DIRTBAGS: EVIL NEVER FELT SO GOOD

 

So the opening of this movie bears this disclaimer: "This movie contains material that may offend gay cry babies." Soak that in for a little bit if you want to. Did you cringe or roll your eyes or just nod in disbelief? Yeah, so did I. I'm not the PC police (my liberal use of the word fuck and cunt in conversation is notorious) here but when a movie (even if it's an alleged comedy) begins with the disclaimer that it will offend "gay cry babies," well then you've officially lost my confidence. Forget conventional beginnings of movies, Bill Zebub asks? Well, if you're trying to turn off all respective audiences, then job well done, sir. At almost two hours (!), Bill Zebub continues his mad experiment on human patience by examining the dregs of humanity hence the title.

This is allegedly a comedy, but all I sat through was endless monotonous dialogue featuring star Bill Zebub (playing himself! Goody!) trade dialogue with his co-star where they chuck zingers like "nigger" at us and flash the bird at the camera, all the while trying to explore how utterly offensive they can be in the process. So we see two homosexual stereotypes dancing to gay music, uh--we see an African American jive talking costumed drug dealer who the house owner is worried will spray graffiti on his walls,

 

Bill Zebub demonstrates his comedic talent by chucking donuts in his mouth and screaming "I'm blind!" when they hit his eye. I mean the Farrelly Brothers were never as good as this guy is. Not at all. And seriously, can we stop pretending calling people "gay" is still edgy and rebellious, please? It's not, it's just... desperate. The inkling of a plot I got from the nonsense is that Bill is dating a girl who is still attached to a jealous ex-boyfriend. We're supposed to believe Bill is this bullied schmuck considering he's huge, has long hair and is erratic every second he's on-screen, and he decides it's time to stop being pushed around. And then there's dialogue like "Hey, did you miss me?" "I never aimed for you." Guffaw. Chuckle. Laughing yet? Let me tell you comedy is tough, it's impossible to put on page and translate on screen and Bill Zebub proves it with a "comedy" that takes many great pains in not being funny at all and barely watchable. But there are some genuinely hot women, so there's that.

I don't know, maybe I'm not getting the damn joke, and there's something in Bill Zebub's movies that everyone is keen to that I'm missing, but honestly I don't want to find out. Because once I do, then I'll have lost all hope for my mental well being.
