Thank you. I really like that thread title.

**Melis** · 06-17-2018, 04:10 PM

No prob. It's a great line. All true about high schools.

**Barrybgb** · 06-23-2018, 08:16 AM

What was your favorite scene in the movie?

**Melis** · 06-23-2018, 02:42 PM

Just one?

Well, riding off into the sunset on the lawnmower had to be my fave! I also love the African Anteater dance. The airplane graveyard was another one. So many!

Yeah, you pretty much named all of mine. Well, those and Seth Green getting locked in the car after someone cut the cheese in it. Lol.

**Melis** · 06-24-2018, 06:51 PM

Seth was just a funny character who added to the movie.

Ronald Miller needed to be someone who wasn’t already famous. “If Ronald Miller is a star when you meet him on his lawn mower, you’ll never believe he is a nerd, so you’ll never care when he’s not a nerd,”

I agree with this.

I agree with this.

Oh, I agree too. Patrick was not known then. In 1987, if it were Kirk Cameron or someone, then it would not of been the same. It is true for a lot of type of roles, really. If you put a big star like Tom Cruise as Superman, then you aren't seeing Superman. You are seeing Tom Cruise as Superman.

That makes sense.

**Melis** · 07-08-2018, 08:33 PM

Sad how kids still act like this. Still have that popular kids stuff. Some things never change.

**Melis** · 07-15-2018, 09:41 PM

Ronnie was such a jerk, but I'm glad we had the happy ending.

**Melis** · 07-17-2018, 05:48 PM

Do you think that in real life, Ronnie would get the girl?

Sadly life is not like the movies.
