Holy SHIT I wanna see Dreamcatcher

[TVC15]

Sorry if I have made this thread a dozen times, but Our Year of Flops is so great.  This movie sounds terrible.  I'd been told to check it out before, but I had no idea it was this awesome.

Then the animals begin to flee, the alien ass weasels arrive, and the film abruptly morphs from Stephen King’s Clerks to a Max Fischer production of Aliens. For it seems that for 25 years, the United States Government has been battling a secret invasion of malevolent space aliens that grow in the human body and exit out the rectum, but not before leaving a whole lot of toxic flatulence in their wake.

This development poses some unique acting challenges for Olyphant. How do you respond, for example, when an alien ass weasel chomps on your genitalia and you try to extinguish it by dry-humping an open fire? That’s the kind of shit they don’t teach you at Juliard. Olyphant isn’t the only one with unique acting challenges. A little while later, Lewis acts out both parts of many animated conversations between himself and Mr. Grey, the alien occupying his body, who, judging by his accent, is apparently from the British part of outer space.

[Morgan] Freeman’s sonorous voice can give even the sleaziest line a faint air of nobility but even he is hard pressed to make the line, “What about the shit weasels, the ones blasting out of the basement door?” seem like anything more than grade-Z pulp. When considering the “What about the ass weasels?” line, it’s important to remember that it was penned by a two-time Oscar winner and delivered by another Oscar winner. Yet Dreamcatcher itself was cruelly overlooked at the 2004 Academy Awards, despite containing what might be the single most exquisitely condescending homage to core American values in cinema history, when Freeman contemplates killing infected civilians and, his voice rising in anguish, intones “Those poor schmucks. They drive Chevrolets, shop at Wal-Mart, never miss an episode off Friends. These are Americans!” By that logic, if you drive a Ford, shop at Target, and miss an occasional episode of Friends, you are at best Canadian.

BEST MOVIE EVER!!!!

You see, for years, friends have told me how great this movie was, but since the art of spotting a good bad movie is apparently not as easily attainable as most people believe, I kind of wrote off their recommendations.

The Our Year of Flops writer is just so hilarious that I have to see this movie after reading that article.
