Like, sometimes man...you just need a high...

...resolution transfer of bitching times with your good friends.

You need some good tunes, and someone to explain it all to you.

And, like, not just explain, but hang out like Richard Linklater does, ya know?

But once the smoke clears and you are no longer dealing with the chilliest hang out movie OF ALL TIME, what you have is one of the quintessential logs of how a movie goes from a box office bomb to a beloved cultural touchstone. An intensive documentary by Academy Award nominated filmmaker Kahane Cooperman (nee Corn) is presented alongside essay by Chuck Klosterman, cemented the significance of Linklater’s work. One of my favorite features is the original television version of the trailer, all grainy and and distorted, like I remember seeing it on MTV.

And this is one of my favorite cover reinterpretations, stealing visual cues from the pool hall and the films own upcoming bicentennial. It perfectly captures the experience of a high schooler's notebook and he visual motifs of variety shows from the 70’s.

I dig it, man.
