Oh man, that movie looks amazing.

Also looks like it could be 30 minutes long.

Reminds me of rampage:

This is the Best Winnona Ryder movie she never made...

This doesn't look funny at all. In fact, it's downright disturbing.

I will watch this.

Alternative... not necessarily correction

It is a black comedy in the vein of Heathers and American Psycho. What it shines a light on and mocks in American pop culture is in itself disturbing.

Thus on some level it is supposed to be disturbing...

American Psycho was a comedy?

I mean it was clearly dark but I couldn't really place it's genre.

Synopsis: Bret Easton Ellis's dark and violent satire of America in the 1980s is brought to the screen in this unsettling drama with blackly comic overtones...

What's this? a quote of someone saying it has comic overtones?

I'm sold.

corpsesarefun wrote:What's this? a quote of someone saying it has comic overtones?

I'm sold.

Or you could google and research yourself and see that it is the common undertanding of and classification for the movie despite how unable you seem to be to fathom it...

Id say it was a comedy, it left me in tears from laughing more then a few times.

Quotes are totally meaningless without sources, I could post the following for example.

American psycho is a romantic comedy

It was originally a genuine question though, thanks for being so helpful

Bobcat Goldwait's last few movies have all been black comedies, so this isn't really a surprise.

Even if one couldn't tell from the movie itself , It took five seconds just now to type "American Psycho" into google and just about every link provided mentions the movie being "satire" and/or "Black Comedy".

As I stated it is the accepted and common interpretation/classification of the movie.

Not sure where your confusion stems from? Regardless, I dont really care that much.

You can pretendthe movie is whatever you want it to be, Carry on...

It actually reminds me of "Hobo with a shotgun" if anyone's seen that!

I love this film... So much

Bobcat Goldthwait's career has consisted almost entirely of black comedy...

This looks terrible. Just terrible.

I don't get it. What's funny about some pathetic middle aged fat guy shooting people who annoy him?

The trailer should have ended at 0:45

Definitely seeing that.

So, going to put you in the "not seeing it" camp.

Could be amusing. Kind of a mass-market Natural Born Killers without the sex and insanity.

No wait, maybe you're right. That does sound kind of weak sauce.

I am viewing it as more of a campy Natural Born Killers.

Looks tempting.

What I want to know now, is how does this movie go "On Demand" on April 6th, but goes into Theater May 11th? Just what sort of On Demand is this, and how do I acquire the means to see it?

Tim and Eric's Billion Dollar Movie was available online before being released into the theater as well.

I think the novelty of a man shooting annoying people is going to wear thin after 30 minutes. This movie seems like a one trick pony and all together not very good.

What was the pitch for this movie? "Ya know how sometimes you say you want to kill someone? Well this movie is them getting killed!" It seems like the bar for getting killed in this movie is pretty damn low. Hell the trailer seems to be packed with teenagers being teens getting killed off.

I fail to see how this movie will hold up it's premise or give the big life lesson. The plot seems pretty straight forward at this point and the satire is obvious. We're not looking at Voltaire here. All the random violence of Kick-ass now with a new twist! Watch more innocent people get butchered! Oh and the irony is the guy deserves to die because he couldn't figure out a way to better these people he just went on a killing spree and the girl because she's a sociopath.

That's basically what I got from it. The whole "annoying person is annoying, guy looks at him darkly and promptly shoots him" thing is funny for 5 seconds until you actually stop and think about how each and every one of us do or did annoying thimgs sometimes and it would have sucked to be shot for it....

Those people probably deserved a punch in the face, but death? hardly.

Man i cant wait for this to come out! It definitely looks like a solid purchase once it hits shelves (kind of like when i first spotted Hobo with a Shotgun)
