Weird: The Al Yankovic Story (2022)
One of the best uses of satire/cringe humour
Cringe humour doesn't mean that the movie is bad or something. Sometimes (like it is the case with Watamote and some monty python skits) it can also mean a humour meant to make a fun of a a certain subject, whether it is the character or a television/film trope
WEIRD does it with typical clichés found in modern biopic films. And it does it so damn well. Many people (including me) find a lot of biopic films cringe and what this movie pretty much does is turning that trope into a hypebole, a caricature of sorts. I think that the fact that scriptwriters did 0 research on Al's life makes it 10 times better
I won't spoil the film, just go and watch it you won't be disappointed.
Suzumiya Haruhi no shôshitsu (2010)
Holy shart
This is one of the best films I have watched in a while.
One of the things that I really like about it is it's originality. Personally I have never seen a film similar to this one before.
If some of you want to watch it, I recommend watching the whole series firist. Yes even the full endless 8 thing. Film's way better with the setup.
