100% of the time I use any conditioner at all, I hear Rachael Hunter saying “Pantene Pro V changed all that” in her Australian accent.

The Amalgam characters will have their DC post-crisis-era halves disappear, leaving the Marvel half a bloody lump of meat wearing half a costume.

The Marvel heroes are gonna be like, "Hey, Batman, remember a few years back when we met?" And the DC heroes are gonna be, "that was three me's ago. I've never met you."

I promise that you don't need the word "become" in there. We were always like this. It's just that the cool ones got the press coverage in the 90s. Brett Kavanaugh and Amy Coney Bryant were hard at work back then, too, but Rolling Stone and MTV weren't paying attention to them.

What sucks is that GenXers worth a damn are the ones writing our history, but in reality there were always more Ted Cruzes than Dave Grohls. More Alex P. Keatons than Bill or Ted.

And the box set of all his recordings in… I think it was 1992? I bought the fucking thing the day it came out.

For real, though, if you are a GenXer who was obsessed with Robert Johnson, do you remember when the second confirmed photo of him was discovered?

When a friend of my mom's saw Stand By Me, she called my mom /that night/ to tell me hoe the bad guy looked like me. This sucked for me... until The Lost Boys came out, when all of a sudden I looked like the coolest motherfucker on Earth.
TO. THIS. DAY.

Man, if you were a GenXer and didn’t have a crush on Jamie Gertz, I don’t know man, there might be something wrong with you and honestly, there probably is.

Hand to God, I have probably said “Muddy Waters invented electricity” more than any other sentence in my entire life.

“Where I come from, you don’t play harp you don’t get no pussy.” Wise words.

Since it’s come up, the way Linda Ronstadt growls the word “fall“ in every other measure of “It’s So Easy” is what did it for me.

If anyone has not seen it, here's the GOOD Ralph Macchio final battle from an 80s movie:

And I idolized him before he played Satan’s guitarist, although that certainly does not hurt.

The first concert I ever went to by myself, by choice, was the band Cinderella opening up for David Lee Roth, when Steve Vai was his guitarist. I idolized Steve Vai then, and I idolize Steve Vai right now.

If you know a white boy, suburban dickhead GenXer who is obsessed with Robert Johnson, this movie is almost certainly why.

If “Crossroads“ is not Walter Hills’s best movie, this one is.

The way the rest of you dorks quoted Monty Python to each other in college, me and my super cool friends all quoted this movie to each other all the time.

It’s either the first best or second best Walter Hill movie, but I know a bunch of nerds would argue with me about that.

It’s the second best Jamie Gertz movie, and the first best Ralph Macchio movie.

Oh, I know, I'm just saying that his opposition last time was split mostly between Garcia and Wiley, either of whom I think would have beaten him 1 on 1. And then I threw Yang in there just to remind everyone how ridiculous this city can be.
