re-watching the original with a couple 90s babies who haven't seen it, and they are absolutely loving it. pure joy for us all

Unrelated - and I say this as someone who spent time in the valley as a kid - was there a male equivalent of a valley girl? A valley guy? Because these guys talk like surfers/stoners/skaters but aren't any of those things. If anything they're ... metalheads? But don't really act like that, either. It's one of the movie's many charms.

not correcting, just reasoning why!

I grew up in the 80s 3000 miles from the Pacific and being a "surfer dude" was definitely a way of life that did not involve actual surfing

Yeah, me too! There were surfer dudes at my school in suburban Philly. Though they also went surfing on the shore, as I recall. Still, would surfer dudes also be metalheads but not stoners? Hmm ...

it's definitely cool to see an on screen adaptation of those types where they're actually likeable, idk if I can think of another example quite like it

The casting of the two daughters in the new movie is so fucking good, especially brigitte lundy-paine ie Ted’s daughter Billie her physicality & mannerisms are so hilariously on point and her wardrobe is a fever dream of perfection: rash vest + long shorts (dickies maybe?) with the classic 80’s sunset strip medallion belt & docs = chef’s kissi just love her, completely transfixing

i made that very same observation to my wife when we watched this last week. she captures the essence of whoa keanu.

she's great. lil bill was less successful, on both an accent and mannerisms front, though I do like that actress in other stuff.
