Dazed & Confused (1 Viewer)

"Let me have a Three Musketeers, and a ball point pen, and one of those combs there, a pint of Old Harper, a couple of flash light batteries and some beef jerky."

 
London: So all the guys read for Pink, and all the girls read for Jodi [Dazed’s female lead, eventually played by Michelle Burke], and to rehearse you basically went to a practice room with one of the girls and made out. We got to make out with, like, three different girls each. It was the greatest audition of all time.

I'm sure he didn't either sweetie. #gaydar

His freshman hookup had some potential.

Mike: [after Jodi takes Sabrina away] Am I mistaken or was there some unspoken thing between you and that young vixen... you stud.

Tony: Well you know how it is.

Mike: Yeah, I bet she's pretty cute once you clean all the #### off her.

:lmao:

 
I was keying on the "in real life" aspect of that quote. In real life, Anthony Rapp is not interested in the ######.

 
" Hey, this summer when you're being inundated with all this bi-centennial, fourth of July, bru-ha-ha just remember what you're celebrating. That's the fact that a bunch of slave-owning aristocratic white males didn't want to pay their taxes."

 
I'm surprised every movie doesn't utilize a great soundtrack like this one does. It's half the battle to making a good film. You could have two people staring at a wall for 90 minutes, and if there was some classic 70s rock playing in the background, it would be watchable.

yep- Dylan's "Hurricane" makes the scene at the Emporium all that much better

No doubt. It's amazing how something like that can elevate a scene to something memorable. It's impossible for me to even imagine that scene with another song.

 
I love both movies, but it wasn't until a recent viewing of Swingers (first time in years) that I realized the cocktail waitress was Deena Martin (Shavonne in D&C). I felt ashamed. :bag:

Listen, bring a single malted Glen Gary for me and one for my boy Mikey here. And if you tell the bartender to go easy on the water then this 50cent piece has got your name written all over it. I want you to run along, because I'll be timing you. I'm gonna keep time. 1 2 3 4!

No two movies better described my teen and early adult years than these two. D&C was a perfect representation albeit adjusted for a decade latter and a different region.

However, being the exact same age as the Swingers cast while living in Los Angeles at that time - I was watching a glorified version of our typical night out and something not too far off from some of those amazing nights where everything just comes together.

The bars were where we hung out. We bailed on work because #### it, Vegas on a Tuesday baby! We are all pretending to be all fly and ####, smooth with the baby's, while we then begged our gfs not to leave (well not me, I'm a FBG)

Just... Perfect.

Not as easy as you may think. Plus it gets expensive.

Read an article about the soundtrack for this one and how hard Linklater had to fight for it and how he had to give stuff up to get it.

I agree that a good soundtrack can really help a movie out though, sure.

 
I still want to know in swingers. The scene where Favreau walks up to Heather graham at the bar. A group of guys gives him a wtf look like they were serious

Yes, in most of the bar scenes they were filming while other people were in the place unaware. It was a really low budget film.

The scene roadside before the 'puppy dogs and ice cream' line was filmed with cops just outside the frame ticketing Vaughn and Favreau for filming without a license.

That's a pretty good translation into English.

Sort-of sequel coming out this fall

It'd be a lot cooler if they didn't.

it's Linklater... it'll be just fine.

doesn't sound like it's a sequel- just a similar type of movie where the focus is on kids going to college instead of HS. also wish they'd stuck with the "that's what I'm talking about" title.

one question though... is O'bannon going to be there? I hate that jerk.

That's what I got out of Linklater's description of it too on Maron. Not a sequel, but it is still a slice of life kind of movie. Just happens to coincide with the timing of D&C college years.

Even good directors make turkeys, but the fact that he's behind it will at least make it worthwhile to check out.
Click to expand...
I was about to type- what turkeys has Linklater made?... but then looked up his movies. I completely lost track of him for a bunch of years and haven't seen anything he did between 2005-11, including Bad News Bears, Bernie, Fast Food Nation, Me and Orson Welles. I'm guessing at least one of those isn't so hot.

 
I saw Dazed & Confused at the Cable Car Cinema in Providence, a little art house movie place. I took two different chicks on back-to-back nights and brought them both back to my beach house (in college at the time) and will never forget the look on my roommates face the second night when he asked what we had seen and I tell him the same movie as the night before when he met chick #1. I ended up nailing both chicks but it would probably be a lot cooler if I lasted more than 5 seconds with the chick from night #1. At least that allowed me to go 4-5 minutes the next night with chick #2.

You were at URI in 93? We're they Providence girls, or URI girls? I saw Life is Beautiful at the Cable Car and also scored after. Must have been something about those couches....

EVERYBODY WANTS SOME - Official Trailer #1 (2016) Richard Linklater Drama Movie HD

D&C set in the 80's. 1979

Still looks good, though.

I tried to look up the year but didn't see it. Where did you find that?

Everything has a late '70s feel, from the muscle cars to the T-shirts to the 8-track stereo. Compare the look of this movie to the look of "Fast Times" (set in early 1982) and it definitely looks like more than 2 years have passed.

Yes, although '93 was near the end of my time there. They were URI girls, I wouldn't bang a chick from PC. Thankfully despite dressing like a rock band from Seattle (all flannel), URI girls were filthy whores.

Honestly, a LOT changed for such a short time from '79 to '82.

Disco (all but) dead

Lennon Shot

From Carter and US weakness to Reagan and a renewed bluster

That many more homes with cable tv, a microwave, cd's just getting going

Led Zep last record in '79 (seems important)
