I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

Fast Times is a great flick. It's no Beastmaster but it's still a win.

Anybody ever read the book? I've always wanted to.
I had no idea it was based on a book, actually.

Oh. I guess I assumed he was talking about Fast Times. But now I don't know.

I wish the rest of Heckerling's movies were as good as Vamps.

Seriously? It was Cameron Crowe's first book; he went undercover as a teenager to write it. My understanding is that it's completely non-fiction, while the film was a fictitious version. Bonus trivia: It was Amy Heckerling's (Johnny Dangerously, Look Who's Talking 1&2, Clueless) first feature-length.
The second part I already knew. But not only did I not know it was a book first, I had no idea it was a Cameron Crowe book AND I'll even go further to say I had no idea Cameron Crowe had ever written a book.

Wait, no she didn't. She did some uncredited work on it but some other guy was the actual director.
