I sing the praises of American Movie; I was fortunate enough to see it in the theater. This weekend I rented it from Fascist Pig Video™ (aka Blockbuster) and watched it 5 times in 4 days. I can’t wait to get my own copy but I will have to because the 2 or 3 copies sent to this city were sold quickly.
This movie is so goddam funny. And sad. And poignant. And truthful. And ridiculous. And amazing. And horrible … Mostly, it is funny. (And sad, etc.)
Who else has seen this movie yet? And please don’t be like the idiot clerk at Fascist Pig Video™: "Uh, American Pie? Ya, we have it; it’s an awesome movie … oh, um, yew mean American Beauty? Durr, over there, you see the one with the chick’s belly on it? What? Um-air-ih-kun … "
That movie was hilarious. The moviemaker’s friend - the recovering alcoholic and current scratch ticket addict - had me in stitches.
