The dude in the limo!!!!!!!!!!!


spoilers..









Man, what a beaten he took from both jack and rollergirl, wonder how long it took him to get over that? Wonder what kinda damage was done to his skull, and mentally would have been scared for life after a beating like that. Wonder if he learned his lesson of being a smart alec.

Will say I think he had it coming

Nah, people don't change. Now, if he ran into Jack again then sure he wouldn't smart off to him, but someone like that will always look for someone else to bully or dump on. He'll just be more cautious about it from now on.

As much as I hated the guy and loved seeing him catch a severe beatdown by Jack, I found what Rollergirl did to be absolutlely dispicable.

I just realized the other day that he's the guy that makes the obsene gesture at her in class.

Please, go...Stop smiling, it's not a joke. Please leave...The party's over. Get out.

Yeah, that's pretty much the point of the scene. Just watch Heather Graham's face the whole time. She sells it so well. Shame her acting chops haven't always been put to good use.

Anyone here mentions Hotel California dies before the first line clears his lips.

I thought it went too far. The skate stomping in particular.

And though Rollergirl, and Jack were P.O.'d by his disrespectful demeanor, what set Jack off was the guy saying his movies "suck now anyway," and for Rollergirl, it was being recognized by him, and forced to see herself as Brandy the High School dropout, and not Rollergirl the pornstar.

It seemed more like the breaking point for both of them was being forced to recognize their failures as not mere invalid nagging worries, but undeniable realities which other people can see.

Very astute observations on the motivations behind why Jack and Roller Girl did what they did.
