Okay, I just saw Art School Confidential, and it...→[More:]is easily one of the worst movies ever made. I thought this movie was boring, stupid, horrifically scripted, and utterly a waste of my time.
Most of the people I know who went to art school were boring stupid, horrifically scripted, and utterly a waste of my time. So, I'm not surprised.
Last night we watched "Accepted," that movie about a bunch of losers who start their own fake college. It was a very dumb movie, but it made us giggle more than we expected.
Jackass 2 BRILLIANT and funny for many values of puerile and poopy humor, good times had by me and the wife for sure. Art School Confidential deeply ungood, terrible, stinky, ass-like and two hours too long. AN UNMASTERPIECE, A STINKBOMB, A BULLSHIT DI TUTTI BULLSHITS. fuck that movie.
Beeps - I KNOW! Bad Santa was HILARIOUS. Ghost World and Crumb were excellent movies. This, though, this no one should see unless you're making them watch it to extort something from them.
Note to Future Filmmakers of America: you are not being edgy when you populate an entire movie with not a single character with any redeeming qualities. You are killing the arc, the plot, and 20 dollars and 2 hours of America's time.
2nd note: Having a set piece that focuses for 2 minutes of screen time on how tightly a young woman is being strangled by a thick piece of rope, in a flim that is being billed as a comedy, is a sure sign of deep hatred and is horrific to watch.
