I'm just waiting to see if I pass out. Long story.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
You know, if I'm going to have a headache anyway, this might as well be the way to go.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
So, in my continuing project of watching high school movies with Emmett this summer we recently watched Fast Times at Ridgemont High and Dazed and Confused.
A few notes on casting.
I forget every time I watch Fast Times that it not only has Sean Penn, Phoebe Cates and Jennifer Jason Leigh, but also Forest Whitaker, Nicholas Cage, Eric Stoltz and Anthony Edwards.
While watching Dazed and Confused I was wondering what happened to the other two of the "smart kids" who hang out with Adam Goldberg's character. Looking them up, I found out the blond dude is Anthony Rapp (very famous for his role in Rent) and the red-headed girl (Marissa Ribisi, Giovanni's twin sister) is married to Beck! They have two kids. Wacky.

And Judge Reinhold.

Good casting!
It's up there with The Outsiders and Dazed and Confused for superabundance of future stars.

Conan kinda falls apart in the third act, but JASON MOMOA.
DAT ASS.
SRSLY.
I like this better than the original movies, although a bit of Grace Jones would have been neat. It strikes me that Rachel Nichols has a pretty cool resume. She gets kick ass roles, for someone no one has heard of.

BTW, Cinemablend says not to see Conan in 3D, but to see Fright Night that way.
I'm watching the Friday the 13th re-whatever, and I'm so out of practice watching slasher flicks. I forget most everyone's going to buy it, whether I like them or not.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
The one with Paddywhack? I saw that. Slasher films are not my beautiful cake, never have been.

They're not my thing. I find myself thinking "You're nice. I hope you live. Oops." "You're irritating. I hope you die. Oh, at least that worked out." And a lot of "Eww, that's how you killed him???"
But JPad was looking nice and fluffy there. And Righetti at his sister was a great match.
