Thanks to all my fans and friends for their support of my song & performance to "Animals in the Zoo" in film with Gregg Turkington, Michael Cera & John C. Reilly!
I'm gonna go ahead and -- no surprise here, if it's Turkington ANYTHING you know it's gonna be the same boat as a Cruise or Bond -- gonna go ahead and award it the illustrious FIVE bags of popcorn, hands down. And just for fun I'm gonna throw in a pair of blue-lensed glasses for you to wear around after you see the film, as a little homage/tip-of-the-hat to lens cooling filters and that neat cinematic lighting they always use in these great dark comedies, because there are some masterful examples here of how a seasoned cinematographer with expert direction can convey a scene's driving emotion all through the use of subtle color cues--much like Sofa Francis Henry Ford Coca-Cola in her 5 bagger, Lost in Transylvania 2. Thanks Gregg for your valuable contribution to the art of cinema, hope to watch this one with you over a tub of the good stuff, or five!
Unironcally if you love Gregg Turkington's character from On Cinema and would want to see how a mediocre narcissist like that would actually fair in this world without a cartoonish Con-man like Tim to be codependent on, this movie takes your heart and shoves it right into the passive agressive discomfort of a bitter and stubborn little man's ambivalent existence. Its slow and increasingly builds up to the miserable underlying obsessive mania that ultimately fuels someone to view one's self as somehow exceptional to others. This is Neil Hamburger's moment in the spotlight and he delivers in this peice of art create by a talented team. And as someone who was born and lived surrounded by California's Bay Area and Central Valley for 22 years, it's really cool to see a film use such a specific and familar landscape as the backdrop.
I watched this because Tye Sheridan was in it tbh. He was his interesting spontaneous self but the film appeared to go nowhere; it did show what hard work it is to be a comedian on the road though.
There is no "Why(s)," only "How." Yeah, a smile on your face and to have some fun. The tongue/blazzttzzzzzzzzzzz made me giggle. NOW THAT IS...Showbiz which beats the heck outta Showism.
I wanted to like this so much. I love Neil Hamburger and maybe Im just too dumb to get it but I felt like I was watching paint dry. Nothing much happens. I felt like maybe they could express the dullness of his life in other ways but i feel many scenes were WAY too drawn out.
That’s a fair response. Some of this movie is boring but I found it ultimately so tragic and scary that the barrenness of certain scenes worked in its favor. It helps if you’re used to “slow cinema” like the films of Apichatpong Weerasethakul whose style I was reminded of by a few of the longer static shots in this movie.
5 bags of popcorn and 3 pairs of broken spectacles
i just gotta say this movie walked so the joker could run
This was a weird fuckin movie. But it gets five bags of popcorn and three cups of soda because Gregg appears shirtless several times in this movie.

This looks right up my alley. Love the Tim and Eric people, and the cinematography here has me hooked.

Very difficult to sit through but leaves you thinking about for days after. Similar impact Rick Alversons The Comedy has!
