Go figure. :-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4564277570960354470.post-50444546650339906892012-10-15T16:14:52.725-04:002012-10-15T16:14:52.725-04:00I love that line.

I had to really resist the urge to not put a ton of quotes from this movie in my post.<br /><br />It sounds like you might have preferred the original ending to the movie, if they had ever filmed it.Chip Laryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00787403805554027107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4564277570960354470.post-4774659659250399622012-10-15T10:25:00.485-04:002012-10-15T10:25:00.485-04:00Ah, Heathers.

Still, how can you not love a movie that includes the line "I love my dead gay son"?SJHoneywellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13550007053995112090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4564277570960354470.post-63334629303580409572012-10-14T21:36:22.602-04:002012-10-14T21:36:22.602-04:00To be honest, I never even noticed the date rape i...To be honest, I never even noticed the date rape in the background of a scene until I was listening to the commentary and Winona Ryder pointed it out. You may not even notice it if/when you watch this movie.<br /><br />"I guess it's odd that I find that offensive, yet I can take comedies about murder."<br /><br />I've noticed a phenomenon where people can watch any number of human characters die in horrible ways and not feel anything, but if a movie even threatens an animal with harm, let alone death, it bothers people a lot.Chip Laryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00787403805554027107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4564277570960354470.post-36222252786262649392012-10-14T21:32:22.573-04:002012-10-14T21:32:22.573-04:00Yeah, both are still working, but in smaller movie...Yeah, both are still working, but in smaller movies and/or smaller supporting roles.Chip Laryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00787403805554027107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4564277570960354470.post-45758068662322593302012-10-14T21:31:48.146-04:002012-10-14T21:31:48.146-04:00I've seen it at least 4 times over the years a...I've seen it at least 4 times over the years and I've enjoyed myself just as much every time.Chip Laryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00787403805554027107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4564277570960354470.post-9733885223001469272012-10-14T18:37:23.524-04:002012-10-14T18:37:23.524-04:00I love dark humor -- the only thing here that woul...I love dark humor -- the only thing here that would really bother me is date rape being used for comic effect. I guess it's odd that I find that offensive, yet I can take comedies about murder. :-) <br /><br />This sounds like a movie I might try sometime, but not without a couple of drinks in my system.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4564277570960354470.post-43686911916982715032012-10-14T17:22:16.851-04:002012-10-14T17:22:16.851-04:00Nice review Chip.

I didn't love the movie because it takes it's subject a bit too seriously by the end, but still has some funny laughs with itself and features Ryder and Slater at the top of their game. Wish that's how it was for these guys nowadays.
