Ron Weasley Doing Mad Cocaine, Son

Rupert Grint, who plays Ron Weasley in the Harry Potter movies, is in a new movie about youth gone wild called Cherry Bomb, and this is that movie's trailer, you guys:

This is just like that time Jaleel White shocked his fans with a movie about a mom and pop meth lab that faces some stiff competition when Mondo Meth opens up across the street. In your face, moms! Rupert Grint is so gully.

Also, I don't want to sound like the 57-year-old man that I am, but why do all movies about adolescent coming-of-age now have to feature mainlining heroin, grand theft auto, and a double-dong? Since when did Requiem for a Dream replace Sixteen Candles as the standard for youthful self-discovery? Would you care for a Werther's Original? Just pick the pocket lint off. And now if you'll excuse me, I am late for my hip replacement surgery.

Absolutely horrible. And people wonder why more people are getting pregnant these days! Not only does this lost soul condone witchcraft but sex and drugs too!

If we had elected someone like Sarah Palin as president, you can bet this would've never happened. We need to see more movies about the joys and pains of self-discovery through abstinence and drug evasion! And the word of God! It says in the Bible that if you think about sex you should cut off whatever made you think about it. I dare anyone to come up with something edgier for a film. Ya'll, it's time we bring the Lord back into the cinema.

So as Cake Eatur, you're racist, and now as this guy, you're anti-Christian. Congratulations, you're a bigot.

How dare you call me a bigot. I go to church every goddamned Sunday, son. I chug my beer and praise God for allowing me to be born into a place like this where assholes can whine about who's not being nice to who.

Way to bring the demon's out of me.

PERFORMANCE ART. It all makes sense now. Andy Kaufman is rolling in his grave.

so wait.... There's a movie called Cherry Bomb AND a movie called Neon Angels? starring the kids from Harry Potter and Twilight, respectively?

what am I missing? Do they hand out Runaways CDs on the sets of teen fantasy movies or something?

I blame Trainspotting for making drugs and death look so fucking cool. Accents make everything seem better, even dead babies on ceilings.

Becca - don't forget that Kristen Stewart was just cast to play Joan Jett in her new biopic.

I could write a fucking masters thesis on this shit. I am for seriously real. That really, truly "living" = "danger" and "fuck boredom" and that youth lived to its fullest involves mainlining, fucking, sex triangles, drinking, (instead of you know, stealing a golf cart at midnight and outrunning the security guard, or, you know, whatever) isn't living to your fullest, it's your future AA meeting and the realization that your dad still doesn't love you and never will. At age 20. Films like Havoc and this try to make a Cinema Me So Sexy! attempt at basically a long-format video when really it's just Crash. And BUUUUURN!!!

Here's your Werther's Original. Crush it up and mix it with B12 and snort it. Who are the fucking adults making this look like a good time? Shoot to kill. Ech and that soundtrack? It's like singing into a vocal distortion pedal is punk. Mmmm. BOOORING.

And, scene. No but I'm serious.

The word "gully" definitely needs to be used more often.

according to IMDB:

Cherry Bomb follows teenagers Luke, Malachy, and Michelle as they embark on a wild weekend of drink, drugs, shop-lifting and stealing cars. But what starts out as a game turns deadly serious when the three discover that they can't get off the wild ride they've set in motion

so it's like nick & norah, but with hardcore drug orgies?
