You’ll be sleepin’ with the fishes, see…

I cannot begin to express the humor that was just bleeding from the screen when I watched the movie Orgazmo last night with Rob and Andrew. Sure, it looks bad. And it IS as bad as it looks, but that’s what makes it probably one of the better comedies that I have ever seen. Raunchy? Sure. Bashing the mormons? Of course. One of those movies where nothing like this could ever happen? Other than a porno becoming the top selling movie of all time, it’s fully ridiculous. But therein lies the inherent joy and wit of the movie. It’s supposed to be stupid. Supposed to make you think little and laugh much. And it does a brilliant job.

The only beef I have with the movie is that it got screwed at the ratings board. For it to be classed NC-17, it really did nothing to deserve it. Hardly any nudity, not too many blatantly distasteful passages that you would be able to get at the age of 12, and I’ve seen more gratuitousness in an R movie, albeit this was purely sexual, whereas the R movie may be totally violence. This gets me on another rant about the fact that in America, violence is cool and sex is not, and the society mirrors it (even though I do NOT believe that we mirror certain people or things, just that we mirror the overall picture of what we see). In Europe, it’s the other way around, and they have some of the lowest crime rates, even in sexual crimes.

Damnit, I got sidetracked for the past hour on wild goose chases. I might resume it later, just best to publish it now.
