Warping our friends

[yendi]

So, last night, we realized that of the folks currently hanging out at our house, only shadesong, vidicon, and I had seen Meet the Feebles. That meant that lupaloo, ashlupa, elfboy999, sibylla, and ryokan (as well as sleeping guest star bheansidhe) had never been exposed to the sickest Muppet movie ever made. This had to be rectified, of course.

So, after a field trip to Bruster's (mmm, peanut butter cookie dough ice cream), we watched Peter Jackson's third best film (Dead Alive and The Frighteners, of course, although some folks prefer his movies about that ring, which is clearly just a cheap Terry Brooks rip-off).

You know what's almost as much fun as watching a movie about Muppets having sex, doing drugs, killing each other, and performing musical numbers about sodomy?

Watching other folks watch this movie for the first time.

No one can really be prepared for this movie.

Drug-soaked muppet porn was how my friends described it when I sprung it on them with no fanfare. They still haven't let me live it down. Which is funny, because for the most part, they really liked his other works.

Personally, I think Feebles is brilliant.

But if you're talking about Dead Alive, yeah, no one is really prepared for that one either. I still look away at the whole custard scene.

Psst - fix your HTML. "Meet the Feebles" isn't showing up in the post.

Um . . . I saw you mentioned Dead Alive and The Frighteners . . . but . . . uh . . . aren't you talking about Meet The Feebles?

*quivers in hiding in case he just doesn't understand the wording of the post*

Fixed!

Sorry -- an A and an href got merged. It should be readable now.

Yeah, the custard scene is the one thing that really squicks me in that movie. Although nothing approaches the vomit drinking scene in Bad Taste.

Can't prepare for it... so it's kind of like "Gummo" in that respect?

[shawnj.livejournal.com]

True. I actually find that scene to be pretty funny, mostly because I guess that I've seen the movie so many times that my mind doesn't make the leap that it's chunky vomit anymore. The blood in the custard I still do though.

[shawnj.livejournal.com]

Except it's actually entertaining, unlike Gummo. :P

::waves:: Hope you don't mind if I add you. In spite of what you and shadesong subjected me to last night. ;-)

[mfree.livejournal.com]

true, Gummo compared directly to shock treatment eithout the electrodes.

it makes me wonder if it was made in the light of the Beatles "Walrus" or whatever it's called.... artists so tired of people trying to find the hidden message that they put something out with no message whatsoever?

[yendi]

Of course not. But you mean you're adding me in spite of the movie, instead of because of it? ;-)

[auryn29a.livejournal.com]

This is just one of those movies I don't ever want to see.

[iresprite.livejournal.com]

The... that film... wow.

Yeah. :) I had to keep from putting harmful substances in my eyes to wash away the retina burn of interspecies fellatio.

Hey! I'm a dork, and I've waited far too long to friend you. But now I'm less of a dork, 'cause I added you. *grins* Hope you're doing well, man.

Just passing through

I love putting that movie in with a group of people and not telling them anything about it.

The same look on their face you were describing is as much fun as the movie.

[lupaloo.livejournal.com]

In spite of, because of... either way. :)

[bardiphouka.livejournal.com]

I am a bit worried about his next project though..a remake of King Kong

[yendi]

It's the film he's been waiting to make all of his life. I've got faith in him on this front.

[yendi]

And I've got just as many dork points as you, since I also kept meaning to add you, but just never got around to it. :-)

you continue to introduce me to strange new things...

[ocean-song.livejournal.com]

I too have never seen this thing. But hey, muppet sex and drugs, I'm in. Now, to find someone to see it *with* me!

And by the way, how DARE you flaunt your Brewster's when there are those of us who must do without. Evil, naughty yendi! ;)

Re: Just passing through

[shadesong.livejournal.com]

yendi, vidicon, and I watched their faces more than we watched the movie. Was great. :)

Re: you continue to introduce me to strange new things...

[yendi]

My apologies for any inadvertent torture. :-)

http://www.brusters.com -- tell them to keep expanding!

Re: you continue to introduce me to strange new things...

[ocean-song.livejournal.com]

Damn. I never *can* spell it right. I think its just a block because I can't have it anyways. heh.

But yeah, expansion... maybe they can take over the WORLD!
