Interesting coinsidence.

I first saw this movie when I was about 15 I believe, I loved it instantly.
I loved the character that slater played, and the fact that he and I shared the same first name always tickled me.
It wasn't until I saw it again a few years later that I noticed something else.
Not only do we have the same first name (Mark) but I missed before that we also have the same surname (Hunter)......Imagine then my surprise when I realised that his father (Brian) shares his name with my father (Brian Hunter).
Believing myself to be on a roll, I watched again to catch his mother's name, but alas, it wasn't the same. Still, I've always gotten a kick out of it.
I realise I'm probably the only dude who cares about this, but it does make me smile.

I think you are an idiot if you watched an entire movie and did not realize your name was the same as the character in the movie OR the name of the parents!
And you are an even bigger idiot to get on the web, admit it, and leave yourself wide open !

My suggestion is to head outside, and buy a lottery ticket.. immediately. This type of co-incidence MEANS something.
