The latter falls into the >"so bad, it's good" category. Anyone heard of either of these? > Suburbia - great movie. Its by Penelope Spheeris who did the "Decline of Western Civilization", a documentary on the LA punk scene. Suburbia, though, is not a documentary. Its about a group of dropouts who live a version of a punk rock life style. They live in an abandoned housing tract that has been condemned to make way for a freeway. There is a club performance by T.S.O.L and the Vandals. I highly reccomend this movie. Powerful opening sequence - a little kid is ripped apart by a doberman while her mother is in a phone booth calling for help for their car which broke down on an L.A. freeway, baby.
