Those of us who watched Kids as adolescents, growing up in an era before iPhones, Facebook, and Tiger Moms, had our minds blown from wherever we were watching–whether it was the Angelika Film Center on the Lower East Side or our parents’ Midwestern basements. We were captivated by the entirely unsupervised teens smoking blunts, drinking forties, hooking up, running amok and reckless through the New York City streets. Simultaneously, the driving storyline highlighted the terror of HIV and AIDS, which was at its apex in the mid-nineties.

I thought this story about the movie Kids might deserve its own thread:
The sooner we put those assholes in the grave&piss on the dirt above it, the better off we'll be

I heard about it when I was in highschool but didn't see it until I was in my early twenties. The best word i can think of to describe it is unpleasant.
A single shot rifle and a one eyed dog.

Yeah, Kids is a good film but Jesus is it hard to watch. "Unpleasant" is as good a description as any.
