    hey so obviously this isn't like a normal video or anything. I just wanted to make a quick little one about Bottoms because this movie is NOT getting as much publicity as it should. It's not meant to be a review or a video essay or whatever. I just really liked the movie.

And it's especially worse for queer people outside of the west where their very existence is illegalized. Just because you don't see it in your radar, doesn't mean it never exist.

    I saw this twice in theaters (Chicago showed up for this movie) and I'll admit...I was probably the oldest person in the theater (Mid-30s surrounded by college aged folks). But man was it a great time, both times. People who were there to enjoy the movie and did.
    In a lot of ways, the movie feels like an updated Strangers with Candy, the show from the early 2000s with Amy Sedaris and Steven Colbert. And while the humor of that show is very of its time (that ironic racism, ableism, sexism that was very popular) it had an absurdist bent in its humor that is updated, elevated and executed so well in Bottoms. Actively encourage it, will be watching again, always look in the background for even more gags. Just a packed comedy that, as you put it, knows what it wants to be and then is that.

    7:16 I think I can answer that without any special knowledge. The director told him, "Act like you're eating, but don't swallow the food. We don't want to replace it for a second take." Guy-in-the-background just took that literally and had fun with it.

    This movie is such a validating example of how queer main characters can do queer things and have that be ‘the whole point of the movie,’ but still be universally relatable, entertaining, and appeal to a wide audience. When I was growing up, queer people were starving for any kind of positive representation in media. I had members of my own family telling me ‘idc if there are queer characters in movies but being queer can’t be the whole point that’s just annoying.’ While I was desperate to see queer characters being queer onscreen. This movie does that. And it’s fantastic. I think it’s an instant mainstream classic comedy. And it’s so nice to finally be able to talk to my straight friends and coworkers about a queer film we both saw and enjoyed independently.
