What's the audition for?
A new hair metal party rock band, hopefully to be up to speed to play a bunch of parties when the plague is over. They did it the smart way and got drums, bass, and vocals together first instead of having 3 guitar players with no rhythm section for months/years. I haven't heard them yet - as long as they're decent :doe: it should be a great start. This area is drowning in country and classic rock bands but nobody plays much outside of those boxes, does anyone really need to hear Wagon Wheel again?

Here's the audition list:

:notbad:

I'd love to play in a band of any kind again, guitar/bass/vox or some combination would be :neat:

Probably never will though :ohwell:

I think I'll be rewatching Spinal Tap, Wayne's World, Bill & Ted, and Top Gun as character research. Also, we've got Bill & Ted 3 and Top Gun 2 coming soon!

Bill and Ted 3 looks fantastic
Yep!

Top Gun was pushed again from December to July, 2021. ummm, probably still won't see it in a theater at that point. Not that I don't want to see it, but I don't think I ever want to be that close to that many people chewing, coughing and laughing for a few hours again.

I'm mixed on it.

Absolutely love Excellent Adventure. Bogus Journey fell into the same trap most sequels do....overdoing what made the first movie great. Still a good movie, but didn't live up to the first. From what I can tell from the preview of Face the Music, it could go either way. And I'm not sure Keanu can do Ted "Theodore" Logan as well as he used to. Too much serious work since.

I purposely avoid trailers for movies that I know I will watch, but of all things I am least concerned about Reeves as Ted or Cruise as Maverick. The acting will be good. The writing? Eh, my expectations are low.

Bogus Journey was heinous.

Also Cobra Kai season 3 will be out eventually too!

That show is a nostalgic sequel done amazingly well.

After watching the trailer (wish I hadn't), I don't believe this to be a foregone conclusion for Reeves. Ted isn't a character he's done in...19 years? I won't say more, but I'm :notsure:

The only films of his that come to mind are the Matrix, John Wick, and the Replacements. The Replacements is not a good movie :lol:

I will say, Menard's is the only place around here that I know of with the drive-in lumber yards like that. Absolutely gamechanging.
