i didn't know anything about this movie except for the poster so i literally thought this was a movie about rebel wilson for much longer than i'd like to admit
"could you give us some of your political beliefs?"
"kill everyone now."
seeing this in a packed theater with a very enthusiastic audience was a lot funnier than when i saw it alone on my laptop in an empty bedroom the night before moving. added to the list of movies i’ve openly cried laughing at in a movie theater (greener grass, shrek)
one of the most insane/hilarious/repulsive/inspiring/striking things anyone’s ever made
“the couch, it rejected you!”
When I started working at Blockbuster in high school a guy had just gotten fired for playing this while customers were in the store which is exactly the kind of legacy I know John Waters wants to leave behind
To all my poor friends from school: I'm sorry I made you learn dialogue from this film and dress up like its characters.
CW: rape, misogyny, homophobia, transphobia, ableism, shit/vomit
This movie is, by my usual standards, indefensible.
There is a rape played for laughs. This speaks for itself as inexcusable, but let me make it clear that making light of rape contributes to the systemic misogyny that makes rape such a common occurrence, so misunderstood (in that consent is misunderstood and boundaries are constantly crossed), and so destructive. In the same scene, a chicken is killed (actually killed), and was apparently eaten by the cast afterward, which is at the very least unhygienic. It's definitely also animal cruelty. This, too, is played for laughs.
Rape and sexual assault are also used repeatedly for shock value and humor throughout the film. The treatment…
this weekend john waters told me that they cooked the chicken and ate it after that scene. highlight of my life.
also the incest scene is the funniest, most insane thing ever filmed.
This is the weirdest movie Iv probably ever seen, along with Ratatouille. A chef rat? That shit wild too
83/100
"Oh my God Almighty! Someone has sent me a bowel movement!"
You should've heard me laugh during this. It was like a hyena broke into my house.
