I really liked Kids (as much as it's possible to like a movie like that) but I know some people and critics who really viscerally took against it. I feel like the closer you were to living that kind of lifestyle, or knowing people who did, the more you'll like the movie. I suspect for many it's hard to believe or imagine kids being like that, possibly because they don't want to.
Now go watch Requiem For A Dream again just to really make yourself feel good.
Lol, did that like 4 years ago. It’s such a great freaking movie, but the 2nd time convinced me that I never need to see it again.
I was a senior in high school when kids came out and I was at the height of my heavy drug use and not giving a excrement about anything phase in life. The 2nd time I got high, first time I ever laced weed with anything, was right in Washington Square Park, right where they beat the excrement out of that guy. I’ve been in the Tunnel, which is the club they’re in, and I used to go to The Limelight enough. Wasn’t a skateboarder, but we would grind the rails and jump the stairs at Union Square with skates. I wouldn’t say I was as deprived as Tully and Casper were, but I wasn’t far behind and many of the people I hung out were worse than them. So, LOL, I identified with the movie a bit. Another LOL, probably a good reason we hit it off so well, as im sure you can identify with it pretty easily too.
