Update: Awesome flick. You done good, Spicoli, you done good.

I had the same results when I tried to mail order a $6.98 real working submarine from an ad in a 1968 issue of "Archie's Pal Jughead." Hell, worth a shot.

If there's ever a movie of this
Robert Patrick should play Steve's dad. I can just see and hear him uttering that Charlie Chaplin line with a barely contained mixture of disappointment and jealousy.

Dude's nickname in high school was Spicoli, wasn't it?
Can't wait to see PE, will probably go tonight.

Hey, good thing you didn't try to do The Sword, KCLMB, you'd have to go change your drawers afterwards.

To me Wolfmother just sounds like The White Stripes if they were trying to emulate Black Sabbath instead of Led Zeppelin.

A shame, but don't waste your tears
Honestly, they probably get a lot of that shit for free. Ron Asheton undoubtedly gets his guitars for free because he endorses his own Ron Asheton model by Reverend Guitars.

Shirts?
Had to be a joke. Since when the fuck does Iggy ever wear a shirt?

Shit, J. Geils Band was on Full House? You sure you're not thinking of the Beach Boys.

I remember when I was in second grade the teacher asked everybody who their favorite actor was, and I said "Easy Reader." I was only seven, but I knew talent when I saw it, I guess.

That's "10cc."

I like Van Morrison enough to consider myself a fan, but I turn apoplectic whenever I hear that sunny guitar hook and rush to change the station or turn it off before I go into "Hulk smash!" mode.

THE LEAST ROCKIN' SONG OF ALL TIME THAT I ACTUALLY KIND OF LIKE
"I'm Not in Love" by 10CC.

THE MOST ROCKIN' SONG OF ALL TIME, PERIOD
"It Ain't What You Do (It's How You Do It!)" by the J. Geils Band.

JUST STARTED READING THIS LAST NIGHT
The scant few chapters I read were highly enjoyable. I'd be interested in knowing what Jason Heller thought of this. He seems to have a taste for the steampunk stuff.

IDEA FOR CASTING
Howard Stern as "Screamin' Steve" except this time it'll be "Fartin' Steve" and when he makes that gun shooting gesture with his index finger it'll make a fart sound instead of a gunshot sound.

In my imagination, ZMF looks just like this guy:

The weird part is that the role was originally played by Howard Hesseman, who quit before shooting all his scenes.

Am I the only one?
That thought Billy Connolly was Will Ferrell with a gray wig in that split second he was in the commercial?

Dan Aykroyd was in Crossroads?
I just remember Ralph Macchio, Joe Seneca and Jami Gertz. Who was he, the shady motel owner/pimp? The gruff bartender? I'm going to have to watch it again.
