| 01.27.06 | Alamo Village | I'm always equal parts excited and wary to see movies that are supposedly super offensive or controversial. It's a very easy idea to launch into your imagination and, at least for me, it never ever lives up to its hype. I'm sure when I finally see Salo I will sit there afterward and my first reaction will be "eh." That's pretty much how this one went. It's sort of the Charlie Manson story told with claymation with alt-rock/neo-punksters voicing most of the cast. The dude from Rancid is in it, the dude from Green day, the dude from Blink 182, and i'm sure plenty of other people in bands I'm not cool enough to know are all also in it as well. Honestly, the first musical number is pretty good... and really whenever there's hardcore claymation porn on screen it can never be all bad... but after that it gets pretty tedious. I was strongly reminded of that other Manson Family movie that I watched last year where the feeling is: I should be liking this a lot more than i am. I still laughed at a few places (best laugh: "Sharon Hate" is driving along with her gay friend talking about how they love to kill mother nature and cut down rainforests and all this stuff then the gay guy says something like "shut up or i'll kill you and cut out your baby and fuck it" and she stops the car and just looks at him in complete silence for about 5 seconds) so I guess i'm glad I saw it... but I wouldn't recommend it. |
