The Butter Cream Gang memorable quotes: "The widow Jenkins fell down again!" "You got the wrong guy!" and "You got the right on baby... uh huh!"

Junebug. I've only seen it once, and I went into the theater knowing nothing other than that Stanley Kauffmann liked it. I still think about it all the time. I'm sure if I saw it again I would see a bunch of flaws in it so I've avoided seeing it again.

Bad Boys 2. I went into this one cold too. I didn't know who Michael Bay was. It felt like getting punched in the back of the head. In the last couple of years I've noticed that it's often cited as the ultimate in aggressively terrible movies (Hot Fuzz, How Did This Get Made, etc), so I take some comfort in that.

I have to admit at first I thought you were calling Hot Fuzz terrible. And then I regained my reading comprehension and put down my gun that shoots bullets through the internet.

Poor, misguided Pete. Going to the big city, joining the Blades, becoming a street tough, and stealing treats from the general store.

It's a shame the sequel isn't nearly as great!

Police Academy 2, especially Mahoney's Jughead/Fudpuckers bit and nearly everything that Bobcat Goldthwait said.
I would like to hear your thoughts on Howard Hesseman's Captain Peter Lassard and his place in the Police Academy Universe.
This may be the year I will disappear.

After re-reading my post, it comes off way too violent and aggro. I can assure you, I am no Joe Rogan.

Of course not, Joe Rogan doesn't use bullets.

Given short shrift!  Smacked in the face with a shrimp.  Went along with a very bad idea for a street fair.  Concerned, but powerless.  Overwhelmed by a gang of graffiti artists.  Written out of all the sequels.


Of course, the big and completely unaddressed question: why was his brother British?



Howard Hesseman has to look at Michael McKean's career and say, "why not me?"
I really don't appreciate your sarcastic, anti-comedy tone, Bro!

I don't know if TV movies count but I Know My Name Is Steven haunts me to this day. That movie's a party hit among some of my friends and is frequently reenacted. I watch it anytime it pops up on Lifetime Movie Network.

My girlfriend was traumatized by Sybil as a highschooler.

She still thinks it's creepy.

I think it's no Cake Secret.

"SICK: The Life & Death of Bob Flanagan, Supermasochist", the only movie where I have heard the audience scream in actual horror...

If the video shown behind the band during a 1980's Butthole Surfers show counts I'll throw that in as well. They actually managed to drive about half the audience out of the venue...

After Gibby gave up squirting lighter fluid at the crowd and trying to set shit on fire the started showing a series of movies behind them. The  visuals started out kinda goofy with cartoons and altered footage of Tanya Roberts running in a scene from her stint on "Charlie's Angels" contibued on to innocuous footage of bugs eating each other and then nuclear testing footage.  We then go to some graphic footage of car accidents and mangled people, bodies without heads, heads in search of the bodies they once occupied. Kinda like the original cover to Big Black's "Headache" e.p.. Near the end of the show the screens behind them went dark red for about five minutes. A camera pulled back revealing the red to be a blood soaked... cotton or something. Eventually the footage became a man, his cock in close-up, with the skin being pulled back, pulled forward, pulled back again and various muscles being sewn together. Once the skin started being pulled back people left in droves.

Several years later I read an interview in which they said the footage was from a medical film in which a man was having his cock reattached after being caught in farming equipment...

If you remember late 80's Butthole Surfers you should get the picture... They were such a great band at one point...
