pretty bad movie if you really think about it, but it holds up on nostalgia alone. really sloppy movie and one of my favorites to read about because of how many characters and different days they scrapped while filming and just made it one.
it was really weird as a kid that Liv Tyler was always presented as the star of the movie for marketing, and then the real main character is bascially hidden. did she have some aerosmith videos come out between filming or something?
your question is fair because i think the main criticism of the movie is just that. zero focus. i'd say Lucas and the guy you mentioned would obviously be the main characters
liv tyler is hot as frick, you're right but she literally has just as much screentime as renee zellweger, who definitely isn't the lead either
But there's a big focus on her and her hooking up with the popstar guy, her father-daughter relationship with the manager and her hooking up with that co-worker who was scoping her. Lucas was the one who lost all the store's money, right?
Anyway, I liked it for what it was (90's teen comedy with a banging soundtrack) but there's better 90's record store movies.

yeah, Lucas was the guy who lost all the money. Maybe I just always thought of him as the main character since there is ever one person to latch onto.
I never really got the father-daughter thing with Liv and the manager. The script is honestly terrible, but might be because they cut so much after filming. Tobey Maguire filmed a decent sized part in this

I figured the main characters were turtleneck, Liv Tyler, the guy who wants to date her, and the store owner
this is a good summation of this movie.
the dialogue audio is often shit and you need subs to understand what they are saying.
Its still comfy though and I have seen it several times.
People that talk about things like gen x, zoomers, boomers and millenials are what is wrong with the world. Acting like a generation of people is all the same. Either trolling or just very dumb, maybe both
a very unusually large amount of people had babies immediately after ww2 so there was a huge population boom. that made life a certain way. Then later those people had kids who are more spread out and less meaningful to group, the millenials. Before the Boomers were old enough to have these kids there was just a space where there any many babies. Except that the few here were born just wandered into a world that was focused on adults because there only was like 2 kids. So that generation got called generation "x" because x means (seriously) "can't be bothered thinking of a word". Growing up not given a shit about by society definitely did make them morose mopey c**ts
>that generation got called generation "x" because x means (seriously) "can't be bothered thinking of a word"
It was because of the the book by Douglas Coupland titled Generation X (that he stole from Billy Idol's first band) and the media looking for a label for that age of people for marketing and convenience purposes.
nobody's saying they're all the same but that they have a shared culture, values, fashions etc they have a tendency to subscribe to, which is entirely correct. a random gen-xer is likely to intuitively understand a concept like "selling out" in a way that zoomers don't, because it's a cultural idea that has since been eradicated out of public consciousness. generations are a useful shorthand, just like referring to decades, like how not everybody in the 80s was gordon gekko but shameless greed was obviously "in the zeitgeist."
>nobody's saying they're all the same
Oh but they are my good sir, msm does it, but on here its so much worse. Its simultaniously funny to me, because they say things like 'cope zoomer' but that logic is a just a big coping mechanism
how do zoomers cope with being the troon generation? boomers have their woodstock and hippy shit, genxers have their edgy rebellion and kurt cobain's suicide, millennials have early internet culture and "geek chic," but for the zoomers the defining thing is mental illness, disfiguring surgeries and bickering over pronouns. how awful

i don't get it
I think he probably was nastier in the original cut. You can tell there is an awkward edit, and this movie is known to have so much shit cut out of it. Going off the version we got, it was that he was a slob and not what she had imagined
it's so weird in the movie though
a sexy 18yo record store employee offers to suck his dick while he eats his lunch and he says okay and they treat it like he tried to rape her or something
it's so weird in the movie though
a sexy 18yo record store employee offers to suck his dick while he eats his lunch and he says okay and they treat it like he tried to rape her or something
apparently his line before liv runs out was "do you like blue cheese?" but it was cut for being too crude
She had created a fantasy scenario in her head that was something out of a romance novel. He was her as just another groupie so he treated her like that in the encounter. He tried talking her out of it initially so he was unfairly demonized but the others only heard from her point of view.
I had a girlfriend who made me watch this. I remember just staring at prime Gen X ass the whole movie. I can't remember that song it plays though, the one that everybody remembers? should probably look it up
I know it's not something most of this board wants to talk about but every 90s Kevin Smith movie is basically this. I think the only one that actually still holds up for a young modern audience would be Clerks
This is one of those cult classics that I didn't watch back in the days and now decades later I wonder what the fuss was about.
It's forgettable, it's not funny and it tries so hard to be meaningful.
Hot girls though.
this movie is everything wrong with gen x
no cap fr fr
>gen x
>in high school in 1976
what?
the popular normie pick
the contrarian pick. all the characters in this movie are shitbags.
the kino pic. only for true movie fans

kino soundtrack though

my question is where is the dog from the poster?
It's a fake dog mascot in the movie you see once maybe twice.
But she is the main character? Unless Anthony La Paglia was supposed to be. Also, of note, she's hot as frick in it

based line by rex

plex has a lot of ads
Clerks, I love the gum salesman
>ITT: Times you acted like Rex Manning
SHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGAR HIGH
Mhm leg
I remember liking this one. It doesn't really holds up
I had a girlfriend who made me watch this. I remember just staring at prime Gen X ass the whole movie. I can't remember that song it plays though, the one that everybody remembers? should probably look it up
there are many memorable songs in this movie, anon, you'll have to be more specific
There's only one and IT'S NOT IN THE FRICKING SOUNDTRACK!!!!!!!
maybe this its the opening song but not on the soundtrack. kino
This one?
Sugar high?
Renee Turdburger's fine everything is the only reason to watch this pos.
>plans this months in advance
>never thinks to wear matching underwear
fricking moron
eeewww, unmatching underwear.
cool the endless summer II
I know it's not something most of this board wants to talk about but every 90s Kevin Smith movie is basically this. I think the only one that actually still holds up for a young modern audience would be Clerks
I've always been partial to Mallrats, I think there just need to be more hangout movies like that and Clerks really
literally only clerks and mallrats are like that, you fricking moron
did you genuinely think you were making a good point?
Cast the inevitable remake
>ugly black people and trannies
>one token white guy who spends the movie apologising for his priviledge
>selling out to music town is a good thing
this one, but i have few, maybe 24 hours, night on earth, afterhours or dog day afternoon
that movie sucks. only the boss was cool
This movie probably has the best examples of what teens actually wore in the mid 90s.
This is one of those cult classics that I didn't watch back in the days and now decades later I wonder what the fuss was about.
It's forgettable, it's not funny and it tries so hard to be meaningful.
Hot girls though.
You just had to be there man
I miss white America
i'll push that b***h right over if she tried to symbolically hold me back like that
Wow, looks like this is the ultimate zoomer filter. This was everything you wanted your life to be in the 90s.
its gotta be "do the right thing"
Watched it for the first time 6 hours ago. It does just enough for me to like it, but it's pretty average.
Where would all these guys work in 2023?
The last Barnes and noble in their town.
I don't understand how the famous singer was supposed to be the bad guy when SHE was the one seducing HIM
i thought that part was funny. he just unzipped his pants like have at it baby
a trash movie, a wannabe clerks if you will, also the nice guy gets the hot chick at the end, unrealistic so this movie is trash
also reality bites was better
