If I don’t get drowned in homework, I’d love to have a showing on Easter/Passover weekend so look out for posts about that if you’re interested.

the poll will decide what we watch (i try to put in one “bad” movie per week). i’ll announce what movie we’re watching friday morning some time.

friday 7/13 (spooky) at 7 pm cst is when we’ll start watching the movie--i’ll try and put rabbit up about 10-15 minutes ahead of time, and if any delays or things come up, check the movie night tag on my blog bc that’s where i’ll put them! 

check what time we’re watching in your timezone using this site!

reminders/rules under cut:

*this is my favorite part <3

*Movie night-by @ask-gendertale-sans collab with @fangirlally

Really, there are so many things to like about this movie.* The writing,** the casting, the acting, the soundtrack, the fact that I always forget that John Turturro is in it and then get pleasantly surprised when I see his name in the credits… (Honestly, even if I somehow made it halfway through the movie without noticing the credits or recognizing his face, I would know him immediately from the way he screams in the siren scene. 😂 ) And yet, when I first saw the movie, my opinion of it (which has been immortalized somewhere on this blog) was “Listen to the soundtrack, skip everything else.” I never would have thought I’d like it enough to go see it in theaters. But that’s the beauty of taking chances on an unfamiliar work of art, tbh. If you keep an open mind, you can find a place in your heart for something new, even if it’s not something you’re used to. (Should probably cut myself off here before I say anything too ridiculously cheesy.)

*There is one major issue I have with this movie, though- Tommy’s comparative lack of dialogue! He only gets two lines following the scene where he’s rescued from the Klan, and come to think of it, he only really gets about ten lines in the whole movie… He may be a less humorous character, but he’s a Soggy Bottom Boy too and he deserves attention, dammit. (Plus, nothing can convince me he isn’t just as silly as the other main characters. “For that you sold your everlasting soul?” “Well, I wasn’t using it!” Come on, there’s so much potential there!)

**Speaking of the writing, I haven’t even seen this movie THAT many times and I was shocked to find myself mouthing along to like… half of it. Which leads me to share a few lines that I thought deserved more attention from the audience tonight, because they make me laugh just thinking about them and the audience barely chuckled during these parts:

“The Color Guard is colored! …Who made them the Color Guard??”

Delmar, when Peter is listing the bad things that have happened to him ever since he started following Everett: “Turned into a frog!” Everett: “He wasn’t turned into a frog.” Delmar: “Well he nearly got loved up!”
