WEIRD SCIENCE

WEIRD SCIENCE
   1) Comic. COMICS; EC COMICS.
   2) Film (1985). Universal. Written/dir John Hughes, starring Anthony Michael Hall, Kelly LeBrock, Ilan Mitchell-Smith, Bill Paxton. 94 mins. Colour.
   A pair of teenage nerds feed pin-up-girl pictures to their computer, and it conjures up a sex goddess (LeBrock) who is nice to them and gives them moral lessons (rather as one might expect a scoutmaster to do). Finally they develop the courage to evict some bikers from a party, and win the hearts of two more appropriate teenage girls; the nasty older brother is turned into a monster, but the status quo is restored in time for the parents' return after a weekend away. Starting as sf, WS quickly turns to supernatural fantasy in which anything goes and nothing means much; its attitude towards all the women (some undressed against their will) is infantile. This was one of a series of sf teen movies made at around the same time (CINEMA), and perhaps the worst, though occasionally Hughes's real ability to observe teenage mores shows.
