Dirty Duck

this is a movie that could've only been made in the 70s and only picked by starbarry

if Forbidden Zone was made by perverts for insane people, Dirty Duck was made by insane people for perverts. i was impressed by some of the surrealist imagery for 1974 and liked some of the music but otherwise it just varied between annoying and uncomfortable, and at occasional points low-qual enough that i actually couldn't make out what someone was saying. i want to try and say more but it all just kinda ended up blending together in a haze of sex jokes and cringing at Willard. i can appreciate something being irreverent and weirdly sort of progressive as a result but this just felt like too much too aggressively, and reminded me being unique doesn't automatically make something endearing

2/10

Dirty Duck

When I was about 15 years old, I accidentally slammed my fingers in a car door in my parents' garage. My mom had already walked into the house before I even left the car, so nobody saw it happen. My entire hand was trapped in the car door, which was fully closed and locked, and three of my fingers were crushed under the frame. The pain was excruciating. I yelled of course, but because of the soundproofing in the walls, nobody heard me at first. Trying to pull my hand out was pointless and only hurt more, and I had no keys so I couldn't open the door. I started to realize that nobody was going to help me, at least not right away, and that I was probably going to be stuck there for a while. I stood there for what felt like forever, in overwhelming pain the entire time, shouting for help at intervals and probably sounding more and more desperate.

I remember wondering to myself at some point if maybe my nervous system would adapt to the pain after a few minutes, or if my hand might go numb or start to hurt less. But no, the entire time I was stuck, I was in constant agony, and at no point did it let up even a little. In fact as time went on and I got more and more frustrated, the pain intensified. By the time my mom finally heard my shouting and came to help, I felt like I was going to be trapped there forever. When I think back on this I realize that I don't really remember the initial injury or how much it hurt, I just remember how endless the experience felt. The pain was intense, but the exasperation of being confined somewhere with absolutely no way out was the thing that got to me, and that made the brief time I was stuck feel like hours. Dirty Duck (1974) has a runtime of 75 minutes.

i started Dirty Duck and watched for what felt like a pretty long time and was certain that i was near the halfway point of the film but then i looked and it had only been 20 minutes. just finished the part where the protagonist pays a cocaine-addicted haberdasher to help him walk past black people on the subway.

I read sub-actuality's review of Dirty Duck out loud to my wife and without knowing anything about the movie beforehand, she got extremely upset and begged me not to watch it. absolute God Tier content hidden in an unread portion of the forums lmao

More like a first impression, but I feel like the duck was not as down & dirty as advertised!

Like, it threatens to be this kind of “Falling Down” story of a proto-incel (in 1974!) (like, did CBoyardee watch this?) before turning oddly wholesome as he literally gets in touch with his feminine side. Rather nice stuff from a typical unerotic 1970s sex comedy.

I’m honestly going to have to watch it twice, because there’s both such a density of often-contradictory information, and no clear entry point. Is it the pygmalion reference? The association of this ersatz Donald Duck with imagery of tattoos and tattooing? The implicit-but-unstated “good duck”/“good gently caress” joke? Alls I know so far is that the twist is great, and the collaged backgrounds are cool art-school stuff. Whoever made this was clearly trying.

• GBS may actually be funnier than this movie.
  
• It contains a copious amount of sexual assault.
  
• gently caress you, Starberry Clock.

yeah thats fine but why did you talk about a high school suicide? it feels like sub-actualitys car door trauma posting where you try to equate a movie to a horrible life event but needlessly darker and way less funny lol

Did you watch this movie? You're either being way too charitable or stealing SMGs bit. Even if you're in to this kind of movie every joke in it was basically lifted straight from another cartoon seemingly without understanding the satirical nature of artists like Crumb or Bakshi use of racist imagery. I was fully prepared to defend this movie alongside you until I actually saw it.
