Kramering in to excuse Michael Richards

I remember after the Michael Richards thing happened, someone cut together a bunch of clips from Kramer storylines that put together made him seem like a major racist. I remember it being pretty funny but it probably hasn't aged well at all.

Mooseontheloose posted:There are a string of late 90s and early 2000s Comedy Central Presents that I remember loving and NEVER HEARING from any one of those comedians again. I have a distant memory of a stand-up bit that was in Late Night with Conan O'Brian where the stand-up comedian kept telling corny, stupid jokes and smashing dinner plates on his forehead. Basically looked like someone having a coked out mania episode on the stage. His closing line was something like "One thing is certain though, *no-one* is going to steal this act". To this day I have not found who that was, and I am 97% certain it wasn't fever dream.

Gravitas Shortfall posted:Wait wait wait No, the director is a massive piece of poo poo who publicly went on a screed about how sometimes people just need to take things into their own hands and murder the people who "deserve" it. Boondocks Saints is entirely earnest about its message and is basically just a dude's murder fantasies projected onscreen.

There's a painfully intimate documentary about the making of Boondock Saints called Overnight that plays out like a particularly agonizing Christopher Guest film.

The thing about Boondock Saints is it appeals to a certain type of person. For a reason. It's weird to describe a BS fan but they own guns, they think white lives matter. You know them on sight. They get offended if you get offended. Yay!

I'm not doubting any of what you're saying, but it's incredibly hard for me to wrap my head around the idea of a chud power fantasy that involves cross-dressing to disguise yourself as a hooker. We're on an ascended plane of "what the gently caress is wrong with you?" where it's not just trying to figure out how you have such terrible opinions, but struggling even harder to understand how this was the way you chose to express them.

Hey now, not JUST chuds like Boondock Saints. Teenage boys do, which we can all agree is much worse, I say as someone who was one and though that movie was SICK when I was a kid.

Hell, I could see Dafoe having a legitimately fun time shooting it. Imagine reading through a script and coming to the realization that it would be physically impossible for you to overact and that you can go as ham as you like.

I watched the old hammer films version of the hound of the Baskervilles yesterday, and while generally good, the peasant woman's "Spanish" accent was bad to the point of being offensive, but also I couldn't help but laugh I have been watching old movies in the background while playing a game lately, since you can usually follow them with just sound. I thought that would work for the house on haunted hill, but every time Vincent Price came on screen I got distracted and died

Boondock Saints worked on the strength of a complete amateur pulling a fun action movie script out of his rear end. He was always honest about it just being a fun power fantasy action movie. I can respect that more than Scorsese's approach of "and then the protagonist goes to jail in the last 5 minutes because I swear my movies don't glorify crime *wink*"

I haven't seen Boondock Saints in over a decade so it probably sucks but at the time I enjoyed it as a ridiculous OTT action movie. I mean, it's got Billy Connelly as an assassin with six guns! How can anyone take that entirely seriously?

Boondock Saints was absolutely massively fawned over on the early 2000's toxic-masculinity-brand internet that gave us Maddox's Alphabet of Manliness, r/Creepshots, and SomethingAwful.com.

When I saw Boondock Saints I thought it was basically okay, carried almost entirely by Dafoe and THERE WAS A FIREFIGHT! Though Billy Connolly playing a stone cold killer was also kinda neat. Like for me it was incredibly forgettable. Was surprised that it of all the QT-wannabe guys-with-guns indies was the big cult flick.

Another somewhat similar example of that hit me recently when I started replaying one of the Batman Arkham games. Realizing that the fantasy Gotham City of that game, where anarchy rules the streets and a heavily armed and armored Thin Blue Line is thus justified in imposing martial law, really is how a depressing number of my fellow Americans think things really are cast a serious pall. I mean, it wasn't a good look to begin with but revisiting it after the events of the last few years hit really hard. I certainly don't think the developers had any intent to create an urban environment straight out right-wing grievance fantasies and in past play-throughs I just shrugged it off as the usual action-movie-style cophumper bullshit but the intervening years make it read a lot differently to me now. I said gently caress it and uninstalled after 5 minutes.
