I’m so excited about Hecklevision: Point Break that I can’t even be bothered to write a coherent blog post. Sorry! So here’s an inspirational poster of Johnny Utah, above, and now, here’s a scene from the film about Bodhi!

EXT. BEACH. DAY—Brassy surfer girl TYLER (Lori Petty) and eager FBI agent JOHNNY UTAH (Keanu Reeves) are observing the charismatic BODHI (Patrick Swayze), a surfer.

TYLER: That’s Bodhi. They call him “Bodhisattva.” He’s a modern savage. He’s a real searcher.
JOHNNY UTAH (confused): What’s he searching for?
TYLER (sad): The ride. The ultimate ride. Guy’s even crazier than you, Johnny.

After decades of anticipation, Hecklevision: Point Break is finally happening tomorrow at 7:30 pm at the Hollywood Theatre (4122 NE Sandy)! More info and tickets here.
