The saddest/most depressing part of this film?

Difficult to say. There are so many heart wrenching scenes in this movie that it's hard to choose just one
Well, the part where Dirk gets jumped and brutally attacked by that thug and his buddies because they thought he was gay is really upsetting.
The deaths of Little Bill and his wife and her lover by murder-suicide always gets to me and the scene is so long and drawn out
Just about every one of Rollergirl's scenes also touched me especially the classroom testing scene where she gives up on herself and walks out.

When Buck got turned down for the loan because "This financial institution can not endorse pornography," and he keeps saying, "Stop saying 'Pornography'! I'm an actorI'm an actor!"
When Dirk/Eddie's Mom is yelling at him and berating him while his Dad listens from the kitchen, seemingly helpless to step in and defend his son. -

The sequence where it edits together Dirk's beating to Roller girl attacking her former class mate. Both scenes merged together convey the horrific downside of how the characters' lifestyles, how desperate and depressing it can be.
I'd rather be hated for who I am, than loved for who I am not. -

Well, that's how they legitimize what they're doing. If they were to get paid for screwing it would amount to prostitution. So, instead they get paid for 'acting' in porn - to side-step the law. In short, it's time to legalize prostitution in the U.S.!

The saddest part was the whole shift from the '70's to the '80's: one minute they're at the the disco dancing and partying, having a great time, then as soon as the '80's start it's nothing but murders and bad things happening. It was such a deliberately drastic change, like signifying the end of the fun-loving '70's.

Agreed. The depressing montages of the characters in the 80s, does signify the end of the free wheeling party that was the 70s. AIDS was a huge wake-up call as well as the just say no to drugs movement, which essentially made doing drugs, pretty unglamorous and people were getting sick from all of the unhealthy lifestyle choices of the previous decade

I guess the beat up by a few guys scene should have bothered me but to me he did not seem that bad after.
The brain matter on the face thing was disgusting though. Yuck. Sucks 2 innocent guys had to die there, but maybe the one guy should not have pulled the gun. -

I think Little Bill's death is the saddest part and the part where the painting of him is shown with that sad music playing. Too bad he couldn't just divorce his wife and move on with his life.
DISPLAY thy breasts, my Julia!
