Dazed and Confused

ComedyDrama

The adventures of a group of Texas teens on their last day of school in 1976, centering on student Randall Floyd, who moves easily among stoners, jocks and geeks.

    Dazed and Confused was released in 1993, about a day in 1976. A comparable movie released in 2025 would be set in . . . 2008

    “What I most resent about baby boomers is that, technically, I am one.” Bruce Handy writes about being a second-half boomer, and the teen movie that encapsulated his experience: Richard Linklater’s “Dazed and Confused.”

    Top Notch is one of my neighborhood haunts, which many of you will recognize as the burger & soggy fries joint from DAZED AND CONFUSED. The location is unchanged from the movie, and boasts a shrine inside with photos, the SOUL POLE, and a faded VHS copy of the film. I quite like the fried chicken.

    Matthew McConaughey trademarks iconic phrase to stop AI misuse. The Oscar-winning actor has trademarked several phrases, including "Alright, alright, alright" from the cult classic film, Dazed and Confused.

    #MovieHistory On this day, 1993, Dazed and Confused, directed by Richard Linklater, was released. Knowing that music was absolutely vital to the film, Richard Linklater spent 1/6th of the film’s budget on securing music rights. Ironically Robert Plant would not sign off on using Led Zeppelin music.

    No film captures the experience of second-half boomers like Richard Linklater’s “Dazed and Confused,” Bruce Handy writes, from the hair and the music to the laissez-faire vibe of parents and authority figures.

    If Dazed and Confused was made today it would be about the same year as when it was made, because that's what the movie was about. They didn't pick the year and go "that's enough years ago" it was about a specific time period.

    RIP Jonathan Kaplan. Here's a German poster for his spectacular coming of age film OVER THE EDGE (1979) Buried by the studio when it 1st came out, I'm not sure OVER THE EDGE has ever totally gotten its due for what a great movie it is, an influence on everything from DAZED AND CONFUSED to GUMMO

    Do you have a movie whose reputation has been needlessly defined for you by some totally random person you know? For instance, I always assume everybody hates Dazed and Confused because my classmate Jonathan dubbed it THE WORST MOVIE HE HAD EVER SEEN in eighth grade.

    They stated that they believed Ben & Jerry's did not consider the implications of a name referencing hazing, believing that they were making light of it. However, the company noted that it was a reference to the 1993 film "Dazed and Confused", and that there's not many available puns for hazelnuts

    The McConuaghey character in Dazed and Confused was an “age of consent” guy, a movie made in 1993 that was set in 1976, everyone got the joke then, to pretend no one understood this stuff in defense of powerful sex traffickers is wild

    DAZED AND CONFUSED: One of those movies that gets richer and more miraculous with every passing year. You mean I can just…hang out? With this movie? Well, fuck. Awesome. It’s so clear-eyed about men and the ludicrous hierarchies we construct to feel safe. And so poetic about Time.
