Have you ever loved something, only to realize it’s a commercial flop or just obscure? What’s something that deserves more light than it got?

    Ah jeez, this movie is so artfully dumb, I really love it. Was never even a Tom Green fan either, don’t think I’ve watched really anything else he’s done. I’ve seen this movie an embarrassing number of times lol.

    One thing working (strongly) against it, I do think it’s one of those movies that require a few watches to really “get” the humor. I’ve struggled with how to phrase that, because the movies I find that to be true with, don’t stand out for sophistication haha.

    But it’s almost like ya gotta force yourself to chew through the surface level dumb, to appreciate the true deep well of dumb that lies just beneath the surface. Gotta let your guard down and let it in.

    I also just have a soft spot for (barely) lovable irreparable weirdos as characters. Great movie.

    We can live like kings. WE CAN LIVE LIKE KIIIIINGS

    Some parts of the movie are not for everyone, to be clear 😐 Many parts, for lots of different reasons.

      Yeah, it’s got its moments.

      But they all still work toward its overall goal of being a big fuck you to the studio that paid him to make that film.

      But the scenes that are funny are funny.

      “GORD! GORDY!”

        I didn’t realize the story, can’t be arsed to go look for a good read on it, but you should elaborate! Info is better from real humans lol. But yeah this makes a lot of sense hahaha.

        There are many scenes that make me belly laugh, or did many years ago before I overdid it like a drug. That scene you referenced, 💀 “WAP!”

        I’m gonna need to watch it again, been a long time.
