Gimme something to write on, man! Or a free school lunch…

Who's playing the school principal Mr. Weatherbee? I hope it's not Edward James Olmos.

Hey Betsy Devos… I brought my PENcil!!!

I wonder if the building has a 13th floor.

My favorite is when the total is $xxx.69. Sixty nine, get it?

Well, at least this German chancellor. There's been at least one in the past century that he'd probably admire the hell out of.

I'm at work and can't do the research, but I don't think the wax/shave/pre-pubescent look really took hold until the 1990s.

I'm still deciding. I also remember that the female love interest had a really hairy bush, so that's different from now.

I haven't seen it since it came out, but as I recall it was really fucking depressing. This was in the midst of the Reagan years, so it's understandable.

It jumps around a bit, but yeah.

Oingo Boingo's "Wake Up It's 1984" from, you guessed it, 1984.

I think it was supposed to stand for English Socialism. I read somewhere, decades ago, that Orwell was actually referring to the situation in England in 1948 when he wrote it and named it 1984 (the Labour party had taken power in 1945 and was in the midst of building the social welfare state). But I read this factoid…

You're out of your element, Sean-ny!

I think you mean when the price of pork floor sweepings falls low enough.

Right, right. Somebody said "alien" she thought they said "illegal alien" and signed up!

Actually, I double-checked to make sure my recollection was correct. I've been burned here before by posting fuzzy but incorrect memories.

My memory is a little unclear at my age, but yeah, I think so. Of course, those memories could have been implanted like in Total Recall.

"What's that wrinkled up thing on grandma? Oh, it's grandpa!"

Fun fact: Hoffman was 29 and Bancroft was 35 when this was filmed. I've certainly been with women who were more than six years older than me, so wtf.

I saw this in the theater at age 9 when it first came out and it certainly affected the way I looked at older women (i.e. always had the hots for them). However, now that I'm 57, I don't really go for the women that are 15-20 years older than me.
