Advanced Film Criticism, Monday, Period 1

"I'm going to be honest with you guys for a minute," James said, which may have been a weird way to start a bad movie class. "I think I've been taking it easy on you. I think we need to step it up this week and if you make it to next week, maybe you'll get a reward."

"So this week, we're watching don't really need a meta for this because no one would EVER app someone from The Oogieloves in the Big Balloon Adventure. You know how that name makes it sound like if you had a kid you might know what the hell an Oogielove is? You wouldn't. They were made up for this movie by people hoping to make the new most horrible marketable thing in the world, and they failed, and their failure is hilarious."

"So beyond the fact that the movie's going to make your brains melt and dribble out of your ears, the people who made this crap wanted kids to interact with it. So the Oogieloves are going to tell you to sing and dance and answer questions and crap," James said. "And yes, I expect you to do whatever the movie tells you to do. Anyone who keeps it up for the whole movie will get five dollars from me as a reward. I can't tell you to buy booze with it, but I will say that it's what I would do."

"So, let's start this fucking balloon adventure!"

Five minutes in, Flick already wanted to die. Ten minutes in, he was pretty sure he'd suffered permanent brain damage.

What the hell.
