…to make ART!

Now, if you’ve seen the flick, you know how seriously we take our God-given right to free artistic expression. Serious as a motherfuck, homie!

So today I’m reading this slamjob on IMDB, another one for the ‘ol ‘Worst Movie Ever’ stack, some poor fella in Sweden who must’ve spilled his hot chocolate this morning and I’m all like, “Dang…ain’t Sweden supposed to be neutral?” Kinda morose and kicking myself a bit. But then- check it out!- I come across this awesome site called The Film Fiend and damned if they didn’t write a positively golden-ass review. Here’s a link:

This is what socially awkward, black t-shirted, Dawn of the Dead-quoting teenagers dream about. You know the type I mean. The kids who buy condoms for the sole purpose of filling with Karo blood…the kids who lurk the AV room after school instead of the senior lot…the kids who go scrounging for pig guts from butchers and blowback guns from surplus shops.

A big “Merci!” to Sep 7…

…for that’s about all the French I know. Which I am ashamed of, given how much I’ve enjoyed their fries over the years.

Sep 7 is a Canadian site that posted a review from our Fantasia screening. Because it’s written in elegant Francois, and because I am a  fat solipsistic American, I turned to my Parisian associate Mr. Jordan Mintzer to help me sort it all out. (In addition to being bi-, and perhaps even tri-lingual, Jordan also produced one of the best received true indie films of last year, Matt Porterfield’s Hamilton, which you should absolutely go see, especially after this summer’s parade of billion-dollar bullshit spectacles.)

Monday, September 10th, 2007

Look.

It’s no secret that ‘Murder Party’ just doesn’t work for everybody. Some folks love it, some folks hate it, but we love you all for just taking the time to check it out.

But this review here, wooo golly…I mean, I kinda just want to give this turkey a hug, you know? Feel kinda bad for the dude. Here, check it out at the link below, and then I’ll say some stuff, and then lets all jump on the message boards and hash it out. (I feel like I’m talking to myself here sometimes, c’mon, let’s hear some noise people!)
