"Valley Girl" - dare I say classic?
In this week's "80s" podcast, Gina and I are honoring "Valley Girl" and we want to know your thoughts and memories of the movie and music that defined it. Nicholas Cage ... "I Melt With You" ... sushi ... Hollywood vs. the Valley ... Romeo and Juliet. It's all there and more. So much more, that we're actually doing two podcasts -- one on the movie, another on the music.
Personally, I think it's one the top 5 movies of the decade. It's sort of the ying to the yang of "Fast Times at Ridgemont High." Why they never show it on TV or cable is beyond me. But it doesn't matter because I own it on DVD and I'll spend the entire week watching it over and over again to get psyched for the podcast.
Top 5 favorite quotes (the ones I can print anyway):
5) "Wow, is the movie in 3-D?" .. "No, but your face is."
4) "He's just like tripendicular, isn't he?"
3) "SO WHEN CAN I SEE YOU AGAIN?"
2) "What is this? Bangkok? I don't need a massage!"
1) "Let's crush... that... fly..."
