Did I see Ian 'Sharknado' Zeiring in the basketball game? Probably not? Just wanting to, I guess?

Even at what has to be about 60 now and 25 in this movie, JLD has always managed to look about 35.

C. Thomas Howell looks so much like a kid I went to high school. He was white though, and better at basketball.

We're not quite halfway through, but I'm starting to feel that this movie is so unfunny, no one cares enough to cancel it.

The one thing I remember about how the denoument of this movie plays out is one of the worst things about it. (And obvs that's saying something).

It might get worse, but I could conceivably see this as something a wannabe "woke" white person would think would work today. The only difference is that someone along the way would try to stop them.
