It keeps going, so... just give me a little rope.

Hey, look, Scott's just himself and no one cares to stop him in the halls.

And a white guy is exploiting his talents for financial gain.

DSafetyGuy · Post by **DSafetyGuy** » Thu Apr 08, 2021 9:14 pm

And Pam is suddenly interested in him.

"It's too big for me" is some solid trolling.

Boobs. (Almost).

I haven't heard every detail of Amin's theory (just quick versions twice), but I am sure the fact that this play is set on a planation is a part of it.

And now, white woman is throwing himself at him for reasons of stereotyped sexual prowess.

The Union being the bad guys in popular depictions of the civil war is an interesting cutural artifact.

Wolf-related athletic skills extend to bowling as well. Maybe he should have been a high school bowler instead of basketball player. That would be an interesting movie.

Post by **brian** » Thu Apr 08, 2021 9:18 pm

I never understood why Mick lives in this small, shitty town but goes to a different high school? A private school maybe?

Post by **brian** » Thu Apr 08, 2021 9:19 pm

The other people in the bowling alley talking after Scott throws the ball are hilarious.

"French fries all over my family..."

DSafetyGuy · Post by **DSafetyGuy** » Thu Apr 08, 2021 9:19 pm

"Your mama used to steal chickens from the backyard."

Amin cites "mama" as an out-of-place term to underscore the white v. black.

So in between her boyfriend having done time and the first-name basis with the drama teacher, guessing Pamela's dad isn't around.

Maybe his prison record prevented him from being a Beaver.

"There's three rules I live by - never get less than 12 hours sleep, never play cards with a guy named after a city and never go anywhere near a woman with a tattoo of a dagger on her body" is pretty solid advice.

It's fun to think of Michael J. Fox as the biggest teen heartthrob in the world 35 years ago while having absolutely zero muscle tone.

Post by **brian** » Thu Apr 08, 2021 9:22 pm

The palm trees as Scott "surfs" on the Wolfmobile are a decent-sized continuity error.

Johnny Carwash · Post by **Johnny Carwash** » Thu Apr 08, 2021 9:23 pm

Palm trees lining the streets of Nebraska.

Also, how many got killed trying to replicate, the van surfing thing?

Post by **brian** » Thu Apr 08, 2021 9:26 pm

I will say Boof doesn't do herself any favors vs. Pamela by dressing like a middle-aged substitute teacher.

DSafetyGuy · Post by **DSafetyGuy** » Thu Apr 08, 2021 9:26 pm

Boof should have just asked, "Do you like the wolf?"

This song at the dance is legitimately horrible. Maybe the biggest misstep in the whole movie, which might be saying something.

DSafetyGuy · Post by **DSafetyGuy** » Thu Apr 08, 2021 9:29 pm

It takes entirely too long for everyone to get this crappy dance he does.

Post by **brian** » Thu Apr 08, 2021 9:29 pm

I feel like everyone mimicking TW's dance steps was subsequently parodied at least a dozen times in various shows (including Rick & Morty).

rass · Post by **rass** » Thu Apr 08, 2021 9:31 pm

It’s the African anteater ritual!

Post by **brian** » Thu Apr 08, 2021 9:31 pm

This Pamela totally ended up in a season of "Real Housewives Of Somewhere". Consummate shit stirrer.

DSafetyGuy · Post by **DSafetyGuy** » Thu Apr 08, 2021 9:31 pm

I want to know why Boof is wearing flats to this dance... other than Fox is 5'4".

Post by **brian** » Thu Apr 08, 2021 9:32 pm

In all seriousness, not sure of the wisdom of Mick going after TW like that. Pretty sure that's a good way to get your head (literally) ripped off.

DSafetyGuy · Post by **DSafetyGuy** » Thu Apr 08, 2021 9:32 pm

And the "black" guy resorts to violence, turning people against him.

Johnny Carwash · Post by **Johnny Carwash** » Thu Apr 08, 2021 9:32 pm

When did Chub join the Secret Service?

Beavers are the best!

Think that was his last line in the movie. A great role.

Johnny Carwash · Post by **Johnny Carwash** » Thu Apr 08, 2021 9:37 pm

"Sucks" was still a controversial term at this point. I could see some parents disallowing this movie based on it.

DSafetyGuy · Post by **DSafetyGuy** » Thu Apr 08, 2021 9:37 pm

Mick should have played on the other team in "Youngblood".

Post by **brian** » Thu Apr 08, 2021 9:37 pm

There's a lot of intentional fouls in this championship game.

Post by **brian** » Thu Apr 08, 2021 9:38 pm

Mick is very sweaty in this championship game.

Post by **brian** » Thu Apr 08, 2021 9:39 pm

Just realized they do name the town at least ("Beacontown"). Not sure if that's the name of the high school.

DSafetyGuy · Post by **DSafetyGuy** » Thu Apr 08, 2021 9:39 pm

Nice "Police Academy" t-shirt on that guy in the stands.

Yeah, and Hampton did have one more line ("Shoot it!")
