BAD BAD BAD BAD BAD BAD BAD BAD BA DBAD BAD BAD BA DBBAD.
Want to see a good "shock" film. Try "Freddie Got Fingered", it's actually more simular than you would think...except, instead of lamely splicing scenes together in an obvious way that only fools idiots. (The Pseudo-Artistic below average intellect people who are so stupid that they think they're smart), he actually touches the cow's penis and the movie actually does work on a comedic level. (ESPECIALLY if you watch it with old people!)

This movie was stupid and had no purpose.

I find it funny that the OP makes a thread calling surrealism stupid, then proceeds to extol the virtues of a surrealistic movie. kinda makes you think.................................................................................................................................

How do dumb people managed to accidetnally see this movie anyway? I had to go to a museum to see it and people who like Tom Green are complaining about it when I get back.

wow killerlamb... surrealism happens to be an amzing form of art. Not only have you critized Dali, an amazing painter, but many many artists, including Walt Disney, who Dali said was on of the only American surrealists. AND in another discussion board you bash Thom Yorke and Radiohead. When you do something that's amsolutly amazing and are respected and influence many other artists, can you critise others and still then, what gives you the right? Sure your allowed an opinion, but know what you are talking about when you think you can give amazing artists a piece of your mind. There is nothing wrong with being an intellectual.

You people all sound exactly the same. If you couldn't work the word 'pretentious' or the prefix 'pseudo' into your writing, you'd have nothing to say at all.

Pretty sure this is a joke... at least I hope it is

And this is why people like you don't like films like Un Chien Andalou.

Movies like Freddy Got Fingered is marketed to the lazy-brained, drooling idiots we call the average citizen.

Move on, please.

Wow, there some pretentious losers here.

I would argue that Un Chien Andalou and Freddy Got Fingered are both fantastic examples of surrealism.

Contrast with Tim & Eric Awesome Show, Great Job!, Xavier: Renegade Angel and Wonder Showzen.

There's the retarded group who think Un Chien Andalou is stupid and pointless and that Freddy Got Fingered is way better as a 'shock' film. Then the hilariously pretentious group who think Freddy Got Fingered is low-brow trash and Un Chein Andalou is a surrealist masterpiece. Sorry, but you're all dumb.

Freddy Got Fingered is absurdist, not surrealist.

Freddy Got Fingered = stupid, but still more intelligent than killerlamb

The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world he wasn't a great big pansy.
