The San Diego high school class that inspired the 1982 film, Fast Times at Ridgemont High, returned for a reunion with differing opinions on the film's realism. The cult classic, directed by Amy Heckerling, was based on a book written...

In the 1982 cult-classic movie “Fast Times at Ridgemont High,” Mr. Hand, the history teacher, is often exasperated by his students’ failures and antics. In one scene, he lashes out at them: “What are you people? On dope?” after he spent three weeks talking about the Platt Amendment and many students still got C’s, D’s and F’s on their tests.

In a little over a week, @FakeAPStylebook attracted 35,000 followers, and has been included on over 2,000 lists, thanks to choice tweets like this: “While [...]

I've smoked everything. Luckys and Camels. 1Q pipe tobacco by Lane. The Cuban Punch Punch and the 1926 Padron. No more. The consumption of tobacco came to a screaching halt when the Doc found something on the lip. All is well but for a few months there was a great deal of reflection on the leaf and nothing has ever had the effect on me like a doctor saying, "...it may be cancerous." It wasn't...

I was just thinking about one of my favorite old movies – Shag — about a group of Southern girls who head down to Myrtle Beach for one last fling before one gets married and the others head to college. They flirt with local boys and spend a lot of time at a local [...]

I believe the only thing I’ve seen Phoebe Cates in is a fun, little bit she and her husband, Kevin Kline, did on Sesame Street. They are seated at a piano (Kevin plays, they both sing) and they do a number with The Count about measuring. I haven’t seen it for at least ten years and [...]
