Trailer for the independent film SUGAR, based on the zines by Bruce LaBruce and starring Brendan Fehr and the late Andre Noble. featuring Sarah Polley, the late Maury Chaykin, Michael Riley, and Marnie McPhail. Directed by John Palmer.
The 2004 Sugar Bowl featured Heisman-winning QB Jason White and the #1 Oklahoma Sooners (12-1) and the #2 Louisiana State Tigers (12-1). The game was filled to the brim with controversy, however, as #1 Oklahoma had gotten into the game despite having lost 35-7 to Kansas State in the Big 12 Championship Game. Many felt that #3 Southern California (who were ranked #1 in both the AP and Coaches Poll) should have been in the game playing LSU. Despite the controversy, however, Oklahoma was a touchdown favorite over LSU. RB Justin Vincent, LSU, was the game's MVP.
A popular high school cheerleader becomes pregnant with the star quarterback's child, only to find herself turning to crime to support the lifestyle she wants to live.

Sugar makes me happy , so I cannot see
Every single moran throwing dirt on me
I´ll change all these clothes and loose my head
There´s sugar waiting in my bed
I´m looking little blue , but turning red
So focus on the face , it´s not alive
But just a secret gesture-hive
Hand in hand with a little girl I´ll waste her day
The naughty world made a modest man out of me anyway
Steel all I have , I don´t care at all:
Efficient way to smash the doll
And nothing´s worse than climbing on the wall
So if you really want me , here I am:
Your own goddamn superman
I´m worried , I´m breathtakingly sorry
For steeling your sensational glory
I need your face , your head
Good night , they´re the sugar of my bed
Sugar makes me happy , so I wrapped it up
In Supersonic thought I mean , I blew the top
Change all your friends for a day in bed
The other part of you´ll be red
