This one's a little more subtle. Or not.

I've always preferred Mandy, because there always seemed to be a little more THERE there. Whatever that means.

Anyway, you shouldn't need to have who these two are explained to you. Should be obvious enough.

I have no idea what's going on so I voted grue.

I guess I need a little more clarification...

Seen the move 100 times. I never caught their names.

Babs on the left, Mandy on the right.

I still have no clue who we're talking about.

They're from Animal House

Neidermayer - DEAD!

I see, a movie that came out while my mother was still High School.

I thought that report was in error. Didn't he end up raising a family in the suburbs? I'm pretty sure I remember a clip of him arguing with his son who wasn't going to take it anymore.

And a choice between two minor characters. CLASSIC.

Yeah I've seen animal house a few times and I don't remember them. Are they just girls some of the guys were trying to sleep with?

I wouldn't call a future Senator's wife and eventual FLOTUS (per the anniversary DVD) *minor*.

(In any event, the primary female antagonists of the film)

I wouldn't call them major characters, but they did have major supporting roles, and were shown throughout the entire movie.

Haven't seen it, but it apparently passes 67% of the bechdel test, Which is a C+ on some grading scales, so there's that.

I chose grue because you made it mandatory.

And if you're gonna make one choice mandatory, I don't undrstand why you'd even provide other choices. Are you from Minipax, trying to trick me into betraying Oceania?

You know that you'll always wind up in Room 101 sooner or later...

(And sheesh, give 'em a choice between two extremely attractive blondes and they don't know what to with themselves. )

When did you give us that choice?

The first two options, duh.

Mandatory was for me to provide grue, not for you to choose it.

No, I get that. I already moved on from that lame joke. Now I'm just saying I'm not into blondes. Well, not those blondes, at least.

I may not know what to do with myself. But I do know what to do with them...

Lemme guess, you're providing this because it's first full week of classes at Morgantown this week, hm?

Trivia: Most of the scenes for NL:AH were filmed at the University of Oregon, but because Oregon's state flag was generic looking, they decided to use the Tennessee state flag in the scene where Tim Matheson addresses the fraternity council.

Trivia 2: There actually was (and is, as far as I know) a Delta Chi fraternity on the campus of UW-Whitewater when I was there.

I haven't seen that movie in years, and I don't remember them. I know this will come as a shock to everyone, but I never understood the big deal with Animal House. It came off like a movie a bunch dudes made in their spare time.

Having never seen the movie and judging strictly from the picture provided, I'll go with Mandy. She seems less serial-killer-insane.

I've actually seen the movie (twice, I think), but I don't remember the characters.

Okay, someone call @Dave and tell him I'm joining him on the "everyone's makin' me feel OLD" train.

I only remember that one of them was grabbed by Bluto in a pirate outfit so he could accompany the pillaging in the traditional manner, then later they're shown driving through the country in the stolen car with a freeze blurb referring to them as "Senator & Mrs Blutofsky".

I keep trying to read this thread's title to the tune of Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer.

Nah. It was 2am, the place was empty and I was bored. And it seems I've once again overestimated this place's knowledge of popular culture. Animal House is no longer as ubiquitous as it once was.

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

Twice today (yesterday now, Tuesday) I typed out posts referencing The Day of the Triffids, but never posted them because I figured no one would get the reference.

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.

That book is still widely read, and the 2009 adaptation (the one with Eddie Izzard) was pretty popular.

Simpsons helped keep that relevant well into my time.

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.

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.

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...

Van Wilder
Old School?

American Pie?

PCU?

Nick's Prom Night?

Denbrought said:

American Pie?

Click to expand...

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.

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

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

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.

--Patrick

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.
