Dr Strangelove

Never, ever gets old watching that. And every single time you're hoping that it ends differently. One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest is like that.

Take it you've seen The Thick Of It?

oh hell yes! that will get another rewatch

also, great with the times

and if you have another say 40 titles to suggest that would be awesome :D


ah ha ha ha! "you're hoping that it ends differently." INDEED. especially cuckoo's nest. damn. that one gets me every time.

Well if you're looking for satire I'm out. Read a piece in the Guardian a couple of weeks ago that basically said that satire is dead when it couldn't be riper for it. https://www.theguardian.com/culture/...cci-few-laughs

I watched Cuckoo's Nest a month or so back and goddammit. You keep thinking "The window is open!! Just leave now, for god's sake!" then we all know how it goes. Again.

satire does not work if the audience is too dull or too brainwashed to understand it is satire....

The Producers seems appropriate. Also The Great Dictator.

yes-- the movie & tv show. needed subtitles but yeah.

why do english shows' "seasons" have only 3 episodes though. aghhh.

for a few minutes i thought you were calling me an imbecile but now i'm assuming you're referring to the article about the death of satire

ha!

guess i'm an imbecile either way


yes-- but it has a hero who gives you a heartfelt speech. i need something a little more take-no-prisoners cynical to go with the holiday spirit haaa haaa haa.

kinda like brazil. hm... brazil for sure-- MERRY CHRISTMAS!... and terry gilliam... 12 monkeys again?

also gonna rewatch cabin in the woods. so great.

some john waters definitely. haven't seen female trouble in AGES.

bleak laughter, i need bleak laughter at the void

wild tales

Some suggestions for different kinds of satire ...

The Graduate
American Beauty
Dawn of the Dead
Shampoo
American Psycho
This is Spinal Tap
Best in Show
Beyond the Valley of the Dolls
South Park - increasingly so
House of Cards
Being There
Primary Colours
Veep
A Clockwork Orange
After Hours
The Producers
Wag the Dog
CB4
Barton Fink
LA Story
Death Race 2000

oh hell, that was soooo good! definitely worth a rewatch

death race 2000!!!!!!! have to watch that again

never saw wag the dog or primary colors-- will add

after hours the unusual scorsese? love it

never heard of CB4

and yes to all of christopher guest

never seen shampoo, will add

btw came home w/ ROCKY HORROR (never seen it), JOHNNY ENGLISH and SHARKNADO (which seems to be a parody of itsef)

--

also have recently seen SPRINGTIME FOR HITLER i mean THE PRODUCERS (hilarious) but i think instead i'll order BAMBOOZLED which i've managed to keep missing-- prolly not "funny" but eh

CB4 is awesome.

added!

also added:half-baked (only seen parts)

also added: beavis and butthead do america (awesome)

prolly should do idiocracy as well--- ha ah ha the age of idiocracy has arrived already

^ha! expect to kill some brain cells in the process.

CB4 is awesome and Don't Be a Menace to South Central While Drinking Your Juice is a great companion piece.

I mean, all those movies call for massive amounts of pot. some can survive others can't.

Down Periscope...best role Rob Schneider ever had.

YES

(originally posted this in the wrong thread)

i'm having a hard time following this rocky horror thing 100% but it has some hilarious parts

Rocky Horror is more an event than a film. The whole audience participation thing is central to its cult status. As a film in its own right it really doesn't work at all. I suggest you simply slip into some lingerie and start talking back to the screen if you wanna get the best from it.

Rocky Horror is pretty meh. There are far better "so bad they're good" films. This one just happened to get the cult following.

ha ha ha ha

i'll do that if there's a next time


i enjoyed the whole glam rock aeasthetic of it

tim curry as marc bolan or what?

plus, the biggest reason-- susan sarandon in her bra and panties in 1974-- UAU

this isn't a bad candidate for video wallpaper at a party actually
