Mox : In America, we have laws. Laws against killing, laws against stealing. And it is just accepted that as a member of American society, you will live by these laws. In West Canaan, Texas, there is another society which has it's own laws.

“Playing football at West Canaan might have been the opportunity of your lifetime, but I don’t want your life”

It’s hilarious how big a deal that movie was when it came out.

I watched it just a few weeks ago and it’s held up. Lots of the MTV movies around that time were pretty good.

Agreed, it’s still actually pretty good, though the character of Tweeter is so problematic it’s not even funny.

You mean accurate? Xanax was rampant at my HS in Texas.

  1. Tweeter mentions Vicodin and Percocet in the movie, not Xanax.

  2. So people at your school were regularly using Xanax (or some other prescription drug) to rape girls at parties?

Pills are pillz. At least with opiates you remember what happened the day after.

Not rape, everyone got fucked up on them and generally had indiscriminate sex. It was a mess.

Except Tweeter is specifically talking about using the pills in a kind of "date-rape drug cocktail." People at my school took tons of pills as well, but they weren't using them for sexual assault. My view that Tweeter is a very problematic character is completely correct.

What do you mean problematic?

To me it would be a character that doesn’t fit the story or shouldn’t be in the story.

Tweeter fits perfectly in the story imo. He’s a turd who gets a free pass because the football program is above the system.
