Watching 10 Things I Hate About You for the First Time Ever!! // Ledger and Stiles are the dream!

[@briantaulbee5744]

Ledger didn't know that Stiles was going to cry there during the poem-reading (neither did she), so his shell-shocked reaction is also genuine. This was a lightning-in-a-bottle movie.

[@sassygyuxoxo]

why did she cry?

[@R.J.Godzilla81]

The fact that we lost Ledger so soon, and before EVER getting another movie with him and Stiles together again, is criminal, and will forever make me sad.

[@StarkRG]

I think we might be at the point where you could do it with deep fakes. You'll still need an actor with a similar build to Ledger's who can mimic his movement and acting style.

[@starytancerz]

I don't know the story of Cusack and Steve Holland, but I heard they had a falling out after Better Off Dead, something to do with Cusack not liking how the character came across. Ok, pulled this from the trivia for One Crazy Summer - "According to Savage Steve Holland, he and John Cusack did not get along during filming. Cusack was disappointed with their previous collaboration, Better Off Dead... (1985) and was angry with Holland. According to Holland, Cusack finally lightened up after that film received good reviews, but Cusack never spoke to Holland again." I feel like that might be dated - I thought they reconciled.

[@TheClassicWorld]

It's 'cliche' like that because it is distilled truth; a composite sketch. A thousand stories, all with common threads. It's not a single case of something like this actually happening, rather, it is every possible case of something like this ever happening. That's why we will watch it over and over again, whereas, you would never watch it if it was actually 'realistic'. You can already get that on reality TV or by reading the newspaper. That's boring and without any depth, relatability, or meta-narrative (take-away). This is actually meant to teach you something about yourself, knowingly or unknowingly. That's why we pay to go and watch such stories. So, in that sense, it is 'true', it's just a deeper, more Jungian kind of truth -- a patchwork of reality and lives. Just like The Santa Clause films, for example. The more 'cliche' it is (in a good way), the more truthful, symbolic, and psychological it is. At a certain point, this becomes 'archetypal'. (Of course, there are also horrible cliched films, and they are bad because they are only surface-level, and typically poorly made, making them cliche, but not very worthwhile. Sometimes they are self-defeating, such as comedy films that are not funny, or serious films that are not serious. That's when you tend to fall into the 'so bad it's good' realm, or 'so bad it's funny', at least.)

Just a note- you had Allison Janney back if you had held on through the credits to the outtakes. Also 90% of high school movies are awful. This one is a classic Overall- great reaction- as usual.

Careful listing 3 name boys, you’ll get to a serial killer real quick

[@markmac2206]

or just a very infamous killer. Lee Harvey Oswald, John Wilkes Booth, Mark David Chapman...

Julia Stiles drove my first car in this movie - 1964 Dodge Dart.

Great reaction as usual. One of the most sharply written teen comedies around, and just a lot of fun. My wife still cracks me up by randomly wondering aloud if you can ever just be whelmed.

Taming Of The Shrew is my favorite and I love this movie!

[@misterkite]

My favorite teen movie is Better Off Dead.

I watched this for the first time yesterday and I was taken aback by the final shot of the band on the roof because I recognised that it must've been very difficult to film and they must've had to do it right, whereas now that kind of shot would've been taken from a drone. now knowing each retake would cost $5000 absolutely shocks me.

I admit, I am not a huge fan of high school movies. Yet this one and 'Pump up the Volume' are the two exceptions and accompanied me through my teenage years

[@teedawg11]

Pump Up The Volume needs to be reacted to by anyone. Also Heathers both have Christian Slater. Side note - both are high school movies.

[@karabelles5142]

Heath's character is Australian here :)

[@Hannwilliams]

Can you please react to Now and Then (1995) absolutely love it!

[@jasontheoldmillennial7197]

I don’t think I was in high school yet but this was a big movie for teenagers at the time. It was the first movie I saw Heath Ledger and Julia Styles in. Heath Ledger was in an action TV show called Roar before this. Julia Styles gives a great performance in one of the seasons of Dexter.

Shanelle : That's the elf from santa Clause Me : Thats the guy who stabbed Carter on ER

This movie is so clever. I love the dad's job explaining his overprotectiveness.

[@aipaloovik]

This happens to be my ex-wife's favourite movie (we're still friends, btw). I hadn't seen it until she introduced it to me, and I'm grateful she did. I really enjoy this movie, even though it's formulaic as you mentioned. It's still so good.

[@DSGodiva]

Also yes, this soundtrack was ICONIC.

[@peterrenevitz3059]

Another Taming of the Shrew story is Kiss Me Kate. It's a musical from the 50s. Its a play inside the story. It's worth a watch.

When this came out and my sister rented it for the first time I acted like I hated it the whole time because "it's a girl movie" (I was 9 or 10) but I loved it. I became a fan of Ledger and Stiles and watched all of their work afterwards. I was already a fan of Joseph Gordon-Levitt from 3rd rock from the sun
