Line 1: {{work}} ''Vibes'' is a 1988 quirky romantic comedy. It's about Nick Deezy ([[Jeff Goldblum]]), a [[Psychic Powers\|psychometrist]] working in a ~~museam~~museum, and Sylvia Pickel ([[Cyndi Lauper]]), a [[I See Dead People\|medium]] with a [[Deadpan Snarker]] spirit guide named Louise. The two meet at a study for psychics, and [[Belligerent Sexual Tension\|take a nearly instant dislike to each other.]] The two are hired by Harry Buscafusco ([[Peter ~~Faulk~~Falk]]) to travel with him to Ecuador to find his missing son. However, Nick quickly deduces that something isn't right, and Harry confesses that what he's actually after is the lost [[City of Gold]]. ---- {{tropelist}} ~~=== This film provides examples of: ===~~ * [[Astral Projection]]: Sylvia can do this with Louise's help. It's hard for her to come back, though. * [[Belligerent Sexual Tension]]: Nick and Sylvia are an almost textbook case. Naturally, they hook up at the end. * [[City of Gold]]: What everyone is searching for. {{spoiler\|It turns out that the "gold" is actually a psychic weapon, not a metal.}} * [[Defensive Failure]]: Subverted at the end. Nick has Dr. Steele held at bay with an M-16. {{quote\| '''Dr. Steele''': Have you even held a machine gun before?~~<br />~~ '''Nick''': [[Blatant Lies\|Sure, lots of times. I was captain of the Automatic Weapons Team in high school.]]~~<br~~ /> '''Dr. Steele''' ''(starts inching forward)'': Don't lie to me. You wouldn't know how to use that thing if you tried.~~<br~~ /> ''(Nick points the gun up and fires a few bursts into the air. Steele instantly jumps backwards to where he started.)''~~<br~~ /> '''Nick''': Oh, I dunno. Seems pretty simple to me. }} * [[Fantastic Nuke]]: {{spoiler\|The Lost City's psychic weapon.}} * [[I See Dead People]]: Well, a dead ''person'', anyway. Sylvia's guide Louise is a ghost. Through Louise, she can contact the spirits of other dead people. * [[Mayincatec]]: The Lost City is very much "Hollywood South American Native." * [[Psychic Powers]]: Naturally. Not only are the main characters psychics of two different flavors, but {{spoiler\|the people of the Lost City used them as a [[Fantastic Nuke]].}} {{reflist}}
