Ratner looks like a guy that's probably the same way in real life as you see in the movie..the proverbial honest "nice guy"...the type women walk across their back, pausing only to wipe the bottoms of their shoes, and continuing on to chase after the classic shallow a-hole narc males i.e. 'Mike Demone'. Seen it my entire lifetime and always felt bad for those poor guys.
"Man I can see it all now, it's gonna be just like last summer. You fell in love with that girl at the fotomat. You bought $40 worth of fuckin film and you never even talked to her. You don't even own a camera."
Being a philandering douchebag is almost as bad as being an incel. There's no wisdom in this, as the movie clearly lays out. How about being an actual man who looks for a meaningful, long lasting relationship with a woman?
Damone ends up being a jerk but you have to give him some credit for trying help out his friend. It was his coaching and pushing that got Rat close to getting laid. Mark screwed that up all by himself

Not just today's.... 😂 Fotomat hasn't been a thing since the 80s, nearly 40 years. Even the successor to fotomat... The "One Hour Photo" has been gone for decades.
I know. For some reason that makes it really really funny. As if Ratt couldn’t get the cassette tape for four and only had physical graffiti so he played something for that instead. Subtly hilarious. Word has it that many theaters erupted in cheers when they smash cutted to the car scene and it was playing. :-)
I really wish I could remember what album cover is portrayed in the poster on the wall behind Damone, of the female with white boots, white dolphin shorts, and it looks like memorabilia pins all over her body. Anyone?
With movies like this, it’s no wonder I grew up in the 80’s thinking something is wrong with me if I’m not “getting laid” in high school, which I didn’t. Social programming via Hollywood and media.
Let's admit, though. We want (wanted) to believe Damone, but he was mostly full of chit. He was more like the guy with the hairy chest and gold necklace than a real "lady's man."
Probably the most honest movie about teen life in the 80s. Dazed and Confused is most honest for the 70s. So what movies are the most accurate about other decades?
Singles... another Cameron Crow movie filmed in Seattle early 90’s life before sonic boom of so called grunge thing happened. Backwards .. Stand By Me, excellent. And further back classic Rebel Without a Cause. Post 2000 zero scene for teenagers, music, vibe, .... not about doing, and doing with it’s become solitude, social media, fakery, instantaneous gratification, no struggle or practice.... no more Eddie Van Halen, Randy Rhoads pillars of commitment to their skill spent years before they saw a stage, zero cheats no auto tune or someone else to write you a hit, toured in a broken down van with shitty equipment and ate ‘tossed salad’ (David Grohl and bands staple for years one bag of lettuce with little packed dressing shake it and hands in) all that struggle and perseverance creates a genuinely talented, successful, humble and deserving person for whatever successes come their way and not forgetting those who got them there. Social media Fame, influencers who do nothing for having only love of attention and money and appearance of having the perfect life... not living it without ego but is their only driving force and driving that car will only get you crashed into a wall or broke down on side of the road and nobody cares. From my view of my past and what it was to looking at current view and how much of the good important stuff is gone and changed not replaced by something even better, instead a void and view of future seems decline of human civilization. Human connection is far less and division will not build a fulfilling future. Well if your still awake that was my thesis hope you enjoyed what a trip down fast times lane took me to. Good ole days. Peace 🤘❤️💋🙏🏻
Ahh the good old days of pleats, men with soft wavy hair, and 30 year old high school students! Such a classic film and Robert Romanus was awesome as Damone! But i am curious, was he supposed to be a transfer from NYC? I was born and raised in southern California and have never heard whatever that accent is. 😂😂😂
I never picked up on the bottles of liquor behind his bureau and that it appears he was making white Russians. Throughout the movie, Damone's philosophy on women was quite accurate, but he was wrong about women deciding within 5 minutes of speaking to a guy if he's worthy or not. The harsh reality is, women decide this within seconds of looking at a guy, and then its really just up to the guy not to go screw it up
N...no. any woman who can decide that in such short time, is an airhead with nothing going on upstairs. Lol. Hardly a conquest worth mentioning, and just as quickly as you got in there, you wanna get out and hope and pray you don't run into her again.
No need to waste your time and or $ in the Manishere.1 minute and 51 seconds tells you all you need to know.And oh yeah,this was made 40 years ago.✋️🎤.
The attitude dictates that you don't care whether she comes, stays, lays, or prays. I mean whatever happens, your toes are still tappin!!
"whether she CUMS, stays, lays or prays..."
Yeah, that’s what he says..
A piece of sound advice, if ever there was one.
@@RiZeUpAbove hate to break it to you norman bates but it is…
I ran into Ratner in the East Village NYC during a midnight run to the deli many years ago and I said hi! He was so happy that he got recognized 😊
Wow that’s cool. I love it when people share stuff like this!

One of my favorite scenes from this movie.
Fuck ya. Background music is badass. Graham Nash
..and "If she can't smell your qualifications!.. then who needs her!!"..lol
I like how Damone feels the need to explain what a "wuss" is, like he coined the term himself.
He probably did.
This was the 80s and the term “wuss”was new, so yeah, he explained it.
There was life prior to 2021.

Damone was awesome in this scene.
That's my favorite line in this scene. Because he sold Damone's irritation at that so well. 😂
The amount of wisdom in this short scene is unbelievable. This should be made mandatory viewing in attempts to deprogram incels.
I apply this wisdom every day.

Nah what he did wasn't wrong...Rat didn't fuck her , and he basically never does. So what's Damone supposed to do let some other guy fuck her?
But he laid his crush...
@@robertlewis644
His crush lured Damone into having sex
What did Ratner screw up?
@@RideAcrossTheRiver
His date with Stacey
I love this guy! his advice is priceless.
One of my favorite movies and I never really understood this until decades later now....oh the heartache it could of saved me.
Sixty percent of the time, that works every time!
I still laugh out loud at Damone's soliloquy. "I can see it all now...."
Its even funnier if you imagine Rat walking into science class like Damone suggested the next day

I always wondered who done the voice for Harry the cab driver in heavy metal find out it was the dude who played mike damone
The dude who played Mike Damone was Robert Romanus. The guy that played Harry the cab driver was his older brother, Richard Romanus
And for the record, Rat never played side 2 of Led Zeppelin 4!
but Kashmir from Physical Graffiti
I know. For some reason that makes it really really funny. As if Ratt couldn’t get the cassette tape for four and only had physical graffiti so he played something for that instead. Subtly hilarious.

Don't forget about Damone's "five point plan"! Men have died trying to get that valuable information, lol!

Damone is so freakin’ funny

Man I love this movie. Damone is the man😂😂
Love the posters. Especially the tattoo you stones. I remember those days.
Best movie I hope they make it on 4K this was my time I look how people act now so sad 80s will always rule 🤘🤘🤘🤘

Sounds to me like you were a Rat, not a Damone in high school
nah u just ugly
I think most of us thought the same thing. This came out my senior year. I thought everyone but me was having sex.
Everyone can identify with least one of these characters... high school was a brutal Symphony
Let's admit, though. We want (wanted) to believe Damone, but he was mostly full of chit. He was more like the guy with the hairy chest and gold necklace than a real "lady's man."
i knew a guy in high school that was pretty much like damone lol
was in the late 90s
i love how rat puts his hands in his head when damone starts about the girl from last summer
You bought $40 of fackin film 0:42
"You are a Wuss-part wimp,part puxxy"-Classic!😂
Robert Romanus (Mike Damone) hails from West Hartford Connecticut !!!
What’s the poster behind Ratner and next to the stop sign? Same thing with the two behind Damone which next to the Devo poster?

I always thought Damone was too old to be in high school then, and i feel the same today.
He looks 40 🤣
Interestingly enough, I think he and the actor who plays Rat are the exact same age.
At the time, they were both 26 lol
I did not. I enjoyed the movie and didn’t even think about it. He acted the part GREAT !
Damone.... The best thirty five old senior at Ridgemont.
“Act like wherever you are that’s the place to be…..
That is actually good advice.
What’s the white shorts blue background poster? Saw someone said B52s but what album? I can’t find the full version of that poster anywhere.
