We're not worthy! We're not worthy!

To quote the dvd cover: "In the tradition of 'Lawrence of Arabia' and 'Gandhi' comes a sweeping screen epic bursting with spectacle and drama...NOT!!!"
AND THANK CHRIST FOR THAT! I dare not imagine what would have happened if Mike Myers had ever attempted anything close to a serious tone with 90s comedy classics, "Wayne's World" 1 & 2.

Possibly the most quotable film OF ALL TIME (in my house anyway) it was really only a matter of time before I paid homage to Wayne Campbell.

For anyone who's never seen "Wayne's World", or it's sequel, i judge you. Nahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh not really, if anything, I pity you. But if you have a humourous bone in your body you'll want to watch this, and here's why:

1. Quotage to last a lifetime - Believe me when I say I quote "Wayne's World" every day. Granted some days more than others, but from the common conversational phrase ("Exqueeze me? A baking powder?") to the crude ("Ill have the cream-of-sum-yung-guy") to the just plain obscure ("SHHHHHHHWWWWWWWWIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNNGGGGG") - I advise you add these phrases to your repetoire.

2. You want to be friends with most of the cast - I defy anyone to watch it and not want to be friends with Wayne and Garth - sure they have annoying qualities, but doesn't everyone? 'Course.

3. Christopher Walken endorses it - so it must be cool.

4. It takes nothing seriously - In writing these films Myers has blatantly went to town in many respects: the plentiful parodies (too many to mention), casting impossibly attractive women as their girlfriends (Tia Carrere and Kim Basinger), the alternate endings (most notably Scooby Doo ending)...the list really is quite endless. Basically what anyone in their right mind would do given a small budget and a brilliant cast. Genius.

5. Del Preston - If you don't who this is I'll have to beat you to death with your own shoes...

6. It's got a bitchin' soundtrack - The Bohemian Rhapsody car scene has now gained legendary status, throw in some Aerosmith, Alice Cooper, Black Sabbath and Hendrix and we got ourselves a party!

7. It makes Delaware cool - a feat that had never been done before and has never been done since.



Party on!
