80s Awsomeness! #1
Saturday, March 7, 2009
Welcome 80s Awesomeness!, a weekly Saturday post that brings into your life a little bit of 80s. Created and hosted by Donna@LitBites.
This week Donna wrote about her favorite 80's movie so I've decided to do the same.
"Veronica Sawyer is an honorary member of the elite high school clique made up of three other girls called Heather. As much as Veronica enjoys being associated with the in-crowd, she recognises the horror of the 'Heathers' - their colour-coordinated codes and their calculating cruelty - and actually wishes them dead. When she falls for the new school rebel, a loner called JD she has found the answer to her secret desire."
Heathers has just the right amount of crazy humor to me make love it. Making suicide and eating disorder funny is just genius in my opinion. Heathers has some of the best lines ever. Here are some of my favorites quotes:
"It's one thing to want someone out of your life, but it's another thing to serve them a wake-up cup full of liquid drainer."
"What is your damage, Heather?"
"Grow up Heather, bulimia's so '87."
"Betty Finn was a true friend and I sold her out for a bunch of Swatch dogs and Diet Coke heads. Killing Heather would be like offing the wicked witch of the west... wait east. West! God! I sound like a fucking psycho."
"She's my best friend. God, I hate her."
"Well, f*ck me gently with a chainsaw. Do I look like Mother Theresa?"
"My son's a homosexual, and I love him. I love my dead gay son."
I would describe the plot of Heathers are being very bizzare and twisted. Which is why I love it! Check out the trailer :

"I love my dead gay son!"
Haha classic. I like how the dead gay son was on Little House on the Prairie.
This movie was so dark -I definitely didn't understand it when I was younger.

That looks like a hilarious movie. Maybe this 90s girl will look into it.

I also thought this movie was hilarious in a dark, twisted sort-of way! I think I may still have a copy of it on a VHS tape somewhere!
