Oh yes, now I saw Bill & Ted on youtube I vaguely remember seeing it
before, long ago. I guess I wasn't completely sober, since the movie
didn't complete its way into my memorybanks apparently. But that suits
that movie just fine. ;-)
It is a lot like Wayne's World, but made a few years earlier.
Keanu Reeves was still a teenager.
And woooooah, are we getting off topic here!
Thanks for posting. ;-)
