Yeah, I was only ten when it came out. But as soon as I saw it, I knew it was my favorite. Heathers and Rocky Horror both sit at the top. For years there were rumours that they were going to shoot a sequel; the gossip first came out after Winona starred in Alien Resurrection and then sort of petered out. I don't know how good it would have been, but I still would ahve been first in line to see it. The plot was supposed to involve a high school reunion, but it just wouldn't have been the same without Slater.

I'm glad I got it when it first came out because it went out of print almost immediately (like most Anchor Bay releases do). I'm sure you could get it for a few bucks on Amazon or eBay, though. It's worth it, trust me. I would have preferred the original ending myself, but I still like the one in the movie. Can you just imagine how much darker the movie would have been with the original ending? My word.

On another note, I watched another one of my favorite movies last night, After Hours, and I was never aware of the original ending that they had. Can we say "trippy"?

Here's a list of Winona's rock star conquests (and this doesn't even include the actors she gone out with!)
1989: Paul Westerberg, the Replacements (I don't don't if this is true)
1994: Dave Pirner, Soul Asylum
1997: Evan Dando, The Lemonheads
1997: Stephan Jenkins, Third Eye Blind
1997: Dave Grohl, Foo Fighters
2000: Beck
2001: Ryan Adams
2001: Pete Yorn
2001: Jack White, The White Stripes
2002: Julian Casablancas, The Strokes
2003: Page Hamilton, Helmet
2005: Conor Oberst, Bright Eyes

Winona is my hero.
I had no idea the list was so long.

And I must be quite the obsessive Heathers fan when I see that she dated Paul Westerberg in '89 and automatically think of Westerberg High.
