My last Friday night was spent drinking beer with a couple of friends, listening to my husband and his best friend throw around Dazed and Confused quotes all night.

Thank God no one's said 300 or Sin City. Those movies sucked almost as bad as Shoot Em Up.

I always felt that if that movie was set in the 90's, it would closely resemble my 8th grade/high-school days...damn I miss them.

Also, I think I'm probably the only person alive who sort of hated Dazed and Confused.

Can't say I hated it, but it's not the best movie I've seen.

The last time I watched Dazed & Confused I was shocked to finally realize that Matthew McConaughey had been in it the whole time. Lolz.

Well, if you replaced Kiss with Pantera, Dazed and Confused pretty much sums up my adolescence. Now you know me!

I've started talks with Universal to see if they still have the 1914 Damon and Pythias movie. If they do, I've asked them to let me know what it would talk to have it released on DVD. It should be interesting, it was 100 minutes/6 reels.
