Big Fun: 33 Huge Reasons Why We Love Heathers
Monday, July 26th, 2010Oh, the fucking humanity.
Jawbreaker. Mean Girls. The Sleepover. The Craft. Every bad girl subplot on Gossip Girl. None even come close to the dark surreality of Heathers, a movie that, to this day, no one will watch with me. Because at one point in my life — let’s say 1992 for convenience — I seriously watched this movie at least twice a week. It was in constant rotation for a while, along with Grease, Rock n’ Roll High School, and Barton Fink. Make of that what you will, and join me as I revisit a film that deserves a revival. (But, please, sweet baby Jesus, not a wretched remake.) Here then are 33 reasons why we love said film (arranged, conveniently enough, in the order they appear on screen, with one exception…).
1. SCRUNCHIES!!!! Nuff’ said.
2. Serious contouring blush. Look at Shannen Doherty in that opening croquet scene.
3. Why did “you’re beautiful” as an insult never catch on? It’s sort of spectacular (at 3:25).
4. Winona Ryder can’t act for shit, but her eye rolling is pretty epic. See clip above. Or this montage below, which demonstrates that she carries this proclivity with, from role to role.
5. This great slogan tee, which is glimpsed oh so fleetingly. Feeling inadequate? (Click to enlarge)
Sighted at :13 in.
6. Remington University (calling to mind Reynholm Industries of the IT Crowd, and also sounding like an off-brand razor blade).
7. “Greetings and salutations” as an introduction in Christian Slater’s mouth turns that whole E.B. White Charlotte’s Web thing into something wonderfully filthy. Yeowch.
Blown Away: No Snow, No Show
Wednesday, July 21st, 2010The ’70s were, by most measures, a decade of complete and utter excess. Need proof? Peep out this stunning slogan tee that Eric Clapton used to wear on stage. The message is clear, but also kinda desperate, don’t ya think? I mean, hey, you’re a rock star of the highest order (pun intended). Just put it on your rider, yo!
At one time, a repro of this tee was available at Worn Free, but strangely it seems to have disappeared from the site (in which case, try Zazzle).
Topical, in its own way:
Via.

Slash & Burn: Machete’s New Trailer is Redic
Sunday, July 11th, 2010OMFG! Must see this faux-trailer turned feature-length film! Complete with handlebar-mounted gatling gun, no less!
A short list of the elements we like thus far (eye-candy FTW!):
1. Jessica Alba in her underwear.
2. Handle-bar mounted gatling gun.
3. The return of Don Johnson.
4. Tequila, poured from a glass bottle shaped like a handgun.
5. The C.I.A.-F.B.I.-D.E.A backstory. WTF?
6. Danny Trejo, as the namesake, dropping the machete on an unfortunate sniper.
7. Low riders with rocket launchers.
8. Cheech Martin, a reformed priest with the silhouette of a cross on his check. And one shotgun for each hand.
9. The inclusion of Jeff Fahey, a.k.a. Frank Lapidus of Lost-fame.
10. Befitting of its title, the abundance of knives, points and assorted throwing weapons.
Projected street date: September 3, 2010!
