They can't all be winners...
I watched Meet the Feebles. It's is a serious contender for the worst film I've EVER seen in my life.
If it weren't for the "passage to India" joke that made me laugh out loud, I wouldn't have found a single second of the movie amusing.
Except for Arthur the worm, I hated every character. Even the ones you were supposed to care about.
The best part of the movie, SPOILER ALERT, is when almost every single one of them was murdered.
Fuck the Feebles.

Imagine the hypocrisy of a government who will allow businesses to card people to get a job or buy groceries, but won't card people to vote in elections and gives millions of non-citizens free money from taxpayers.

Yeah. I don't know what it was dude. I liked the Muppets growing up, but not so much that I found this take on them offensive or anything. I'm definitely no puritan, so even though watching the movie makes you feel like you need to take a shower, that's not grounds for the hate. I like a lot of oddball stuff. This seems on the surface to be something that I would have really enjoyed.
I don't know why I hated it so much.
So you're in the "loved it" camp then?
If I had something nice to say about it, it would be the puppets were all made well and the puppetry was good work.
And somehow, I liked Arthur the worm.

Having a hard time getting Amélie for some reason. I find this kind of strange since out of all of these French/German flicks I've been watching recently, Amélie was the only one I'd ever heard of before through other pop culture at the time. I specifically remember it being part of the plot in an episode of Home Movies in the early 2000s.
Got myself a list of so-called "Hidden Gem" 80's/90's low budget sci-fi on queue that I might start going through in the meantime.
The only one on that list I had seen was Crossworlds, and 20-something me enjoyed that flick. I'm not going into these expecting much, but they might be interesting.

Have you seen Be Kind Rewind? Not the criteria for low-budget, but it has that vibe.
Wonderful cast. Funny scenes.

I never even heard of it before, but I just looked it up.
That sounds up my ally. It's on the list. Thanks.

Be Kind Rewind was a no effort get for me, and a nice way to wrap up the day.
It won't be going on any of my top lists or anything, and I could find a ton of criticisms of how it was done from the implausibility of how the tapes got erased in the first place to the fact that it was hinted there would be a happy ending to the story, but I won't do that since none of this movie was operating with any pretense of reality.
It was just a fun movie, and sometimes it's nice to just shut the brain off and just enjoy something for what it is. The actors made the characters really enjoyable to watch. When the credits start rolling, it makes you wish we lived in a world where that particular happy ending could actually take place.
Thanks for the recommendation.

Have you seen Blindside? Did you recognize the Michael Oher actor?
I always like Melodie Diaz, everything I've seen her in.

Blindside from 1987? I don't think so.
By the Michael Oher actor do you mean the one they all thought chose the Lion King?
I don't think I've seen Melonie Diaz in anything else.
Yeah. They were all good.
Interesting that Yasiin Bey doesn't go by Mos Def anymore. Or at least that's what his IMDB entry on BKR would lead you to believe. Never knew his real name before today.

Quote:Blindside. With Sandra Bullock, Tim McGraw, Lily Collins, Ray McKinnon, Kim Dickens, Kathy Bates, based on a real story. It was a really good film, so you probably didn't see it.
