Product Description
Bizarre facts, uproariously funny photos, and goofy trivia for the '80s movie fan

For people who came of age watching Footloose, Dirty Dancing, and Fast Times at Ridgemont High, Say Anything is a funny and completely addictive book that tests just how much of an '80s buff one really is. Not since Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon (Plume) have movie fanatics been handed such a humorous tool for testing their archives of trivia knowledge. Here's how it works: readers get a single line from an '80s film and then are asked to guess the name of the movie and the character and/or actor who made the line famous.

With more than five hundred memorable quotes, plus special theme sections on topics like "slasher flicks," John Hughes' movies, and the brilliant career of Molly Ringwald, Say Anything is the perfect handbook for the '80s pop-culture junkie.

About the Author
Peter Fornatale spent all of the '80s memorizing lyrics to Bruce Springsteen songs and movie quotes from the film Tron. He has written sketch comedy for radio, liner notes, and copy for Elvis Presley trading cards.

Frank Scatoni spent his free time in the '80s watching Sixteen Candles and Molly Ringwald's first flick, Tempest. He is a former magazine writer. Both authors currently work at New York City publishing houses. They are the authors of Who Can It Be Now: The Lyrics Game That Takes You Back to the '80s . . . One Line at a Time.

4.0 out of 5 stars Bumbling Fun!, August 4, 2000
By Karl Macht (Runyon, IL) - See all my reviews
I had so much fun reading this book that I got a hernia! Peter Thomas and Frank present their wizadry in such a way that one could never mistake them for proprietors. They suckle the "teets" of the 80's cow until only powdered milk would resolve their finance. Undeniably, the highlight of this book is when Peter Thomas takes his shot at the musty moguls known as the "Lompom Twins"! Boy, did I laugh!

5.0 out of 5 stars Funnier than a sickle!, June 26, 2000
By Bradley Koontz (Upstate NY) - See all my reviews
This book is tremendously funny. I love Peter Thomas and Frank's candid approach towards the uninspiring decade that we know as the eighties. This book helped me get through a couple of tough years upstate at Elmira State Penitentiary. Since, I've been released, I've gained a new perspective on life and have Peter Thomas and Frank to thank. You good men have made a better man out of me through levity and humor. At first, the days were long and dreary but when my C.O. lent me that book, the days became brighter. I needed to keep it!

THANKS AGAIN! You will always be in my thoughts!

5.0 out of 5 stars Even my pop-pop laughed!, September 12, 2000
These incouragable fellows have done it again! An exceptional representaion of this impish decade is presented in a masterful manner by Peter Thomas and Frank. My temples almost imploded due to laughter when I read Peter Thomas' justification of the "Lompom Twins". I also almost seared myself after reading the "Ode to Russ" and all its colossal wisdom. No human could expand on this phenomenon as well as Peter Thomas and Frank. Kudos my green friends! Keep up the great work.
