I'm convinced that there is something there in primitive infancy. Like the very beginnings of a diamond. With time and exploration, maybe I'll find it. There is something so fucked up about Freddy Got Fingered that it transcends mere stupidity. It's so completely awful on the surface, worse than any Uwe Boll movie I'd say, but I refuse to believe that during the production, the writers, director and producers could have been blind to this fact. It's as if it were written idiots huffing spray paint over one excessive weekend orgy of inhalants. Someone must have looked at the dailies, the script pages, whatever and declared, "This is seriously retarded. What am I doing here?" Unless! There's something there, hidden beneath the surface. A maddening genius of dadaism. Surrealism for surrealism's sake. A completely misunderstood movie that will one day be rediscovered by fanatical bad movie buffs. I'd like to be that buff.

Unless!

I’d like to be that buff.

I'm sure someone will have me committed as soon as its published.
