The neighbor is out there with a skid steer again. Third attempt at leveling the pool. At this point it’s less home improvement and more a live-action beta test. Pretty sure this guy couldn’t ride a bicycle in a straight line, but somehow he’s piloting heavy equipment like he’s auditioning for a low-budget construction show. Every weekend I get a front-row seat to another episode of Pool Leveling: The Reckoning.

Hoo boy have times changed, the climactic video bit would definitely get the writers interrogated and not be in the movie as such these days, which is probably for the best.
At the same time, in case anyone was unclear on stuff that was just kinda accepted (as far as I could tell as a weird kid with no friends or freedom, anyway - which isn’t exactly a ringing endorsement now that I think about it) in the ‘90s, here it is. Like a lot. Not just the shit humor.
Hoo boy.

I’ve never seen Mallrats for a whole bunch of reasons - no money or freedom in the ‘90s, just to name two. This is one of the most ‘90s movies you’ll ever see. Obviously this isn’t a model for healthy relationships, but still.
Oh hey, the Hartford Whalers appear in this - they’ve been the Carolina Hurricanes for about 25 years.
