neutral · AI labelView post →ok you know what fuck it I'm writing Weekend at Bernie's 3, the principal actors are all still alive, it will be a very dark gothic horror film
neutral · AI labelView post →It's been about three decades, so who's going to have the audacity to finally step up and make a third WEEKEND AT BERNIE'S movie? Same body. Present Day. They pass it off as a career senator.
neutral · AI labelView post →No one talks about it, but "The Odyssey" and "Weekend At Bernie's" are basically the same movie.
neutral · AI labelView post →While the first movie will leave you with sneaking suspicions, Weekend at Bernie's II strongly confirms that the two main characters are secretly gay for each other.
neutral · AI labelView post →re: Antifascism I like the idea of instead of using "antifa", say, or write, antifascist out fully. That would put the billionaires, Nazis, and other fascists, in the silly position of trying to proscribe antifascism. They look silly enough propping up Dementia Donald, wheeling him out, and letting him go all Aqualung on Kate Middleton... SMH It's a bad sequel to #WeekendAtBernies. Anyway, yeah. Just call it by its full name. Antifascism. #Antifascist #Antifascism

neutral · AI labelView post →*Yes, even WEEKEND AT BERNIE'S, a film that's often written off as a joke but is, in actuality, a clever and hilarious dark comedy. Terry Kiser gives one of the best physical comedy performances of the late 20th century, playing a corpse, for almost the entire running time.

It's got a great script, great acting, great execution by the director, meaningful and funny as hell.
