The Living End [Remixed and Remastered]

It my be easy to describe The Living End as a gay Thelma and Louise, but that seems to be what director Gregg Araki was aiming for. Luke (Mike Dyti) is a hustler and Jon (Craig Gilmore) is a movie critic. They meet on the highway, or, as Araki puts it in the script, "the desolate, quasi-surrealistic American Wasteland." Both have recently learned that they are HIV-positive, so they do the only reasonable thing and go on a violent cross-country spree. Guided by the inspirational slogan "F*ck the world," our heroes kill gay bashers, insult lesbians, and do a lot of drinking, swearing, and urinating.
