A Staggering work of Cinematic Genius about Talking Food
by
Bruce Robinson
Anytime I start talking movies with someone new they always
ask “What’s you’re favorite movie?” This question has vexed me for years. What
makes a favorite movie? Should I pick a movie from my childhood that I still
love? What about a really terrific example of cinema? What if I pick a movie
that I used to love but realize how poorly it has aged? These questions bump around
my brain endlessly every time I am faced with this dreaded question. This week
however I think I got my answer, Aqua Teen Hunger Force: Colon Movie Film for
Theatres. I was re-watching this cinematic disaster for what feels like the
thousandth time when I realized what a staple it was in my life. I could
literally watch this on repeat for days on end without a problem.
Now before the judgement comes out, let’s lay out the facts:
2.
This movie is not good, it is a mess
3.
This is probably no one else’s favorite film
So with those facts set out, why in the world would this be
my favorite film? Simple, it makes me happy. When I watch this I don’t worry, I
don’t think I just enjoy the ride. I
have owned this DVD for a decade which just adds to the joy it brings. I have
shared this movie with so many friends over the years and just watching it
alone in the dark makes me remember those times. Friends I haven’t seen in
years, that have passed away, and even the proprietor of this blog. Just
listening to the DVD intro music can transport me back to my tiny apartment in
college and all my worries wash away.
My favorite film is Aqua Teen Hunger Force: Colon Movie Film
for Theatres and I am not ashamed. As a matter of fact, no one should be
ashamed of what they enjoy. I realize that looking at the world with a critical
eye all the time can take the fun out of living. This film will help me
remember not to take the world so seriously all the time.
