Better Off Dead
Did kids in 1985 "get" Better Off Dead? John Cusack wouldn't become a teen beau ideal until 1989's Say Anything..., and here his combination loser/geek/skiing rivet might come off as hard to relate to.
I don't get it on, I static love this movie, with its flakey tangents/dream sequences, such as when Cusack's Lane crafts an animatronic, Van Halen-rocking hamburger during his parttime job.

The rocker tells America's USA Today newspaper, "Her (Minogue) singing is amazing, and mine isn't so good yet."
Martin plans to keep working on the track and release it as a single some time in 2009.
