Well said Lone Audience. I've often thought the traditional "so bad it's good" is entirely the wrong way to put it. It's the quality of badness that counts, not the quantity. Ultimately what makes a bad movie good is fairly similar to what makes a good movie good.
Wizards
I loved Ralph Bakshi's Wizards as a kid. Needless to say I didn't get much of it. I just thought it was a bunch of hilarious non-sequiters with fucking wizards and elves and shit. What more could a kid want? It's also a good case of "why did my parents let me watch that?". Somehow Elinor's huge breasts and…
Bit worried on this one.
I like Mottola, Pegg, and Frost's previous output, but a lot of the interview with Pegg and Frost seemed like they were rationalizing the terrible compromises the studio put on them.
God damn. If that's not Biastioc, it's a damn good imitator.
Ugh indeed. Ridiculous and self-serious are a deadly combo. In any other medium that story would be rightly mocked, yet game reviewers are holding it up as a maturing of the medium. What it really proves is the immaturity of videogame criticism. If Heavy Rain is the future of the medium and Bayonetta is the…
Considering what gun is usually a metaphor for, I'd like to hear Biastioc's opinion on this topic.
It's nice to see Scott Pilgrim on here. It has it's flaws, but what it does right it does so right that it's better than many a flawless film. Still it's inclusion doesn't make up for the snubbing in 2007 of Hot Fuzz, which is a flawless film that does so much right that it's better than nearly any film ever.
That's a legitimate argument, but it's not what Adams was saying. He was arguing that the movie tries to be shocking and fails due to changing standards. But the RHPS brand of camp is about goofing on the whole concept of "shocking" rather than a legitimate attempt to shock.
Is it even supposed to be shocking? The portrayal of the world of Frankenfurter has always struck me as essentially as innocent in its way as that of Brad and Janet. It's a silly campy goof on "shocking" content, rather than an earnest attempt at shocking.
Watching the preview for this, my brother suggested that it would be better if it were a drag club and Christina Aguilera just didn't get it. "Seriously, you're just not what we're looking for."
Shalimar the Clown is not a great place to start. It has all the hallmarks of Rushdie, but it's missing the spark. Conventional wisdom has it right; Midnight's Children is his masterpiece. The Satanic Versus is mighty fine as well. I'd go with one of those two.
Oh man, I've seen bits of that thing. I knew it was a Serbian film, but I had no idea that it was called A Serbian Film. It confirmed my prejudice against Serbians. It's truly vile.
Ever read Chretien de Troyes's Knight of the Cart? That's some hilarious shit, though you probably couldn't call its Lancelot an anti-hero.
I caught this at the US premiere at Sundance. It was there that I learned the power of a homemade t-shirt. Sporting our Devotees of Chow shirts, my friends and I became the unofficial spokesmen of the audience. It was the highlight of my short career as a fan boy.
This series made me want to cry out a second self of tears, so I could have someone to hug.
I wasn't too impressed by the first couple, but by the end of the series I was prepared to call it the greatest literary achievement of the generation.
If I remember correctly it was his mother's favorite movie, whereas he found its racial politics cringe inducing.
In general, I agree more than I'd like to admit, but Sturges is nothing if not watchable. I'd watch any of the nine comedies listed in the primer before pretty much any other film.
I disagree. The changing balance of sympathy and disgust is what the show is all about. If it had stayed the same throughout the series, the show would have stagnated, and just become about the plot machinations, who gets whacked next. The disgust eventually overwhelming all sympathy was the right direction to take…
