Empire Records is going to be turned into a Music Town! It's up to the wacky employees to figure out a way to raise enough money to help their boss Joe keep the store from changing hands. They also deal with problems, love, and a spoiled has-been rock star. Amazing movie with and even more amazing soundtrack!

Betcha Didn't Know:
- In one of the deleted scenes, the makeshift rooftop band is arrested and taken away. This is based on the real-life incident of The Beatles playing atop the Apple Records building and being arrested.
- A sign by the register that says "Have a nice daze" shows the logo for Dazed and Confused (1993). Rory Cochrane, who plays Lucas, played Slater in Dazed and Confused.
- When angrily leaving Rex Manning's parting words are "Why don't you all just fade away?" which are lyrics from the song "My Generation" by The Who.
- Robin Tunney's character (Debra) has a horizontal suicide-attempt scar on her wrist. In The Craft, her character has a vertical suicide-attempt scar.
Quotes:
Eddie: Can I ask you something? Do you know where Harvard is?
A.J.: It's near Boston.
Eddie: No I mean, do you really know where Harvard is? It's another planet man- another universe. Totally unlike the one we know. Filled with big blond guys who eat ivy and row boats. What I'm trying to say is, you and Corey just aren't made for each other. She's different from you.
A.J.: Joe, I need to ask your advice. Now I know you know a lot about love and women and all that sort of thing . . .
Joe: Oh yeah, my wife left me for another woman and my girlfriend forced me to leave at gunpoint. Does this qualify me?
A.J.: Oh yeah, definitely.
Debra: No visible tattoos.
Gina: No revealing clothing.
Debra: We're both screwed. At least you're used to it.
A.J.: What's with you? Yesterday you were normal and today you're like the Chinese guy from the Karate Kid. What's with you today?
Lucas: What's with today today?
A.J.: . . . you know, I got to tell her that I, uh, well, you know, that I uh . . .
Joe: Love her.
A.J.: Yeah, now how do I do that?
Joe: You say I love you. What do you want, written instructions?
Debra: (to Gina) I swear, you get smarter the shorter your skirt gets.

1This was a great movie!
2Yup this is a good one. But I would rather watch more of a documentary film rather than something that is like comedy in nature. I'm looking forward to watching to this: http://www.facebook.com/americanteen
