Movie reviews: The Breakfast Club

a cigar burn on his arm given to him for spilling paint in the garage. Remind me never to go to Benders house with a paint can. It's my understanding that if you're a smoker then Christmas with the Benders is the place to be. Hey, a free carton of smokes is a free carton of smokes!

Bender obviously hates all the others reflected in his use of the term, "(potentially offensive term edited for your protection)" directed at the group. So how does he let all that hatred out?....by taking the gang on a field trip to his noose-bedazzled locker to retrieve some marijuana. They have a few close calls in the hallway maze with the obviously deaf and perephiral vision-challenged Principal Vernon. Bender decides to take one for the team when it appears there is no escape back to the library. He shoves about four pounds of pot down Brians pants then runs throught the halls singing an Airborne Ranger cadence for some reason. He could never have been an Airborne Ranger seeing as how his nostrils would never fit on any military aircraft.

Principal Vernon catches Bender in the gym where apparently they always keep one basketball and one random sneaker for people to put on. What is Vernons solution to this insolence? To stick Bender in a broom closet. I always thought Andrew would be more comfortable "in the closet" than Bender. Bender, being ever the criminal, escapes the closet through the heating ducts and ends up falling through the ceiling of the library right in the middle of his poodle/2 foot salami joke.
As Principal Vernon comes in to investigate the "ruckus", Bender is hiding under the desk betwixt Claires legs. Now to me this would be the equivalent of going back in time and hiding between my grandmas legs! It's just not right! Claire doth protests Benders inbetwixt-the-legitude and proceeds to pummel him. We proceed to all the "kids" getting high on Benders stash (I thought only burners got high, Claire! ) doing stupid footloosian dances in the library and revealing their innermost secrets as to why they're in detention. Claire is there because she cut school to go shopping. Bender's there because...well...he's Bender. Allyson is there because she doesn't have anything better to do, Brian is there because he had a flaregun in his locker and it went off! He was planning on killing himself with a flare gun! A flaregun! What the hell, Brian?! All because the dude got an F because he couldn't make a functional elephant lamp. All that physics clubbing he did and he couldn't
