"The film opens with Mr. McFarland (Timothy Bottoms) driving erratically down a residential street on the way to drop off his son, John (John Robinson). John notices damage to the car and realizes that his father is drunk, so John instructs him to move to the passenger seat and let him drive. And with that, the responsibility is handed over from the parents to the kids for the rest of the movie."

Did I mention that TODDY and GUS VAN SANT used a real incident from the teenage GILL's life, in relation to his father being incapable of driving because of...let us say 'pure soda'?

I am not sure if they really were making a comment about 'gun law' and the REPUBLICAN PARTY...

As far as I know - this was about the PILE-ON at LANGLEY SENIORS as orchestrated by GILL to show the profound danger of microchipping whole schools...and what the use and abuse of RADIO ROOMS/BROOM CUPBOARDS could lead to, the effects upon a whole institution, company, street, town, city etc.

...and as far as I know this was a 'gay hero' movie...you have two anti-heroes who take on PUTIN's establishment...the RUSSIAN element...where this type of technology orginated (although they weren't fingering PUTIN, personally)...

The point here being...that it is an odd world, fighting the ill cult...as one critic was to put it about JARMAN, labelling him 'gay paedohile hero'...fighting the ill cult and winning...means that you have all sorts of bedfellows...

In fact, if I know the pair of them - they were probably advising that MARKET HARBORO' school of drug addicts to 'stop buying ill cult drugs and start buying guns' but maybe I shouldn't say that in print...
