    You know you're getting old when they're remaking movies they made when you were in college.
    I could take or leave the movie, but the book was one of my favorites when I was a kid.

    No one wants to wrestle Shute.

    Can we leave a 50-year-old Madonna out?

    Yes, absolutely. But where could we find a new and possibly even more bizarre dance-rooted performer who has the potential to take over and dominate mainsteam music and pop culture for the next couple of decades, by the force of her personality if not necessarily by the quality of her music? Hmmmm......

    Actually, I'd prefer to see her on the wrestling mat in this remake. Taylor Lautner would piss his pants at the thought of having to fight her.

    It's like someone saw TSP's Worst Movie thread and decided to greenlight a new candidate.

    The movie has several unintentionally funny moments though.

    From Kooch, the stereotypical native American with a drinking problem and abusive father, to Forest Whitacker taking Charles Jefferson to the wrestling mat. But nothing, I mean nothing, beats Matthew Modine's character trying to bed Linda Fiorentino by bragging how he could have lost his virginity in the eighth grade when a bunch of his friends were running a train on his friend's sister. Somehow, he says, that just didn't feel right and he just felt sorry for her instead.

    Ah, those were the days ... Forrest Whittaker in two athlete roles: The hulking football star in "Fast Times" and the "Vision Quest" role.

    "Somebody's Baby" should be permanently renamed as "The Jennifer Jason Leigh Gets Nailed Song"
    ... :D

    Hey, don't use that great movie to distract from the GREATEST, and by greatest I mean terribly awful, movie of the 80s.
