Richard Linklater's 2016 movie "Everybody Wants Some"

[Horn Under a Bad Sign 20833]

Just watched Richard Linklater's "Everybody Wants Some" on for the first time.  It's on Amazon Prime right now and it was fabulously entertaining.  For those who don't know, it's a film about the Southwest Texas State baseball team in 1980, although very little baseball is actually played. It's far more about student life and partying in those innocent times. I have to say that I have never seen such an incredible group of sweet, nubile, almost virginal young women in any movie --- just like I remember SWTSU being back in those days. No makeup on any of them and yet all so beautiful. It was filmed in San Marcos and there are some river scenes etc ... There's a brief moment of nudity from a spectacular young woman whose name I must find out.  Linklater called it the spiritual successor to "Dazed and Confused" and it has the same vibe. Glen Powell is in it and the soundtrack is great.  Highly recommended.

An absolute blast.

Terrific film, but it hasn’t caught on like Dazed and Confused. I wonder if it’s because it’s a movie about jocks, and most of your cinema nerds identified with Newhouse, Olson and Dunn in Dazed. 
 

I’d also attribute it to the now defunct video store culture. There’s no guy at Vulcan Video recommending the movie.

I've always liked those kind of high heels, too.

I lived with half a dozen guys who ran track at Texas for two years 2006-2008. My roommate Leo Manzano got a silver medal at the 2012 London Olympics.

 

This movie is almost an exact copy of my experience for those two years. Awesome flick

Watched it on a flight not long after it came out. The nudity was unexpected in an airplane setting.

It's worth it just for Zoey Deutsch alone
