1980 blurred-lines coming-of-age enemies friends heroes movies mystery teacher villains

Circa 2005.
Fragment lengthened and further developed for a 2009 Nanowrimo attempt. 

Had a lot of threads in this one...had bits of coming of age in it as well as shades of the Frank Ridgeway character from P.F. Kluge's Eddie and the Cruisers, particularly the disillusioned teacher vs the trapped writer aspect. Character study that attempts to uncover/examine the differences and potential similarities between heroes and villains.  Also lifted the lead character names from Aykroyd and Belushi respectively. 

Original description: 
One that I've been kicking around for a few.. It's about two best friends that were really into movies as kids.. long convos about the characters.. especially heroes and villians..All Rights Reserved
