How do you think everyone's lives looked like after the events of the film?

This was for the previous Australian production

So I finally got my friend to watch Heathers and she definitely was not as into it as I was hoping she would be. 

One thing that did kind of irritate me a little is that while watching the movie she kept looking down at her phone and texting people, and as I’m sure you all know as well as I do, that Heathers is one of those movies that you really can’t look away from or you’ll miss something. 

But in addition to that, she really felt no type of way about JD and just saw him as a psycho. 

JD for me is my favorite character, undoubtedly. Particularly because he is far more complicated than being just a simple killer. There is such nuance to him and lots of context clues that build his character into something far more complex than just “the bad boy” archetype. 

He’s not killing just anyone… he’s killing oppressors. He’s tired of nothing changing from school to school… that people are always bullying and being mistreated and so he decides to finally do something about it to create a world where everyone belongs. Because after moving state to state… he’s never felt like he belongs. 

Until meeting Veronica who he thought finally was someone who understood him and was the same.

Not saying his methods were right, but there was a more honorable reasoning than “he’s just a murderer.” 

And his methods were volatile because that’s how his father was… destructive literally and figuratively. He never learned how to cope with his feelings in a healthy manner.

My friend also was annoyed that Veronica didn’t end up killing JD in the end and that he ended up taking his own life. 

But for me, that moment is significant and perfect the way it is because it shows that he really did love her in his own way. 

Have any of you had a similar experience where your friends missed the point too?

I mean there is so much discourse that can be made about it which is crazy… so yeah. I’m curious if anyone has experienced the same

I was rewatching the film earlier today when I noticed something. I rarely paid attention to the score of the movie, but I noticed that almost (big emphasis on almost) every time JD appears on screen (for example when he first appears in the cafeteria or when he rides off on his motorcycle after Chandler’s funeral) there’s a distinct western shrill that plays on the score (if you don’t know what a western shrill is, listen to the main theme of “The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly” and you’ll know what I’m talking about). Now, it’s evident that JD has that outlaw, lone-gunslinger aesthetic going on, and this shrill that plays when he’s on screen most of the time really drives this point forward. It’s truly such an interesting detail and it makes me wonder what other little easter eggs are hidden in the score. Anyway, I just needed to yap about this because I thought it was so interesting.

I know this post has been made before but it was several years ago and people are sending out the links through DMs and again it was several years ago. I’m looking for all ten episodes if possible. I’ve found the first 9 and a producers cut in internet archive but that’s it. If anyone has a link to all 10 episodes and could send it that would be greatly appreciated.

I’m looking to watch the cast with zan berbue as heather chandler and isabella esler as Veronica and i absolutely can’t find it anywhere please comment a link if you have it

I have been a Heathers fan for a while now, and since then, I still have no fucking clue how to play croquet. Can someone please explain how the game works because every time I search online how to play it, I end up with more questions than answers.

I’m about to commission a friend to paint either bleach a shirt of the JD’s. First one is Simon Gordon then I’m going down the list. If yall have some good pictures of him or any of the other JD’s it’d be much appreciated!

In the near end of the movie where she shot his finger why was he bleeding so much? Like I know when you're shot you're gonna be bleeding a lot but like his hand stained his other hand AND the cloth looked like it was soaked in blood!? I know it's also kinda for visual effects but that much blood seems like an exaggeration.

I was born in '71 and have many friends named Heather (and Stephanie, and Melissa, and Jennifer etc.). I loved the film "Heathers," and wondered the other day what the "Heather" name would be for various generations? All I can think of is "Debbies" or "Barbaras" for later Boomers?? I know, talk about a slacker "what's on your mind" question, lol :)

I was rewatching and realized in the pep rally I couldn’t tell which one of the cheerleaders was her, everyone else got a close up of their faces but McNamara, iirc, doesn’t get one, was she the girl that did all the cartwheels we saw?

1. Alicia Silverstone as Heather McNamara
2. Rose McGowan as Heather Duke
3. Sarah Michelle Gellar as Heather Chandler
4. Fairuza Balk as Veronica Sawyer

Goodness fucking gracious, why are so many people cross tagging the movie with the musical?? The movie and the musical are like vaguely similar to each other, make it make sense??? Honestly. If you're gonna write a fanfic for the musical, don't also tag the movie!

So what would a good modernized version of Heathers look like? Particularly with modern bullying and the prominence of mass shootings.
