Pump Up The Volume
Just finished watching this flick and I was reminded of what a gigantic impact it had on my life. I never had much money as a youngster but I
remember loving it so much I saw it twice in theaters. It came out in the summer before I started 8th grade. This movie is what shaped my beliefs
regarding freedom of speech. It exposed me to the Descendants, Henry Rollins (Rollins and Bad Brains covering "Kick Out the Jams" by MC5 is still one
of my favorite cover songs ever) and Leonard Cohen. I don't like rap music but "Freedom of Speech" by Above the Law had a big impact on me as well.
This movie helped shape who I am today. It was really the first thing I watched that made me really think about governmental control on radio and on
what people say. It showed me that rebellion can be more important than following the rules when it comes to what you truly believe in.
Anybody have a movie that changed the way they think?

i haven't seen that movie in a VERY long time, but the director on that movie has a new movie called Weirdsville that i thought was fuckin' great.
Dexter (Scott Speedman) and Royce (Wes Bentley) are two slackers living in Northern Ontario. One night it appears their friend Matilda (Taryn
Manning) has overdosed on drugs, which they were supposed to sell for a local drug dealer named Omar (Raoul Bhaneja), so they decide to bury her body
in the boiler room of a drive-in theater that's closed for the winter. They interrupt a Satanic cult performing a ritual sacrifice and have to run
away from the cult and the drug dealer that are both after them.

I actually have the soundtrack on CD, just for Rollins/Bad Brains kickin' out the jams.
Well, its this place where nobody works, and the pigs don\'t give you any shit. Everyone smokes weed and gets drunk all day. Its a place where
cunts like me and you can truly take it easy and relax. Know what I mean?

great flick. saw that one in theater as well. as far as things that have affected my way of thinking, music and books have always had a greater impact
for me.

fire, but I?m just not close enough to get the job done.? George Carlin

I thought it was Howard Stern rip off. Music soundtrack rocked.
Each aspect of the soul has it's own part to play, but the ideal is harmonious agreement with reason and control.

Speaking of old flicks, I just watched Repo Man a couple weeks ago. What weird trip that one is.

"The life of a Repo-man is always intense".
"Let's get sushi and not pay."
two quotes from that movie that I still use to this day.
