The source of this story about a possible sequel to Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure (I think we can all agree to pretend Bill & Ted’s Bogus Journey never existed, right?  Good.) is the above video, of MTV’s awkward Josh Horowitz asking Keanu Reeves, “Let’s greenlight the Bill & Ted sequel right now, let’s make it happen.”

To which Keanu says, “I’m trying, I’m trying.”  Then Josh asks him if he’s kidding, and he says he’s serious, but it’s hard to tell if he actually is, because one of the things dumb people like to do when they’re joking is keep saying “I’m serious” and smirking.  I know your game, Reeves. Now gimme back my nose, motherfu-ker.

Anyway, was he serious?  Or was he just trying to avoid looking like an asshole when someone brought up his most successful role like John Cusack did when someone brought up boomboxes?  Said Alex Winter through a mouthful of rubber tubing he was using to tie off an arm vein, “God I hope he was serious.”  Anyone want to guess what Alex Winter’s actual last steady role was?  If you said “King Mole Man” on “Saul of the Mole Men,” go to the head of the class.  I am not making that up.  You have to admit, “Saul” is a really good name for a mole man.

In a decision which I can only assume was based on the number of times a day Howard Stern hears, "Hey, you know who you look like? Joey Ramone," Stern is producing a remake of the 1979 Ramones classic Rock ‘n’ Roll High School, along with Larry Levinson. Stern has hired Alex Winter to write the script. And yes, that’s the same Alex Winter who played Bill in Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure and Marco in Lost Boys.

The only reason I can see for hiring Winter is if Stern thinks he still has access to that time machine telephone booth thingie, because the only good thing about the original Rock ‘n’ Roll High School was that the Ramones were in it, and all the original members are dead. I mean, I guess they could point the camera at grafitti that says "fun" and zoom in and out again.  That was pretty cool.

Maybe in the new one Good Charlotte can teach kids that drugs are bad and Jesus is cool with the help of eyeliner, ProTools, and a good publicist.
