I’m not ashamed to admit that I use “strange things are afoot at the Circle-K” on a semi-regular basis to describe anything odd or out of the ordinary.

Same Another great moment during the medieval scene, when Ted explains that he fell out of his armor and Bill just accepts that explanation it tells you everything you need to know about them. It’s so dumb but somehow perfect.

Im glad James Cameron's sci fi show devoted a significant amount of time to how awesome Bill and Ted was.

Kart Barfunkel posted:What kind of school has History project presentations in front of the whole student body and staff? Who did Bill and Ted’s lighting? How late did the entire student body stay after school for B&T’s presentation? None of them had a bus to catch? I always feel this movie missed a huge opportunity to simply show a few other Bill & Teds helping out with the show behind the scenes. They already established that they can co-exist in the same space/time and that with a loving time machine that goes anywhere and anytime you can solve any loving problem. Just a few shots of like other Bill & Teds helping run the lighting or the smoke system or such would have been amazing. That's the major issue I always have with Dr. Who. His loving time box could solve any problem ever WITH TIME ALONE but he's too much of an incompetent rear end in a top hat to realize it. jeeves fucked around with this message at 22:56 on Jun 5, 2018 |

His loving time box could solve any problem ever WITH TIME ALONE but he's too much of an incompetent rear end in a top hat to realize it. The loving bullshit Deus Ex Machina ending, in which Rose, having been sent back in time with a TARDIS that she can't operate, loving attacks it with a bulldozer or something which somehow magically solves all the problems because breaking poo poo makes magic happen, and the "Bad Wolf" thing that was foreshadowing throughout the entire season was caused by this, it's explicitly stated that it's just magic-noise distributed through time, utterly meaningless. Great writing, fucktard. The proper resolution to the situation that ties everything together and isn't poo poo, is Rose, having been sent back in time to save her life, spends the rest of her life forming a secret society dedicated to getting the TARDIS back to the Doctor, in the future, via the normal passage of time, because that's the only available way. "Bad Wolf" is the society's secret handshake kinda thing (she named it that because she kept seeing it everywhere), which in turn neatly explains why Bad Wolf was graffiti'd near the TARDIS in an earlier episode which, in the timeline, is after the time Rose was sent back to (ie. a member of her secret society saw that TARDIS and flagged it for collection, thinking it was the TARDIS they were supposed to be looking after; by the time they came to collect it it had disappeared, and they found their one was still where it was supposed to be). Now, back in the future, where the Doctor is trapped with a bunch of daleks having just sent the TARDIS away in order to save Rose, he finally figures out that this is what Bad Wolf is about, upon noticing Bad Wolf graffiti'd on a space-station wall. He Kool-Aids through the wall to find the TARDIS with like 6000 years of dust on it, perhaps along with something else to help him resolve the dalek situation since humanity has had thousands of years of forewarning to figure something out. Maybe simply a self-destruct mechanism for the space-station and a written promise that everyone on board knew that this is the time to go to the escape pods; push this button, activate your TARDIS, problem solved, you're welcome, signed bad wolf and Rose. loving heart of the TARDIS.

I always thought the reason the Doctor can't TARDIS all his problems was that the TARDIS has a mind of it's own and would just send him where it thinks he needs it to be, like, quantum leaping him.

This got sort of confirmed when it was revealed that the Tardis is the Doc's goth girlfriend.  Edit: To take it back to Bill & Ted. I'm surprised it took me as long as it did to get the Doctor Who joke with B&E's time machine.

There's lines during Tennant and Smith's eras that say that the Doctors TARDIS is kinda lovely at the best of cases, the Doctor isn't a very good driver, and you're supposed to have like eight people driving the thing. Vincent posted:Edit: To take it back to Bill & Ted. I'm surprised it took me as long as it did to get the Doctor Who joke with B&E's time machine. Iirc the original script had the time machine be a car, but they wanted to avoid ripping off BTTF. So they decided on ripping off Doctor Who, twisting poo poo around so that it's a TARDIS that is exactly as big on the inside as it is on the outside.

I rewatched the movie due to this thread. I forgotten how genial and gentle the movie is. It's really a nice family movie at heart. Bill and Ted figuring out that they're essentially invincible due to the power of time-travel was a lot funner than I remember.

I would debate them being losers. They're enjoying their lives. Other than Ted's inadvertent needling about Missy...I mean, Mom....they seem very comfortable with themselves and their place in the world. Ted's relationship with his little brother, even though it has about 30 seconds of screen time, packs a lot of authenticity in there.

They just seem like normal dudes who have ADHD or something that prevents them from performing well in school. It's kind of a neat subtle message about how some students can thrive if given access to alternative learning methods (obviously not time traveling phone booths but you get the idea).

Bill and Ted are pretty chill about sending their historical buds back in time to their certain deaths. Joan of Arc, Lincoln, Socrates and Billy the Kid would all die like immediately after returning.

Yeah they're just a couple of skater metalheads. Those guys really did exist in the late 80s (Bill and Ted are obviously caricatures). They didn't care about academics, they cared about metal, girls, and skating.

They could be stoners and shot for a certain rating so it had to be codified without explicitly stating it.

Best they can do is fake all of those deaths so they get recorded in history, I guess.

I like to believe that future Bill & Ted just replaced all of their Excellent Adventure travel buddies with Evil Metal Dickweed versions right at the time of all of their respective deaths through time travel trickery, and now everybody is just chilling in the rad future from the beginning of Bogus Journey wearing nerf shoulder pads and eating ice cream or whatever.

Maybe Bill & Ted just changed the past so the assassinated historical figures don't get assassinated. But then they end up failing their history report because they get their facts wrong.

But then I realized that while this would be a pretty good gimmick puzzle in a time-travel game, you couldn't build a whole game around this mechanic. And all the other time-travel mechanics have already been done and generally aren't that fun either.

My favorite character in the movie was Beethoven. They finally pronounce his name right in the report. He plays awesome music with the synthesizers that probably produce vibrations he can somehow hear. Him rocking out in the music store and the look he gives the clerk who asks “You’re a musician, right?” Beethoven owns!
