William ‘Bill’ Preston Esq and Theodore ‘Ted’ Logan are two of my very favorite comedy characters, played by the impossibly young Alex Winter and Keanu Reeves as completely air-headed slacker teens. They, and the films they appear in, are very, very stupid – and very very funny. With Bill & Ted’s Bogus Journey arriving on…
