I just watched this movie made by the Oscar-winning director of the Lord of the Rings trilogy.
There is an :eek: smiley big enough.
It wasn’t bad. It wasn’t that good. It just…was.
I found an online review which described it as The Muppet Show meets Pink Flamingos.
That’s not far off.
Warped. Twisted. Bizarre. Offbeat. Sick…and many more adjectives.
I DID like the
the hippo doing her best “Scarface” impersonation with the machine gun at the end.
Have you seen it?
Whaddya think?
That should read “There ISN’T…” an eek smiley…
I thought it was absolutely hillarious, personally.
Insanely disgusting, which is great.
I have never laughed harder at a film.
I do feel that I will be sent to hell for enjoying the film.
I’ve always decsribed as the episode of The Muppet Show that was written by Hunter S Thompson.
Any movie that has a scene
(spoiler for vulgarity)
A hippo walks in on her husband, a walrus, fucking a cat as it OPENING scene is fine by me.
Dear Og, that was a bizarre movie.
Liked it more as a short story than a novel. Shame there’s no place for an R-rated short subject.
We have it on DVD. The first time I saw it my husband warned me beforehand, but I still wasn’t prepared for how vile it really was. Needless to say, I loved it! 
Mmmm, carrots. Are they yours, Harry?
I saw it with some friends after having had a few dopplebocks, and it was all I could do to sit there looking at the TV screen with my mouth open and once in a while say, “What the fuck…? What the fuck…?”
From that night’s experience, we coined a new term; whenever something strikes us as so odd and/or disturbing that we are at a loss for words, we say that we’ve been ‘enFeebled’.
Roberto Benigni’s Pinocchio was the last film to truly enFeeble me.
I’ve always described it as “Muppets on acid”.
Brilliant film. There’s some truly disturbing shit in there. Speaking of which… The Fly’s voice really annoyed me. I hate that audio effect.
And yes, I have it on DVD. 
We have all of Peter Jackson’s movies on DVD, even Forgotten Silver, which is a funny “mocumentary” about an inventive New Zealand filmmaker. It was shown on television and people got so upset because they thought it was real and were so proud of this forgotten man who had done so many wonderful things (including inventing a steam powered film camera!) that I hear Jackson was in some hot water when people found out it was all a lie.
Regarding Feebles, Cuckoorex pretty much nailed it. “What the fuck…? What the fuck…?” Yep, we had a good time watching it too, though I like Braindead (aka Dead Alive) much more. Feebles and The Forbidden Zone are the best movies to spring on a drunk/high unaware friend (though they may not stay friends). (Cuckoorex, Forbidden Zone is WAY enFeebled, and it’s got Danny Elfman as the Devil! Lots of fun.)
I loved Peter Jackson’s speech when ROTK won for Best Picture:
It was humble and funny at the same time, and a nice little treat/in-joke for people who’ve seen those movies.
Not to hijack the thread, but The Forbidden Zone is one of my all-time favourite films. I saw it at the Los Angeles Science Fiction and Fantasy Film Society back in the early-'80s. They were supposed to show another film, but couldn’t get it; so they showed The Forbidden Zone instead. We were warned that this would be a film we would either love, or hate; there would be no middle ground. Over the years I’ve collected a tape that a friend made for me when it was shown on HBO or Showtime, a copy of questionable legality from Revok, and two legitimate VHS copies. Man, I wish they’d come out with a DVD!
A-wee-a-ee, a-wee-a-oo
