Martha Coolidge is a damn fine director.  I didn't know she had anything to
do with "Fast Times...", but she directed "Valley Girls" (which received
critical acclaim, but I don't recall being that fond of), "Real Genius"
(which should be required viewing for all hackers & scientists - it's a
complete hoot!), and a complete sleeper, "Plain Clothes".  She's not had the
greatest of luck with her releases, with "Real Genius" coming out at the same
time as "Weird Science" and "My Science Project" (I remember referring to
"My Real Weird, Genius Science Project" at the time), though the other
teen-science films weren't remotely in the same league as her film.  And due
to some not-fully-explained weirdness with the studios, "Plain Clothes" never
made it to the theaters at all... it went straight to video.  The premise of
"Plain Clothes" makes it sound horrid (cop goes undercover in a high school
to protect his younger brother), but the story is very intelligently
presented, and is funny and gripping at the same time.  IMHO.

ObTPContent:  Nope.  The real train car doesn't have "Fire walk with me"
written on it.  That was on a note inside the car.  In the TV show.
