1. and 8 years later, she wore rollerskates… and that’s it

2. That’s not very conservative of them.

   Seriously I grew up conservative and you would never throw out a family member, including a drug addict, a psycho, and an unwed mother. That was the conservative value I was raised on – you never give up on family.

   But since going on the internet I can see why people become progressive as fuck when the love they receive is from the alternatives who took them in.

   Conservative communities only have themselves to blame for people going progressive and away from conservatism

3. Where the fuck is Heather Graham now? I guess she was sick of being put in movies just for inducing boners, even though I thought she was funny as hell.

4. So she went all in as Rollergirl?!

5. Is she in the hangover?

6. She was in Drugstore Cowboy just one year later. A movie about a group of young people that rob pharmacies and in that movie she dies of an OD. Great fucking movie by the way.

7. BUT HER NAME WAS HEATHER

8. She kickstarted puberty for a lot of men of my generation and we all owe her a debt of gratitude.

9. Am I the only old around here that remembers her from License to Drive with the two Coreys?!? I loved that movie.

10. So she needs to be on the reboot.

11. Rollergirl sure showed them.

12. Early in her career she appeared in Drugstore Cowboy which was edgy considering the subject matter but nowhere near as scathing as the murderous shenanigans portrayed in Heathers.

13. And it’s a little on the nose.

14. The director mentioned this a while ago, he said he even spent forever talking to her mom trying to change her mind. It was the Kim Walker character.
