Buzz Lines: What's Your Favorite Quote From Fast Times at Ridgemont High?

Lizzie Fuhr — Wed, 22 Feb 2012 08:00:00 PST

Fast Times at Ridgemont High is a coming-of-age comedy that continues to set the bar for high school movies. Written by Cameron Crowe, Fast Times takes on difficult issues but manages to stay light and funny. With an unforgettable cast that includes Sean Penn as Jeff Spicoli, the movie is also super quotable. There are a ton of memorable lines, so check out our favorites below, and be sure to add your own in the comments.

"What are you, people? On dope?" - Mr. Hand
"In Ridgemont? We can't even get cable TV here, Stacy, and you want romance." - Linda
"Aloha, Mr. Hand!" - Spicoli

Fast Times at Ridgemont High has some fantastic characters, which makes it super fun to recast. This week's recast lists were great - from WhiplashGirlchild's ideas of Joseph Gordon-Levitt playing Brad and Hugh Laurie playing Mr. Hand, to hanako66's suggestion of Topher Grace for the part of the slimy Mike. I also thought Seth Rogen would make a great Brad, as was suggested by several people. Tnkrbelli included photos with her recast list, which was very cool. I especially liked her idea of Emile Hirsch playing Jeff Spicoli. He could easily pull off that dazed thing.

Overall, though, my favorite recast list this week comes from joielin! To see who joielin picked, along with a new cast photo,

joielin's cast:
Stacy - Alison Lohman
Linda - Megan Fox
Mark/"Rat" - Michael Cera
Mike - Milo Ventimiglia
Brad - Ben Savage
Mr. Hand - Wallace Shawn
Spicoli - Shia LaBeouf

Fast Times at Ridgemont High was one of the many great suggestions you gave me back when I asked for recast suggestions, and I think it's "high" time we got to recasting this awesome '80s teen movie!

If you could recast the movie with new actors, who would you pick for Stacy and her best friend, the, um, mature-for-her-age Linda? Who else could play the dazed and confused Spicoli? What about Stacy's hapless brother Brad, the nerdy Mark "Rat" Ratner and the shady Mike? Finally, of course, there's the hilariously named Mr. Hand to recast.

Leave your entry in the comment section below, and I'll pick one winner to feature Tuesday, October 2, complete with a "new" cast photo.

Jennifer, Ben, JT, and Cameron Make For a Rowdy Guys Choice Awards

Molly Goodson — Sun, 05 Jun 2011 11:19:41 PDT

The Sony lot in Culver City was transformed into a mix of Key West and Havana Cuba last night for the fifth annual Guys Choice Awards. It's always an unconventional affair and last night was no different, with Cameron Diaz kicking things off in a sexy sheer suit and setting up the evening with a few rules a la Bad Teacher. She came out again later to present Jim Carrey with the Funniest MFer award, and he pushed the boundaries with his acceptance speech. Justin Timberlake preached to the crowd about finding the Holy Grail of Hotness winner, his Friends With Benefits costar Mila Kunis, who defeated Minka Kelly for the crown - who do you think was the hottest at the Guys Choice Awards?

It was Jennifer Aniston, however, who got the ultimate accolades for her sexy status: the Decade of Hotness award. She thanked her yoga teacher for keeping her in such great shape and gave big hugs to all her Horrible Bosses costars, who handed her the gilded antlers. Scarlett Johansson took the stage with her The Avengers costar Chris Evans, and backstage she posed with her recent ex, Sean Penn, who was there to accept an honor with the rest of the Fast Times at Ridgemont High cast. The evening was peppered with shout-outs to the troops, some of whom were in attendance. A group of US Armed Forces men took the stage to present their Troops Choice mantlers to Ben Affleck, and he was humble and thankful accepting his statue. Scarlett was among the ladies who took the Guys Choice red carpet and the show airs on Spike TV on June 10. Many of these famous faces will be out once again for the MTV Movie Awards and we'll be live from the red carpet, so join in the PopSugar party starting at 4 p.m. PDT/7 p.m. EDT!
