We've been shelled with winter-like conditions all week. When's the global warming kicking in seriously? I have to see friends tomorrow night, some I won't see again until after the holidays so VG will have to be watched late at night. You know I will be wearing my Frederic Forrest health foods t-shirt fer shure! Posts: 4413 | From: Where the streets have no name | Registered: Oct 2002 | Site Updates: 0

I watched it. It is such an AWESOME movie. I always find new things about it that I didn't remember seeing.
You know at the beginning and Lauren is talking about "Totally Gnarly Birth Control"....weren't they talking about being pregnant? If your already pregnant...being pregnant isn't really good birth control..ya know.
I still have never figured out if Skip liked Susie for sure, or if he ended up just getting together with her because her mom wasn't around.
How old do you think Colleen Camp is suppose to be in the movie? I think she wasn't much older than some of the "teens" in real life.
I think it is funny that Colleen Camp is doing yoga in the movie- and they are talking about Kharma and all the Hippie stuff, because Deborah Foreman is totally in to that, she is a real life yoga instructor. I have never found out for sure, but Deborah Foreman had a wesbite that was under the name Deborah Foreman Altier (I think they have taken that name off the end...but where did it ever come from)...I have never read anywhere that she was ever married?
Does anyone know for sure?

Man, because of events tonight I got home later than expected and I didn't give VG the full viewing treatment. I watched a bit of it, just near to when Julie dumped Randy. Let me tell you I noticed that when they show the dating/courtung process with Julie and Randy, going out, walking each other home, kissing each other goodnight, there is one segment where Julie is wearing a mini skirt and leather jacket and she looks really good in it. I think that is the only time she dressed more according to Randy's world. Loved noticing that.
I don't know much about Deb's personal life or if she is married, but I did find out that not only a certified yoga instructor, she works as a graphic artist and sells hand painted furniture. Saw some recent pics of her and she looks really great. Would love to see her act again, but it's a tough business.
I heard Michelle Meyrink was a yoga enthusiast as well. Still living in Vancouver as far as I know.
Tomorrow I am going to give VG another run through with the special features. I just love looking at that vintage club scene and former hollywood places they pass in the car that aren't there anymore.

I don't know if she does her graphic design stuff any more, she has a little bit of it on her myspace page. She just announced that she got a job as some kind of beauty consultant for a Doctor, I looked at the website, and it's for liposuction and other plastic surgery procedures. I hope she doesn't start messing around with her face. She is in awesome shape, from doing yoga...she doesn't need any "work" done.
She gives private yoga lessons.
I like the dating scene too, I like all her clothes she has on. I loved the matching mini skirt sets. I love the store they are in at the beginning. I don't understand how those clothes went out of style. They were so cute. There was so much variety.
What I noticed...is that the world today looks more like the people in the Club that Randy hung out in. The thing with that...was they were talking about the music in the club ...I thought the guys in the band looked a little out of place for that club, they seemed like they should be playing at the Prom, and that Josie Cotton seemed like she should have been in the club.

If you watch the "easter eggs" in the special edition dvd, they refer to this line. I believe it meant that if you pig out on food, you will get fat and no one will want to have sex with you. It was something like that if I recall. Check it out.

I think they are talking about being pregnant, and getting all fat from being pregnant. But, I was never 100% sure. Because I don't think being fat is "totally gnarly birth control"...because implying you need birth control, means you'd be having sex...if your too fat for that...then you don't need to worry about birth control. Right?

Could be ISIS. I only watched it once. I think the being fat part is correct. I thought it was because they were eating so much food. You're probably right....you know this movie better than me.

I only have one question....Did Loryn's friend from the beach ever make an appearance at Suzi's party? She seemed kind of fun and in retrospect, maybe if she would have shown she might have appreciated Fred's quirky coolness better than Stacey.
I mean is there a better 'poll' question than:
"Do you think a girl should pet on the first date?"
Tripendicular ya know

This might not happen until after I win the lottery, retire, and move to Maui......but I'm eventually going to install a replica of Beth's pool and outdoor gazebo. I've watched "Valley Girl" so many times that a picture of it is embedded in my memory banks for future use. Check it out next time you watch "Valley Girl" and give me your thoughts.

That's a great looking pool and gazebo, the one in Fast Times is none too shabby either. What was the beach location they were sun tanning at near the beginning?

I went out recently and saw an 80's cover band and they played an awesome version of the Plimsouls "Oldest Story In the World".

My totally favorite part is when Randy does all the romantic stuff...I love the ..."cool is this in 3D...No, but your face is." I love the look on Tommy's face when Randy says that to him.
I loved when he says...hey you forgot our fries, and Randy says "well Peter Piper pecked a peck of pickled peppers, I guess I did." and he spits his gum on him. That is so funny, every time.
I love when they are at the mall eating the piece of pie...and Tommy turns around and has that dopey look on his face as if he can't believe what he is seeing.
My other favorite scene is at the Prom, Tommy does all his karate moves and says ...watch this..and Randy kicks him in the ___. That's the coolest, and then Randy and Julie run out through everyone and are the king and queen.
I love the food fight too....if nobody has ever done that...then they haven't lived, because we did that at camp one year and had a huge food fight, and it was the most fun ever.

Valley that is so cool you got to see someone cover the Oldest Story in the world. Just recently wrote down all the lyrics in my notebook. That whole scene is gold. Can't wait to see the guitarist Eddie Munoz on Jan 14th.
I always wondered about the scene where Randy is the movie usher and wearing the 3D shades, Julie seems to hint she knows it's him with that smile.
Also love the fact they used some of the actors like Dye and Meyrink in Martha Coolidge's the Joy of Sex the year after. Not as good as VG, but gives you some fun moments.

One of my favorite parts is when Randy is yelling at Julie and delivers this line: "Well f**k you, for sure, like totally." Didn't he improv this line? It was genius.

That's a great scene, when Cage gets all excited and starts swearing, he gives us a taste of what is to come when his career starts roliing.

Nic Cage is the king of quirky improv. The gum dropping on Tommy's lap and the harmonica scene were all Cage.
How about that horrible squeaky voice from "Peggy Sue Got Married". The director was completely against it, but Cage stuck with his gut and it only added to his excellent performance.

What is going on here? I was in a thrift store looking for stuff with my mom today and out of the blue this guy walked up to the cash dressed I kid you not like vintage Randy in VG. Pretty young too. Is this just hipster fashion talking?
