Two Movies

One holds up, and one doesn't:

Wayne's World was cute in 1993, but I'm watching it with The Boy right now (because we heard Bohemian Rhapsody on the radio, which reminded me that he'd probably like the movie), and while it's not at all inappropriate for the boy, it's also not at all good.

Valley Girl, on the other hand, is still awesome. I got it from the library and watched it while The Boy was at Pitt's Blue & Gold game this evening. It's 25 years old, and still sweet and funny. The clothes are really dated, but the story still works. Speaking of the clothes, the girls look kind of silly (Julie, the main character, wears a big Woody Woodpecker pin at one point), especially with the nasty colors, but they're still really cute over all. The guys, however, look like total tools except for Nicolas Cage--he's never been as cute as he was then (he's adorable on the beach, especially). Look at the clothes the guys are wearing at the mall, and then watch them all dancing at the party. Priceless:



Here's a little Randy From Hollywood High:



To summarize: Wayne's World=Bad; Valley Girl=Totally Awesome!
