Why are they called The Breakfast Club?

Just to un-hijack the thread for a moment, weren’t they called the Breakfast Club because they had to come in early to serve their time?

The Canadian movie Who Has Seen the Wind was set in my home town, Weyburn, Saskatchewan. It was called ‘Crocus’ in the book by W. O. Mitchell, but shot in some small town not far away because Weyburn didn’t look like the 1930s any more. I guess that’s as close to fame as I can get.

I’ve had a segment on national, prime-time TV. Does that count?

In the late 80’s-early 90’s, I used to dance on Electric Circus at CityTV in Toronto, and was treated to intimate shows with the likes of Ice-T and bouncy French-Canadian Mitsou.

:runs and hides in shame:

To get back on topic, the reason that detention was called the breakfast club at the daughter’s friend’s high school was that it was at 7:00 AM or so, rather than the weekend. The school in question is New Trier High School in Winnetka, IL. My alma mater and one district over from Glanbrook North, where John Hughes went.

Well, my brother has a full face shot in the beginning of “Slackers” as he walks across from right to left in the very beginning. His face fills the screen.
So there!!

Yeah? Well, my brush with fame –
Bah, forget about it… It’s not nearly so cool when your spouse (and sometimes you) work in the film industry.

Oo! Oo! Although said Sniffs_Markers was the “foot double” for an actor who couldn’t drive stick shift (and they had to film feet waling around the car, getting in, etc.). She was on set and was the only one who fit his exact shoe size. So she actually got screen time! Yep, yep! Sniffs’s feet will be famous!!! :cool:

My ex used to hang out with Madonna, back in her “wild days”. Ah, the stories…

I was in Major League. 'Course it was one of the crowd scenes, but I’m famous!

29

Oh, I forgot about that. They filmed Major League 2 at Oriole Park at Camden Yards (in Baltimore) and my husband and I are in some crowd scenes! We were there for a game and they got a bunch of live crowd shots. Can’t actually see us though…
