Reality Bites (1994)

In 1836, the city of Houston was founded. 158 years later, Ben Stiller's movie "Reality Bites" was released. It's set in Houston and features Gen Xers and Yuppies doing grungy 90's things. Sam Houston would probably be very confused by "Reality Bites"... in much the same way that I'm confused by mid-19th century hair styles: 

Oh, and btw, Ben Stiller is trying to bring a new Reality Bites TV series to us. Because that seems like a good idea?


Ewwww, really? - I wanted for the main pick to have something to do with Thurgood Marshall, since today in 1967 he was confirmed as the first black Supreme Court Justice, but the only non-TV movie that I can find in which Justice Marshall was used is "The People Vs. Larry Flynt" and really... that's just not fair. But hey, maybe you can get a hold of the 1991 TV Movie "Separate But Equal" where Marshall is portrayed by Sidney Poitier?

Alternative Completely Out There Pick - Happy Birthday to Dave Brockie, better known as Oderus Urungus of the rock band GWAR! Catch his amusing appearance in "Empire Records"!
