Why they picked the kids they did.


Granted, I appreciate that they made this movie but come on, I could think of 100 other cooler GPK cards that should have been used. Greaser Greg and Valorie Vomit were good choices but the others needed to go. Not only should they have picked others but there should have been more than just 7. :/

I've always wondered how Tommy Ache, Potty Scotty, and Ray Decay would've appeared on screen.

I'm sure that what they could achieve with the budget/technology they had available played as big a role in the choices as who would work best for the story.

I think Tee-Vee Stevie/Geeky Gary would've been a cool visual. And New Wave Dave/Graffiti Petey would've fit in perfectly with the look of Tangerine and her friends. And of course, I'm not sure how you do a GPK movie without its mascot, Adam Bomb.

I would have loved to have seen Double Heather - probably couldn't make it work as a costume for a single-headed actor, though lol
