basically i want to do periodic showcases of weird fuckin movies that you, forum viewer, might not know exist. i was going to wait until magic lizard fell off but then this beautiful gem crossed my twitter feed

https://twitter.com/twitersgoodboy/status/1147116005518446592

yes that's right, its a vigilante story about a wrestler who wears a Visible Man suit, by Ethan Coen. and this isnt like garfield is by "the cohen brothers" and you hear it out loud and say what the gently caress joel and ethan, no this is actually Ethan Coen directing this bizarre film starring michael rappaport

it is, coincidentally, on youtube!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lSNXtJ8LZIM

so come join me, as we watch this strange beautiful thing that i genuinely cannot believe exists. lets all have a new favorite coen bros movie together.

My VHS copy of Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels that I watched over and over again back in the day had a trailer for this on it. ‘90s indie cinema was weird.

Ethan recycling some ideas from Darkman here, then disabled guy with a machine prosthesis, the lead goes insane and you can see “through” his skin. Kind of some spider man stuff in there too, was raimi involved?

I know what you did last summer, and frankly I am displeased.
The Coen brothers can be seen driving the Evil Dead car in Darkman. Pay attention to the scene where he's dangling off the helicopter over traffic.

A man becomes preeminent, he's expected to have enthusiasms.

Enthusiasms, enthusiasms...
from the trailer those wrestling shots make me wonder if the dude steps in the ring

Holy poo poo, I was only this morning discussing Atypical with a friend when I mentioned I vaguely remember a fever dream of a wrestling movie starring Michael Rapaport.

I got given the predictable "be less weird" look but, goddamn, do I feel vindicated.
