(POLL) You know Ginger or Mary Ann, Betty or Veronica, but...

I'd like 10,000 marbles, please.

I like to imagine there's an episode of Babylon 5 where Vir asks this of someone in the Zócalo.

To make the poll totally unfair, you should have put Katy up against Mandy.

 

[Gruebeard]

You are incorrect.
Though really, it's my wife who'd really get it. She was tipsy once while watching the movie, and to her then-boyfriend's chagrin, started lampooning the movie: "Oh no! It's a rampaging rutabaga! <pause> A silly celery! <pause> A terrible turnip! Bwee-hee-heee-heeeee!"
If you want to go obscure, you should reference Island of Terror.

--Patrick

I'm talking about the novel, though. And the reference I was gonna make was to vegans facing a moral dilemma regarding their vitamin supplements.

It just felt too obscure, although maybe @Denbrought might've caught it.

 

[Tinwhistler]

Because it's older than a lot of the people here, and the movie really isn't that big of a deal anymore.

It's not like he made some post about choosing between Kim Cattrall Kaki Hunter in Porkeys.

I'm trying to think what film Animal House is most similar to, from my generation, to those of the 90's/0ughts...

 

[sixpackshaker]

Van Wilder
Old School?

 

[Denbrought]

American Pie?

 

[Null]

PCU?

 

[Dave]

Nick's Prom Night?

 

[Bubble181]

American Pie?

Never seen that either, but as far as I can estimate the cultural relevance and such, this was what I was going to say, too.

 

[PatrThom]

I was going to say The Breakfast Club, but then I looked and found out it was from 1985.
The Commitments, maybe? Or Wet Hot American Summer?

--Patrick

 

[jwhouk]

American Pie I think is spot on. Van Wilder was a bad attempt at an AH2 by the National Lampoon people.

 

[Charlie Don't Surf]

The Commitments, maybe? Or Wet Hot American Summer?

those are cult classics if you're being extremely generous.


Also, the point of those choice things are two very different women, not two nearly identical. It should be like, Babs and... Nancy Allen's character, that was dating the somewhat serious guy and the donald sutherland professor

Hey, at least I didn't say Cosi.

I was trying to compare it (Animal House) to other ensemble comedies where each character had their own individual story.

Animal House is still important because it spawned the "college gross-out" genre in which a fraternity gets up to wild hijinks.

"They confiscated everything. Even the stuff we didn't steal!"

Btw, I wonder if Babs still works at Universal Studios.

No, they discontinued that a few years ago.
