I was watching some more 80’s music videos when all of a sudden I spotted a familiar face. Let’s see if you recognize her:
I even went out to check Wikipedia to be sure. That’s Virgina Madsen, who I had a massive crush on after I saw her in “Electric Dreams“. If there was ever a movie to give a nerdy young man hope, that was it: a geeky architect fights his amorous computer to woo a gorgeous cellist! I mean really! Miles Harding was the Man! Evidently she did the Kenny Loggins video before “Electric Dreams”, but it was all around the same time period. Heck, I even named my first car Madeline after her character. I think I’ve shared this before, but I’ll share it again:
Steven Boodry introduced me to that one. It remains one of my favorites–I had to hunt it down on VHS just to make sure I could have it when I wanted to watch it.
I have the stunning genuine Chinese DVD copy. (near VHS quality!) Waiting for the day this classic is re-released in a modern remastered format. Sounds like when you’re in the Poky area we need to have a movie party!
That’d be a blast! We’d also have to listen to your Jean Michel Jarre Rendesvous Houston album again. I don’t know if it was the volume and the acoustics of your room or the late hour or what, but listening to that at the Chamber Choir party at your house was a visceral experience I haven’t forgotten.
