NijiTheRobot I found this movie on netflix today. F*ckin loved it like the first one, shown to me by my best friend, the first punk kid i've ever met.So here's why this movie is awesome to me.I was the goth/cyberpunk kid who grew up with punks. We went to shows together, we played rancid to heartbreak. We lived this movie. This was our teenage years, driving 100 miles drunk off our asses down the 101 blasting the f*ck out of punk rock. Going to shows in LA, moshing our asses off for every single song that's played, dripped in sweat and someone else's blood.This movie was great because it reminds me of the first show I ever went to. And the next one. and the next one. Its a reminder that, no matter how old you get, you can wear a tie and work a day job, but you're still a punk no matter what. I wanna say i saw the first one close to 10 years ago. This is one of those movies I'll be buying (along with the first one), showing my kids if DVD's are still a thing, going "listen here you little sh*ts. Your uncle Adam and I lived this. This here is what love looks like. All that f*ckin energy. In short, this movie is excellent because its something anyone in the scene who's getting older can relate to. Its excellent because its originality even when its a story that has been told and experienced over and over by almost everybody, and its excellent because it makes a person remember who they are. Its excellent because it reminds you of your teenage heartbreak, the booze and moshing after, and that cute blonde you make eye contact with on the rebound of your first show. Even with the irony of the title, its a reminder that punk's not dead, because punk is where the love's at. Its one of those movies that make you remember.Thank you heroine bob.

Hellmant 'PUNK'S DEAD: SLC PUNK 2': Two and a Half Stars (Out of Five)A sequel to the 1998 cult classic 'SLC PUNK!'; once again written and directed by James Merendino. Actors Michael A. Goorjian, Devon Sawa, James Duval and Adam Pascal all reprise their roles (from the original film); as Heroin Bob, Sean, John the Mod and Eddie. Matthew Lillard (the star of 'SLC PUNK!') did not agree to return, to his most iconic role. The film also stars Ben Schnetzer, Machine Gun Kelly, Hannah Marks and Sarah Clarke (replacing Annabeth Gish, as Trish). The film tells the story of three outsider rebels, on a road trip to a punk rock show. It's definitely nowhere near as good (or as classic) as the original. The story, this time, revolves around a 19-year-old misfit, named Ross (Schnetzer); the son of Heroine Bob (Goorjian) and Trish (Clarke). Bob died before Ross was born, but he still narrates his story; from beyond the grave. Ross just got dumped by a girl, and has decided to go on a road trip with two punk friends, Penny (Marks) and Crash (Kelly), to a punk rock show. Along the way he does drugs and alcohol, for the very first time, and his mother becomes very concerned; upon hearing about it.The movie is extremely low-budget, and amateurish looking; which is very fitting for a movie about punks, and punk rock music. I admire the message of the film, and a lot of things the filmmakers were trying to say, but I just don't think it came together right (as a whole). The jokes are not funny, and the characters all seem like bad fake stereotypes. In a way, the movie kind of becomes what it's supposed to be fighting against. I respect it's ambition, and effort though; but it definitely doesn't live up to the original. There are some good live performance in it (from the likes of Dwarfs and Screeching Weasel), and the soundtrack is pretty cool though!Watch our movie review show 'MOVIE TALK' at: https://youtu.be/n2qWxeZ0Tck

allIwantedwaspepsi Such is life that I will never be able to be 21 again and see SLC Punk for the first time. It's a movie I proudly watch with my kids. Punk's Dead is incredible. As an alternative Mom, I identify with Trish. I've got responsibilities but I still can't fit in. I think it's okay and my kids turned out okay. Punk's Dead is nostalgic, pays homage to SLC Punk and Punk Rock, I cried a few time and laughed a lot. The actors old and new are amazing. Hannah Marks reminds me of myself at her age and Ben Schnetzer is perfect, portraying a kid that grew up to fast. I like the different vibe between the kids who are just having fun and the adults bitterness.

Giner Vitus I wanted to like it. For gods sake I have heroin bob tattooed on me. the shallow time of a hour and fifteen made me nervous from the start I know this movie didn't have a budget like the last one but if Kevin smith can make clerks I'm pretty sure James could have rubbed a little bit of a better especially with the time he took to make this too. It felt overly rushed I almost can't describe it. The characters were barely there. The whole plot of the movie takes place because of a event described for a few minutes. bobs skull cap was horrendous especially in the opening sequence. Little things for the time period were off (again low budget not necessarily in his control) but this is supposedly the early 2000s then why are they using 2010+ cell phones that's just poor direction. Also the fact of no mention whatsoever of Steveo seemed weird. Shawn drew it together and was the only character and maybe Trish that I enjoyed seeing again very well written stories for those two. In the end it tried too hard to capture on slc punk and grow and yet start something new with Ross and his two friends if it had more time to develop it would have been better. If your a die-hard SLC punk fan see it once to see some old faces again then forget about it.
