here's an idea that i had in conversations that took place after i posted that blog about all the gang/mafia movies i have seen.
INDIE/CULT MOVIES THAT SUCK EVEN THOUGH PEOPLE EVERYWHERE STILL LOVE THEM.
warning-this post might upset you.
1) rocky horror picture show- this movie has nothing to it. i think people just like it because of the whole event when you go to see it live. when i was 13, my friend wanted to see it ecause the cover looked really frightening and he thought it was a "horror" movie about transexuals- which we confused with trisexuals (i don't even know if that's a real word but in 7th and 8th grade, we tought it was someone who had sex with men, women, and barnyard animals).
but the storyline, the acting, the effects, and everything else about this movie all suck. it isn't even good to watch for the cheese factor. rocky horror grunts through the whole movie then gets up and sings a song. and those loud, blue socks that columbia wears are just out of control.
-this is all aside from the fact that i can't stand musicals.
2) harold and maude- some rich kid's mom wants him to marry these debutants and instead he falls for some senile, old, broad. it's gross, it's weird, people like it because it's a love story for a kid who never fit in. but i learned that there's a place for everyone who doesn't fit in after watching "rudolph and the island of misfit toys," followed by "merry christmas charlie brown" for 10 straight years in a row when i was a kid.
3)romper stomper- less and less amusing every time i watch it. the first time it was a good movie, but it gets old after the second time. the only good part is when all those asian guys from the factory pour into the skinhead club by the busload and just start brutalizing all those nazis.
4) rock n roll high school- the only thing good about it is that the ramones are in it.
5) heathers- not that great and i had an ex that made me watch it three times...well, she would get so excited about this movie that she would convince herself that everyone else wanted to watch it as much as she did. so she would put it on. what was her damage?
6)igby goes down- boring, the characters are annoying (especially that model girl who can only act like she's on heroin), and they ripped off the story from the catcher in the rye.
7)rushmore- i couldn't follow this.
8) KIDS
9)GUMMO- this director is from one of the richest towns in connecticut. i mean, filthy, fucking, stinky rich, old money areas just outside of new york city. i'm white trash. that's how i grew up. apparently he lives in some small town in west virginia now so he can be like this. KIDS and GUMMO are atheresult of an overabundance of wealth among america's elite class. you get these people who have a son and he isn't good at anyting, so they send him to art school where he studies film. when school is over, he has to do something with his life so he produces indie films. by all rhyme and reason- the films should not have been as big as they were.... but he's independantly wealthy and knows the right people, so they get out there and get a cult following of young people who just like to watch weird and disturbing movies. if you want to see something disturbing, i can make a movie of old people in a nursing home getting their diapers changed or something like that.
gummo is just a shitty movie about this directors fetish with poor and working class whites. he sees us as being decadent, filthy, and creepy, and he thinks that's so cool. some truckers should stomp this rich kid and send his trust fund ass back to the suburbs. his movies are boring and they don't go anywhere. it's just one gross and disturbing scene after the next.
that's all i can think of right now, but i'm sure there's more....
