the story just doesn't make sense to me (the silence of the gang around their friend's murder, sort of coerced by crispin glover's weedy leader just seems odd) and crispin glover gets a bit much. him just shouting "feeeeeeeeeeck!" etc.

there's a thin line between Heathers and Sweetie... River's Edge crosses it
Some of the worst Hollywood actor attempts at playing 'punk' I've ever seen

I disagree. The characters in that movie are basically the kids I went to high school with.

Err wasn’t River’s Edge was based on a true story?And it’s great, stfu with these challops.
― circa1916, Wednesday, 9 October 2019 22:01 (four years ago) link
yeah it's loosely based on a true story.
doesn't make its fictional rendering anymore convincing
― Seany's too Dyche to mention (jim in vancouver), Wednesday, 9 October 2019 22:02 (four years ago) link
Fire in the Sky also based on a true story

Anyways it’s good and I see it as a sorta bridge between like early Spheeris and Larry Clark, Vant Sant teen flicks. Issues with acting or plausibility barely registered to me.

over the edge - which the director co-wrote i think - is way better

Over the Top is the best

River's Edge is just insufferably corny, the very specific proto-Twin Peaks stilted tone doesn't work for me so the whole movie is just silly and weightless, verging into MST3K territory at times (younger brother pointing gun at Keanu).
Having said that, I despise MST3K and everything they stand for.
Been meaning to see Over the Edge for years
― flappy bird, Thursday, 10 October 2019 18:03 (four years ago) link
flappy do you despise mst3k because they are...

love MST3K, i just wish they'd gotten it together to do American Beauty and some other oscar baits.

flappy boat
it's fun to watch a movie with friends (AT SOMEONE"S HOME) and riff but I never understood the appeal of MST3K, besides disagreeing with its premise on moral grounds.
― flappy bird, Thursday, 10 October 2019 23:54 (four years ago) link
It's like the riffing with friends scenario only actually funny
― When I am afraid, I put my toast in you (Neanderthal), Thursday, 10 October 2019 23:54 (four years ago) link
Every time I go to a party where friends "riff" on a movie, eight people scream over the movie for two hours

I always want to like MST3K more than I do. Recent attempts to watch it with family result in a lot of me laughing too "on purpose" while wife/son don't get the joke or me sitting there knowing I'm never going to understand the reference they're trying to make. Eternally catchy theme song though and Felicia Day is cute.

yeah i’ve never seen the new ones & i’ve only occasionally re-watched the old ones but there was definitely a time in my life when getting high & watching mst3k was my favorite kind of night in
― Françoise, Laurel, and Hardy (K. Rrosé), Friday, 11 October 2019 00:26 (four years ago) link
I've never actually watched an entire episode, partly because the movies they snark on are movies I genuinely enjoy watching and dissing on my own terms.
