Tim And Eric's Billion Dollar Movie

What? How? WHY? (Not Safe for Work, or sanity.)

Possibly the worst thing that Mark Cuban has done was finance this movie (and thankfully, it didn't cost a billion dollars to make).

As long as the wolf graphically devours somebody(and if Robert Loggia can cut an old woman's finger off, why not?), I'm game. Don't know anything about the TV show, though.

But wolves and Robert Loggia make anything better...well, the wolves made Frozen worse, but who's counting?

Sometimes, you see something that makes you happy, but you aren't sure why.

For me, this is one of those times.

What the fuck.....

Jeff Goldblum makes it all better though.

I know I'm gonna flak for this but I think this looks good from all I've seen of Tim and Eric I enjoy their type of humour plus who wouldn't want to watch a film where Jeff Goldblum is CHEF Goldblum.

I guess i'll be one of the few people out there wanting to see it.

Also, Robert Loggia is probably going to be the best part of this movie

The show sucks, and so will this movie

As much as I despise Tim and Eric, at least they aren't Seltzer and Friedberg.

Forget cloning Hitler. If anyone clones those two, the end is nigh.

Not for me though. This past decade has kind of dulled me to deadpan humor.

My flatmate was raving about it. I watched it. This was possibly the least cinematic experience of my entire life.

I never understood why Tim and Eric were "lauded" as comedic geniuses. The acid trips that they call TV shows could never crack a smile out of me, which is sad because I laugh easy.

I love all the people in the link who are like "No this is funny you just don't get their artistic genius!!!" As if I need the hipster brigade to tell me I have no comedic taste.

They're at their best when they're doing nightmare nostalgia. When they perfectly recreate the 90s but with added nightmares. The child clowns, the various Cinco products, Uncle Muscle's etc. But I can see how that is totally dependent on the individual person watching.

Nightmare is a good adjective. The show is geared to kids (not hipsters necessarily) who kinda sense the world they're inheriting is bullshit. Maybe the Dada movement is a closer comparison.

I've read comparisons to Tom Green, but he was more like a low-rent Andy Kaufman.

Honestly I for one like the show alright, but the movie looks excruciating. It's the problem with most short-format *things* (really) transposed to movie format, it's that they don't know how to adapt their comedy from short bursts into a longer story, and it usually doesn't go farther than just having an hour-and-a-half long sketch.

Which can be ok, at best, but I've always thought their humor works best in that it is concise, and an episode works because of the surprise and the sheer bewilderment of what they are going to come up with next. Having that kind of jokes and humor stretched over a movie format I'm pretty sure just ruins the whole thing.

This movie came out forever ago.
