Throwback Thursday: “Real Genius” (1985)

Leave a comment

I remember seeing “Real Genius” in the theater in 1985.  Man, did I love it.

I don’t think anyone thinks of this movie when Val Kilmer’s name comes up — he’s more likely remembered as Jim Morrison, Batman or Doc Holiday.  But he was actually really funny here.  (And does anyone really want to remember him as Batman?)

The second photo that you see is the Taubman Museum of Art.  The very last photo shows (from right to left), shows the H&C Coffee Company sign, the Dr. Pepper sign, and the Mill Mountain Star in the distance.
