Why wasn’t Lawrence Hilton-Jacobs ten times as active as an actor? I wouldn’t have minded if we got less Boom Boom Washington if it meant more big movie roles.
It was good to see a pre-SNL Garrett Morris in a more serious role. Another guy who should have had a much larger career.
Oh, and Robert Townsend is in this (uncredited) for about ten seconds!
My first thought for today’s fake poster was a riff on Vanilla Ice’s “Cool As Ice,” but copying the title design would have meant writing it like this:
COOL
EY
HIGH
and that looked dumb. Then I thought about using a different high school movie like Fast Times at Ridgemont High, but that seemed too similar. So I went with a movie that takes place in the same city, but in a different decade.
