Actually, neither of these boys are in plastic much, it's almost always glass. And nothing is ever shaped like a bubble. Would The Boy in the Glass Cube not play as well? In reality the name comes from David Vetter and the press that dubbed him the boy in the plastic bubble:
Word is when he saw The Boy in the Plastic Bubble he laughed at its ridiculousness. Hopefully we'll do the same.
The Boy in the Plastic Bubble will be one of our few TV movies we've seen. V and Duel are the only ones I can think of right now. But I totally want to do a TV movie theme some day. I wish I had the Helen Hunt/PCP TV movie Desperate Lives:
The director of The Boy in the Plastic Bubble, Randal Kleiser, has made a lot of name movies for someone I've never heard of. Grease, Blue Lagoon, Flight of the Navigator, Big Top Pee-wee and Honey I Blew Up the Kid.
Speaking of TV, the director of Crystal Heart helmed episodes of B.J. and the Bear, The Fall Guy, Knight Rider and Automan. Remember Automan?:
The film stars Lee Curreri, whose film debut was that of the keyboard player in Fame:
That was from the TV show. In Crystal Heart he plays a keyboard player in a bubble. I'm guessing he's a keyboard player in real life. In fact, he's now a composer, most recently making the theme song to the new Elvira show:
He also pre-dated Big Fun by composing something called Teenage Suicide: Don't Try It! I sure wish I had a video here:
But perhaps most importantly, should have mentioned it earlier sorry, Crystal Heart stars Arcade Fire-hating Tawny Kitaen.
Here's what happened last week (NSFW for language):
