The Last American Virgin

LOUD NOISES!

 

But enough about Jay and his lady friend.

 

That scene where the old lady breaks up the couple's romantic moment with a flower cracks me up.

 

I saw LAV years ago, but missed some of the parts. I do remember how much of a bummer the ending was:

 

Quincy Jones produced the song but James Ingram was the singer.

 

I just googled it and, holy shit, that was a hell of a soundtrack.

I always get this movie and Valley Girl confused for some reason. They came out within a year of each other when I was in high school.

 

I believe they played Open Arms approximately 90 times in that movie, much in the same way Jackson Browne seems to permeate the Fast Times soundtrack.

 

They seemed to play two songs 150x apiece: "Open Arms" and "Just Once."

 

A great sleeper flick because of such low expectations. I think I was a freshman in college when it came out.

That ending? What a wallop, but you know its true a great deal of the time. My wife disagrees but I believe women want a little mystery and I've see my buddies being that puppy dog friend/wannabe partner be the loser too many times. But even then, standing by her the whole time then she ditches you for that loser? Harshest ending ever.

 

Who was a bigger pushover? Gary or Rat from Fast Times.

IMDB says that Rick was David Geffen's boyfriend in the '80's.

 

Definitely Gary. At least Rat didn't fund Stacy's abortion.

Though it's a dead heat for the more pathetic "fight" between former buds.
