Anybody Seen The Movie "Everybody Wants Some!!" Cool Space Invaders Scene

I just rented "Everybody Wants Some!!" from Redbox. It's set in 1980 and is pretty cool. It has a really cool Space Invaders Deluxe scene in it. Along with some pinballs and other classic vids.

Has anyone watched it?

I thought it was pretty good. If you liked Dazed and Confused you should like this movie as it's from the same director.

Two thumbs up!

Great arcade scene with the REAL game sounds! Cool movie with great music as well!
 
You watched it already?

:confused:

Probably Amazon Prime, and he probably posted while watching.

I like instant streaming access for everything too but there's something to be said for anticipation and delayed gratification. I wonder sometimes if we've created a generation of kids with no patience.

I enjoyed the movie. I thought for a moment that having Black Knight in it was an error, but it actually would have been a month or so after it came out in "movie time".

I also like Lea Thompson's daughter in it. Gorgeous.
 
I was excited enough to see it opening day. Unfortunately I thought the movie blew. A group of guys all trying to do their best Matthew McConaughey circa Dazed & Confused impression. Just really heavy-handed with weak jokes. Plus, all the characters we're supposed to root for we're all of the popular, prickish jocks. Meh.

Cool Space Invaders machine though :)

Haters gonna hate!

Yeah I wasn't expecting Casablanca after reading the tag line of "Dazed and Confused Meets The 80's"

I thought it was cool for what it was. I might have a different opinion if I had higher expectations like you did.

Meh. I tend to bitch about everything.
 
Hey is there any truth to the trick he was showing on SI?? I suck so bad at it so I cant try it!!

Yes, there is, athough it is commonly used on Space Invaders and not on Space Invaders Deluxe, as shown in the movie. (In fact, I'm not sure if it can be used on Space Invaders Deluxe or not.) What he left out is the reason top players play this way: saucer hunting to build points faster, since Space Invaders is such a slow scoring game.

At the beginning of the level you carve out an opening two columns wide in the invaders, in the left half of the group (but not all the way to the left), then pick off saucers at the top through the opening while the invaders slowly make their way to the bottom of the screen. Then you can clean up using the method shown.

The caveat is that there appears to be a bug in Space Invaders that sometimes kills your ship for apparently no reason when employing this method. This random death is not controllable, other than to play "normally."

P.S. to koolmoecraig: I was getting an oil change today and the TV in the waiting room was showing the 30 for 30 on the '85 Bears, and I thought of you and John. R.I.P. Buddy Ryan, builder of the best defense in the history of the NFL.

P.P.S. koolmoecraig is still wrong about Everybody Wants Some!! :)

I tried to read your whole post but I got bored and went on to something else...

:D
 
I was just making a joke about the generation of kids with no patience.
