Back in the day they didn't use copiers to photocopy papers to hand out in class they used some other type of printing press and everytime you got your papers in class they always had this weird smell to them and yes everyone always smelled them.

I suspect that as time goes on, more and more of these types of questions are going to be popping up.

"Dad, are you trying to tell me that when you were a kid there weren't any microwaves?"

"What's that guy doing?"
"He's dialing a number on an old phone, son"
"Uh...dialing?"

"what's a record?"

Nice to see young people still taking the time to watch great movies like Fast Times at Ridgemont High. Makes me feel warm all over.

We used to take turns running the mimeograph machine in grade school. It was considered a treat to get picked. There was a crank and a round cylinder that put out the copies.

haggard · 03-14-2003, 01:10 PM

haha! thanks ya'll.

ElvisManson · 03-14-2003, 01:15 PM

damn does that bring back memories... (sniiiiif)

i was just looking at Fast Times at the Video store last nite wondering if I should rent it.... Ended up getting "Freeway" instead, which btw is one seriously funny and fucked up movie.

Fletch XXX · 03-14-2003, 01:17 PM

If you havent read Fast Times youre missing out as well.

Did you even know it was a book before it was a movie? as the case with most movies though heheh

Theres a much bigger story behind that movie.

The writer must have had a good time with those young girls thats for sure.

he was 18+ back in school undercover. going to parties with 16 year old girls drinking and flirting, must have been hard.

Ive read some of his other stuff, he's a good writer.

His name is Cameron Crowe.

If you like the movie, and havent read it, you should.

Its all based on real events.

The school he attended is just up the road.

;)

Fletch XXX · 03-14-2003, 01:19 PM

I think Cameron Crowe was brilliant for taking an atempt like this and going undercover.

Amazon review:

<font size="1">

'For as long as people have been coming-of-age in our society, authors have tried to capture the extraordinarily diverse array of feelings associated with adolescence. Many have successfully captured some aspect, some portion of those feelings, but usually through a specific lens or promoting a specific agenda. Nobody has succeeded in simply describing, with little embellishment and no judgmentalism, how it really feels to be a teenager in America. Nobody, that is, except Cameron Crowe. Nearly 20 years ago, Crowe went undercover to spend a year inside a high school in southern California. Going in, Crowe was already a seasoned reporter on music and pop culture, but was youthful enough to appear legitimate as a high school student. He forged relationships with students that were just close enough to learn all the details of their lives, but not too close to interfere with what he was trying to observe. As fans of the entertaining movie (The first effort of "Clueless" director Amy Heckerling) are well aware, "Fast Times at Ridgemont High" is filled with enough teenage sex, drug use, rivalry, and relationship angst to be amusing on a purely visceral level. The book, however, is able to examine the real people behind the images. We learn that Linda is not quite as sexually confident as she first appears, that Damone is frightened and lonely behind the tough-guy swagger. We see that Brad and Stacy share a complicated sibling love, not just the rivalry. We understand what it was really like to be ad Ridgemont High in the late 1970's. What continues to set this book apart twenty years later is the timlessness and diversity of its characters. There is no one single character who stands out; instead Crowe focuses on a range of people who between them reflect the full range of American youth. Time has not diminished the power or the universality of the characters' emotions. Twenty years later, Crowe's work remains an American masterpiece. '</font>

Yes, that true.

There are so many different cuts of this movie, that almost everytime, I see something that I've NEVER seen before.

Fletch XXX · 03-14-2003, 01:27 PM

Matter of fact,

who do you think wrote and directed VANILLA SKY?

Cameron Crowe is very good.
