Title: God Bless America
Post by: Stewie on April 05, 2012, 06:36:09 AM
This looks kinda interesting in a darkly funny way.
Reminds me of falling down.

If you're that interested because of him, you should know he's been making movies for a few years as writer and director.

Shakes the Clown and World's Greatest Dad are two such movies you'd want to check out as well.

I actually enjoyed shakes. This movie looks to be very guilty fun, just not sure how far the premise will hold.

Yeah.... I just have a hard time doing dark comedies.  Especially this sort that treats murder comically.  Just disturbs me more than anything and makes me feel uncomfortable watching (which is how I felt with that trailer).

I really liked World's Greatest Dad (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1262981/) from Goldthwait, along with his other stuff.  This looks good, and right up my alley too.

Worlds greatest dad was hard to watch, good movie, but man.... wow. Rough.

I love the actors in this film!

You know, I'm normally the first guy to take a big crap on anything where people are whining about how a film might cause people to behave badly, but I'm not real sure that a movie that's about killing every annoying person in our society is altogether prudent at this highly-armed moment in our history. But it might be a mistake also to leap to conclusions from the trailer.

I had that same reaction. Too close to the mark to be all that funny. I guess I am just grumpy.

I'd like this better if it actually happened in real life and this was a documentary about it.

Pretty sure those responsible for this have nothing but contempt for the public that will love it.

I saw it and was disappointed.

I actually thought the trailer looked amusing, but the trailer was better than the movie. I just flat didn't care for the main characters. I mean, maybe you're not supposed to, but to have any emotional investment in a movie, there has to be some sort of emotional attachment to SOMEONE, but I didn't get that at all.

It's on Netflix streaming so I just finished watching it.  I didn't realize it was Bobcat Goldthwait was the writer and director. I thought it was a decent movie.
