just started watching and I also noticed it’s shot on film, man 2011 was such a different time. I’m not even anti-digital but it is kinda cool too see noticeable grain in a movie like this

so I’m downloading all the recent Planet of the Apes movies before I watch the new one, and I’m utterly in awe of the fact that Rise of the Planet of the Apes has a running time of only 105 minutes

like it’s impossible to imagine a major studio releasing big budget action blockbuster that’s under 2 hours these days. we need to go back…

I voted for Jill Stein in 2012 and Gloria la Riva (PSL) in 2016/2020 so assuming PSL is still on the ballot in my state I’ll vote for Claudia De la Cruz

I haven’t seen any of them except the original and the remake, neither of which are very good

but I’d say Amityville 1992: It’s About Time has the funniest title/poster combo. and of course you can’t forget Amityville 3-D

Wet Hot American Summer is probably my favorite comedy movie. no plot, just bits and they all land. you can tell everyone in the cast really gelled and had a blast making that movie, which is essential to good comedy

oh you should definitely check it out, it’s one of the best sketch comedy shows off all time

there was a lot of great alt comedy in the 90s with stuff like The State and Mr. Show. I’d argue that shows like that really paved the way for Tim & Eric (in fact, T&E got their big break thanks to Bob Odenkirk who produced Tom Goes to the Mayor)

Tim & Eric definitely brought that type of comedy more into the mainstream until it was no longer “alt” anymore. because yeah, at the time Dane Cook and Carlos Mencia were the biggest names in comedy

I read the title as something way worse at first…

but no I don’t think it’s wrong or even weird really, I don’t see why sexuality shouldn’t include all 5 senses

just don’t be like the guy from Perfume: The Story of a Murderer, that would be taking it too far
