Watched a few with my family during the holidays and I salute every single filmmaker for creating films that are laughably bad but also Some of the most original work I’ve ever seen.
Movies for fun. Some of my favorite movies are ones that could never be 'high concept' or whatever it means when you are trying to make something of greatness or idk intellectual...? Mister Lonely, Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call, all fan remakes and original Batman movies (see The Black Bat), Five-O and every thing on Tubi's "Black Independent Cinema" collection, all of Wang Po's movies, anything that isn't quite as genre as B-Movie, but someone's commitment to making the movie they knew was good. I think people call this category "post-irony" where the creator takes something which is not serious very seriously, but only because they love it. Many foreign film industries have a home for these silly ones built into their orthodox canon, Bolly/Nollywood or Taiwanese film, where it's okay to make a movie about Baby Police in a way that is Legit but also Because Movies Are Fun. But in the US no one watches comedy movies because people act like they are in comedies, rather than take the sillyness seriously. Landing jokes versus playing. Campyness rather than drama and bombastic glory. It feels so good to take pleasure in the fearlessness of many "silly" movies daring to tell stories that are neither subtle nor smarter than a good time.
These are great movies with outrageous physical comedy. They can be watched by all family members. I’ve been showing them to my 3-year-old and she laughs so much.
Don’t be that person. Mf got a banana and a Celsius, something is going down and they need to make a quick exit. You got mad vegetables anyway, let the cashier breathe a little before they struggle to remember how to ring up them green onions you copping.
Nothing better than giving someone a little squeeze to show them you got them. It’s always great when someone can sense that you need it and add a little something to the hug. Don’t settle for a dap. Get in there.
I have no context at all but I love it. Feels like I’m missing out but that’s alright it’s just good to hear somebody having a big ol belly laugh and enjoying this shit while we’re breathing.
