LONG DUK DONG

farrelly bros seem kind of too tasteful for that. maybe it was wachowski bros?

look, criticise the present day Farrellys all you want but their initial three film run rivals any in the 90s.

farrellys definitely on the progressive axis of grossout humor (versus say weirdly conservative christian producers of american pie)

Kevin Smith having Randall's face get splattered with a gallon of diarrhea was pretty progressive too

I don't think I'd sit through any Farrelly film from the 90s as an adult! Maybe Kingpin, but they only directed and did not write that one.

Kingpin is amazing

yeah <3 kingpin. i was unaware they had not written it. i guess that makes sense

Bill Murray's character in that movie was so incredible. Only Nic Cage himself could have done it better

no he couldn't

they didn't write it? kingpin seems sentimental enough to be them.

Anyone who hates Kingpin hates life.

have to rep for dumb and dumber tho

i've noticed people kind of repping for Kingpin as the "underrated" one in the early Farrelly's canon but Dumb and Dumber is a modern classic

yeah but everyone thinks that, while Kingpin still feels kinda underground

kingpin snuck under the radar a little and is more adult in humour, maybe, but agree

ilx y'all on a serious racism binge at the moment

?
kingpin's way less racist than some other bill murray movies about sad, broken people.

*barfs up racism*

racist, not funny, but the racism isn't why it's "not funny"

^^ this

also "the party" is such worthless druggy slogging crap that the racism is just one of its many awful parts

<3 kingpin <3

lemme save potential the party viewers some time - peter sellers in bad makeup, someone sings a song, flower children and hanger ons fall in a pool while a painted elephant runs around FOREVER

sounds fucking rad

Hall Pass was so boring. Their new movies are all so fucking boring.

The Dumb and Dumber sequel is gonna be so terrible :(

never forgave kingpin the hoars feet

The Dumb and Dumber sequel is gonna be so terrible :(

Another one? The prequel was so awful too.

yeah, the Farrelys, Daniels and Carrey are doing it though

Yeah just read up on it via wiki. Not too promising to see the scriptwriters are also churning out latter day Adam Sandler scripts.

Scratch that. Directing latter day Sandler films.

Like many itt, I'm shamefully weirded by my blithe, teenage enjoyment of the Donger and his devotion to his new-style American girlfriend. I remember being called on the glaring racism a few years later when professing my Hughes-love to a more politically astute college acquaintance and struggling to justify it as "ironic" or some such bullshit. For an era so devoted to subversive faux-naiveté, the 80s were awful goddam naive.

Bill Murray's character in that movie was so incredible. Only Nic Cage himself could have done it better

Nothing Bill Murray has ever done could ever be done better by anyone, ever.

not to mitigate anyone's shame, but the donger's 80s naive exceptionalism is still better than, say, star trek voyager's 00s condescending tokenism. i guess what i'm saying is to think about rebalancing your shame portfolio. i don't know if anyone ever enjoyed star trek voyager, though.

Really loving the "I can't be racist, I'm gay!" argument being posited here.

next up: the jive talkers in "airplane!"

on point imo.

hooooly shit

I feel like I'm spoiled by my group of friends and immediate family because when anything resembling any of that comes out of a coworker or acquaintance's mouth I almost blurt out "WHAT THE FUCK"

Ha, I just added The Party to my Ziplist. The discussion made me intrigued to watch it again. I think I was 10 the last time I saw it and I did think it was funny. I've also been going through a weird phase of thinking that my Dad might have occasionally got something right.

going to watch the breakfast club right now for the first time

their high school is so nice

Iiiii KNOOOOW! I've always been fascinated by high schools that have more than one story, for one thing. Two floors!!

what! mine had several.

so is the whole movie just twelve angry teens?

yes but tbf there is also a janitor

Pretty much. Its all set in almost-real-time, too.

My high school's library kind of looked like the one in this film, with the mezzanine bit.

my high school was one story, spread out, lots of open space, basically every school in my city was like that. on a certain level I felt like I wasn't getting the 'hs experience' cause my school didn't look like a large multistory brick building etc. etc.

some people I know went to high schools that had multiple buildings

You mean multiple campuses? Mulitple bldgs doesnt seem that unusual. Ours was like that - mind you most of those were crappy temporary huts not far removed from shipping containers (very shitty old school, library aside)
