    Torturous. Sluggish, life-draining, pretentious, and bizarre. Every single line of dialogue reveals previously undiscovered laws of human speech.  By violating them. 

    And the music. It’s rare that a score worsens a movie. And this movie leaves so few opportunities for worsening, being, very nearly, as bad as possible. But this score slithers and burrows into the last remaining moments available for being dragged down and does so, without mercy. It’s not that the score ruins these moments— how can you…

    The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension

    ★★

    This is my OC Buckaroo Banzai. He's half Japanese, and he's a neurosurgeon and an aerospace engineer and he's in a rock band and a physicist and he invents things and fights crime with his friends who are also in the band and he plays three instruments Original character do NOT steal!!!!

    Every second of this feels like you've flipped channels right in the middle and missed 20 minutes of crucial exposition, or perhaps that there's four or five movies…

    The review section has decided that the only reason to dislike this movie is to because you are a heterosexual husk.

    Camp, imo, is like action scenes or musical numbers. They’re great but they cannot overcome basic problems of storytelling. Why should I put up with hollow, meaningless camp when straights don’t put up with hollow, meaningless fight scenes? Okay fine I guess they do, but do you really wanna be like the straights?

    It’s always tempting, when defending a pretty but idiotic object to clap your hands over your ears and scream, “YOU DON’T GET IT YOU DON’T GET IT” but, like, c’mon.
