FWIW, I’ve been through the “List[s] of people in Playboy” linked to here and can find no indication that Adrienne Barbeau ever posed for Playboy.
According to the esteemed website Boobpedia, there was never a pictorial, although she was at least referenced in one of their “Sex in the Cinema” articles in 1982. She apparently did pose for High Society however.

Speaking of del Toro, I was amazed at just how clever Pacific Rim was. Everything - the plot, the characters, the dilaogue - was so perfectly stylised to make the perfect live–action cartoon. I was expecting dumb but fun, I got smart and fun.
Well at least there’s 2 of us 
Frailty only had a single twist at the end.
First Austin Powers movie. I was convinced it was going to be shit, but it was a free preview so the theatre was packed. Laughed non stop.
BTW, read Fight Club, better than the movie with a better ending.
The author of Fight Club actually disagrees with you.
I doubt very much she posed for High Society. Back in the seventies, High Society’s gimmick was that it would print stills of celebrity nude scenes. So if Barbeau had done a nude scene anywhere in a movie or play, she would later appear in High Society without ever having intended to do so.
The Wolf of Wall Street; I was expecting an overlong, bloated, morality tale. What I got was a three hour laughter fest, brilliantly directed and with great performances from every actor. The second viewing, the following night, was just as amusing.
Clerks, when it first came out and before it developed a rep.
A couple of friends dragged me to it, when it hit the dollar theaters. I was really surprised at how much fun the movie was
Same here. When it first came out, I did not want to see it at all, ever.
In fact, I had my choice to see that one in the theater or Batman and Robin (which came out and was in the theaters around the same time—had to have been, since I had the choice between seeing those two). I chose to see Batman and Robin. How much that movie sucked.
I did finally see Austin Powers later on, when I was bored and nothing else was on…and I LOVED it. I laughed most of the time and have now seen it many times. I love it, along with the two sequels.
Among others, probably, for me it was Rocky Horror Picture Show. I had started watching it once but couldn’t sit through it (I think I left or shut it off when Frank was coming down in the elevator).
Anyway, in a different time and a different mood, I watched it all the way through and throughly enjoyed it the many times I have watched it since. I have also been to one theater performance but have never attended a midnight showing.

No shit. / said not sarcastically.
We saw the original play, and were bored to tears.
First, I want to thank you for this recommendation. I have three boxes of unsorted DVDs that I haven’t watched and was going through them with my wife, and when I saw this title I immediately put it in the ‘too dumb to watch’ category. Mrs. G suggested otherwise and based upon the 'Yes, dear" factor and your post, we watched it last night. It was pretty dang funny. Rather surprisingly so. It was weird to see John Cho playing any other role than that of the new Star Trek’s Hikaro Sulu.
Second, speaking of which, one of my best friends totally hated the new Star Trek and suggested I not watch it. However as a Trekker of the first generation, I felt it was my duty to watch it. It was great.
So, does Star Trek (2009) count? I know quite a few other old-school Trek fans who refused to even acknowledge its existence. I suppose if someone were to remake Star Wars - A New Hope, there would be quite a bit of outrage, so perhaps it is not too surprising that the new Trek was treated by some with all the regard as week old fish stew.
For a very recent example: The Amazing Spider Man 2. I started a thread here. I was shocked how much I enjoyed it after thinking the first one was not great but it looks like I was the only one.
Ohhhh, that “Yes, dear” factor; it can move mountains.
Yes! I told a buddy of mine, who loves to nitpick during the movies, to just go with it: “You can come up with a dozen different reasons they could use conventional weapons over hyper-expensive robots. But then you wouldn’t have a movie with robots vs monsters.”
That’s okay. I walked out of Star Trek: Nemesis declaring it to be the best Trek film since Wrath of Khan. My enthusiasm has, let’s just say, moderated significantly since then.
One I just thought of — Thursday, starring Thomas Jane, Aaron Eckhart, Paulina Porizkova, and Mickey Rourke. Seems like a strong cast now, but at the time (1998), I didn’t know most of them. It just came on some movie channel, and I was too lazy to change the station, so I watched it with no expectations whatever. Turned out to be very entertaining, though it won’t make any all-time lists.
