Never, ever gets old watching that. And every single time you're hoping that it ends differently. One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest is like that. |

Take it you've seen The Thick Of It? |
Quote:
oh hell yes! that will get another rewatch also, great with the times and if you have another say 40 titles to suggest that would be awesome :D Quote:
ah ha ha ha! "you're hoping that it ends differently." INDEED. especially cuckoo's nest. damn. that one gets me every time. |

Well if you're looking for satire I'm out. Read a piece in the Guardian a couple of weeks ago that basically said that satire is dead when it couldn't be riper for it. https://www.theguardian.com/culture/...cci-few-laughs I watched Cuckoo's Nest a month or so back and goddammit. You keep thinking "The window is open!! Just leave now, for god's sake!" then we all know how it goes. Again. |
satire does not work if the audience is too dull or too brainwashed to understand it is satire....

The Producers seems appropriate. Also The Great Dictator. |

ha! guess i'm an imbecile either way Quote:

Some suggestions for different kinds of satire ...
The Graduate American Beauty Dawn of the Dead Shampoo American Psycho This is Spinal Tap Best in Show Beyond the Valley of the Dolls South Park - increasingly so House of Cards Being There Primary Colours Veep A Clockwork Orange After Hours The Producers Wag the Dog CB4 Barton Fink LA Story Death Race 2000 |
Quote:
oh hell, that was soooo good! definitely worth a rewatch Quote:
never saw wag the dog or primary colors-- will add after hours the unusual scorsese? love it never heard of CB4 and yes to all of christopher guest never seen shampoo, will add btw came home w/ ROCKY HORROR (never seen it), JOHNNY ENGLISH and SHARKNADO (which seems to be a parody of itsef) -- also have recently seen SPRINGTIME FOR HITLER i mean THE PRODUCERS (hilarious) but i think instead i'll order BAMBOOZLED which i've managed to keep missing-- prolly not "funny" but eh |
CB4 is awesome.
|
Quote:
also added:half-baked (only seen parts) also added: beavis and butthead do america (awesome) prolly should do idiocracy as well--- ha ah ha the age of idiocracy has arrived already |
^ha! expect to kill some brain cells in the process.
CB4 is awesome and Don't Be a Menace to South Central While Drinking Your Juice is a great companion piece. I mean, all those movies call for massive amounts of pot. some can survive others can't. |
Down Periscope...best role Rob Schneider ever had.

i'm having a hard time following this rocky horror thing 100% but it has some hilarious parts |
Rocky Horror is more an event than a film. The whole audience participation thing is central to its cult status. As a film in its own right it really doesn't work at all. I suggest you simply slip into some lingerie and start talking back to the screen if you wanna get the best from it.
|
Rocky Horror is pretty meh. There are far better "so bad they're good" films. This one just happened to get the cult following.

i'll do that if there's a next time Quote:
i enjoyed the whole glam rock aeasthetic of it tim curry as marc bolan or what? plus, the biggest reason-- susan sarandon in her bra and panties in 1974-- UAU -- this isn't a bad candidate for video wallpaper at a party actually |
