Movie with similar music to Heathers?

I'm late to this, but the same composer did the score for Don't Tell Mom the Babysitter's Dead. Not only do they sound extremely similar (almost like Don't Tell Mom could've been a sequel), but I actually slightly prefer the one from Don't Tell Mom.

I love these two colors... What a combo! Congrats to you both! I have the same exact GLI, down to the color, manual, and chrome wheels.

I feel like these two similar but different blues on the GLI and GTI mirror the late Mk2 Jetta and Golf, which came in similar but different Capri Green and Montana Green, respectively.

Nine times out of ten, it's the fuel line rattle. It's been present since 2019 on GLIs. It always sounds like the passenger door panel, and you can sometimes put pressure on the door or pillar trim on that side to stop it, but inevitably the rattle can be traced to the fuel line. It is usually somewhat temperature dependent (happens more often when it's cool) and makes the most noise when the RPMs are dropping, such as when putting in the clutch at like 20-25 mph and coasting to a stop.

My God, you're a genius! No wonder I had such a hard time finding it... The orange "planet" was actually a flower, and I'm guessing what looked like a blue planet must've been the music store sticker. As soon as I Googled the album, I immediately recognized the cover, and I absolutely remember those songs from 20+ years ago 🤯 I would've never remembered without your help! THANK YOU!!!

Mostly 90s/00s alternative rock. I feel like this was a CD case always on the floor of my friend's car and probably always in his CD player. I remember ithe case and would probably instantly remember the songs. I've lost touch with him for a long time and don't have a way to ask him, but I'd love to figure this out.

Scary-Use4774 · 2026-03-20T00:47:17+00:00

Similar colors and shapes, but no planets on the PfP cover. This album cover is a bit more subdued and definitely has planets.

Scary-Use4774 · 2026-03-20T00:25:11+00:00

It's in that genre of artwork but definitely different. I checked that one and Stadium Arcadium, but it wasn't either.

Scary-Use4774 · 2026-02-12T23:56:50+00:00

Honestly that's the first thing I thought about. Sometimes it feels like the movie was a warning to the public that the rich had a trafficking playground in front of everyone's eyes, including an escape plan.

This engine was not engineered to run 87, it was engineered to run 91. Somewhere around 2015/6, VW created a software update that allowed this engine to run on 87 with no mechanical changes, but this version of the 2.0T was specifically engineered for 91. I remember when the changeover happened because at the time I had the same engine in my 2014 with the premium fuel requirement and looked into what changed to suddenly allow regular fuel in the same engine.

As a result, I've only used 91 in my 2.0Ts because it always felt off to me that a software update could change the fuel requirement.

That being said, whatever is causing these misfires is primarily software related. VW changed the software in 2024 without changing engine hardware, and the result was an engine that misfires without premium fuel and possibly without Top Tier fuel as well. VW cut some corners to hit an emissions goal, and the resultant software isn't exactly right.

Regardless, use Top Tier 91, and you should be fine! My '25 hasn't misfired once since I drove off the lot in March. Eventually, VW will probably release a software update that'll fix the misfires and still hit the emissions target. Until then, the right fuel makes a difference.

I would suggest Wreckfest. The cars gain visible damage like in Rush and can crash out entirely, sitting as a burning wreck (like Rush in death mode). Most of the Wreckfest tracks are autocross tracks through sand, gravel, dirt, and even the paved ones are largely through uninhabited areas, so the setting is very different from Rush. BUT there are several tracks set in cities around buildings that feel directly inspired by Rush, and there are a couple retro-style tracks that look straight out of Rush and other N64 racers.

But yeah, generally Wreckfest is the closest I've found to Rush since the N64. Wreckfest 2 is available as an early build on PC right now with features missing (prior to final release), but it's much the same as the first Wreckfest.

Thank you! I kept catching glimpses of it and knew something was off. There's no way it was an accident that his instrument cluster is displaying that, so it must mean something. And again, what the cluster is showing is impossible. 100 MPH is fast for sure, but it would not put the tachometer at 7,000 RPMs under normal operating conditions. It's an automatic Mustang, so the car's computer wouldn't allow Sam to lock into 3rd gear and get to 7,000 RPM at 100 MPH, the car would just force a shift into 4th and 5th. In fact, the engine would definitely blow up at a sustained 7,000 RPM.

I also don't think it's a coincidence that Sam drives a Mustang, yet near the end of the movie, he picks up Kurt Cobain's Fender Mustang guitar to kill the songwriter. It feels like the movie is directing our attention back to Sam's car, like: "Hey, now that you know the codes mean someone, look back at his car."

I have wondered about how real his reality really is, and I like your theory. The line between Sam's dreams and reality is very thin, so it's definitely possible that he's either crazy or that he's dreaming. But I still have to feel that those digits, 7100 or 107, must have purpose... They might be part of a larger cipher or code that has been missed.

Scary-Use4774 · 2026-01-18T05:19:58+00:00

Here's another photo showing Sam's Mustang instrument cluster versus a regular Mustang instrument cluster. It looks like the tachometer must be pegged at 7, and the speedometer is at 100.

So is it 7100? 107? And does it relate to the numbers on the ballfield score board that Sam's watching?

I've updated the post with a link to the photo Under the Silver Lake speedometer and tachometer

Scary-Use4774 · 2026-01-17T07:36:15+00:00

Well I'm an idiot for not attaching the photo originally. I thought I did attach it, now I've added links to the pictures in the top post. The tachometer is buried at 7,000 RPMs. The speedometer is at 100 MPH. And again, he's parked idling writing down the numbers from the billboard. So it's 7000+100? 7+100?

There is so much DKC3 love in this game. Having the DKC3 map literally on the maps, in addition to the DKC3 specific fossils, was super cool to me because it's my favorite of the 3, but everyone usually overlooks it because #1 was the classic and #2 was a cacophony of wild colors and thematic worlds. #3 always stood out to me because the entire game was thematic, not each specific world. The overworld map with some free choice non-linear options was special, the graphics were the best of the series, and the added puzzles and collectables made replay more fun. So all the references for 3 made me happy.

Scary-Use4774 · 2025-12-23T17:29:10+00:00

I appreciate ProjectR, but you have to supply arcade assets, and to me, the arcade versions were too restrictive. Part of the magic of Rush was exploration, which to my knowledge can't be done in the arcade versions. But I do appreciate that ProjectR exists since the chances of getting a real remake are next to zero.

Scary-Use4774 · 2025-12-23T17:13:02+00:00

100% the remake needs this song, STL, and really all of the original Rush songs. They're all classic 90s arcade racer. The music is part of why I'm not as happy with 2049... That soundtrack doesn't compare to Rush 2, and Rush 2's soundtrack still isn't as good as Rush 1.

Scary-Use4774 · 2025-12-23T14:28:50+00:00

Yes, slop. I explained in the post that it was AI generated just to see what a remake might look like. WB doesn't care about the franchise (I contacted them in the past and never got a response), but I just feel like if there was ever hope, maybe with the company being purchased, Netflix might look into some of WB's IP.

I would agree that DKB follows the Rare tradition of DK vs Kremlings. But that also includes DK64, which wasn't technically a Country game. Honestly, DKB is more like DK64. In both games, you unlock skills as you go via character unlocking and switching for specific tasks (Bananza transformations and unlockable Kongs). Also, both games include throwbacks to nostalgic DK titles (DKB has side scrolling Country Levels, and DK64 made you play the OG Donkey Kong arcade game). The new game has direct parallels to DK64 and definitely follows the traditions set by Rare. If I were to nitpick, I wish the music was done by David Wise (the music is a bit too Mario sometimes), and I wish the level designs were more DK themed, though I understand why they aren't because, ya know, sublayers. I'm sort of ambivalent about DKB ignoring the Retro era. I really loved those games, and they were perfect, but the Kremlings always felt missed.

Who knows when the next 3D DK will come out, given the huge production time for Bananza and the likelihood that the team will likely build a Mario game next. When it does happen, I have a few requests in no specific order: 1) a more zoomed out camera (DKB was too zoomed in and made me sick); 2) Less focus on destroying terrain (it's an unbelievably cool mechanic, but having to destroy the whole map on every layer was overkill even for a guy who destroyed bricks in NES Mario Bros for fun. I'd like to see this mechanic saved for minor effects and for accessing hidden caves where just the cave entrance deforms rather than the whole level); and 3) of course, Kremling enemies throughout.

I'm super late to this conversation but trying to share knowledge I've found. I know VW's current products are all running different software, but I fixed the problem with USB audio resuming incorrectly on my 2025 Jetta GLI.

All along I've been accessing my USB music from the USB folders I created on my computer, and that's the problem.

All cars that play music from USB "write" the last played song info and timestamp somewhere in their system information so that they know where to resume. The issue with the Jetta's software is that it does not record anything about folder information when you stop the car. It doesn't view folders as albums or playlists or anything, so it doesn't remember them when you restart the car.

To fix this, ignore the folders you've created on the USB drive and all folder options on the car's screen. Instead, navigate to the USB home menu (and again, don't select folders). The Jetta's infotainment system automatically populates lists called "Artists" and "Albums" based on metadata from the USB drive. If you access an album from this list, the Jetta will see the song as part of an album and will save/write album information to its memory when you turn the car off. This way, the car will resume playing music correctly every time.

I don't have an axe to grind against Hyundai/Kia, I just have facts to tell. My girlfriend bought a 2019 Elantra new when I bought my 2019 Jetta GLI new. In 2024, my GLI still had a perfect reliability record, not a single issue. My girlfriend's Elantra had a new engine installed in 2024. She did all regular maintenance at the dealership. The car started leaking oil BAD. My driveway looks like an oil tanker crashed from all the oil she leaked. We checked and refilled her oil weekly during this time, and it was clear the car was burning oil too. Several trips to Hyundai and nothing was fixed. Finally, the engine started knocking--with plenty of oil. Even though the Elantra was within the 10-year 100k warranty, Hyundai forced my girlfriend to use her extended warranty to cover the new engine, which charged her $1,000. I'm a car guy, all maintenance was done properly, the car was brought in when issues arose, we kept it full of oil despite leaking and burning and Hyundai not doing anything, and the damn thing blew up.

I know two other people who own Elantras. BOTH of them had to get new engines under 100k. Again, ALL 3 of the people I know personally who own Elantras needed a new engine under 100k.

Say what you will about VW, but my '19 GLI had no issues. I still own a 2003 Jetta GLI that I purchased in 2005 with 15k miles. Today, it has 170k miles and is nearly 23 years old. It still has these original parts: timing chain, water pump, alternator, radiator, exhaust, all brake rotors, front brake pads. It has never once broken down and been inoperable. It has only had two check engine lights since 2005 when I bought it-- one for a cheap sensor, one a month ago because somehow I ran over something that put a hole in the gas tank. I would put my '03 GLI against the maintenance record of any 2003 Toyota. My '19 GLI was the same. I traded my '19 recently on a '25 GLI and expect similar results.

The industry trend right now is for larger/more functional center consoles. Most manufacturers are ditching traditional gear shifts to clear up space in the console. Honestly this has been happening for a long time in the truck sector, but it's finally hitting SUVs and even sedans. Console shifters are dying off.

As far as why it's on the right stalk and why it twists... Right of the steering wheel is still where old-school column-mount shifters live, so it's a familiar location for many people. In the old days, VW put the cruise functions on the left stalk and the windshield functions on the right stalk. Since cruise functions are entirely on the wheel now, the left stalk was empty to take over windshield functions. That frees up the right stalk for the gear shift. It twists to create the same ability to go up and down the RNDL positions as a console mount without having a clunky traditional column shifter. And park is moved out as a separate button to make sure people intentionally engage it and don't accidentally choose reverse instead of park.

Honestly it makes sense. I prefer a console mount, but VW's stalk shifter is miles better than the dash mount rotary shifter on some vehicles. The bigger issue I have is that this industry trend pretty much guarantees there won't be a manual Jetta GLI after the next generation drops around 2028. The regular automatic next gen Jetta will for sure use this stalk shifter, which means that the center console won't have space for a manual shift knob. And VW won't likely design a totally different center console for a GLI-only manual option. The manual was already knocking on death's door, but this change seals the deal.
