Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure: Classic or Beyond Classic?

u do know the premise of the film right

It seems to me the only thing you've learned is that Caesar is a "salad dressing dude."

"Put them in the Iron Maiden!"
"Iron Maiden? Excellent!!"
"Execute them!"
"Bogus!!"

need I even say it? bogus

never stops being funny when it's Vice that blows the whistle on something like that

makes u think!!!

it's like.. pot calling the kettle black!!

or anti-black, if you will

pretty much otm - it's lowest common denominator "year in review" shite, tho I don't remember much homophobic about the version I saw 3 years ago. they update it each year tho so chances are it is this year.

The humor behind the idea of a gay Superman is so timeless and classic that Universal Studios has used it before. Above is a clip from the 2006 Bill and Ted's Excellent Halloween Adventure show, in which a thong-wearing Superman ruins Bill and Ted's efforts to fight Magneto because he's more interested in ribbon dancing and shouting the word "rainbows!" Lol, classic gays.

not surprised. I've only ever been to it one time (I think 2010)

Didn't know this, but one of the writers on the original movies was Richard Matheson's son.

richard mathe-son

it is a pretty great screenplay. tight scripting!

Also, I always imagined a Robocop sequel where the original Robocop is like 20 years past being totally outdated useless technology after they invented all the rad new robotcops. And Robocop is reduced to being the precinct's office manager or secretary or some pencil pusher and the movie is all about his sad life as an old man robot

whiney so otm

My biggest LOL during this morning's re-watch: Freud walking around the mall carrying a super-phallic Hot Dog on a Stick.

"You can call me 'Siggy'"

"Deacon, do you realize you have just stranded one of Europe's greatest leaders in San Dimas?"
"He was a dick"

My second-favorite thing that I discovered today that there was no way that I'd've caught when I was 10: Jane Wiedlin as Joan of Arc!

Members of the Tubes are the future rulers

I just have to come in and brag, but I think I knew it was Jane when I was 9 or 10 cuz MTV would play this all the time

who knows when i actually ended up seeing the movie tho

I saw Alex Winter's Deep Web yesterday. Smart guy--actually smart, not just wow-he-was-Ted smart. (Never seen any of the films.) Kept talking about the gray area, like Husker Du. That's how I see just about everything.

Bill and Ted are guided to ensure a specific future by Rufus, using a phone booth to aid in their travels.

Neo & co. are guided to ensure a specific future by Morpheus, using land line phones to aid in their travels.

The world depicted in The Matrix is a result of Wyld Stallions not taking off and inspiring a utopian society; both worlds are variations of the reality simulation. Rufus and Morpheus aren't "real", but separate manifestations of the same program.

? I like the idea of Bill & Ted and The Matrix both taking place in a shared universe. Perhaps Ted's experience with inter-dimensional travel (both through time and birth/death) are what make him The One, and lead Morpheus to seek him out in the first Matrix film. Due to the failure of Wyld Stallions to unite the human race, an AI Cold War spun out of control, resulting in the apocalyptic cyberscape of the Matrix.

There is a point in Bill & Ted 2 where he leaves his body and takes over the body of a policeman in a room full of cops, which is an ability he rediscovers in his later confrontations with authoritarian Mr. Smith.

The reason he can affect machines in the 'real world' is using his past experience outsmarting and defeating the robot Evil Bill & Ted.

third film on the way

The Sad Pudgy Years

Never even saw the second one--a trend that I will continue by not seeing this one either.

my trend will be to watch the first 20 minutes (going on three there)

Keanu might be sad but he's not pudgy.

between the John Wick garbage shoots, he might be

this might be good if it actually is a depressing slowcore meditation on how being fat drunk and stupid is no way to go thru life

this is gonna be great the first two were great fuiuid

I do like the idea of seeing Keanu get to be goofy again.

the script is about realising you've become middle-aged dads without ever actually achieving the high dreams & promise of your youth

this will be awesome and i'm excited

I really hope they don't retcon away the end of Bogus Journey.

all they do is win a battle of the bands, it’d be easy enough to get around that to explain why they’re still failures without retconning anything

idk if a series where the main characters travel through time and then get killed and then get brought back to life really needs to retcon anything

first film is still totally classic, don't remember much about the second one other than it creeping out 10-year old me and featured some kind of E.T. like character

i had the comic book adaptation of bogus journey, drawings were creepy as fuck iirc, was especially distressed by the depiction of the easter bunny they meet in hell

Evan Dorkin, who did that adaptation, went on to do 11 issues of original Bill & Ted comics from Marvel (featuring the cast from Bogus Journey, as he had never seen the first movie).

this could be the one where they drunkenly have brosex

hope Logan Paul doesn't get cast as one of their kids

this might be good if it actually is a depressing slowcore meditation on how being fat drunk and stupid is no way to go thru life

Really didn't like Bogus Journey but in honor of Bill and Ted I have decided to anticipate that this will be excellent

i do like the first 2 movies and i was barely joking

i'm just so tired of seeing dead horses getting a good flogging

also bg is correct that the best thing about the films is probably the protagonists relentlessly positive disposition

but somehow i really doubt this will be "Jim Anchower: The Movie"

this might be good if it actually is a depressing slowcore meditation on how being fat drunk and stupid is no way to go thru life

nah, it would suck. we are already lousy with fictional characters going to therapy or lampshading the self aware way they live their lives. asking to be depressed while watching a Bill & Ted movie is, like, entirely missing the point.

really gonna miss george carlin in the third one whatever happens
