Release Date Rewind: Varsity Blues & She's All That (25th anniversaries)

[@NoNo-ng9sl]

Being from Texas. 13 in 99. And absolutely not from the rural South (inner city)......I still loved this movie. It was a Texas themed movie to a world i didnt even know. When i got to college in small town Texas, is when i saw those characters come to life. It was a culture shock to me, but then i was to them. In amy sense. I cant believe its 25 years since 99. Such a special year overall for arguably the greatest year of cinema, & Varsity Blues was the start of it.

Wow, that's an interesting experience! Culture shock within the same state. Yeah, 1999 had so many great films of all genres. It's hard picking just some to talk about this year on the show!

@releasedaterewind I grew up in inner city Houston. In a 80% Latino neighborhood filled with mostly immigrants & hardly any white people. In the 90s? At times it felt like parts of Chicago or L.A.. I wouldn't know what rural TX was like. If it hadn't been for Varsity Blues. I met folks in college that couldn't even wrap their heads around my environment. But that's what going off to school was about. I'd say that's true for any huge city vs the rural parts of its state. Though Texas demographics have changed a ton since I was a kid.
