Not to start an akward obsession online with The Hills or anything, but I realised after publishing my last text that the LA fab crew have a lot of similarities with the dark comedy The Heathers from 1989. They´re young, rich, gorgeous and evil - framed in a surreal scenario with manipulative plots and crushes on mental boys.
( Btw, did you know that the producer actually tried to get film icon Stanley Kubrick to direct the movie?)
The Heathers (picture from photobucket.com) was one of the many to come teenage high school movies (Mean Girls, Bring it On, Clueless etc) to reveal the evil hiararchies girls creates around themselves in school, where through different rules they suppress others to make themselves grow in vailue on the high school stock market. Of course, Veronica aka Winona Ryder as the archetype female rebel starts in collaboration with her nutjob of a boyfriend Christian Slater to kill all the Heathers, which also happens to be her only friends. Dont worry, it all ends well. Veronica gets her heart and sanity back and dumps crazyboy, which blows himself up and order is back in place in high school town.
I wonder what will happen next with the neu Heathers and all their chickdrama and weird boyfriends. I´m just glad that Slater isn´t around with his spooky bombs and mentalproblems.
