This may interest a few people in this thread.

I recently purchased a copy of the book the movie was based on. So far it reads very similiar to the movie. Lisa is a fat chick though

Anyway check it out here: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/t...002-3831738-7508002?v=glance&s=books&n=507846

<---friends with Rick Amicucci (Leo Fitzpatrick's brother in the movie) and Marc Pearson (Brad Renfro's brother in the movie) and Scotty McHugh ("boy on beach" is his title i believe, lol)

most ironic part of the whole movie is when they show Marc wearing his D.A.R.E. shirt,lol (i'll let u figure that out)
CMF!

Can anyone make and sense of this? The all caps and with font made my eyes hurt.....

thats the most crackheadest website i think i've ever seen
if whoever made that site was actually serious about what they were trying to get across you think they would have put a little more time and effort into making that site as presentable as possible
i guess they are saying that Connelly really didn't come up with the idea to kill Kent, and that the Puccio's ("Italian family is Southern Florida") were behind everything,but you think you could be a little more clear about something as serious as this
im still not sure who is making the threats,aside from the obvious "Italian family", or who is the author of the website (recieving the threats)

Film: Bully

By the same director as 'Kids', just saw it last night and thought it was pretty good, heres a review..

On July 15 1993 seven American teenagers stabbed and beat alleged bully Bobby Kent to death.

On July 15 1993 seven American teenagers stabbed and beat alleged bully Bobby Kent to death. This horrific story is graphically told in Clark's distinctive style - teenage misery complete with sex, drugs and cool soundtrack (with obligatory Fat Boy Slim number).

When you know who brought us this film it doesn't take a genius to know you're not going to leave this screening with a spring in your step and a song in your throat.

Originally a book by Jim Schutze, writer of colourful non-fiction murder stories, the film was produced by Don Murphy of Natural Born Killers and Chris Hanley of Virgin Suicides and American Psycho and directed by Larry Clark of Kids and Another Day in Paradise.

Audiences are compelled to keep watching not by sympathetic characters but the morbid curiosity of an accident waiting to happen to some very stupid and messed up (but attractive) people.

In this day and age we can become almost anaesthetised by sex and violence in the media. But Clark affects his audience with this realistic portrayal of the dark and deadly underworld of teens in the sunshine state.

i hav a goldfish memory span so i need to take note of this one
i quite like movies about fucked-up ppl and i luv the old blood and guts

 

[Sideways_Falling]

^there isn't much blood or guts in this movie.

 

[wescraven]

This film is great, Larry Clark's finest film to me, his most focused film for sure. See this movie, all the performances are amazing, alot of depth in the movie, not in the characters, but if u understand their motives and their way of life the movie becomes very interesting in that sense.

 

[basix]

^^ drug wench its been out for about 5 years here.

 

[tribal girl]

This was on TV here in the UK last night. And I must say I liked it better second time around.

Brad Renfro and Michael Pitt gave the best performances in my opinion.

 

[SmC]

Tried to watch this last night when i saw it on C4, didn't like it that much. Couldn't stand those people in it.

 

[tribal girl]

^So you're finally attempting to watch films now then?

It's a start I suppose.

 

[SmC]

Depends on what mood i'm in! Still not a big fan of them, though the butterfly effect blew me away with how well written it was, i guess that film has got me into giving films a chance now.

 

[dshock]

where can I see this movie, no video store I can find will ever carry it? What do I have to do, order it from out of country?
I really want to see it, is it worth buying?
