Most TED talks seem like pointless blather with no new insights, while the speaker is only doing it to put on his stupid resume / "list of accomplishments".
The ones I like are all older. Malcolm Gladwell talking about spaghetti sauce is still great.
The more they homogenized everything, the worse the whole became. It also coincided with creating more and more content which meant the standard for what could be a TEDtalk was lowered.
And times change. If you think for a second that The Two Great Ones give a shit about someone's identity or consensual preference, that's most nontriumphant.
...whenever they would hug or express affection for each other in the movies they then called each other a slur for homosexuals stwrting with the letter F.
Crazy how people love to willfully forget how homophobic 1 and 2 were. I loved the movies too as a kid but it was what it was.
I grew up loving the movies and the animated series, but as an adult I think it's pretty lame that it was never made clear that Bill and Ted are potheads. Weed is legal, why keep pretending it's not excellent?
Because it was made in the 80's and weed wasn't legal then. You do know B&T is from the 80's, right? And assuming they're potheads means you haven't met many teenagers. I knew guys like them that never went near weed. You don't need weed to be empty-headed.
I remember watching this in the theaters and being so blown away that I stayed back and watched it again at the very next showing. The theater attendants were cool and let me do it. It's one of my favorite movies of all time and I'm surprised I haven't seen it
in 20 years.
This was the first movie I went to see in a theater with a friend without parents and paid for by collecting and returning beer bottles from construction sites. Those were the days, riding free on the bmx without helmets, causing trouble, and not a camera to found anywhere..
If only their philosophy does spark a movement of being excellent to each other. Although I guess there is still time, since the future time is the 2600s?

That movie is such a feel-good ride until they call each-other f*gs.
Sign of the times....i get it...but, just fucking jarring when you're not expecting it.

Banjo-Oz@reddit
I can't stand them, generally. Most feel like "people hate this one simple trick" but in person, or "why I am so great".

Oh sorry that part of Bill and Ted was scrubbed from history because of intolerance....

They said it once in the first film.

VenusVignette@reddit (OP)
What if they were gay? Calling someone a f word in gay culture is fine.
EloquentGoose@reddit
They were obviously being homophobic. Bill even called the devil a fa- in the 2nd one. But whatever......
VenusVignette@reddit (OP)
We queers legit don't care. We indulge in the queer representation.

Keanu Reeves my beloved in one of his best roles! 🥰

It's truly a shame that the 80's fashion resurgence skipped baggy crop tops for men

Perfectly legitimate, my good dude.

the first ted talks were in 1984 fwiw, 5 years before this movie came out

Both Keanu Reeves and Alex Winter seem like excellent people.

Bill is still fighting the good fight for the people of Gaza, while Ted has become a modern symbol of humility and decency
