  • Freddy Got Fingered - Elsta (12/07/2002 11:41:22 AM)
    I just finished watching “Freddy Got Fingered” and I gotta tell ya, I liked it. Most of the movie reviews that hit pop1 are usually an attempt to warn others off or to liberate one's feelings online to a small following of geeks. Well, I don’t know if that will be sufficient in this case. Firstly, I may need therapy and or a combination of hard anti schizophrenic drugs and a shit load of therapy. This movie pushes all the boundaries of modern cinema, no fuck that, it didn’t push them it ran them down with a Mac truck and then backed over them with an elephant sporting a hard on. Never have I seen so much sickening shit squeezed into such a short amount of time… not that short really, Freddy Got Fingered is probably a long movie, not that you’d notice. Most of the film I was too grossed out to look at the screen.

    Can’t say I was ever a fan of Tom Green but after seeing this flick I'll be looking out for him in future. There’s a web site (all in flash) for Freddy Got Fingered , but I suggest you overlook the site and just go rent it. Don’t be spooked by the lack of a story line, I don’t think this is the kind of film that requires something as ridiculous as a plot to get in the way of the exceedingly dark (almost black) humour. If you’re stomach has a tendency to run away from scenes that graphically depict elephant masturbation then I suggest you skip this flick. If you can handle sick humour, even just a little ... I know you’re out there ya freaks, go rent it.

    My Vote, Go rent the fekker ... $6.00

    It is amazing what passes for humour these days. I hate this movie. Seriously. I nearly threw a chair at Porcupine today after he said that he liked this movie.

    It is the sort of pathetic, juvenile shite that appeals to the kind of pre-pubescent, illiterate, fuckwads that the media targets in it's lowest-common-denominator search for "what's cool".

    I realise that anal humour is the best kind of comedy, but this movie tries too hard to be funny, and just isn't.

    Penguin rating: 0 turnips.

    YOu're really non-juvenile using words like "fuckwads".
    :P

    Heh! What I said was that it wasn't that bad, when people asked me why I was going to see the Ali G movie. I think these movies do compare ~ although Ali G has a following outside of the movie ... for some reason.

    Are either of them classics to be recommended? Hell no. It needs a special person to be able to sit there and watch it.

    To put this in context, I like to watch terrible movies, generally old ones such as "Killers from space", "Surf Nazi's must die", "Plan 9 from Outer Space", "Eraserhead" and so on.

    Hollywood pushes out tired old formulaic junk regularly, bad stuff can be a breath of fresh air. As can old stuff.

    Some of the stuff in Freddy is just gross. However, given that insides exploding is becoming yawn material there are only a couple areas the movies can venture into to freak us out. For what it was trying to do, "Freddy got fingered" did it well enough. I don't even classify it as a bad movie in the sense that it was a polished production.

    Wipe out the movies that target your low brow market and we'd be left with very few movies. Not necessarily a bad thing, but its not gonna happen.

    I won't be watching it again, nor would I recommend it to anyone.

    i can vouch for the chair throwing incident....

    if you think the idea of throwing up on ur dead grandma is funny... watch this film.
