The fact that it's from the soundtrack to Disturbing Behavior makes it even worse. It was the "anti-teen movie" teen movie, and filled with so much vacuous angst. Like rock was, from that point forward.

I don't know if Latinx is official usage; I seem to recall reading about it being a somewhat divisive term? I'm also genuinely interested in the answer.
Teen movies are a limited value commodity. Some are better than others for their cleverness and ability to capture the issues of the time, but very few of them say anything altogether important.
I insist on calling myself Generation Y, if only because I remember being, like, twelve and reading articles to the effect of "Damn these Gen-Y kids and their Spice Girls and their various other forms of mass consumption".
Yeah, it's really good if you want to watch something enjoyable and clever but not something you actually have to think about.
I literally just say "Latin-X" because it's fun and makes them sound like a division of the X-Men.
I recently tried a re-watch and it did not hold up to how much 12 year old me had loved it. I miss Steve Zahn being in everything, though.
Yeah, I would actually love if this became exclusively old TV footage, but chances are it'll just continue to be "Simulacra, Internet!"
Every time I hear it I get the same wistful pang I get at the end of that movie.
I didn't love that use of Everybody Wants to Rule the World, I felt like it was a little on the nose/telegraphed too much about the character. That whole opening sequence to Dylan was the best part of the movie, though.
I think my favorite usage of Don't Fear The Reaper is the end of Season 2 of Orange Is The New Black, even if it was a little on the nose.
"Mmm whatcha say" memes are still hilarious to me even though it's been, like, a decade.
I saw it on MLK day because I'm a sucker for a theme. There were three people in the theatre, myself included, which was depressing. It was a good movie, though.
I took it as gloomy because it was kind of a callback to her conversation with Jonathan about her mother's predictable/stereotypical life choices. But I mean, they're just teenagers, they don't have to get married, and I'm not totally sure Jonathan would've been a good choice, either.
Yeah, I agree. If anything, I saw him as the anxious one - where his friends saw a call to adventure, he saw very real danger. Add to that that his friend is missing and possibly dead, his other friends have suddenly decided to help this complete stranger with a distressing lack of understanding for common/common…
Oh man, me too. All of the above.
I had/heard this soundtrack before the first one. I bought it while on summer vacation and listened to it at my uncle's cottage on his rinky-dink cassette player and loved it. Memories!
Courtney Love is really into Fleetwood Mac and listed them as one of her influences when she was forming Hole. You can tell she's in her element with that cover.
Critics and I regularly disagree about horror movies! It's kind of fun, really. But we live in a weird time where people overidentify with stuff they like so everything feels imbued with more importance than it actually has.
When I first started reading horror again, I was like, "Stephen King thought it was good!" and a few books later I've realized that I simply cannot trust that endorsement.
