Raised by RATS, and Movie Week.
The fourth-best man-raised-by-rats movie in the world is currently winging its way to me. Friday night will be the first viewing, post office willing. Friday night +30 minutes is probably when I will turn it off for having too much gore. (I’m a weenie.)
The best part of this picture is how grumpy he looks, as if all he wanted was to swan around with his velvet cape in peace, and the cameraman totally ruined his afternoon.
I am so excited about a new movie. I don’t like going to the theatre and, when I have time, I find myself rewatching old favorites just as often as looking for new movies, so sometimes three months go by without me seeing a new movie. I NEVER watch horror movies, and even action movies have to be pre-approved, since a lot of them just raise my blood pressure. This movie is a huge departure for me, and I am only going to watch it with the understanding that it has a responsibility to be hilarious. If it weirds me out and I have to stop watching I’m going to be really sad. However, with promo stills like the one above, I think it’s smooth sailing for the Laugh Boat.
However, I am SUCH a dork about this new movie that I am already thinking about writing up my favorite movies – some of which are good, some of which are awful, some of which tread some horrible line in the middle that I can never figure out – and display my questionable taste to the world at large. I’m thinking that Thursdays will be Questionable Taste days until I run out of favorite movies.
So as of tomorrow, it’s Questionable Taste season!
Movies Already Questioned
1. The Polar Bear King – a tale of a life-size animatrionic polar bear puppet, and the woman who loved him.
2. The Warriors – the story of a bunch of apeshit-crazy gang members who kick asses on a desperate run from the Bronx to Coney Island.
ETA: 3. The Red Shoes! Man, how could I forget the “kids’ movie” that turned me into the freak I am today. The box cover says it all, people.
