My amazing wife bought me this album recently, so obviously it's playing tonight. What other weird little media quirks/obsessions do we have?
("I have no legs")

Fun fact, Rex manning day was chosen to be 4/8 because that’s the day Kurt cobain was found dead.
Poor_Richard@reddit
April 8th is on the flyers in the movie. Rex Manning Day in the movie is April 8th. That is the only reason.
i_spit_troof@reddit
Incorrect.
melissisms@reddit
Upvote for “I have no legs.” I’m going to be chanting that all day now.
Lost_Ad6912@reddit
Is that the same movie?

I recently showed my two older kids (14F and 10M) the Lord of the Rings movies, and I realized they have no context for Liv Tyler at all.

Romy and Michelle was da bomb for my HS BFF. We even dances to "Time after Time" at our prom. We did weird moves and a one of our friends "in the know" shouted out "Sandy Frink just showed up in a helicopter!" Our prom had under 30 students, including their dates, so we could be silly. My friend abd still quite Romy and Michelle.

I usually watch The Crow on October 30, devil's night.
DukeSpaghetti@reddit
I watch Boondocks Saints on st Patrick’s day
Normal-Ad-1903@reddit (OP)
Same here!(random inside joke, but this year)

Rdubya291@reddit
Same! When I was in my 20s, my friend and I would draw characters names out of a hat. Whenever your character used any derivative of the word "fuck", you had to drink.
First time we came up with the came, we tried it with Jameson. The bottle was empty after 20 minutes and we were hammered. So every 5th 'fuck' was a shot after that.
Negative-Wrap95@reddit
Same. Also Independence Day on July, 4th and at least one of the original three Evil Dead movies on Ash Wednesday.
squarebodynewb@reddit
Why not v for vendetta on the 5th of november?
avalonfaith@reddit
Yeees, went with my little stinker friends to watch ID4 when it came out on 7/4 and it was glorious. Sti high up in fav movies. I don't even know if it's good or bad, I just get good feels from it.
_buffy_summers@reddit
That's when I watch Fallen and/or Hocus Pocus.
Normal-Ad-1903@reddit (OP)

Rex Manning day is coming.
atomicbunny@reddit
the fact that GWAR's "Saddam A Go Go" and Queen Sarah Saturday's "Seems" aren't on the soundtrack will always disappoint me.
graveybrains@reddit
Thankfully we were taught from an early age to check the track listing before buying a soundtrack.
atomicbunny@reddit
Ok having never seen Iron Eagle what song is in the movie that isn’t on the soundtrack??
graveybrains@reddit
"Old Enough to Rock and Roll" by Rainey Haynes
"Gimme Some Lovin'" by The Spencer Davis Group
"Eyes of the World" by Eric Martin
"We're Not Gonna Take It" by Twisted Sister
"Proud Mary" by Ike & Tina Turner
"There Was a Time" by James Brown
Jobeadear@reddit
Never owned the soundtrack, but that is terrible, GWAR is absolutely notable and memorable in this movie, insane to leave them out of the soundtrack regardless on how different their music is.
DasKittySmoosh@reddit
The official soundtrack always upset me. Put it on yesterday after not touching it since I had the CD and my frustration was renewed

Ethan Embry nee Randle. My wife and I watch a movie called “Dutch” with him and Ed O’Neil every Thanksgiving.

Best full circle ending too
-NigheanDonn@reddit
That was Ethan Embry in “Dutch”? I remember seeing it as a kid but I haven’t seen it recently. I love “Can’t Hardly Wait” my husband and I still say “he’s kind of tall, he wears shirts sometimes …” when describing people
RoyDonkeyKong@reddit
They reunited briefly for a Dragnet revival. Show didn’t last, but I thought the Dutch reunion was cool.
ViewAskewRob@reddit
Yes! I was going to mention that but thought it was too deep for anyone to care about haha. I thought it was a pretty good revival of Dragnet. But I was like 21 so I could just be remembering it through rose-colored glasses.
Santa_Hates_You@reddit
Holy shit, that is Coyote?
Fair_Blood3176@reddit
Yup. Less hair. It's funny tho the amount of hair he has changes as the show goes on. Hair plugs methinks
Santa_Hates_You@reddit
Could be. I am just upset he never ended up with Mallory by the end of the series.
FarmerMom1943@reddit
Same!
Fair_Blood3176@reddit
Wait was that what was going on at the beginning? At the start they had this awkward conversation but nothing ever came of it. Did I totally miss that lol

The alluded to having dated before she got married, after her divorce they were never more than a little flirty, I just thought they made a good couple.

My main gripe about this soundtrack, and really its jus the one gripe, is it doesn't have the movie version of sugar high on it

For the first time, or just as a thing? I should dig it up. Been too long since I enjoyed some 'Trek.

First Contact Day was April 5.

Not over done enough, I haven't seen celebratory post about Rex Manning day sans the one I made on Facebook .

I have never felt so old as when I watched Scream 7 and saw my teenage crush Ethan Embry looking like this...
graveybrains@reddit
He still got those puppy dog eyes 🥺
LStarfish@reddit
This. I had a crus on him too. I met him in/about 2012. He was already balding then and looked a little rough. He had stories of drugs and his children aging him. (I worked on the set of “Imaginary Friend”)

1st Empire Records watch was at my high school friend's synagogue's lock-in (remember lock-ins???) high school, I took acid she and other did other substances. We vaned to live Rocky Horror, came back and watch movies. I was a VERY intense night. Wasn't even naive to set/setting, etc. why I dropped there I will never know. Not saying it was bad, it just was not very free.
therealpopkiller@reddit
I listened to it today too. A perfect record
longdeadbedhead@reddit
Schtoooops, but seriously never on Rex manning day.
tav7623@reddit
tav7623@reddit
I also have the soundtrack, but mine is on CD :p
madsci@reddit
All I remember from it is "A Girl Like You".
tav7623@reddit
What?! you don't remember Sugar High, Ready Steady Go, or Til I Hear It From You?
madsci@reddit
I can't remember if I've actually seen the movie - my then-wife just bought me the soundtrack for that one song, I think.
I don't remember Sugar High. Ready, Stead, Go I had elsewhere. Till I Hear it From You, on the other hand, was never a favorite but it's one of those songs that brings back the feel of unbearable humidity and the smell of disinfectant because it was on the radio constantly when I was a dishwasher at a restaurant in Florida during the summer of 1995.
_Internet_Hugs_@reddit
All day I've been going, "April 8th. April 8th. What is today? I know it's something."
Duh, it's Rex Manning Day!
seanie_rocks@reddit
I "bought" this album in like 1995 or 1996 from Columbia House and still have the CD floating around my house somewhere.

Watched it earlier today. Usually watch Joe Dirt on 4th of July and Groundhog day on Feb 2 as well.
