Heathers was only barely a counterculture movie when it was released. It's a dark comedy that follows the 80s underdog vs bullies trope. I can't imagine how anything like it would ever be released in the repressive school shootings era and that's probably not a good thing.
- ghaff 8y agoThough a musical version of Heathers did come out just a few years ago.
- ecocentrik 8y agoI missed that.
- ghaff 8y agoIt was a smaller musical--off-broadway. I think it's playing in London at the moment. Not bad although it felt a bit unnecessary as a lot of musicals adapted from fondly remembered films seem to be.
- mixmastamyk 8y agoAgreed, my mind was boggling as I considered how much more gritty and “real” most entertainment is today, yet here was a character nonchalantly using a gun in the cafeteria… now beyond the pale.
