http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0094062/ - djskyler, on 07/20/2009, -1/+63In the IMDB User Comments from "zmaturin":
"This flick is nutty! It's about a suicidal, bug-eyed millionaire business consultant who decides to chuck it all and become a high-school guidance counselor. He spouts lots of nonsensical, preachy speeches that don't make a lick of sense, and with every line his twitchy face runs through dozens of emotions. We're never sure if he's happy, sad, sad but pretending to be happy, happy but pretending to be sad, surprised, angry, longing, or just gassy. It's a hilarious tour-de-force performance. At no point do we get a hold on his motivation or personality, learning what drives him, why he cares about kids, or why he has a death wish. Sometimes he's a jerk, sometimes we're supposed to like him. He's rich and influential, but also impotent and has fantasies about ghosts attacking him. He pays drug dealers to beat him.
Despite his suicidal tendencies, he's trying to help four troubled teens. The silliest subplot is the one about the blonde chick who lives in a room full of classy artwork and sleeps nude under gold sheets, but is unpopular because of the scar on her face- at least, that's what the movie says. I believe she's unpopular because she's really stupid and has an incredibly annoying Southern accent. Mr. Bug-Eyes gets the top fashion designers of the world to create a hot new look for her that will draw attention away from her "horrible disfigurement", but all they do it paste some of her hair over the scar. It's really absurd.
There's also a computer nerd, played by Michael Jackson's brother Marlon, and a blue-color guy whose father wants him to be an accountant, played by Micheal Douglas' brother Eric. The fourth student is a sexy gal using sex to get ahead in show business, but I don't know if she has a famous brother named Michael.
Other characters include Mr. Bug-Eyes' secretary, who seems like she should be his love interest but isn't. She's played by Ronee Blakley (the mother in "A Nightmare on Elm Street") and only appears on one set, like she was only there for one day of filming. In one scene she crosses her fingers and nods her head in a way that makes her look completely insane. In another she over-waters a plant while eavesdropping and mouths the word "F*ck" in a really funny way. We also meet the school principal and his secretary (who are never seen in the same frame with any other characters) and Mr. Bug-Eyes' adulterous wife, who turns some sheets into a fancy evening gown while yelling at Mr. Bug-Eyes.
This movie is so odd that I'm not doing it justice here. It's bizarrely paced and strangely photographed. Some scenes are too artsy, some are just incompetent. The art direction, music, and dialog are all crazy. But the icing on this cinematic crap cake is the aforementioned performance by writer-director Richard Horian as Mr. Bug-Eyes. It truly must be experienced to be believed." - bossm4n, on 07/20/2009, -1/+63Scenes like that really make me miss MST3K.
- flagg85, on 07/20/2009, -1/+42I through they were going to kiss, or the white guy was going to close his eyes and die, then the other guy would start crying and say something like "you did it brother, you did it".
- reiggin, on 07/20/2009, -1/+38According to the credits, it had not one, not two, but THREE prostitutes... how bad could it have really been?!?
- ani625, on 07/20/2009, -1/+35The black guy is Marlon Jackson, Michael Jackson's brother
- bizzywho, on 07/20/2009, -0/+29I think this scene will answer your questions on how he got those bruises. You've got to watch all the way to the end. This scene is coincidentally also the "Worst Villain in Movie History Ever!!!!":
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0yykeISNMF0 - xeriscaped, on 07/20/2009, -2/+31An inordinate amount of lameness.
- sharkydog, on 07/20/2009, -0/+28You could have been a director for almost every movie ever made in the 80's.
- ldbjr, on 07/20/2009, -1/+22I bet Netflix is gonna go WTF?!!! when they see the spike in traffic for this flick. I'm skimming through it now and noticed it's a Troma Team production, so that explains a lot.
- jrapp, on 07/20/2009, -1/+20It's on Netflix Watch Instatly!! http://www.netflix.com/Movie/Student_Confidential/ ...
- folkish, on 07/20/2009, -1/+18I was pretty good throughout, but even I got teary when he said, "put 'er there."
- kmb1794, on 07/20/2009, -0/+15"We're gonna beat him to death and shut him the ***** up"
- landmonster, on 07/20/2009, -1/+14You philistines don't know top class cinema when you see it.
- jrobbi, on 07/20/2009, -1/+13The face at 0:25 and 1:06 made me laugh. Where did they get these actors from? Awful.
- i4ybrid, on 07/20/2009, -0/+10The ending was so bad that it was kinda good. I couldn't stop laughing!
- Philistines, on 07/20/2009, -0/+10No, we don't.
- NoamChimpsky, on 07/20/2009, -0/+9Nope, that ending was perfect. How many *****, last second, cavalry-comes-in-and-saves-the-day endings do we really need? (See also: *****, last second, the-horrible-monster-isn't-really-dead-shocker endings.)
The ending was not only brutal, but genuinely shocking. When was the last time you could honestly say that about a movie? Considering how hopeless, gory, and claustrophobic the rest of the movie was, why should the ending be any different? Because it would have made you feel better leaving the theater? Not every ending has to be tied up in a nice pretty pink bow. - RadGnar, on 07/20/2009, -1/+10that handhold lasted just a bit to long for things to not get awkward.
- cntlscrut, on 07/20/2009, -0/+8Oh, I'm going to watch some MST3k now. Thanks for the morning inspiration.
- GeorgeStone2, on 07/20/2009, -0/+8He looked at the tear, this is gold.
- insomniacal, on 07/20/2009, -0/+8Looks like they spliced a bit of every take in there.
- Strongo, on 07/20/2009, -7/+15How is this worst than signs? Signs sucked at the end.
- Jingocat, on 07/20/2009, -0/+8Does the last half of Pineapple Express count as an ending?
- digginmygrave, on 07/20/2009, -0/+79.1/10 on IMDB with 12 votes, well worth noting that fact. The first user review also have me doubting that this flick deserves 9 stars :
"Are you interested in mime or ballet? Do you have a fondness for folklore or tales of the supernatural? Are you moved by the musical compositions of Ralph Vaughan Williams? If the answer to any of these is "yes", you may find some pleasure in this unusual film." - Dinner, on 07/20/2009, -0/+7Moreover, the whole last section of it after they got out was so kickass. Seeing all the monsters and everything. Whether or not the characters make it out alive is such an uninteresting, tired issue, may as well be up to a coin toss; but the way you got to see all of the hulking super-monsters and all that...pretty awesome.
- geodebug, on 07/20/2009, -0/+7They didn't even kiss. :-(
- zanvann, on 07/20/2009, -0/+7The guy in the video is Richard Horian, he also directed, wrote, edited, cast and composed the music to the film. This might explain a lot. He also directed a film called Williamstowne which somehow has 9.1/10 on IMDB.
- Mercedes383, on 07/20/2009, -0/+6No Country For Old Men? Damn that's a little harsh don't you think?
- kelyar, on 07/20/2009, -0/+6that was funny. even porn actors can act better
- sharkydog, on 07/20/2009, -0/+5If that guy kicked my ass, I'd have to kill myself.
- DirtPile, on 07/20/2009, -0/+5More!
- virtorio, on 07/20/2009, -0/+5Did you listen at all during the end of Contact?
- inactive, on 07/20/2009, -0/+5C'mon Digg, you know the words, sing it with me!
- inactive, on 07/20/2009, -0/+5...'Cause it's GUY LOVE!
- john2kx, on 07/20/2009, -0/+5Oscar-worthy.
- fishowtofwtr, on 07/20/2009, -1/+6In the words of Jon Lovitz ---- ACTING!!!
- captaingary, on 07/20/2009, -0/+5Well, at least it didn't end like The Sopranos, where it just cut to black in mid-sen█████████
- plhearn, on 07/20/2009, -0/+5Trust me. They don't make it any better.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0yykeISNMF0&fea ... - smacksaw, on 07/20/2009, -1/+5I don't think it was the worst ending ever, but for sure it was the most marbles ever stuffed into an Italian guy's mouth where he speaks and none fall out ever.
- inactive, on 07/20/2009, -1/+5Back in the day people corresponded with light signals.
- RiperSnifle, on 07/20/2009, -0/+4The Mist had a great ending. You sound like a Michael Bay and Uwe Boll fan.
- TehG3rman, on 07/20/2009, -0/+4Hmmm, It's missing something.
Oh!
http://bobsworthindustries.com/keyboardcat/index.p ... - aprilshowers, on 07/20/2009, -0/+4the Mist was just f-ed up. I thought about the ending to that movie for weeks. What would I have done? etc. I still cringe about it. but way better than this....this made me kinda want to take a shower.
- innovaciones, on 07/20/2009, -0/+4I wonder why is not in the IMDB credits... shame?
- JCougar, on 07/20/2009, -0/+4The music is phenomenal.
- Roguecop, on 07/20/2009, -0/+4That was so lame it was physically painful. Here's an elixir to help ease the pain... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TROhlThs9qY
- ZenMojo, on 07/20/2009, -0/+4And Sheriff wonders about the unchecked evil in the world. Where unchecked evil is the Spanish guy.
