Kuso: "The Grossest Movie Ever Made"

Even when it's clearly just a film intended to shock and disgust people, there are STILL film snobs that insist there is a deeper meaning to the film. I am guessing there really isn't. Now I haven't seen it, so I can't be 100% sure, but based on the descriptions of some of the events that occur in the film, I'm guessing it's just gross-out schlock.

Also the title is literally the Japanese word for "Shit". What else would you expect?

 

What the fuck is wrong with Tim Heidecker these days?

 

First there was that Room book, now this? Imagine what someone would think of Americans if the only American works they knew of were those two.

 

I have never wanted to unsee something more then I do now...

 

Sounds hot.

 

It has David Firth in it, he was the guy behind Mr. Salad Fingers, of course it's going to be gross and weird.

 

To me, this looks like the kind of thing pretentious movie critics would love, but also something they would hate at the same time.

 

I need to see this movie

 

Meh, not a fan of things that rely on shock-value alone, be it art, film or whatever. Not because it genuinely shocks me or makes me feel uneasy or whatever. After all, a visceral, sometimes even violently oppositional reaction from the audience is exactly what these people are looking for. But I usually dislike them because it seems like an easy and lazy way to get praise from elitist, pseudo-intellectualist critical circles while the general public feels offended and makes them feel important and validated. If it's new and revolutionary, like it often used to be in the past (I'm thinking of certain avant-garde artists and the such from the mid-late 20th century) then fine, but if it's overdone then it loses all credit as something groundbreaking and game-changing.
Not sure if that's the case for this movie, or if it has other redeeming qualities like an interesting plot and story or a deeper philosophical meaning, but that's the first impression I get when I read about a firm that boasts about being "the grossest film ever".

 

Tim Heidecker stars in this movie, don't expect any of that

 

Is there any indie film that critics won't claim to have "a deeper message" or some other bullshit like that?

 

Need to make up some sort of bullshit why you didn't just waste your time and money, I guess.

 

Oh fuck, I'm game, I'll watch any old grossout shit. I work the graveyard shift and like to live the cliché by throwing on super underground and hardcore crap edgelord horror films to stay awake. Just don't expect me to pay for it. If Flying Lotus can afford to make what's essentially just an ugliness endurance test as his big artistic statement passion project, he doesn't need my twelve bucks that badly.

 

I can respect this much more than a bunch of posh critics praising this kinda shit as the best thing ever. But please, tell me your name is Igor and you always wear a black suit and have very thin, white hair.

 

I sure as hell aspire to that level of greatness but I gotta train up still. Only 100 more viewings of Titicut Follies to go!

 

Movie night when?

 

Tim and Eric's billion dollar movie only got walk outs cause it sucked.
But as an Adult Swim fan boy I may need to see this.

 

Doesn't "kuso" mean "shit" in Japanese?

Accurate, I guess.

 

I couldn't even make sense of the trailer. Everything about this film seems so bizarre. I imagine that's what they were going for. I didn't even have a chance to really register what crossed my eyes.
