wayne's world

i'm pretty sure some major nostalgia is kicking in here, but this movie is actually really good!  i think this movie came out at just the right time for me to really love it, all the humor is pretty junior high level, and i was in junior high at the time- perfect!  this movie is based on a saturday night live skit that was created by mike meyers and dana carvey.  i remember seeing the skit on snl once or twice (not too often because my parents would rarely let me stay up that late, and when they did they certainly werent apt to let me watch snl!), and always thought they were really funny!  i think i was too young to really understand any of the sexual innuendo, so to me it was just a fun bit about two rock nerds in their basement.  how exactly they turned that little sketch into a full movie (and sequel!) is kind of impressive, really.  and to turn it into such a funny one at that!  the story follows two slackers who make a public access rock show in their basement as they are offered a chance to make it big.  the movie itself is more of a series of funny bits tied together as a makeshift movie, but those bits are so much fun!  i remember reenacting many of them with my friends, even.  watching it recently with my wife i began to realize that maybe this movie isnt as good as i seem to think it is...  she does not have the nostalgic memories of it and lost patience with it quickly, opting to read a book or play on her phone after about the first twenty minutes!  oh well, in my mind it still rocks, and even holds up to my memories all these years later.  party on, wayne!
