Reefer madness Review

Reefer Madness

This film is supposed to be camp and a great flick to watch when the munchies come calling at dubie time. I think it instead is the anti-thesis of camp and just an overall awful film with limited imagination and not the least bit entertaining or scary. I can't imagine F. Scott Fitzgerald lighting up a fatty and having a second thought after reviewing this sensational pandering to the morality of a bygone era that has attempted a recent comeback. Overkill of the message that weed destroys the lives of all involved ran rampat throughout culminating in the woman diving out of a closed window when she wasn't even high and the blond dude gone mad from guilt and perhaps a bad case of overdrama and stunted script writing. The director was a great artisan who mastered the skill of being a universe away from subtle. The archetype of this film is obvious a young corruptible All-American boy who gets high and corruptible but I think the best filmmaker's of this era who chose to fore go the route of DMV quality films probably found this film just as moronic as we did. The original Scarface (1932 by Howard Hawks) is a definite example of the complexity of spirit and powerful emotive filmmaking of this era.

I think that the spirit of our group should be to be entertained and be enhanced by the experience that art of film can bring to our lives. Life is short and we should all spend time finding films that we may know or have not seen that are critical, well done and thoughtful though we are all of varying taste and sympathies. Let's all try to put our best foot forward in our film selections and do not be afraid to google reviews on chosen films to find the most interesting instead of basing it on a title. We will never get our hour to two hours back so let's make it worth while.

Thanks U all and U the man Brother B! U too Dong. All of U the man or woman!

The message has been heard and read. Can we finally move on? The themes and theories of this 'film' have been through the wringer. May this relic RIP and never be heard from again. Can I get an AMEN?

It amazes me that you use so many words to say very little. We all
know you did not like the film selection. That was clear from the
first paragraph in your first post yet you continue to send messages
saying you didn't like the film. Is this just an excuse for you to use
the terms relic and wringer. If you must continue to post please add
something new to the discussion. All I hear from you is this old movie
stinks. Ok I will say Amen to you, now will you stop saying this old
movie stinks?

You, fearless leader bring nothing to my last posting. Look how many words you use to say that I have nothing to say. I have not stated ONCE that this movie did stink in my last posting.You imply things from previous listings, what I suggest to you is that you address what is written on the latest posting only.You have insulted me for the last time, covertly or overtly! I will no longer take insults that fly in my face at breakneck speeds.Take this for what it's worth.

"May this relic RIP and never be heard from again." How is this not saying, "I this old moive stinks."

"The message has been heard and read. Can we finally move on? The themes and theories of this 'film' have been through the wringer." But you never really addressed any theories or themes in your posts. All you did was give your review of the movie. Then you went on and on about how it was a waste of your time. I would have appreciated anything like that from you. If you would tell me why this movie bothered you so much I would have even accepted that. The poor acting is a given even the bad plot. We all knew this was a PSA. I don't need to hear this is a bad movie from you. Tell me why it was so bad. Tell me what bothers you so much about the movie. Are you insulted that someone would try to past this off as real cenima. Then say that? Were you troubled by the inaccuracies in the film. Then say something about that. I know this is a bad film. I don't need you to tell me that. Don't just mention your problems with the film in one phrase statements. What I wanted you to do was watch the film pick up on a few things in the film then write something on that. I don't want a book report of the movie.

It is how you interpret things. If I flat out say the movie stinks, I will say it. This adds on value to your diluted cause. All I said was move in. YET, you take shots at every little word that is written. I will stir the pot and cause anarchy! ANARCHY! Hey OZ, you need to move on, I am.
