There's really only two options here

Ehh, Clueless is good but not classic, let's be real.

Yr right, johnny dangerously it is!

Οὖτις, Monday, 25 May 2015 01:31 (ten years ago)

Liked Clueless a lot more 20 years after first seeing it--I can see why people revere it. But still, Fast Times. Haven't seen anything else.

clemenza, Monday, 25 May 2015 01:36 (ten years ago)

Totally forgot she did JD tbh, it's such a zucker bros knockoff

Man, Clueless didn't open any doors for her.

way harsh, tai.

franny glasshole (franny glass), Monday, 25 May 2015 02:37 (ten years ago)

Yeah, Clueless, but I Could Never Be Your Woman and Vamps are surprisingly decent (I like Fast Times just fine, too).

Look Who's Talking Too and Loser, on the other hand, are probably among the worst movies that I ever saw in theaters.

Didn't vote for it but European Vacation is great

A brief history of complaining:

1991: I'm on a plain, I can't complain.
1993: Hey wait, I've got a new complaint.
1995: He dresses funny, he listens to complaint rock, he's not even cute.

Generational sigh.

clemenza, Wednesday, 24 June 2015 00:19 (ten years ago)

(Meaning, I sort of expected Clueless to win, and it's a good film. Did not expect this to be lopsided.)

Look Who's Talking Too 1

Ok, who's trolling?

i may not have seen Fast Times in its entirety, and Penn and Leigh aside did not understand all the fuss.

Just ordered a "Written and Directed by Amy Heckerling" T-shirt from the same people who put out the Elaine May equivalent a few years ago. Their address if you're interested--they have Claire Denis and other female directors too.

(I like Clueless much more than when I voted in this four years ago--I was basing that on my 20-year-old memory of the film--but still Fast Times for me.)

clemenza, Thursday, 21 March 2019 22:29 (six years ago)

man, European Vacation gets no love anywhere! I'd say it's on par with Xmas Vacation.

rip van wanko, Thursday, 21 March 2019 22:35 (six years ago)

I watch Clueless at least once a year - it holds up extremely well imo. And props for having a gay character who was cool and friends with everybody, which you didn't see much of in mainstream 90s teen movies (I recently watched Can't Hardly Wait, a movie I remember liking in 1999, and the level of homophobia in it was... yikes.)

Managed to get through Vamps.

Borderline awful the whole way, but doesn't quite get there. Alicia Silverstone cheerfully fixes everyone's life, like in Clueless. It's got the pizza guy and Ratner from Fast Times. I bet Kael would say Sigourney Weaver and Wallace Shawn are having a great time. Jane from Breaking Bad--I like her.

Spent the whole film trying to figure out what I recognized Justin Kirk from: Angels in America.

Vamps lives across the globe from awful

Rep screening of Clueless today. Was wondering if the film popularized "my bad"; Google A.I. says yes. I now hate that phrase 1% less than I did yesterday.

clemenza, Sunday, 17 August 2025 01:41 (four months ago)

Google A.I. is wrong.

Josh in Chicago, Sunday, 17 August 2025 02:38 (four months ago)

It's too bad that Google AI was not trained to admit in advance, in every answer it gives to any search, that it often gives wrong answers, and that you should never believe it. This would allow people to understand the AI revolution more completely.

more difficult than I look (Aimless), Sunday, 17 August 2025 03:14 (four months ago)

It says it was around before that--'70s, even, and Manute Bol's name turns up frequently in various links--but does credit the film with popularizing it. I'd never encountered it myself till I heard my earliest students (circa 2000) say it. No fan of A.I., believe me--it's just regurgitating other sources--but at least seems plausible.
