She makes a beeline for the store’s back room, where she shaves her head. Debra (Robin Tunney) is the Goth chick who has her wrists bandaged from last night’s suicide attempt. Marc (Ethan Embry) is a goofy kid who just wants to start a band. (Johnny Whitworth), who’s the resident artist and secretly in love with Corey. Gina (Renee Zellweger) is her best friend and the wild child. Corey (Liv Tyler) is the girl next door who’s bound for Harvard. They’re a pretty motley bunch, but they’re a tight crew, picking their morning psych-up song based on what color M&M comes out of the box first. In the meantime, Lucas’s coworkers are showing up. Lucas has a long time to wait, though, because Rex Manning is due to make a personal appearance at Empire Records. He banishes Lucas to the couch while he decides what to do. It goes without saying that Joe (Anthony LaPaglia) is ticked off when he comes into work the next day and sees an empty safe. So he does what any normal, red-blooded American kid would do: He takes the day’s earnings to an Atlantic City casino, where he loses double the amount at the craps tables. He’s busily sipping beer and smoking until he sees a notice that Martin, the store owner, is thinking of selling Empire Records to a big chain, Music City. The only part that Lucas gets right is counting the money twice. He’s been given explicit instructions to count the money twice and stay away from Joe’s cigars and beer.
Lucas (Rory Cochrane) has been chosen by his manager, Joe, to close out the previous day at Empire Records.

I mean, stink s. I don’t know if it’s because it’s dated or my Gen-Xer self is even more jaded and cynical since I graduated high school, but it’s a bad sign when a movie keeps me hitting the pause button.Įmpire Records takes place over a twenty-four hour period. Liv Tyler remains cool, but the movie stinks. Still, when it popped onto Netflix, I thought, “Why not? Liv Tyler’s cool. It wasn’t a success it really didn’t go anywhere. In 1995, the same year I graduated from high school, an ensemble film called Empire Records hit theaters. Want some background on Shamedowns? Please visit Cinema Shame here.
