Love is in the air. Beautiful, delicate, unstoppable, wafting, pure, white love. Nope, I'm thinking of snow.
I don't remember finding it in poor taste that SpaceCamp came out just a few months after the Challenger disaster in 1986 but then again I found that Need Another Seven Astronauts joke pretty funny too. Children are terrible, terrible people.
Compare and contrast that to the Chernobyl Diaries from last year, which some people were uncomfortable with even though the Chernobyl disaster was also back in 1986. Of course SpaceCamp wasn't based on Challenger, it was just poorly timed. Yet misfortune continued to follow the cast throughout 1986:
Lea Thompson - Starred in Howard the Duck right after George Lucas's talent was murdered by Fuzzball from Captain EO.
Kelly Preston - Married Kevin Gage and not the love of her life, John Travolta.
Tom Skerritt - Was in Top Gun.
Terry O'Quinn made out pretty good though. He got the title role in The Stepfather which later led to Pin. Those two movies were part of Terry O'Quinn Father Roles Movie Night, which we watched right after Levi was born. This is his first appearance since that night so maybe Terry O'Quinn is a baby harbinger.
The director of Black Samurai was murdered by his contractor in 1995 and buried in his newly remodeled bathroom. So his 1986 was pretty good too.
Here's what happened last week:
