@NearerAndFarther Saw them play in about 1997 at the Middle East in Cambridge MA. Will never forget those outfits. I have a couple of CDs of theirs that I haven't listened to in 25 years

"From how other characters respond to Gordon, to how romantic and family comedy tropes are skinned alive, as opposed to being simply mocked, Freddy Got Fingered is the kind of movie cinephiles wish more American filmmakers would do." #film #subversive #comedy #grossout #filmtalk #criticism

That doesn’t mean you have to like it, admire its all-or-nothing approach to burning Hollywood to the ground in its own small way, or even find humor in such scenes as Gordon delivering against her will a woman’s baby in the most horrifying way imaginable.
@auzzy certainly there's value in this kind of evaluation. I just get tired of letterboxd entries that rely entirely on finding fault, conflate "derivative" with lesser, and honestly, the sentiment of "it's a bad movie, but I love it" - as if appealing to some (necessarily vague) ideal of cinematic perfection is the goal, or outdoing what's come before, rather than understanding that art is an attempt to communicate as well as entertain. I'm in it for the conversations.
Popular film discourse is poisoned by the urge to evaluate and compare, instead of watching. I don't want to know if you think "the acting is terrible", I want to know how the movie made you feel! #film #criticism #movies
