Columbus, OH

This post is not really the guide to Columbus type post I usually write. But last night I was looking for a movie to watch and in my collection I found Point Break.

Mmmmm, Keanu Reeves and Patrick Swayze at their (physical at least) best.

Now I have to tell you, Point Break is my #1 favorite guilty pleasure movie of all time. You know what I mean, not your favorite movie. Not the movie you would ever put down on any questionairre asking for your favorite movie. But the movie you watch again and again despite it being bad, because to you it is that good. Admit it, you’ve got one.

One of the things that has always given me a chuckle about Point Break is the fact that Keanu Reeves’ character is from Columbus. As a matter of fact, he’s a complete anomaly in the Columbus world, because he’s a former star Ohio State Buckeye quarterback, that actually hails from the capitol city.

Note dialogue:

Roach: What the f#@k is wrong with you? Don’t you think that’s a little out of line?

Bohdi: Cool it, Roach. Don’t you know who this is?

Roach: No, l don’t!

Bohdi: This is Johnny Utah, Ohio State Buckeyes, all conference. Remember?

Little Brother: Number 9 how ya doing?

Roach: Jesus Christ! Johnny f#@kin’ Utah! Sorry, man. Didn’t mean to get in ya face!

Bohdi: l knew l knew you. lt was the Rose Bowl. Three years ago you beat SC.

Tyler: You? You did this?

Bohdi: Yep, him!

Proving that everyone loves the Buckeyes–even semi-insane, impossibly gorgeous and amazingly precise surfing bank robbers.

And yes, I’m just sticking this picture in because I can, and because he was still too cute 12 years later.
