Homer-69

I've seen this movie a few times, and I thought it was pretty good, but somewhat flawed. 99% of the nudity was gratuitous and just showed up out of nowhere. There was no violence, and I don't remember any cussing. If the nudity were removed, this would be a great kids movie. Ami Dolenz, Jeannie, is looking like just about the cutest girl imaginable in this movie.

I was at my brother's apartment the other day, bored, so we decided to watch a movie. I wanted to watch "Half Baked" (which I now know to suck), but his roommate, who works at Blockbuster, put in this movie, "Gummo," that he said was about a town that survived a twister. I knew from the opening scene that I would hate this movie. I sat through this movie in horror and disgust (I could barely eat my pizza I was so grossed out) and waited for it's interminable end. When it was over we all berated the roommate for bringing home such a terrible, strange, dirty movie. Yet the next day, as I tried to explain what it was about to my sisters, I began to get this horrible realization that this was one of the greatest, funniest, most unexpected movies I have seen in a long time. No scene, in ANY movie, is near as funny as the drunk wrestling the chair ("Kick him in the head!"), the strange man in a pink coat hitting on the black midget ("Will you kiss me?" "Naah..."), or the kid working out in the basement with silverware ("Give me a smile or I'll blow your head off!"), or as disgusting as the same kid eating spaghetti in the bathtub, or unexpected as the well-dressed black kids talking about what they were going to do with their money, the short albino woman dancing, or the old pervert trying to feel up the albino girls. This movie was just so deliciously WEIRD. I was so grossed out by just how unclean this movie was, oh it was nasty. I could hardly hold my lunch these people were just so... gross. I couldn't stand how it lacked plot or development as I watched it, but looking back, it would have been worse had it a plot. I can't imagine a movie that has disturbed me more. Thank you, Gummo.
