i had literally no idea this was even being made until i clicked that link, so, you know, thanks for that :mad:

If I didn't know any better I'd think that Heathers trailer was made by Ryan Murphy.

more like "made by someone who wants very badly to be but is so very clearly not Ryan Murphy"

Butt first, let's
check the feeds.

I just have no idea how to put my opinion about that trailer. Like I love the movie. It feels weird to say the trailer is... too catty? Too immature? Too snarky? None of that makes sense because the original was all those things. I guess the original just had an edge and a seriousness to it? It was dark humor. That trailer just feels more like Mean Girls or a Murphy thing or something. Maybe its just hard to duplicate the ability/chemistry of Winona Ryder and Christian Slater?

I don't know, I'm probably just old and can't relate to kids stuff or something.

That trailer looks terrible. I may give the premiere a peep, but I've been salty about this series being made for a while so

Huh. I mean, I know a lot of people were angry, but I figured it was just, you know, fidelity criticism as its worst. Or reddit, whatever.

Like I said, I was pretty excited by it.

I love that cover and it being in the trailer made me sad ngl

e: heathers is just one of those movies i think should be left alone. we already had a great spiritual successor in mean girls. just make a heathers-esque thing without calling it heathers imo.

Heathers is v much a product of its time despite a lot of the story remaining universal. But the era, the tone, the cast, you can't replicate that ever

I could’ve sworn I saw the promo picture of the three Heathers walking down the hallway like at least a year ago or something. I guess someone finally picked it up. I thought it looked dumb at the time, and after seeing the trailer it still looks not all that good.

i'm dreading what their version of the "i love my dead gay son" scene is gonna be. the trailer makes it apparent they're set on hitting all the iconic scenes of the film so you just know that's gonna be in there somehow. also "eskimo".

I can see that. First scene of Guardians is pretty much Space Indiana Jones.

Not to mention he's kind of a Han Solo type so it falls in line.

I believe in a universe that doesn't care, and people that do.


Chris Pratt played a pretty decent douchey coworker in Wanted. It was pretty much his character with parks and rec if he was a misogynist frat boy and said "bro" a lot, but still.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7mmuQteX1qA

If you want an example of a male actor I consider to have no range, there's George Clooney. Although as far as I'm aware no one's yet tried to make a film where George Clooney plays multiple characters.

I wouldn't say Clooney has no range, he's an amazing comedic actor.

God I hate the guy. Community, Brooklyn Nine-nine and The Good Place. Just a shouty annoying character in all three. Either he's having sex with an influential casting director somewhere or I don't know what.

Can you imagine his invoice playing multiple characters? Ain't no one got multiple Clooney money.

I'm kind of fine with him in The Good Place, mainly because they specifically use him sparingly as a literal mistake of an excuse for a human being.
