I'm watching Encino Man. It's actually a pretty good movie. Paulie Shore, Sean Astin and Brendan Frasier all had break-out roles... kind of. I am only 20 minutes in, but David (Sean Astin) said that hosting a pool party on the last day of school to become miraculously popular would make his life worth living. He also got pinned to a wall by a roughneck crew with knives and had "EAT ME" written on his forehead with a Sharpie. Stoney (Shore; even his teacher called him that) announced the 4 Food Groups:
"Look at what we have here. Dairy Group-- Milk Duds. Hide these under your pillow. Fruit group... Sweets Tart. Mmm, so citrusy they will bite your head off. Over here we have the vegetable group... veg-e-ta-ble group. Corn Nuts. Aww, put 'em on a pedestal, bro! *Ding* Meat group. Mmm burritos, these are my favorite. Eww, figures-- hot on the outside, icicle in the middle."
Best dialogue:
Stoney:"He doesn't know what high school is."
David: "He doesn't know what anything is. He doesn't know this is a room."
It was weird how easily and seamlessly the Cro-Magnon Man assimilated into then-current Encino, California. Also weird was that before they found Link (Frasier), we found the crazy crew in class as the teacher pulled down a cartoon rendering of the Cro-Magnon man from the map roll above the chalk board. The girls in the class then commented on how sexy the drawing was and how they'd love to get "dominated" by that primitive man. A glimpse of things to come, surely.
The sister was full of jerkish quips. Seriously, she was awful.
