Bobcat Goldthwaite
Sharp, lacerating take on the current state of the media nation. We follow a schlub who's had enough takes on the task of killing folks who deserve it. Along the way he picks up a demented, violent 17 yo female sidekick with a long list of possible victims. Somewhere near NBK, Falling Down and Bonnie and Clyde. But played for laughs and wicked satire.
Much of this was pointed and effective: TV clips showing crude behavior served up as entertainment, mean political pundits, people talking in movie theaters or who take up two parking spaces(?)...
Some great rants every now and then by both leads that really hit the target. The many killings are absurd and weirdly satisfying. Who doesn't want to murder those ubiquitous protesters from that Baptist church who hate gays and jews?
This guy's made several films that didn't work. This one has some weak moments but taps successfully into the disgust many feel toward the dominant media-saturated "culture."
Killing Kardashian anyone?
