I find the best movies to fall asleep to are ones that won't induce nightmares, so no horror, and ones that you can keep on a low volume, but still know what's happening, and also don't have lots of action scenes. That is why most of these are cheesy comedy movies, they work grrreat.
Y'know, I've always secretly wanted to see Cabin Boy. I've never been able to bring myself to do it, but the desire has lingered. Inexplicably. Possibly because the "these pipes are clean" line from the trailer has lingered in my mind for years. Pitiable, I am.
Funky list Cailinchick.
Cabin Boy is incredible Jim. Right up there with Freddy Got Fingered on the odes to Ed Wood Jr. scale. I would say watch it and be amazed...or appalled...or both. :?)
I've tried to rent Cabin Boy. I've stood in front of it in the video store and ordered my hand to reach forth and pluck it from the shelf. And yet it won't. Sandler, Stallone, Spade, Farley, a veritable who's who of schlock I can handle, and yet I've never been able to rent that particular film. Still, I think my chances of successfully renting it are about a bazillion times better than me renting Freddy Got Fingered. Have you actually seen that movie?
Yes I have and I say that proudly, with no shame...well maybe a little shame but none that would make me embarrased. When he enters the deer and uses it as a man-puppet-deer and runs around like an animal I said to myself, "now ya haven't really seen it all have ya." When he connected a trapeze of sausages and played his horrible song on the keyboards and accused his father of sticking a finger up his brothers butt I was amazed. When will you ever see this kind of thing (Some people would ask why would you ever want to see this kind of thing?) again. The sheer adventurousness of the film-making on display was so revolting and inept it gave me a new-found enthusiasm for cinema. Thanks Tom Green, you changed my life.
Tallyho
:?)
I would hesitate to even call it a movie. My belief is that it's a giant middle finger raised at anyone who watches it. What do you do when you're a no-talent uin-funny hack who's only claim to fame is being mean to your friends and family on camera? You make a movie that no one could possibly enjoy as your last goodbye, your final F-U to the world. It's basically a movie where every scene is written to annoy and offend the viewer. That said, I think the Dungeons and Dragons movie was almost as bad.
