I’m currently sitting in top notch. Figured this would be a good place to share that.
Probably should have added that both O'Bannion's cracked paddle nd Mel's soul pole are framed next to the cash register

How that kid ever got this part blows my mind? He is so awkward with the nose touching.

Minus the seniors openly hazing the freshmen, it's also close to being a documentary for the way it was for a small town high school kid in the 70's.
Wait, are you saying that hazing was not done in the 70s?
It was done well into the 90s throughout Texas & LA high schools.

I agree with that.

Never saw it anywhere but on sports practice facilities. Never saw it going on with civilian students on campus, but I went to public schools. Might have caught a slash from a cake cutter, or a Case knife back then. We all carried one, or the other.

It'd be a whole lot cooler if you did just keep your shitty opinions to yourself.

Parker Posey was in the film just enough. She was smoking hot in the film, and if she had ever been looking for a place to sit and rest her feet I would have gladly offered my face, but she was a bitchy supporting character and filled the role nicely; asking that character to be anymore and it probably would have been annoying.
And Wooderson has gone into the supporting character hall of fame for being cool as shite. His entrance to The Emporium with Dylan’s “Hurricane” playing is bad fricking arse. However, ever town has a Wooderson. A dude named Blake was my town’s Wooderson. He graduated when I was a freshman and never left, but he also never really did much besides hang around all the old high school hangouts. He had been popular in high school and I guess never wanted to leave. We all thought he was cool and we were friends, but then we all graduated and went to college or got jobs and he just hung around, still doing the same old shite. After a while, you realized he was sad and creepy. Too much focus on Wooderson would have made you realize that he really wasn’t cool at all; just a washed up has-been trying to recapture his glory days by hanging out with a bunch of 16 and 17 year olds.
As it stands both are great characters that add a lot to the film, but they are both DEFINITE supporting characters.

Where I'm from the freshmen would get their heads shaved by the seniors. This was still going on until at least the late 90s as far as I know.

I went to public school in Lafayette & our girls service club, among other females clubs, Les Amis would do nearly the exact same stuff from Dazed to the freshman. On campus.
Athletics teams always had their own hazing/shaved heads/paddling/locker stuffing/embarrassing costumes/etc.

I've never been transported in time by a film as I was by Dazed and Confused. I was in the class between Pink and Mitch (Summer between Soph and Jr years in '76). The Freshman hazing had ended at our school a couple of years before I got there, so that was the only missed part for me.
Everybody Wants Some wasn't as spot on. It hit my college years dead center, and did a good job of showing how disco and country music dominated in those years in the south (Saturday Night Fever/Urban Cowboy), but squeezing disco/country/punk all into the same weekend didn't really work for the film. The character who turns out to be an older guy who doesn't want to leave college hit home for me. We had a couple of guys who turned out to be way older than we'd thought at the time.

I haven't seen the movie in ages...after that happens does affleck have any more scenes or did they have to take him off shooting IRL for treatment? I guess what I'm asking is did the leg breaking change his involvmenet in the movie's filming
