Does Anyone in this movie ever shower??


or wash their skanky greasy-assed hair?? Whenever I watch this flick and that sex scene between Sticky Fingers Ryder and I'm Tool Cool Hawk is really really bad body b.o. and putrid cigarette/coffee breath...yummy...sexy.

LOL

Well, I at least like to think that Leilana took a shower before putting on that white dress - you know, the one where Troy said she looked like a "doily"? lol

reply

Exactly! I saw this movie when it came out and I couldn't get past the idea everyone just needed a nice hot shower.

I do remember one scene where Ryder's hair was wet, like she just came out of the shower.. I think the characters looking a little unkempt fit with the time though, think 90's grunge.. Also, remember that this took place is Houston, Texas, which is known for being one of the most hottest and humid places in America, so its unrealistic for them to look freshly showered all day..

They both drank coffee and smoked, so its not like it was going to have any effect lol

Houston is just like any other city, just because it gets a little hotter than most doesn't mean people go around looking like bums all the time

Winona looked pretty fresh and clean to me.

No wonder she didn't get any job offers. I know it was the grunge period but I just wanted to shake her with the way she dressed at her job or at the interviews. ie. burgundy dress that looked one of her old job uniforms, a big mismatched bag, clunky shoes, no makeup, and lifeless hair. Doesn't take too much $ to buy a crisp white button shirt and a fitted skirt.

smoking doesn't give you greasy hair,so its product not grease

I always commented how they looked like they smelled during the sex scene too haha........... Her room probably always had the scent of oily hair even after she cleaned it.

Darling, you can't rape a townie......

Ugh...grunge was the de-facto look at that time. Is it really any worse than orange spray-on tans, bleached hair and silicone tits hanging out all over the place? I didn't think so.

We'll see whose the filthiest person alive! We'll just see!

lol...i always think the same thing about this movie. just nasty smells and breath, etc. ugh. it sort of ruins it.
