SLC Punk!	comment	SLC Punk! is a 1998 dramedy written and directed by James Merendino and starring Matthew Lillard.The plot focuses on Stevo (Lillard), a gifted college graduate in Salt Lake City, Utah, who has recently bought wholeheartedly into the anti-establishment punk lifestyle. He spends his days partying and fighting alongside a motley assortment of local SLC punks, all the while providing a spirited intellectual defense of his philosophy. However, the contradictory and unsustainable punk lifestyle gradually begins to wear on him, and he faces a crisis in the direction his young life will take.

This scene marks the end of Stevo's life as a punk.

SLC Punk! / int_66dfe36a	comment	By the end of the movie it seems Bob has had one as well, since it's gradually revealed that his father was insane and constantly drunk, causing Bob to often run from home, his mother's never even mentioned and he was considered a loser at school. He actually became a punk mostly because he was tired of not having a happy carefree life, like the "cool kids" did, and just wanted to enjoy himself.
