'Myra Breckinridge is about as funny as a child molester'


I don't know why, but everytime I read the sentence in the title line, which Time magazine said about this film, I laugh uncontrollably for several minutes. I have not ever seen this film, and I know I shouldn't laugh about such an awful thing, but just the way it was worded is soo freaking hilarious xD

Time was absolutely right. The same can be said about a current piece of trash also put out by Fox - Deadpool!

It's a little gem of a movie, oddball, satiric, funny and surreal, showing as it does the two lives of a single person, who is bent on restructuring masculinity and femininity - and hence the world - into a new human breed of "fun-loving Amazons" (as the novel says). Grotesquely parodic of the best and the worst in Hollywood and America, it stands alone, not as a stinker, but as a unique, if not important, film.
