REALITY STILL BITES

In early 1994, the movie "Reality Bites" starring Winona Ryder, Ethan Hawk, and Ben Affleck (in his directorial debut) was showing in movie theaters. The movie dealt with issues faced by young adults who were just graduating from college at the time. These included disenfranchisement, poor employment opportunity, promiscuity, the struggle to deal with one's sexuality, and non sensible love. Any of these issues seem familiar today? The movie became the embodiment of Generation X and launched Lisa Loeb's music career.
