***as written in the champs new contract, from now on, at least once a month the champ will directly respond to a question that was sent to the champs email address. the champ doesn’t really enjoy doing this, but since it’s in the champs contract, the champ will continue to do this because the champ has made it known that the champ will do things that the champ doesnt really enjoy doing, as long as there’s money involved. the champ is a whore. btw, if you haven’t noticed, theres also a clause in the champs contract disallowing pronouns.***

being that you’re a movie buff, i wanted to ask you a simple question: out of all the movies that you’ve seen, champ, which one had the strangest, most inane plot? i’m not asking for the worst movie, just a premise that made you wonder “what the f*ck were they smokingand where can i get some of that sh*t for myself??”

for me,it would have to be “underworld“. think about it: a bunch of underwear model slash werewolves and vampires running around with capes, diesel jeans, and doc martens, speaking in old english but with australian accents and shooting each other with assault rifles. just completely weird, but, for some reason, it kind of works.

be easy

–t.j.

thanks t.j.

as you know, the champ is an expert in myraid capacities. from how to achieve the perfect standing “o” to orbitofrontal cortex hypoactivation, i am the master of many domains, and one of said domains is obscure movie knowledge. if you haven’t seen it, you can bet that the champ has.

with that being said, after racking my brain and “teasing the midget” clearing my thoughts, one movie stands out more than anything else. one movie with a premise so absurd, so inane, so inconceivably inconceivable that…well…it just leaves you speechless.

this is a movie about an undead black former slave/serial killer who only attacks white women.

please re-read that last sentence three times, just so you fully grasp the levity of that statement.

go ahead. i’ll wait.

done yet? ok.

an undead black former slave/serial killer who was “murdered” 100 years ago by a swarm of bees that he still occasionally carries around in his throat. an undead black former slave/serial killer who they say will only appear if you say his name in a mirror five times, but somehow always finds a way to circumvent that little rule.

yes, faithful readers and concubines, i’m talking about the one and only…

candyman,

seriously…just take a moment to think about this. a black former slave serial killer who only haunts snizzles???? how the hell did this movie even get made? who green-lighted this sh*t? and how many wangs did the producer have to hold in his mouth to get this sh*t through?

can you imagine a producer going to an executive meeting trying to pitch this premise?

producer: “so, yeah…at the end of the flick, they’re gonna have a giant bonfire in the middle of cabrini-green, and i’d really like the blonde protagonist to be butt naked, and to get all of her hair burned off. that would be perfect”

exec one whispering in exec two’s ear: “who the hell is this guy, how the hell did he get into our building, and why haven’t we called security yet??”

exec two, whispering back: “ummm…this is the security guard. remember we said we’d allow him to pitch a movie to us as long as he kept the “sticky stockings incident” under wraps.”

exec one: “dammit! wouldn’t it just be cheaper to have him murdered???”

exec two: “we’ve already killed two security guys this quarter. a third might get the cops suspicious. your ass just needs to leave those baby goats alone? let him make his flick. with any luck, one of the coloreds in cabrini-green will murder him while they’re filming anyway”

how come i’ve never heard of anybody picketing a showing of “candyman“? “friends” would get protests and angry emails during their run because they didn’t have enough black characters (save for b.a.a.t. ***bad ass aisha tyler***), but a movie about a crazy black ex slave haunting white women somehow slips through the cracks like a fart in a stiff fall wind?

and, to make matters worse, the movie was actually scary, lol. sh*t, i’m 29 years old with a nice 403b and i’ll be a great uncle soon (seriously), and you still wont catch my black ass saying “candyman” five times in front of no freakin mirror, lol. i’m not taking that chance, i’m sorry. call me a b*tch if you like, but i’m just not too keen on getting impaled and disembowed by some 6’10 former slave thirsty for some white “gotdamn”

anyway though, excessively “gasfermating” joyous people of vsb, how would you have answered that question? whats the weirdest, strangest, and most inane movie you’ve ever seen and am i the only one still scared to say candyman five times in the mirror?

memento and the butterfly effect are two that spring to mind… the whole messing with the time/space continuum (pardon me, i just started watching heroes) makes my head hurt. memento was an excellent movie and guy pearce is a brilliant actor, but i hate when i don’t have a clear moment of clarity at the end of a movie where i can feel all smart and whatnot cos i understood what was going on.

the butterfly effect was just nuts – how the heck does a baby strangle itself in the womb with its umbilical cord? that’s just freaky and wrong. i call more people for ashton kutcher.

memento is actually one of my favs as well, even though you hafta suspend reality a bit too much to follow the flick.

“Spun”, (with Brittany Murphy, John Leguizamo, Mickey Rourke,, etc.), this movie was f*cking bananas, but I guess what would I expect from a movie about meth dealers and users. This movie is a two hour long drug trip fo sheezy…..

also honorable mentions (but all movies that i actually like):
The Funniest outrageous plot twists with bad cinematography award goes to “Clerks”
The awful weird plot with great cinematogaphy and famous rappers award goes to “Belly”

yeah for me that award either goes to Higher Learning or She Hate Me. and actually, i think She Hate Me is the runaway winner. i mean you had lesbians, Congress, the SEC, the pharmaceuticals industry, suicide, stock fraud, diabetes, bad acting, Q-Tip, and the completely unrealistic union of two lesbians deciding to live their lives with a man as the father of their kids. oh yes, and Watergate. who could forget Watergate making an appearance.

and um, Belly is a great movie. except its not a movie, its an extended play music video. thank you.

She Hate Me is about EVERYTHING! I still likedid it though.

I have never seen Candyman. Growing up in Chicago in the 90s, Cabrini Green was a horror movie already. I coulda watched the news for that. Never realized the plot was that insane! Hollywood slips in it’s commentary about the percieved Black male tendency to prey upon White women, and we don’t even notice.

lol i loved sweeney todd, although i won’t lie, i burst out laughing in the middle of the theatre when johnny depp started singing… which was awkward as i saw it in one of those shady cinemas only old folk seem to frequent and they sell “brownies” instead of popcorn and nachos. still yet to see there will be blood, although i heard it’s some crazy a$$ sh*T.

i SO agree with you on the Candyman, Champ – the minute you asked the question, that flick sprung to mind!

i remember it came out when i’d just arrived in the US for college, and i remember watching the previews and wondering ‘is this loosely based on some kind of historical event, but then got horridly twisted in the hollywood interpretation? is there any merit in waching this, just to get a bit of insight on african-american history – even if it means i’ll have to research the real story properly later, coz the way it’s coming out on screen is just so bizarre???’

in the end, i never did watch it – but caught it on TV one night – 25 minutes into it, i switched channels, my brain was getting so scrambled by the scariness and lack of logic of it all.. and the candyman was SCARY!!! where’s that actor now, i wonder…

Black Snake Moan with Samuel Jackson! Made in 2006.

Damn it had a strange plot. Set in the South in the 50′s or 60′s, sex freaky white girl get the crap beat out of her and left for dead at the end of a road, which leads to Jackson’s property. Rather than call 911 or the cops when he finds her, he brings her into her house until she’s conscious, nurses her back to health, but ties a friggin’ chain around her after she tries to get her freak on with him. His intent: to cure her of her lack of self-control.

I almost turned the channel because the plot was so unbelievable, but the great acting held me hostage. Glad I did. The movie worked and got me thinking how some of the most audacious shyt people do can work when things go right. Enjoyed the blues music too.

When I first saw the ads for “Black Snake Moan”, I was automatically afraid for this fictional Black man who had a white girl chained up in his house. I could tell they were in the south by the way they were all sweating. I mean, I was immediately afraid for this man’s well-being and I didn’t know anything about the premise, plot or anything.

It took me a long time to get around to watching that film, but when I did, it wasn’t horrible and the Black man didn’t die a horrible death at the hands of an angry lynch mob like I’d feared he would.

You f*cking fag with your f*cking little faggy gloves.

Doorman: I know… you’re right. I’m so sorry, I f*ckin’ hate this job. I don’t want to be the one to pass judgement, decide who gets in. Sh*t makes me sick to my stomach, I get the runs from the stress. It’s not cause you’re not hot, I would love to tap that a**. I would tear that a** up. I can’t let you in cause you’re old as f*ck. For this club, you know, not for the earth.

Debbie: What?

Doorman: You old, she pregnant. Can’t have a bunch of old pregnant b*tches running around. That’s crazy, I’m only allowed to let in five percent black people. He (the manager) said that, that means if there’s 25 people here I get to let in one and a quarter black people. So I gotta hope there’s a black midget in the crowd.

Doorman: You old, she pregnant. Can’t have a bunch of old pregnant b*tches running around. That’s crazy, I’m only allowed to let in five percent black people. He (the manager) said that, that means if there’s 25 people here I get to let in one and a quarter black people. So I gotta hope there’s a black midget in the crowd.

his delivery of the lines make it even more funny. he’s up there with patrice o’neal on my favorite fat black comedians list.

Black Snake Moan, a angry old black man chains up a freaky white girl and then parades her through town, what Jewish Movie Exec. let that happen. Eventhough Sam Jackson is always entertaining yelling all types of sh*t, the move didn’t make sense.

We did the Candyman thing in 8th grade– in the bathroom during Athletics. Funny as hell. Imagine 20 13 year old girls running full speed out of a bathroom after someone swore she felt something touch her leg…lol

Movies, I’ve sat through some truly retarded movies. I try to block them out, so let me think…

Napoleon Dynamite. After everyone told me I just HAD to see it (which is why I don’t listen to most people when they tell me this). Now I can appreciate completely off the wall movies but that ish was stupid. I think I only laughed twice and when I gave the movie back to my homegirl she was sooooo disappointed that I didn’t like it.

Honorable Mention: Vanilla Sky
WTF was that?! Watch the whole movie and that kat was already dead? Man please…
He had already frozen his corpse and was living through some kind of extended life fantasy package? Boooo!!!!

I once saw this movie called Hypercube where there was like 7 ppl trapped in a room. In this room had six dours that lead to other rooms, and they were runnin through all the rooms trying to find an exit. Then the rooms started to follow them and implode. Then they started killing each other but more of them would pop up, like duplicates and sh*t. Then there was a blind asian chick that was ridiculously annoying.

I also think that all of the Saw movies were pretty ridiculous. The idea that some old man could mastermind some nutty sh*t like this and not get his arse whooped. And the fact that I dont think there is an end in sight.

it was the weirdest thing ever. So this room was outside the time/space continuum. So rooms started to repeat themselves. So it gave the appearance that the rooms were following them. Then when the whole thing started to implode, the rooms became killers. Slicing ninjas up and what not. But it didnt matter cuz one of ur duplicates would pop up a few rooms down the line.

Pulp Fiction, which is prolly one of my favorites, is the most irritating, exciting, annoying movies ever. To this day, NO one can give me a synopsis on it that makes sense, ya’ just know that it’s cinematic goodness.
No Country For Old Men? now that may fit into the same category…but not so much on the goodness. Dude with the killer fire extinguisher and the d*ck head haircut!? straight banana bread!
When I first met my girl, she made me watch that stooopid movie ,Open Water, when the movie was over, I wanted her to not call me ever again for making me sit through that crap…but after her official microphone check that night, I can watch a loop of the closing credits to that movie for an entire day!

By the way for a movie to be ridiculous to me, it really has to offend every logical sense I have in my body, plus it might get bonus points if its a big studio, big budget movie. One of these sense offending big budget movies is…FaceOff.

In all seriousness, think about this for a second. Transferring the faces of an FBI agent and a criminal, yet the dudes wife can’t tell who’s who? Same voice? No scars? Facial expressions? Vocabulary? huh? I’m sitting in the movies (I saw this in theaters unfortunately) and I’m one step away from screaming at the other people in the movies. Like DO Y’ALL SEE THIS SH!T!!!???!! I felt like I was in the twilight zone episode, where I wake up and I’m the same yet everyone else is different…and dumber.

The strangest movie I’ve ever seen is A Scanner Darkly…if you haven’t see it, see it so you too can be confused. It has Winona Ryder, Keanu Reeves, Robert Downey Jr, and Woody Harrelson in it.

It’s a cartoon but it’s not…you spend the whole movie looking at other people saying WTF…but you can’t stop watching.

I will give a gold star to anyone who gets it and can explain it…and not from reading the reviews, which also are strange.

I always confuse Hitman and Shoot Em Up…but anyways, I got hype and tried to watch Shoot Em Up this weekend on demand.

The opening scene was Clive Owens shooting bad guys (that he apparrently didn’t know) all while kneeling over a pregnant woman who had just been beaten and was about to go into labor….

…then he had the nerve to deliver the baby, I turned it off immediately.

wait, lest we forget him shooting the oil barrel then, using the spilled oil to slide across the ground shooting people.

This was all in the first 3 minutes of the movie…c’mon man.

let us itemize the ridiculousness
1. dude sitting on a bench waiting for something munching on a HUGE A$$ CARROT
2. on screen runs pregnant/in labor woman being chased by a hitman– why, who knows?
3. ‘protagonist’ gives that “this sh*t AGAIN” look to the camera and runs off to save said woman
4. woman is successfully capped by hitmen, but not before “the oil barrel body count accumulation” and baby being delivered and taught to suckle on lactating DYING mommy
5. protagonist has bright idea… drop baby off at brothel which features a prostitute who caters to men who have a ‘thing’ for drinking random br3astmilk and therefore is still lactating herself
6. hitmen not satisfied with capping mom… baby needs to die to0. they pursue and smart-ass hitman played by Paul Giamatti sniffs dead mommy’s boob, smells br3astmilk and somehow figures out baby is with a lactating prostitute.

Oh… this is the first 13 minutes of the movie… I’ma stop here. I’m losing my appetite and I made BOMB spaghetti for lunch today…

don’t get me wrong, I’m a chick that loves action flicks and adores when the body count gets excessive… but LACTATING PROSTITUTES??!!

Where did they get that idea? Are there people out there who actually DO this???!?!!?

**I will give the writers kudos though, they did have the obiligatory HIV-can-be-spread-through-br3astmilk-but-this-prostitute-is-clean dialogue… I was worried about that for a sec. You can’t go sucking down any old br3astmilk all willy-nilly. Sucking b00bies, sure, but don’t drink the milk!

i got y’all ninjas topped. perhaps the actual worst movie of all time (Nurse Betty just got bumped since i forgot about this joint) was

Caveman’s Valentine starring Samuel Jackson. i can’t even do this f*ckery justice trying to explain the plot…so here’s the wikipedia writeup:

A former family man and pianist studying at Juilliard music school, Romulus Ledbetter (Samuel L. Jackson) is now suffering from paranoid schizophrenia and living in a cave in Inwood Park, New York. He believes that a man named Cornelius Gould Stuyvesant is controlling the world with rays from the top of the Chrysler Building, and that his mind is inhabited by moth-like angels. On Valentine’s Day he discovers the frozen body of a young man, Scotty Gates (Sean MacMahon), left in a tree outside his cave. The police, including Romulus’s daughter Lulu (Aunjanue Ellis), dismiss the man’s death as accident however, a homeless ex-lover of Scotty tells Romulus that he was murdered by the famous photographer David Leppenraub (Colm Feore). Determined to discover the truth behind Scotty’s death and prove his worth to his daughter, Romulus manages to get an invitation through a former friend to perform one of his compositions at Leppenraub’s farm. What unfolds thereafter is a twisted tale of mystery, deception and a man’s struggle against his own mind.

Really she looks like she’s from a catalog add back when Jim Crow would c0ck off @ my people. Then again maybe I’d like to hit it real good one time for all of those who wanted to and couldn’t. See what I do. I need a decisiveness class.

i dont know if i’m mad or glad that you’re the first one to say anything about her, lol

2. burn after reading-i really wanted to like this, i even chuckled every now and then, but i left the movie just shaking my head wondering why

i thought of some more make-me-say-hmmmmm movies. not completely inane or stupid plots, but overall just missed the mark (to me):

-Vantage Point. the premise was interesting and had such great potential. and then… it ended. maybe i missed something?
-For Queen & Country. i just don’t know. couldn’t find the point or motivation behind this film.
-Eastern Promises. again, couldn’t understand the motivation or point.
-The Diving Bell and Butterfly (french film). granted, it was based on a true story, but it just ended with no resolution or reconciliation. take creative license and spure up the story! maybe i’m too much of a romantic.

419 Barry Badthernathy October 28, 2008 at 1:43 pm

Okay Eastern Promises was one of the most gangster medieval iceberg blooded flicks. You got to know something about russian and balcany countries gangstars n jail life. This movie was close to the godfather/donnie brasco in that respect.

lol well it’s a foreign film–they aren’t everyone’s cup of tea, black white or other. my mom actually saw it and recommended it to me. i think it was cool with the whole blinking eye communication and what not. but i was like this dude is letting his ex-wife take care of him and he’s still in love with his s!ut lover and tells her so in front of the ex?? balls, i tell ya. and the fact he just dies of pneumonia at the end was like d@mn. i felt he had a lot of apologizing and repenting to do before he said good bye cruel world.

not sure if anyone’s mentioned this (there’s too many posts!), but candyman was based off a short story by Clive Barker (Hellraiser series) where the Candyman was actually a white dude haunting a british tennement. some nosey broad ends up being his victim, but she’s not really all that more special than anyone else he’s murdered.

the weirdest movie i’d ever seen (mind you, i was a film major) was Gummo. hard to find but seriously completely nonsensical, nonsequitor filmmaker by a doped-up daydreamer with too much time and money on his hands.

p.s. try seeing Candyman at ten years old and realizing dude looks just like your Uncle Kenneth.

I’m not really one to go in on a movie cause
- the acting was bad
- I don’t “feel” for the characters
- there were plot holes (non-existent plot)

If I wanted the truth, i’d go the library. It’s a made up story. These things didn’t really happen. So who am I to make a fiction comport with reality?

But everyonce in a while a flick will come along that even my low standards has to say hell no to.

“I think i’m gonna cheat on my wife” – something like that, starring Chris Rock.

That movie shoulda ended with him still smiling despite the facts that a divorce court judge gave his wife 90% of his assets and Meagan Goode still ended up boinking some c-grade neo-souler.

There’s no way that a sane man would have said no to that. 100 percent of men in the same situation would have bust up in that raw.

The Cube was stupid and confusing. I saw this movie called the Russian Ark with my wife that was also pretty hard to follow. Much of the movie was in Russian and it was shot in one take. It’s supposed to be a classic but I just found it boring and confusing.

A mockumentary about Jackie Washington a DIVA extraordinaire it made me cry with laughter! With such lines as Get me a Latte, make it a double Entendre (Jackie’s daughter) and People DIE on Jackie Washington Day delivered by Whoopi Goldberg who plays her jealous sister.

The movie is CHALKED full of cameos, Jennifer Lewis as Jackie and Tim Curry as the British reporter narrating the mockumentary this movie is CLASSIC and just INSANE. But it works

It really isn’t inane more than PURE hilarity. Such a classic that so few have seen. SHAME! http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0202409/quotes
