actually, i think she did a good job with the role. kim is a bit irritating, though on purpose i assume. i liked the mixture of petulance and silliness and suspicion and good-heartedness, but i can see how some could find her grating.

― lauren (laurenp), Thursday, 8 April 2004 20:33 (twenty years ago) link

It's not even that I find her grating so much as just ... bland and intangible. Grain of salt: I feel the same way about Chloe Sevigny in everything but American Psycho.

I thought Busy was great on Freaks. When she showed up on Dawsons I was like, huh? Linda C is great. Has she done anything sense? How much are they charging for this thing?

― Mary (Mary), Thursday, 8 April 2004 21:16 (twenty years ago) link

She's the geeky girl in Scooby Doo, I think

― miloauckerman (miloauckerman), Thursday, 8 April 2004 21:18 (twenty years ago) link

Busy Phillips gets bonus points for being part of a weird sub-genre of teen-indie movies that I see on cable, always starring Dominique Swain or some other jailbait starlet.

― miloauckerman (miloauckerman), Thursday, 8 April 2004 21:19 (twenty years ago) link

Linda C is great. Has she done anything sense?

I think she is on ER, but I can't say for sure since I don't watch that show.

dominique swain has become such a straight-to-video siren!

The Smokers, New Best Friend, Tart, oh so many more.

(woah, the photo on her IMDB page is scarrrry)

― miloauckerman (miloauckerman), Thursday, 8 April 2004 21:40 (twenty years ago) link

new best friend is the worst friend a moviegoer can have

― s1ocki (slutsky), Thursday, 8 April 2004 21:47 (twenty years ago) link

(sorry)

― s1ocki (slutsky), Thursday, 8 April 2004 21:47 (twenty years ago) link

That one was bad enough that even I couldn't sit through it.

― miloauckerman (miloauckerman), Thursday, 8 April 2004 21:48 (twenty years ago) link

last night i was supposed to go out. since i just got the box set, my friend and i decided to have a few drinks and watch a few episodes first before leaving the house. we never made it. instead, we drank a bottle of stoli and ploughed through 3 of the discs. everyone, go get a copy. borrow or steal $ if necessary. this show was truly amazing, and the kid who played haverchuk is unquestionably a genius.

― lauren (laurenp), Friday, 9 April 2004 18:49 (twenty years ago) link

$120 :(((((((((((((((((((((

― Lil' Fancy Kpants (The K is Silent) (ex machina), Friday, 9 April 2004 18:51 (twenty years ago) link

Linda C is definitely the spunky nurse on ER. She's also Velma in the Scooby Doo movies.

― VengaDan Perry (Dan Perry), Friday, 9 April 2004 18:51 (twenty years ago) link

1an J0hns0n used to look like Sam!!!

― Lil' Fancy Kpants (The K is Silent) (ex machina), Friday, 9 April 2004 18:52 (twenty years ago) link

I am going to watch this tonight, most definitely.

― dean! (deangulberry), Friday, 9 April 2004 18:57 (twenty years ago) link

This series gets a lot better as it goes. And Biff-from-Back-to-the-Future (I can never remember his real name) is great as the Coach.

― Tep (ktepi), Friday, 16 April 2004 18:49 (twenty years ago) link

his attempts to bond with bill when he starts dating bill's mom are hysterical.

― lauren (laurenp), Friday, 16 April 2004 18:52 (twenty years ago) link

OMG I forgot about that.

― Lil' Fancy Kpants (The K is Silent) (ex machina), Friday, 16 April 2004 18:58 (twenty years ago) link

Haverchuk does not have the mohawk anymore.

― lisafrank! (deangulberry), Friday, 16 April 2004 18:59 (twenty years ago) link

i am so jealous that you know haverchuk. UNFAIR!

― lauren (laurenp), Friday, 16 April 2004 19:00 (twenty years ago) link

his attempts to bond with bill when he starts dating bill's mom are hysterical.

that may have been the best moment in the entire decent, but overrated series. I kinda liked the Dead episode, of course.

O HOW DARE U

― lisafrank! (deangulberry), Friday, 16 April 2004 19:11 (twenty years ago) link

just finished watching the whole series in 3 days. i feel like i just went through high school again. very happy about the last episode. i was worried about the lack of d&d on the geek side of things.

― Felonious Drunk (Felcher), Friday, 16 April 2004 19:16 (twenty years ago) link

Did all teenagers listen to The Who back in 1981 tho'?

The anachronisms (this one didn't seem so off) are really annoying.

― gabbneb (gabbneb), Friday, 16 April 2004 19:17 (twenty years ago) link

The anachronisms really don't bother me at all -- unlike The Wonder Years, or Happy Days at least some of the time, being a period show doesn't seem to be the point of it. It's set in the early 80s, but it isn't about them.

― Tep (ktepi), Friday, 16 April 2004 19:22 (twenty years ago) link

wifey signed the petition, but bought the cheap version. also read that Undeclared will make it to dvd.

― JaXoN (JasonD), Friday, 16 April 2004 19:47 (twenty years ago) link

I got the cheap version; am I a fool? I had forgotten about the whole Cindy Sherman thing! I read that Linda C. is now on E.R.--I have to watch. I have the biggest crush on Lindsay Weir.

― Mary (Mary), Friday, 16 April 2004 21:58 (twenty years ago) link

ehh... just finished the whole thing. sorta sad. and yes, ian johnson did used to look like sam.

THE BEN STILLER EPISODE! WHY?!?!?!?!?!!? V

― deanomgwtf!!!p%3Fmsgid%3D4581997 (deangulberry), Friday, 28 May 2004 15:57 (nineteen years ago) link

Been watching them on DVD, kick ass. We're only 4 episodes in though, then when we finish I get to go back and listen to the 30 COMMENTARY TRACKS I AM SUCH A DORK!

― NA (Nick A.), Friday, 28 May 2004 15:58 (nineteen years ago) link

Also, Martin Starr is the finest actor of our generation (and I mean that).

― NA (Nick A.), Friday, 28 May 2004 15:58 (nineteen years ago) link

When you get to the last disc, skip the second episode. Don't watch it. SO FUCKING BAD.

― deanomgwtf!!!p%3Fmsgid%3D4581997 (deangulberry), Friday, 28 May 2004 15:59 (nineteen years ago) link

You're like Marty McFly, giving me advice from the future.

― NA (Nick A.), Friday, 28 May 2004 16:01 (nineteen years ago) link

I want to go back in time and neuter Jerry Stiller.

― deanomgwtf!!!p%3Fmsgid%3D4581997 (deangulberry), Friday, 28 May 2004 16:03 (nineteen years ago) link

It makes me so angry. They had built up those great characters and then in one episode they shit all over them.

― deanomgwtf!!!p%3Fmsgid%3D4581997 (deangulberry), Friday, 28 May 2004 16:04 (nineteen years ago) link

i want to marry haverchuk.

― lauren (laurenp), Friday, 28 May 2004 16:04 (nineteen years ago) link

Move to LA and you probably could.

― deanomgwtf!!!p%3Fmsgid%3D4581997 (deangulberry), Friday, 28 May 2004 16:04 (nineteen years ago) link

omg

― lauren (laurenp), Friday, 28 May 2004 16:05 (nineteen years ago) link

actually though
all the stoner dudes back then
WERE into the Who!

― Begs2Differ (Begs2Differ), Friday, 28 May 2004 16:06 (nineteen years ago) link

every now and then i think about the fact that dean had drinks with haverchuk, and i get really angry and jealous.

― lauren (laurenp), Friday, 28 May 2004 16:13 (nineteen years ago) link

But you get burritoville with hstencil! *swoons*

― deanomgwtf!!!p%3Fmsgid%3D4581997 (deangulberry), Friday, 28 May 2004 16:15 (nineteen years ago) link

i'll trade. totally. i mean, i'll miss him and all but haverchuk holy shit!

― lauren (laurenp), Friday, 28 May 2004 16:17 (nineteen years ago) link

I hear he's gassy though, so maybe I'll have to think about it.

― deanomgwtf!!!p%3Fmsgid%3D4581997 (deangulberry), Friday, 28 May 2004 16:18 (nineteen years ago) link

Lauren is such a horny spinster!!!!!!

― Be sure to Loop! Loop, Loop, Loop. (ex machina), Friday, 28 May 2004 16:19 (nineteen years ago) link

Also, are you as outraged by that Ben Stiller episode? I bothered me greatly. The series was perfect until that episode.

― deanomgwtf!!!p%3Fmsgid%3D4581997 (deangulberry), Friday, 28 May 2004 16:19 (nineteen years ago) link

SO MAD I CAN'T EVEN SPELL

― deanomgwtf!!!p%3Fmsgid%3D4581997 (deangulberry), Friday, 28 May 2004 16:24 (nineteen years ago) link

it's don't think it's a good episode, but it doesn't make me mad. disappointed, more like. i don't like the "kim kelly is my friend" episode, either.

loved this. the dramatic elements were grounded and relatable, regardless of when you grew up. hell, Nick's failed drumming audition was heartbreaking! or Neil finding out his dad was a low-life.
