[HCS]

:cool: Cool as shit.

[anxious]

2 dollars!
sorry johhny. I don't have a dime.
Didnt ask for a dime.....two dollars

[BiggusJimbus]

Look at that...
Folks throwin' away a perfectly good white boy.

Great story on finding the car. I have always wanted to track down the 65 Mustang I had in high school or my grandfather's 70 Buick GS455 convertible (although I'm sure if it's still around, it's probably way out of my price range).

[Cigalert]

Rupert Hine "Arrested by you" the gayest theme song for any movie made to date that is riddled throughout the movie (and I'm gayer for knowing that). It's even the song he goes Kenny G on sax for frog chick in the pork place he worked at.
Lane Meyer...perennial loser.
Love that movie...I'm waiting patiently for the blueray release.

[squirt'nmyload]

what a classic!........... I think I just froze the left half of my brain :D :D

Got to say that movie inspired me to buy my Camaro. I was 10 by the time it came out on video/beta.

[BiggusJimbus]

Oh man,
Tapeheads was one of my favorite movies. Even though it has that pinhead Tim Robbins in it.
How can it be bad. It has Don Cornelius and Jello Biafra in it.
Funny goofy shit.

[RitcheyRch]

Love some of the quotes in that movie.

[Cigalert]

It was a rhetorical question. I think we can all agree, the guy is a genius. ;)
But I took your question litterally and found that John's greater body of work existed during the 80's tapering to a meager "must love dogs" more recently. He needs to just walk away before he's pulls out a "waterworld" out of his ass. I want to remember John as Hoops Mccann humping on Demi Moore for the rest of my life. Is that so wrong?

[Cigalert]

Grosse Pointe Blank, Being John Malkovich, Runaway Jury, and the number one classic of all time, High Fidelity? Come on, cut a brother some slack. ;)
I'll start cutting John slack when he does another movie with Joan. We all know she's the one in the family with all the talent.

[Cigalert]

Ouch. I like her, but I find her a little annoyingly whiny in large doses.
One viewing of My Blue Heaven will fill my Joan void for years to come. But as the brace faced poodle skirt wearing freak in Sixteen Candles....pure talent.

[Kindsvater Flat]

I always liked this movie.

Two Lane Blacktop.....a true classic.

[Slow What]

The Car from Two Lane Blacktop is the same car used in American Graffiti .
Lot's of useless info rattling around up there :)
