It would be like a documentary.................
That only adds to its dark brooding charm.
I was just thinking a few days ago how there’s no way that film could be made today.
“Is Heathers too shocking for 2018?”
Movie producer: “I know! Let’s reboot it and find out!”
I thought the movie was hilarious, once I got accustomed to the catty conspiracies, I laughed a lot at the similarity to the adolescents I was teaching (or trying to teach) in public high school.
Probably not enough homos and minorities in the cast.

“I love my dead gay son.”
One of the more strange mainstream movies I’ve ever seen, a dark comedy really along the lines of a French farce but the subject matter, wow. I actually enjoyed it, but man what a time bomb. And it seems to have gotten such a hold on the pop culture psyche in some quarters. I blame this movie for popularizing the notion of attacking schools. This planted the seed.
The modern musical is if anything worse, it magnifies the peculiar aspects and glamorizes them even more, plus the formerly comical aspect of homosexuality has of course been spun 180 degrees and made into what PC demands in the modern era, it’s glorified just as much as trying to blow up a school.
I loved the scene where the weirdos dad was replaying the blowing up of the building I believe the nuns wanted to stop.
Word.
Hotter than Georgia asphalt in July. Crazy too, which is worth +20 HP in melee.
One of the three Heathers, Kim Walker, died of a brain tumor in 2001. Another, Shannon Doherty has fought cancer. Very strange.
My favorite from the movie, Sly And The Family Stone, “Que Sera Sera” in minor key.
The plot is very similar to a 1976 film called “Massacre at Central High”.

Class of 1984 had some school violence
They blew up the school in Rock and Roll High School
And Targets (1969) had a sniper shooting at traffic and a drive in theater if i recall correctly
