn, it will blaze, flare, and rage, searing memories and consciences as it exposes the racial tensions of America's deep south in the 60s.

[00:24:38]Mississippi Burning Mississippi Burning, nominated for seven Academy Awards including Best Picture of the Year.

[00:24:54]Best Actor, Gene Hackman.

[00:24:56]Best Director, Alan Parker Mississippi Burning nominated for seven Academy Awards.

[00:25:07]Gene Hackman, Willem Dafoe Mississippi Burning On a June night in 1964 on a country road in Mississippi three young men suddenly vanished.

[00:25:31]Their disappearance was a flashpoint in a summer of freedom and violence.

[00:25:37]A new motion picture, Mississippi Burning is based on that mystery.

[00:25:42]Directed by Alan Parker who made the Oscar-winning Midnight Express it stars Gene Hackman and Willem Dafoe as FBI investigators. Well, wait.

[00:25:52]They're as different as different as can be. I mean, Hackman plays Rupert Anderson and say he's an ex-Southern sheriff. He's from Mississippi. Dafoe is a college graduate, a Yale Law School graduate from the East.

[00:26:05]>> Come on.

[00:26:07]Say, uh you going to watch your boy on on this?

[00:26:09]Sheriff I'm Special Agent Ward and I'm in charge of this case.

[00:26:15]We think it might be a little more serious than missing persons. He's very much involved with the Kennedy way of doing things. He's very much best and the brightest. You admire these kids, don't you?

[00:26:27]Some things are worth dying for.

[00:26:29]People down here feel some things are worth killing for. That's one of the fascinating things about the film, I think, is is the fact that you have two characters who trying to achieve [clears throat] the same end and yet having wanting to go about it in two different ways. I was really struck by this character, Alan Ward. He's uh something of a crusader. Uh you know.

[00:26:52]He's uh self-righteous, I suppose you can sometimes think. Maybe you even think he's arrogant.

[00:26:59]We're having a little trouble with the motel manager.

[00:27:02]What kind of trouble? Well, he wants us out. He says we're bad for business.

[00:27:07]Buy it.

[00:27:09]Sorry, sir.

[00:27:11]Buy it.

[00:27:12]The motel.

[00:27:14]Well, how high can I go?

[00:27:16]Whatever it takes.

[00:27:18]That's what happens when a very principled man comes up against unbridled violence.

[00:27:24]We'll handle this. We don't need your damn help.

[00:27:28]It ain't right having blood on Main Street.

[00:27:31]How'd that look on the TV news? Alan Parker was in school in London when the crimes that inspired Mississippi Burning took place. Our idealized America was untarnished. Suddenly I think that we were suddenly realizing that America wasn't just the America of Hollywood, and there was an enormous amount I didn't know particularly about this subject. Uh and about the whole civil rights movement in general. So we steeped ourself in as much information as we possibly could.

[00:27:59]We dug out this old black and white footage of a cameraman uh actually being punched, which never found its way onto the news, I assume because it's it was too violent. It also it involved the news cameraman himself.

[00:28:14]Today in Jessup County, Mississippi, the eyes of the nation have been firmly fixed on the search for the three missing civil rights workers.

[00:28:22]Well, I've tried to interweave real media involvement in the story.

[00:28:27]Uh to just to give a little more reality and truth of the times. Well, I think it's all big hoax, but if they are in that ass hole, then they asked for it. Whether it's the look of the film or whether it's music, whether it's sound, whether it's acting, in the end it's got to be pure cinema.

[00:28:44]So you You to actually put a lot as much attention as you can into all those areas.

[00:28:49]Okay, papa.

[00:28:52]I'm going to go to the phone.

[00:28:54]You just cracked your head, son.

[00:28:56]You just keep on bleeding. Don't you go dying on me now.

[00:29:00]You hear me?

[00:29:03]You're going to be just fine.

[00:29:05]The power of of music with a visual image when it works well, is incredible.

[00:29:12]Uh as is the most delicate quiet spoken moment between two people.

[00:29:17]Maybe I should have picked something more appropriate.

[00:29:19]Maybe.

[00:29:21]One tries to uh to give the audience an experience that uh they're not normally getting with the run-of-the-mill movies.

[00:29:30]>> [singing] >> We don't take to outsiders telling us how to live our lives.

[00:29:47]The mystery. They had us scared to death, man. Don't you call me man, boy.

[00:29:52]There are three dead kids out there, so you better get used to having us around.

[00:29:56]I AM SICK AND TIRED OF GOING TO THE funerals of black men.

[00:30:00]The conspiracy. First one opens his mouth and dead. Shut up.

[00:30:04]>> The secret. What's missing is the 15 minutes outside of his with his wife.

[00:30:09]Your husband says that he's with you.

[00:30:11]They are powerless against us IF EVERY SINGLE ANGLO-SAXON ONE OF US STANDS TOGETHER.

[00:30:19]HATRED ISN'T SOMETHING YOU'RE born with.

[00:30:21]It gets taught.

[00:30:22]The investigation. Did you smile when the photos were taken of the BLACK KID'S BODY?

[00:30:29]GENE HACKMAN, WILLEM DAFOE Mississippi Burning.

[00:30:37]When Don Johnson hit the airwaves as Sonny Crockett in Miami Vice, he made Friday night television an event. But this brash, sexy megastar is first, last, and always a dedicated actor. And he still maintains the actor's commitment to ensemble work.

[00:30:54]I like the idea of a group of people converging on a on a project or an objective and and pooling all our resources and making it work.

[00:31:03]These days, Don Johnson is making it work on the big screen in a new movie called Sweethearts Dance. Starring Don Johnson, Susan Sarandon, Jeff Daniels, and Elizabeth Perkins is a new film from TriStar Pictures that takes a funny, tender, and sometimes painful look at two couples. One falling in love while the other is falling out.

[00:31:27]Remember that girl you were crazy about in high school? The gorgeous one with the fire in her eyes? Well, Wylie Boone married her. Wylie, do you remember that dress that my mom made, the the white one with the pink sash for the prom? Did you like that?

[00:31:41]Oh, yeah. I loved it. All 43 buttons of it.

[00:31:46]I don't think that Wylie is any different than anybody in the '80s.

[00:31:50]Wylie is a person that's uh looking for um some meaning and some passion in his relationship and his life.

[00:32:00]I think that's something that we all share.

[00:32:03]Help. Take her back.

[00:32:05]Happy.

[00:32:06]What's the [snorts] matter?

[00:32:08]I want to break up with Sandy.

[00:32:10]Sam and Wylie are best friends, inseparable since childhood. Came home.

[00:32:15]Now that Sam's head over heels in love, it's enough to make Wylie sick. I'm thankful for everything that's happened.

[00:32:22]It's made it possible for me to meet you.

[00:32:25]Thankful I'm so close to the bathroom.

[00:32:26]I'm going to throw up.

[00:32:29]You want to get married?

[00:32:31]No.

[00:32:33]No?

[00:32:35]What Sam loves about Addy, I think, is uh that she's a lot of things that he isn't. She's exciting.

[00:32:43]She has opinions.

[00:32:44]She's intelligent. And that's exciting to a guy from a small town. Everything's the same color.

[00:32:50]I don't think I understand. I mean, does the sun come through your bathing suit or or something?

[00:32:58]And what's your mother say about this?

[00:33:03]She tells me to wear sunscreen. For me, it's all about the beginnings and endings of relationships and and the changes that you go through. I'm always afraid [music] I'm going to run into him or afraid I'm not going to run into him.

[00:33:15]I just don't know what to say anymore.

[00:33:18]Why don't you say whatever you want?

[00:33:21]What do I want?

[00:33:23]I want to go to the Caribbean.

[00:33:25]That could be fun.

[00:33:26]Sweethearts Dance is really just about learning how to live with each other.

[00:33:31]And learning about love.

[00:33:33]Falling in love, that's the easy part.

[00:33:37]Making it last, that's the story of Sweethearts Dance.

[00:33:40]>> This isn't funny.

[00:33:42]Well, it's not unfunny. THIS IS NOT FUNNY.

[00:33:47]WHAT ABOUT THIS? THIS ISN'T FUNNY. HEY, JOHN.

[00:33:51]MY ARM. DANNY, YOU'RE STANDING THERE, HONEY. You're not moving. We need help.

[00:33:56]GO GET HELP.

[00:34:00]STOP.

[00:34:01]I like that. I like that show. Let's score Lifetime.

[00:34:05]Boom Town Manners Town. This is kind of an important one, isn't it? Go. We're waiting to see what you're thankful for, Sam. Thankful for everything that's happened in the last 4 billion years that's made it possible for me to meet you. Thankful I'm so close to the bathroom I'm going to throw up.

[00:34:22]>> [music] >> We don't kiss very much anymore.

[00:34:26]I know.

[00:34:27]You're improving the quality of my life.

[00:34:29]I'm glad I didn't know you before this.

[00:34:32]You don't miss her?

[00:34:34]He really loves you, Sandy.

[00:34:35]Oh.

[00:34:36]The other kind of muffin. He really misses you and he's very upset. I didn't miss him the whole last year when we weren't making muffins.

[00:34:44]Now I can understand why the whole world is mad at me.

[00:34:47]Why are you mad at me? We're talking about Sandy. Do you remember Sandy?

[00:34:51]I used to like being married. I was happy. I was always so happy.

[00:34:57]>> [music] >> And when I was sad, I was only half as sad.

[00:35:01]Thanks for cheering me up, Wylie.

[00:35:04]What do you think about the idea of marriage? Anyway, [music] I mean, as a concept. It's okay. You want to get married?

[00:35:10]No. I want to go to the Caribbean.

[00:35:13]That would be fun. I didn't say I wanted any part of your body touching any part of mine. I just said I wanted to go.

[00:35:19]Why does she want to go to the Caribbean all of a sudden? I don't know.

[00:35:23]Maybe she's cold.

[00:35:27]>> [music] >> I want to sleep.

[00:35:29]Wait, wait, wait, wait. Wait a minute.

[00:35:30]No, I'm sorry. I can't.

[00:35:32]This is so depressing. Hi, Sandy. Hi, Sam.

[00:35:36]We didn't have sex or anything like that. Well, then what's my wife doing in your bed? I wanted to have sex with him, but he didn't want to. Why not? What's wrong with him?

[00:35:45]>> [music] >> Some of the best times of my life have been with you guys.

[00:35:52]We're doing okay. I just want us to do better.

[00:35:57]>> [music] >> Do you renounce Satan?

[00:36:14]I do renounce him.

[00:36:20]I confirm you, Amy Bridget Halloran, as a soldier of Christ.

[00:36:29]Hello, Amy.

[00:36:31]I'm sorry. Did I scare you?

[00:36:46]>> [screaming] >> Where's the boy?

[00:37:03]No what?

[00:37:05]NO WHAT?

[00:37:07]I'll kill that man.

[00:37:10]Now, you mustn't say things like that.

[00:37:12]I was saying things like that before you were born.

[00:37:17]I want a printout of that tape I can read. I can't.

[00:37:21]They fired me.

[00:37:23]>> [music] >> You'll just have to think of a way around that, dear, huh?

[00:37:26]I suggest you keep an eye out for the following: National, General, and Bank.

[00:37:37]When can the boy and I leave?

[00:37:39]When it's over.

[00:37:40]When everything's over.

[00:37:42]Tell us a story.

[00:37:44]Tell us about the good times.

[00:37:47]When the princess wore a giraffe skin coat and drank wine that tasted like a frosty day. [music] Frosty morning.

[00:37:55]I'm the governor. He's the bellman.

[00:37:57]That's all you need to know.

[00:38:04]Will it work?

[00:38:06]Yes.

[00:38:07]It'll work.

[00:38:08]And it'll get you in. You're crazy. This is not possible.

[00:38:10]>> Well, you're going to make it possible, aren't you, Ella? That's why you're here. That's why you're coming.

[00:38:15]What about your man, the the bellman?

[00:38:17]>> THE BELLMAN ISN'T COMING.

[00:38:20]YOUR DAD, HE MIGHT COME back tomorrow, or he might not.

[00:38:25]If he does come back, I don't want you to tell him anything you've heard.

[00:38:31]CAN WE GET OUT?

[00:38:33]YOU CAN'T EXPECT ME TO GO IN THERE.

[00:38:39]He's got the gun.

[00:39:06]She's hospitable. Get out.

[00:47:19]Join us next time for RCA/Columbia Pictures Hoyts Video Spotlight on Summer '89-'90.

[00:47:26]>> [music] [music] [music] >> Welcome to RCA/Columbia Pictures Hoyts Video [music] Spotlight on Spring '89.

[00:47:52]>> [music] >> During this edition of Spotlight, you'll be glued to your seats as you witness an entire town being slimed by The Blob.

[00:48:01]Share laughter and tears with Tom [music] Hanks and Sally Field in the hilarious comedy Punchline. And Gene Hackman and Willem Dafoe will shock [music] you in the controversial seven-time Oscar nominated Mississippi Burning. [music] >> [music] >> Leading the lineup for September is a lively, grizzly, high-tech monster movie with multi-million dollar special effects. The Blob is now [music] meaner, faster, and much much bigger.

[00:48:45]It's been 30 years since that original cult classic The Blob starring Steve [music] McQueen burst onto the screen.

[00:48:55]Do you pull towards you? Now, thanks to the talents of writer-director Chuck Russell, we're about to meet a new Blob, a Blob like we've never seen before.

[00:49:15]I'm a thrill junkie myself. I can't resist uh the temptation to scare the hell out of people.

[00:49:22]Uh it's one of the strongest human emotions, and it's thrilling to face that emotion.

[00:49:31]I think one of the um the attractive things about horror films is going in for this this roller coaster ride. It can be a real catharsis. It's like buy your ticket and hop on the roller coaster and just be pulled here and pulled there and and it It takes you for a ride.

[00:49:53]>> [music] [music] >> This is not Darth Vader. It's something that spreads and grows and is unstoppable. And it can just eat and eat and eat people and it keeps growing.

[00:50:12]What answer?

[00:50:13]That's part of what happens to you when you get engulfed by the Blob. You get You suffocate and you dissolve.

[00:50:20]And I I imagine the Blob [music] to be green. Actually, the Blob is a pink color. It eats bodies and the more blood it gets into it, it gets redder and redder. It starts out entirely clear and turns red throughout the movie.

[00:50:35]I like that concept.

[00:50:38]This Blob is quick. It could snap and it can get you any moment. And this thing is full of life and very energetic and can nail you just like that. You You never quite know where it's coming from. And this thing doesn't have a voice and it really doesn't make a noise. So it could be creeping up on you anywhere, you know. And that's the scary thing. I mean, you could just see like a a trail of slime somewhere, but you don't know WHERE HE IS.

[00:51:04]>> [screaming] >> AND WE'RE CUT! ALTHOUGH RUSSELL UPDATED THE film for the 1980s, certain key scenes from the original were left intact. There were a couple of images people had from this movie. Like the theater scene, just the idea of showing the audience themselves and saying, "What would you do?" If you turned around and looked at the back of the projection booth is a ton and a half of enraged slime coming at you.

[00:51:30]There are one or two other moments from the original that we we referred to, but it's not an The film is not an homage. I think we're true to the spirit of the original.

[00:51:38]Uh but we have our own characters.

[00:51:43]I'll blow you out of your shoes, boy.

[00:51:45]Characters [music] that must convince the citizens of their small town that they're being invaded by an indestructible monster. [music] Think for a minute.

[00:51:55]Do you suppose an army of guys in plastic suits show up every time a meteor falls?

[00:51:59]I always wanted to be able to take modern technology and apply it to that and take uh a group of characters in a small town and put them in a crucible with an ultimate evil and let our imaginations run wild. And in fact, Jack Harris, who produced the original, said "You guys have got The Blob doing everything we always wanted it to do when we first made it. I think I may have gotten it out of my system."

[00:52:24]If it had a mind, you could reason with it.

[00:52:29]If it had a face, you could look it in the eye.

[00:52:36]If it had a body, you could shoot it.

[00:52:44]Now, man is no longer the supreme being on this planet.

[00:52:51]The organism is growing at a geometric rate. By all accounts, >> [music] >> it's at least a thousand times its original mass.

[00:52:58]Nobody believes me about what happened to me.

[00:53:01]>> [music] >> What did happen?

[00:53:07]I want that organism alive.

[00:53:12]I think you pissed it off.

[00:53:24]>> [screaming] >> THE BLOB.

[00:53:28]TERROR HAS no shape.

[00:53:37]At age 13, Molly Ringwald made her film debut in The Tempest, a performance for which he was nominated for the coveted Golden Globe Award.

[00:53:45]Since then, she has continued to affirm her talent and versatility as an actress in a successful series of sensitive teen roles.

[00:53:53]Now, in Fresh Horses, a Wine Cellar Entertainment presentation, Molly stars in her most mature, sensual, and challenging role to date. Sometimes I can go through a whole [music] deck of cards and tell which ones are red and which ones are black.

[00:54:08]From the back?

[00:54:10]Yeah.

[00:54:12]How do you do that?

[00:54:15]Do it by heat.

[00:54:28]Can we go now?

[00:54:30]I think Fresh Horses is about um passion.

[00:54:34]Um I think everybody has one experience in their life that will never be like any other experience again. You know, some relationship, you know, something that's so passionate and so wonderful that it could never last, never work. I mean, maybe that's cynical, but um I I would say it's just about about love.

[00:54:55]Molly plays the [music] intriguingly seductive Jewel, a woman who comes from the wrong side of the tracks and is trapped in a world of false promises and dreams of escape. That is until Matt Larkin, played by Andrew McCarthy, walks into her life.

[00:55:10]There always experiences in your life where you're going this way and then there's certain person you meet or an experience that all of a sudden your life is going this way and there's nothing you can do about it, you know? And yet happens everyone I think in some degree.

[00:55:24]And that's what happens to this guy in the movie. You know, I bring you here to show you what I'm interested in, what I'm thinking about. You don't care about that, do you? Well, I don't know anything about designing things or signs or anything like that.

[00:55:34]>> We all have to start learning a thing or two.

[00:55:36]What you and I do is thrilling, but it's not the only thrill, kiddo. Just as the character of Larkin has opened new doors for Jewel, Molly hopes that playing more mature roles like Jewel will open new career doors for herself. This role was a real challenge for me. Um certainly the most passionate and the most uh sexy part that I've ever played.

[00:55:56]And uh I'm always looking for different things to do in my work, and this was definitely a real challenge for me.

[00:56:02]Who's she?

[00:56:04]Give her up for you.

[00:56:09]She's pretty. Well, that's the way I like them.

[00:56:15]What's her name? Oh, let's not get into that.

[00:56:17]>> Tell me her name.

[00:56:17]>> Jewel, it doesn't matter.

[00:56:18]>> name? Jewel. What is her name?

[00:56:20]>> Come on, it doesn't >> What is her name? Will you be quiet?

[00:56:22]ALICE IS HER NAME. WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU? HER.

[00:56:25]You know, I bring you here to show you what I'm interested in, what I'm thinking about. You don't care about that, do you?

[00:56:29]Well, I don't know anything about designing things or science or anything like that.

[00:56:32]>> start learning a thing or two.

[00:56:35]What you and I do is thrilling, but it's not the only thrill, kiddo. Oh, call me kiddo, big college man.

[00:56:39]>> your voice down, okay?

[00:56:40]>> Well, why'd you bring me here if you're so ashamed of me? I am not.

[00:56:42]So, why'd you bring me here?
