Originally posted on IMDB. Assuming I'll have to delete it due to trolling, but I'll leave it here. If I knew how to do a podcast, I'd do so (No, I wouldn't).
I consider myself a KS fan, but without any exaggeration, this was the single worst movie I've ever endured. Not a single laugh, scare, flinch or original thought for that matter. Like the sarcastic Mr. Smith, I too have convinced myself that celebrity takes on an aura that is unexplained. The only logical reason or this movie being made, was for KS to prove to the world that the little guy can turn into the big guy and poke fun of all of them.
While I find podcasts ridiculously silly, I don't dispute they've become an interesting medium.They've allowed some a freedom that radio and television doesn't, but they also (generally) turn into childish rants, proving that delivering a concise message isn't as easy as it looks. While I understood each and every gag and reference in the film, I don't get the necessity for it. A podcast in itself pokes fun at the silliness of the world, so to make a movie poking fun of that is not only superfluous, but in a sense, makes fun if the exact people who appreciate the medium. While I hardly think it was Smith's intent to ridicule those who have made him famous, he achieves just this. A sad film, about sad people, enjoyed by, I assume, the like.
