I think the whole “if you look deep enough everyone has done sketchy shit” is a way of normalizing terrible people.”

It’s more like, If something truly awful comes out then they likely are 100 times worse.

Broken Lizard are super hit or miss imho.

Super Troopers, Club Dread, Beerfest, and Slammin Salmon were anywhere from decent to great.

Super Troopers 2 was not very good at all.

And I saw their new one coming out soon, Quasi, and that’s one of the worst movies I’ve ever seen. Astoundingly terrible.

Predator: lifting the truck off the bricks to roll into the guerrillas

Commando: holding sully over the cliff edge... With his weak arm

Commando: lifting the phone box up with sully inside

Commando: flipping the yellow car back over from being on it's side (granted most people could do this)

Basically all of commando

My own hypothesis is that this is another instance of people being horrible at nuance.

I.e. "Everything and everyone is all good or all bad."

JK Rowling has donated to a lot of great charities and brought joy to millions of children, AND she's said nasty things about trans people. George Washington fathered a nation that the entire world is probably better off for, AND he struggled with believing in liberty while also enslaving people. Jeff recycles, but not as much as he could.

People are more complicated than just good or evil. It's probably good we couple some morality to art. I just wish our conversation about it wasn't so stupid and childlike.

I haven't been able to watch him in any movies for a while now, which sucks, because I know the MI movies are great. He just creeps me out and I can't get past the fact that he is involved in sketchy shit with a cult and everyone just looks the other way.

Puddle Cruiser gave us “firstie,firstie girlie,girlie” which is still the first thing I think of when I meet a dude with a name like Tracy Madison.

I do not care at all for Kevin Spacey as a person. However, The Usual Suspects is one of my favorite movies and I doubt that ever changes.

However, I am very reluctant to watch anything he's in that I haven't seen before.

You make some excellent points, though, and I agree with what you're saying.

Good list. I’d throw in Bresson since Schrader was influenced by him too (particularly Pickpocket and L’Argent).

Probably a three way tie between Dumb and Dumber, Ace Ventura, and There’s Something About Mary.

I actively avoid Tom Cruise movies because of this. Even though Eyes Wide Shut is one of my favorites...

This topic gives me mixed feelings and I haven't quite figured it out yet.

I can understand when people choose not to support particular individuals or businesses by refusing to contribute to them financially. It’s effective, sends a message, and is their right as a consumer. However, in cases like your example, there is nothing left to achieve, your support, or lack there of, is insignificant. If someone is able to gain some enjoyment out of the collective work of hundreds of people, at least it’s a silver lining.
