Shoplifters of the World

i don’t care if the acting is ass or if the lines were corny, just the fact that this movie exists makes it my favorite
and it wasn’t even THAT bad, the references lowkey gave me chills sometimes, but maybe i’m just biased

This was abysmal 

I don’t mind things being on the nose in terms of films clearly being made for fans of a certain interest/band/art style etc however this was nauseatingly cheesy, in a film where a main character takes a stand against overly cheesy and cliched music. 

This was less made for Smiths fans and more for Morrissey to appease him to get the rights to the soundtrack. 

The most convincing performance, albeit only decent performance is from metaller Flash Thompson who does all the heavy lifting for the message of the film. I did like his line about “idols” aging and disappointing people which was a clear reference to modern Morrissey and his ability to show you can listen to more than one artist.

Past his self awareness everyone else is a caricature, from Siouxie and Robert smith making out in a shower, drag grace jones being a bouncer, “jocks” and Madonna cosplayers. The subtly of lyric referring dialogue is also nauseating.

I unfortunately ate this up, however every time there was a lyric drop, a year was removed from my lifespan.

i find it very hard to believe that anyone in this cast has ever heard of the smiths let alone actually listen to them

"This station vomits cheez whiz all over Denver"

So the boy from Boyhood forces Joe Manganiello at gunpoint to play The Smiths on the radio all night as a response to the band breaking up? Cinema is peaking I guess

After this and Blinded by the Light a couple years ago, I'm worried that we're only a few short decades away from movies about crazed One Direction fans crying when Zayn left
