Neomaxizoomdweebie

Finished reading yet? Yes? Okay, good. I promise this post is shorter. It may even all fit on your screen at one time.

So, in a continuation of the previous post, here is some TBC (as I have found out through research it is call on the internet) trivia:

1) Emilio Estevez was originally cast as Bender. Okay, how weird would that have been? Granted it is hard to imagine anyone other than Judd Nelson in that role now, but doesn't Emilio just seem too clean cut to have been any good in that role?

2) The library was really a gym and is now a police station.

3) The original run time was 2.5 hours, but the studio didn't think it would be a popular movie and cut it down to 97 minutes. Then they destroyed the negatives.

4) Anthony Michael Hall's actual sister and mom play his sister and mom in the movie. Strangely however, their roles are reversed. Fooled you didn't I? They were actually his mom and sister though.

5) Bender was also originally going to be Nicolas Cage, but he was to expensive (I mean really would we expect the lead of Valley Girl to be available AND cheap?)

6) Rick Moranis was originally cast as Carl the Janitor, but left due to "creative differences." Wha huh? But, it was just the janitor... perhaps I do not understand the craft of acting.

7) Other titles we "Lunch Bunch" and "Library Revolution," both of which STA--INK.

Of course all of this information is gleaned from IMDB

Test your TBC knowledge here. I may or may not have gotten a perfect score.
