    You know, if I had seen this trailer back then, I wouldn't have watched the movie. The music is too loud, it's too long, the title is all wrong, and it doesn't focus on the GOOD stuff: the clique. I'm glad I didn't, and I saw the the movie. LOVED IT.

    I LOVE LOVE LOVE Heathers well and pretty much any movie with either Winona or Christian from the 80s.

    Winona in Beetlejuice was my inspiration for life for awhile in junior highH

    Heathers though, oh they were such bitches. Me and my friends wanted so badly to be them, taking lunchtime polls and playing croquet in the backyard.

    I do have to admit I really feel in love with Christian Slater when he was in Gleaming the Cube...hot skater!

    Um, this is a really odd website, but when I noticed that one of the Heathers was dead I was curious as to how.

    How about the fact that Kim Walker, who played Heather Chandler, had the line "Did you have a brain tumour for breakfast?"... and actually died of a brain tumour...


    Also, the blonde guy who collects money for starving kids in the cafeteria and prays at Heather Chandler's funeral that he doesn't commit suicide, as it will affect his grades, actually DID commit suicide.


    Weird.

    I love Heathers, but I still relate more to John Hughes' movies. I've always been an outsider looking in rather than a jaded, disaffected popular girl looking out. I've never been party of the "in" crowd. I'm more of an Andie or a Sam than a Veronica.

    I also disagree that Molly Ringwald's characters aren't happy until guys fall in love with them. It's probably true of Sam and Jake Ryan, but I don't think it's true for Andie and Blaine. I've always thought Duckie meeting Andie at the prom made her truly happy. Blaine didn't declare his love for Andie until he saw she could be independent (by going to the prom by herself) and happy with her BFF Duckie.

    I love Heathers (not just because I am a Heather). I probably could recite it word for word. My original Jez name, heathermylove, was from a piece of dialog.


    I judge people I meet based on if they have seen Heathers and if they liked it.

    This is probably the greatest teen movie ever. Anyone who hasn't seen it is really missing out. Comparing it to John Hughes movies is really doing Heathers a disservice; it's incredibly dark and hilarious and bitchy. None of the characters in it are cute and quirky; they're evil. John Hughes always presented fairy tales, which is fine, and entertaining, but the nihilism of Heathers is closer to dark comedies like Dr. Strangelove or Network.

    for those jezzies in the US, Heathers is usually on the $5 rack at Wal-Mart, and sometimes Target.

    I Loved this Film,


    "Well fuck me gently with a chain-saw" was my phrase in high school.


    Sigh, they could never make a farcical movie about some kid almost blowing up a high school now though. Not with those Columbine dick-heads.


    Sigh.

    @Haystacks: Those Columbine "dick-heads" did those horrible things because of people like Veronica and the Heathers. Anyway, nothing will ever live up to the original version.

    @afiunderground: They did those "horrible things" because everyone ignored the signs that they were becoming deeply disturbed and detached.


    Their parents and their peers failed them as much as they failed themselves.


    Reacting to bullying with mass-murder is a new phenomena, and we would do well to pay attention to artists who tap into these sentiments before these types of defining events occur.
