Sundance: Daniel Radcliffe's Farting Corpse Movie Prompts Walk-Outs
Variety ^ | January 22, 2016 | Ramin Setoodeh

Posted on 01/23/2016 10:15:39 AM PST by EveningStar

One of the most anticipated movies at this year's Sundance Film Festival also turned out to be among the most divisive. On Friday afternoon, the Eccles Theater had to turn away hundreds of movie fans, and even a few industry VIPs, at the packed premiere of "Swiss Army Man," starring Daniel Radcliffe and Paul Dano.

But the bizarre fable about a lost man (Dano) who befriends a farting corpse (Radcliffe) could win the festival's award for the most walk-outs, as a continuous stream of audience members kept standing up and bolting for the door throughout the film.

Why did they walk out? Sounds about as intellectually stimulating as any other Sundance movie

It’s people like that who cause networks to chop up movies like Slap Shot and Blazing Saddles until there’s not much left to watch.

Now that Harry Potter is done, he has to take whatever work is available.

That’s entertainment? Apparently not, and considering the crowd that attends Sundance, I think we have a loser here.

“Why did they walk out? Sounds about as intellectually stimulating as any other Sundance movie”

Many years ago when I was low level intern for a certain studio, I was sent to Sundance to assist the studio buyer. Basically you have 500 movies shown in one night and there’s no way your indie movie(if you’re an amateur) can attract studio execs unless you get lucky or word of mouth.

This dreck of a movie got the attention and might have an idiot exec buying the rights just for the notoriety. Then again, Im proud to say that I have NOT seen one Potter movie, and knowing Radcliffe is a homo faggot makes my decision easier. I might actually be the only freeper who has never seen one Potter movie even though i have friends from WB who handed me the Blu rays over the years..

Growing up in the 80’s I was exposed at a very young age to what some might call the adult humor of Eddie Murphy, Richard Pryor, Dan Akroyd, George Carlin, etc. Age appropriate? No. However, one of the side effects was that by the 90’s when I was a teenager I had surpassed the bathroom humor of Jim Carrey and that type of schtick.

In a sentence, after growing up watching Full Metal Jacket, fart jokes are just not that funny.

Its hilariously huge and gratifyingly serious that its Harry Potter. Never seen the movies, never read the books.

HA HA !! I was right all along !!

I pity those Freeper parents who had to agree with their kids to watch those movies. I like how Watson turned out though (he he)

Heck, my Dad got me into Dragonball and my nephews now watch the sub versions of Dragonball Super.

Harry Potter farting. Just wait, it’ll get an award of some sort. Sometimes the black crowd almost has a point.

Of course, as a registered old fogey, I watch very few modern movies.

I don’t care if he’s a homofaggot as long as he can act and entertain like he did in the HP movies. And as Blazing Saddles proves, there are few things funnier than a well-timed fart. But apparently this POS doesn’t qualify on either count.
