I think it’s Schumaker’s second best movie (after Lost Boys).
Lost Boys is sissy emo crap that has aged baaaaaaaaaaaaaaadly over the years. The only reason folk in their 30s like it is because they’re misled by nostalgia. Watch it again now and compare it with Near Dark which came out the same week and you’ll see what I mean.
Near Dark has the greatest bar scene ever…
Near Dark is outstanding…have seen it many times…Lance Henrkisen and Bill Paxson were so great in that…and Jenny Wright was just smoldering hot…between her role in this and her role in The Wall,she had me drooling on myself as a teenager watching those films…
Plus it’s got that weird creepy kid from “River’s Edge” that nobody knows the name of but creeps everyone out. You know the kid.

I absolutely know the kid and I’ve even looked up his name a few times and still don’t know what it is…I don’t even really want to know,referring to him as the creepy kid in Rivers Edge and Near Dark seems right somehow…but I know one thing,he is fucking awesome…
btw,I can never say enough about Crispen Glover’s performance in River’s Edge…one of the funniest over the top performance’s of all time…and Dennis Hopper’s best,second only to Frank Boothe in Blue Velvet…

There were many Oscar-worthy performances in that film, including Keanu’s.
“All you do is hang around to fk my mother and eat her food! Mother FKER!! Food EATER!!!”
The kids name is Joshua Miller. Aside from Near Dark, and the aforementioned masterpiece that is River’s Edge, he was in an episode of The Wonder Years where him and Kevin Arnold start a band called The Electric Shoes. One of my favorite episodes. He still had that lisp, but with a deeper voice.
Those are all great movies you mentioned. Say what you will about The Lost Boys, but that was my first favorite movie and I was fucking 4 years old! I don’t see how Schumacher can make that and Falling Down and then go on to ruin Batman by giving the suit nipples.
River’s Edge was probably Keanu Reeve’s best role. I say that because he wasn’t trying to too hard like he does in most of his movies. Fuck, have you ever seen him in Johnny Mnemonic? Super cheesy. But River’s Edge had pure gold in Crispin Glover and Dennis Hopper. Ione Skye was looking pretty hot too.
How dare you revert this thread from the epic legend and lore of Marilyn Manson, the last living breathing rockstar?
Fuck, have you ever seen him in Johnny Mnemonic?
That’s the one I always use when doing my Keanu impressions.
“I have a chip.”
[Points to head]
“In my HEAD.”

Living. Breathing. Wheezing. Puking. Falling. Failing.

I was watching the special features on Near Dark a while back and apparently she’s missing…no one kn ows where she is. And she…she was HOT!!!
I read not to long ago that she was a yoga instructor…hmmm…

Sometimes I shout it out when I’m ready to throw down street style or trade fisticuffs with some fool. It always catches them off guard and they kind of stare at me like, “What in the Hell did I just hear you say?” I always like to shout out cool ass lines before kicking ass or getting my ass kicked. I’ve kind of reasoned it out long ago that no one’s really gonna remember “the fight with those two guys where that one guy got hit and then it was over” or some crap, but if you start the brawl with a really triumphant one liner, EVERYONE is gonna remember that. It won’t matter even if you won or lost because you were the guy that had the badass one liner (sometimes my one liners have a few lines, though).

Wow,that’s money right there…my fighting days are over for the most part but on the off chance that I do have to throw down at some point in the near future,I will keep that in mind…I’m thinking something like “Repo Man is always intense”…or maybe “Ordinary fuckin people,I hate em”…
None of his band seemed to really be concerned…
that should be a hint right there.

I found that to be pretty fucked up. It sounded like Twiggy was gonna stop for a second, but wow.

Meh…they are professionals. They’re supposed to keep playing, especially since it was the last song and the biggest hit. What are the going to do, carry him out themselves? That’s what the crew is for…
What’s more amusing is that he just sits there with his fat ass pointing at the crowd for like 4 minutes before they carry him off…
He may have had the flu but I’m quite sure he was drunk as well, or something…

How about stop and see if they can provide aid or comfort for their fallen friend?

Or maybe since he’s a total dopey clown these days. Maybe the people around him figure to just “let him go”, and do nothing. Maybe they bribe him with alcohol to get him on the tour bus. Works for Jourgensen.
