Kvlt! posted:the boondock saints is a national treasure and i will not have its good name disparaged in this thread there's nothing wrong with the Evil Bong movies, but The Boondock Saints is a movie for edgy teens about how murdering people you don't like is cool and good.

Boondock Saints doesn't advocate murdering people you don't like. Sometimes it's okay to just punch them out. Like if a woman is gay, or ugly, or talking too much.

Well, it says that if you think your neighborhood has a crime problem you should just buy some guns and go around murdering people you deem to be criminals.

Pomp posted:Boondock Saints might as well be fascist propaganda 100% mixed up Battlefield Earth for Battle: Los Angeles as I scrolled through and for a moment I was worried your Dad was having an identity crisis. The latter, however, has one of my favorite unintentionally funny lines in movie history, so overall win for me remembering it exists.

Boondocks Saints is an excellent film guys It's about two psychopaths who are convinced they're right, slaughtering a bunch of people and getting punished for it because they're the villains

Burkion posted:Boondocks Saints is an excellent film guys Even if that is the case(it's not, Troy Duffy is too dumb for that), it's poorly made in almost every way you can think of. At least stuff like Fight Club and Scarface have real talent behind the camera that make them good films regardless of what you think the message is.

Ebert nailed itquote:The lads are loyal to the church in the same way their fans are loyal to Da Bears. They aren't players themselves, but it's their team and don't mess with it. They do hold a quasi-religious ceremony, standing in a circle with a pal and vowing to never, ever, stop smoking or drinking or attend an AA meeting. Drinking doesn't bother them, anyway. They chug whiskey like Gatorade. The only thing that bothers them, and they're super sensitive about this, is the slightest suggestion that they're gay.

It's not clever and it's not well made, and it has a lovely message so why watch it? We've called out plenty of horror movies here for having lovely messages/misogyny/being unnecessarily mean spirited too.

I finally decided to watch The Conjuring last night. I made it about 20 minutes in before I was so bored that I turned it off and watched Return of the Living Dead again. I regret nothing. Freddie's delivery of, "You mean the movie lied?!" cracks me up every time. Also apparently the German mortician is supposed to be a nazi?

I understand the backlash.
