falling down is amazing but hte number of people who miss the point is astounding
Yeah
if this movie manages to do something similar though, it will be great
it won't
did you watch the preview and are you at all familiar with bobcat?
I did not and am not
I just watched the trailer and thought "that is pretty insane but if they subverted it by showing it as the psychotic insanity that it is, that would be cool"
good to know that the usual suspects keep on having bad opinions
I really need Shoe to get in here so I know whether to like this or hate it (the correct opinion being the opposite of his).
Well perhaps I can be your foil, then, as Shoe and I seemed to butt heads a lot in the past. Since I think it looks entertaining, he will likely think the opposite.

it was about a dude who just straight up snapped that you are supposed to feel both compassion and disgust for

Like, if in this movie it's all shown as being hilarious and gleeful but actually the viewers are getting more and more disturbed and how fucked up these people are being, the laughter becomes uneasy and then we get the horrible crushing impact of the protagonists actions before they are stopped then that could be a pretty cool movie.

Maybe I'm reading too much into it, but I'm seeing more there than just "hey, killing people you hate is funny". Which, if that's what it actually is, I would understand the disdain being shown in the thread. But for some reason, it doesn't look like that to me.

it is a pathetic manchild revenge fantasy written by a fucking hack who has been preaching this same tripe for nearly 3 decades

so like Falling Down + Kick-Ass + i dunno, something Bobcat Goldthwait was in

I don't think the two are incompatible, really.
Falling Down starts off with a man losing his shit with the soul-crushing mundanity of everyday life
and we think "fuck yeah, get mad!"
and then it becomes about how actually no this guy has snapped and getting mad results in someone doing horrible, crazy things
it's not cool anymore. It's scary and horrifying. We feel sympathy for him, but also horror at what he has become.
And that's what would be cool in this movie.
But the murders are clearly portrayed as comedic.

"the stupidest, cruelest and most repellent members of society" and not a single Wall Street banker?
I don't wanna kill anybody. I don't like bullies. I don't care where they're from.

If that's what it is, then yeah, I'll agree with you. I am unfamiliar with Bobcat's work other than a vague memory of one or two jokes from his standup from the 80s, so you would know better than I would.
MAN I HATE THOSE VAPID BITCHES ON MY SUPER SWEET SIXTEEN
WHAT'S WRONG WITH AMERICAN THAT IT WOULD IDOLIZE PEOPLE LIKE THIS
and yeah, I mean
that's the reaction they want you to have
that's the point of the show
that's how they got people to watch, jackass
congratulations on having the predictable emotional response, congratulations on being manipulated by reality show edits to the point where you want to kill a child
