Hmm | The Hangover Overtaking Swingers as Vegas Go To Movie?
Posted by Greg Weinstein | Filed under Art, Culture, Film
Could it be? Swingers finally becoming a dated movie? We think so. 13 years ago, director Doug Liman , John Faverau and Vince Vaughn brought us to Vegas and let us know how it goes down. Recently, The Hangover showed us a whole new side of how to party in Vegas. A side we like very much. A side that they don’t even remember. Swingers taught us to ALWAYS double down on 11, how the midnight to six shift is the skank shift, and to wait 2-6 days before calling a lady friend. All valuable lessons that should be applied every Vegas trip. As for The Hangover, the lessons are a bit more drastic. For example. never steal Mike Tyson’s tiger, do not marry a stripper, especially with a baby who’s name may or may not be Carlos, and never lie to your wife that your are in wine country when you are definitely in Vegas. But overall, its a more relative story and time than Swingers, so its about that time to give reign to a different King of Vegas. The quoting from Swingers will eventually fade, and the wolf pack will emerge victorious. Mark those words. Anyway, even if you forget things from the Hangover, that’s fine. Just watch it again and again.
