Reviews, previews and chuckling and snorting...

Dazed and Confused

I wrote a long review of the Richard Linklater film, Dazed and Confused. It was a good movie. I liked it. It was good.

The review was lost. That was not good. Not good at all.

It's such a crushing blow to lose a post. To be honest, it's not Orble's fault. No, it's the browser I'm using on this laptop. It's sketchy, like a dirty little naked mole rat. Have you ever seen a picture of a naked mole rat? That's an unfortunate beast.

Of course, the mole rat probably doesn't think much of us, since we're not hideous and smelling of dirt. At least, you probably don't smell like dirt. I like to have a roll around sometimes.

In short, watch Dazed and Confused. It has no direction and a vague plot, but it's for this very reason that it's so compelling... a notable cast gives the entire movie a knowing wink, especially looking back on it. Humph!

Cibby,

I can't believe I've never seen a pic of a naked mole rat......

Dazed and Confused is a great movie. Very fun.

Ive had posts disappear too....Always crushing.
Ive seen this and loved it. Usually lack of plot and vague direction put me right off but you got it in one here - thats exactly what makes it so good!

Totally groove on Linkalters dazed and Confused.
The music set the mood, the actors commit to their characters and the script is allowed to "Shine on you crazy Diamond".

One of the few things that I like Matthew McCougnahey and Ben Affleck in.

"Let me tell you what Melba Toast is packin' right here, all right. We got 4:11 Positrac outback, 750 double pumper, Edelbrock intake, bored over 30, 11 to 1 pop-up pistons, turbo-jet 390 horsepower. We're talkin' some fuckin' muscle." - Wooderson (Matty Mac)

"Behind every good man there is a woman, and that woman was Martha Washington, man, and everyday George would come home, she would have a big fat bowl waiting for him, man, when he come in the door, man, she was a hip, hip, hip lady, man." - Slater

As a delinquent myself in the late 70s... I can't tell you how true this movie was to those times. As a now overeducated productive member of society,

This quote says it all

Well, all I'm saying is that I want to look back and say that I did I the best I could while I was stuck in this place. Had as much fun as I could while I was stuck in this place. Played as hard as I could while I was stuck in this place... Dogged as many girls as I could while I was stuck in this place.

When I saw this movie in the theatre, I laughed so hard ..true, no plot but Linklater captured the era so well I'd have sworn he'd been in my graduating class.
