Obviously there’s lots of weird trash in the direct to VHS/DVD/streaming ecosystems, but when it comes to something that actually got a first run theater release, what is your strangest?
For me, it’s Southland Tales. I actually kind of love this movie but it’s difficult to recommend because people you recommend it to might not look at you the same afterwards. The cast is positively stacked with big names, the movie looks great, and there’s a fantastic and really sad musical number half way through. This is the only movie that has truly captured the vibe of reading the biblical book of Revelation in that it’s making you go “wait, what?” every five minutes as it spirals into either intensely meaningful imagery or schizophrenia manifest on 35mm.
Splice. It was a surprise screening, we didn’t know what movie we were watching and none knew about it before hand.
At some point when they hybrid starts seducing the main character the girl beside me as just “what the fuck is going on with this movie??”
As a movie I don’t revving l recommend, but the experience was great.
I loved that movie. I gather there aren’t many of us.
What does this mean?
Kinda the same, 2/3 the way through I’m just like “so he wants to fuck it? The hell?”
Movie then fell apart…
