About that last post…
No, I wasn’t drinking, nor am I on medication…well, at least not any that’s SEVERELY mind altering.
But it did just dawn on me that not everyone may have caught the movie references. If you didn’t recognize that I was totally ripping off The Graduate and Top Gun…then, yes – I would have appeared absolutely batshit insane.
Benjamin Braddock (Dustin Hoffman’s character in The Graduate…the pool scene(s) – begin at 4:50 (through Simon and Garfunkel’s The Sound of Silence), then again at 9:22 below:
And from Top Gun…well, I couldn’t find the scene where the CO chews out Maverick (Tom Cruise – ugh) and references the flying of rubber dog shit out of Hong Kong. All the other scenes are just too “Top Gunny” to stand, so I found one of Val Kilmer from Real Genius that I like MUCH better. What? Val Kilmer was in both Top Gun AND Real Genius. Perfectly logical substitution:
The bit about dental school and it being Ben’s mother instead of his dad…well, that was all me.
Just wanted to clear it up.
You’re welcome.
