Fuck Larry Clark, Harmonie Korine, and Kids "the movie. That shit ruined people's fucking lives.
it definitely did. but i'm curious as to whose lives you think it ruined.
It ruined my life because I never saw it and so at cocktail parties I was a real loser.
lol for real? kinda hard to believe you still haven't seen it. especially since i know you're an old man, like myself.
I actually never saw it either but it seems like its a pretty big deal to people who have seen it.

THIS
i was just surprised that gay hadn't seen it, since i believe we are from the same generation. and pretty much anyone from my generation, skateboarder or not, has seen it.
i'm not sure if it the impact of the film would hold up to the fresh eyes of today's generation, but at the time aids was a huge fucking deal (medicine that could slow the virus down had yet to be developed), and previous skate films seemed largely limited to 80's cliches... totally tubular, dude! radical!!
also, hardly anyone in it was an actual actor. the cast were real deal early 90s nyc skateboarders. pretty much the entire og zoo york/supreme teams were in there. it's kind of a time capsule, too.
I wonder since the LAPD wants to find more victims, the continuing investigation may hold up the trial? I bet they're going to be out for a while, courts are usually backed up. I have no idea if the degree of charges has influence on the court date. Maybe a trial date is already set.
Why is this getting compared to Kids? How much older were Casper and Telly than Rosario Dawson and the other chick? I never got pedo vibes or 27 year old kooks driving around with 15 year olds hollering at 12 year olds vibes from Kids.
i think justin may have hit 18 by the time the film debuted, but the others were definitely minors. i know the cast was predominantly underage.
