Corn. Nuts.


"My teenage angst bullshit now has a body count."

Previously I mentioned the buzz about a sequel to "Sixteen Candles". Well now there's buzz about a sequel to "Heathers", the 1989 black comedy starring Winona Ryder and Christian Slater. The film has achieved a cult following and status.

As seen in this week's Entertainment Weekly:

"According to Winona Ryder, she and Heathers scripter Daniel Waters--both at work on the dark comedy Sex and Death 101--are drumming up a sequel to the 1989 cult classic. 'I've been [arguing], 'There's Heathers in the real world!' she says. 'We have to keep going.'"

I think a sequel would be interesting and I'd love it, but it's been bandied about for at least the past ten years or so. Therefore I'll believe it when I see it.

As a morbid aside, regarding Kim Walker, who played Heather Chandler (Heather #1). One of Heather Chandler's quotes was "Did you eat a brain tumor for breakfast?". Sadly, Kim died of a brain tumor in 2001 at the age of 32.
