BoonDock Saints in Theaters...

"you stupid motherfuckers are just elitist contrarions who say they don't like anything that has very broad "underground" buzz (major label/OC indie like DCFC and Franz or "napoleon dynamite" are other examples) because it makes these self-obsessed hipsters look so uncool to accept such pop culture ephemera that people with generally bland tastes embrace as their "alternative" pet projects"


i going to have to remember this for the next DCFC post.

If you've lumped this movie in with action movies or mafia movies or even shoot em' up movies then no wonder you don't like it. You don't get it.

This movie is a dark comedy along the lines of Heathers, Very Bad Things, True Romance, Fargo or Dr. Strangelove. It is not a "balls to the walls" movie as one person suggested.

I've always thought this film was popular for the same reason Irish bars are popular. It's Irish people being a bit barmy and definitely being badass despite ineptness. Among many friends of mine, this movie is good simply because it melds hardcore Irish Roman Catholicism with violence against "the system".
