Most of his movies are stupid and brainless, and I love to just watch it by myself and laugh without judgment. Life is already serious and hard enough, sometimes when I get home I just want to sit on my couch, put my brain in a jar, and laugh mindlessly at the silly jokes on my TV. (Grown Ups is my favorite movie of his btw)

Movies for fun. Some of my favorite movies are ones that could never be 'high concept' or whatever it means when you are trying to make something of greatness or idk intellectual...? Mister Lonely, Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call, all fan remakes and original Batman movies (see The Black Bat), Five-O and every thing on Tubi's "Black Independent Cinema" collection, all of Wang Po's movies, anything that isn't quite as genre as B-Movie, but someone's commitment to making the movie they knew was good. I think people call this category "post-irony" where the creator takes something which is not serious very seriously, but only because they love it. Many foreign film industries have a home for these silly ones built into their orthodox canon, Bolly/Nollywood or Taiwanese film, where it's okay to make a movie about Baby Police in a way that is Legit but also Because Movies Are Fun. But in the US no one watches comedy movies because people act like they are in comedies, rather than take the sillyness seriously. Landing jokes versus playing. Campyness rather than drama and bombastic glory. It feels so good to take pleasure in the fearlessness of many "silly" movies daring to tell stories that are neither subtle nor smarter than a good time.

Hayley Williamsโ quarantine project is a blessing to us all. The album is beautiful and completely homemade, which makes it even more incredible. Production is great, her voice is amazing, and itโs โ almost โ a one-woman show (she had people help her with some parts but stillโฆ)
