The Quintessentialist

So I just finished watching the 80's cult classic, Heathers, and I have to say that I really enjoyed this black comedy. The movie follows a girl named Veronica (Winona Ryder) as her and her boyfriend J.D. (Christian Slater) plan on killing the popular kids in the school. Veronica was once a part of the popular kids, but after she begins to date J.D. that's when the plotting begins. I must note that this is a black comedy, and this movie is not suited for everyone. If you can handle a dark sense of humor, then I would recommend this movie, otherwise you may want to pass on this one. The acting in this movie is really well done for the most part.

I would like to say that I have never seen the movie Heathers, I have only seen the trailer for this 1980's movie. Now a little while ago Paramount released a trailer for a show (I believe that it is a show) called Heathers, based on the original movie. You can watch the original Heathers trailer  here . You can watch the new version trailer  here . Now please tell me, which looks better? In my opinion, I would say the older, original movie looks a million times better than the new version that is being pushed out to people. This new version looks like it will be crappy, and over the top. Now this is a comedy, but you can tell by watching the trailer, that they are going for the most lowbrow, simple, and uninspired writing that can get them a paycheck the quickest. In the new trailer, I swear I've heard the music that they played in it in about a million other comedy trailers. I think I might watch the old version, because it looks like it could actually be pretty good...
