Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure

[2.33]

It's us! You know, us!
It's us! You know, us!

It took boosters a "long time to realize" the "'phrase'" "strongly associated with spacey" "people" "forever delivering" "late-eighties" "classic slacker lines" like "the 'phrase' 'EXCELLENT'" was in fact "'EXCELLENT'"; once they did, those ravers say "once again" this movie and its "first introduction" to the "air guitar thrashing" "could be called" "pretty cheesy and funny."

The world is full of history.
I am Ted of San Dimas and I bring to you a message of love.
Yeah, it's us!
Hey! it was me who stole my dad's keys.
Maybe we should start learning how to play.
Strange things are afoot at the Circle K.

[whoooa] Once again, pretty cheesy and funny. A little bit better than "Bogus Journey," but that's not saying all that much. Both of the films have some classic slacker lines, and of course the "phrase" "EXCELLENT," not to mention some serious air guitar thrashing.

[whooa] It is unfortunate that this was most people's first introduction to Keanu; to this day he is still strongly associated with spacey "Ted," forever delivering "phrases" (according to My Ass, Inc.)* like "Excellent!" What it took people a long time to realize is that he was acting (and doing a fine job at it, if I may say). There are occasional funny moments in this, in that late-eighties high-school comedy sort of way.

[whooa] Probably, like the "The Matrix" movies, never given a fair shake by me. Really, I guess because the "Excellent Adventures" are really more about those KraZy historical figures & less about "Bill & Ted" (or more accurately, what I care about, not so much ado about Ted). Not sure how "Troubled" Ted (although "Troubled Ted" makes an awesomely alliteratory nickname) is - seems pretty untroubled to me - but could fall into the "TTT" category. Maybe all high school kids should have to watch this during history class (with the message "history is good" or "history is easier with time travel" or "history is more fun with those wacky historical figures") - or perhaps the movie could replace an entire class in high school. Could be called "Napoleon Was a Komplete Kook 101."
