Thanks
Thanks for the input. I bought it yesterday and it does hold up really well and I'd forgotten how much I loved the soundtrack. After the classic Heathers and this did Christian Slater just hit the skids or what? Has he starred in another decent movie?

Also keep in mind that that he returns to the theater (he was a chld actor) and I saw him on Broadway about 3 years ago co-starring with Edie Falco (Carmella Soprano) in Sideman.

I know this is slightly off the topic but, for the person who mentioned Everybody Know, I warn people not to buy the soundtrack for that song. The group that did it for the Album is Concrete Blonde whereas the song in the movie is by Leonard Cohen and it does not even compare. I know this as I purchased the album way back to get that song. Boy was I dissapointed. Then I spent about 2 weeks tracking down the version that was from the movie.

Thanks for listening.

This is one movie I am glad to have the full frame version included on. From the description on the back it sounded as if it would be P&S but I assume it is open matte correct?
The Samantha Mathis scene is better in the full frame version.

Re: Pump Up The Volume Review?
"Pump up the Volume" is an amazing film- both funny & tragic. I just re-watched this for the first time in a while. It's definitely got a late '80's feel, which makes sense since it was probably filmed in '89.
Excellent soundtrack as well, including The Pixies, Beastie Boys, Sonic Youth, and others.
I thought it was interesting how the CS character was so reserved while at school, but then became very outgoing/extroverted/opinionated when he hosted his own personal radio show. This reminds me of certain radio hosts I've heard about over the years who are introverted in person, but became completely different people when they're on the air and are somewhat "protected" - LOL.
