"Pump Up The Volume", Film Rec
Ok, so great movie I watched this week.
"Pump Up the Volume" with Christian Slayter... AMAZING movie! Very much a look at the post modern world through the eyes of teens... Though alot of it applies across all age dynamics...
Quotes from teh movie:
"I'm sick of being ashamed. I don't mind being dejected and rejected, but I'm not going to be ashamed about it. At least pain is real. I mean, you look around and you see nothing is real, but at least the pain is real."
"Do you ever get the feeling that everything in America is completely fucked up?"
"You see, there's nothing to do anymore. Everything decent's been done. All the great themes have been used up. Turned into theme parks. So I don't really find it exactly cheerful to be living in the middle of a totally, like, exhausted decade where there's nothing to look forward to and no one to look up to."
"They say I'm disturbed. Well, of course I'm disturbed. I mean, we're all disturbed. And if we're not, why not? Doesn't this blend of blindness and blandness want to make you do something crazy? Then why not do something crazy? It makes a helluva lot more sense than blowing your fucking brains out. "
"They think you're moody, make 'em think you're crazy. Make 'em think you might snap. They say you got attitude, you show 'em some real attitude. "
