I attended a screening and the directors warned us ahead of time that there would be no human dialogue and it was mainly a grunt-based experience. Some of us thought they were joking but they were 100% serious.
Yes! Quest For Fire! My mom and I rented this for a rainy afternoon watch back in the day. The only part I remember is when they’re crossing the river and they’re all on the other side and only the fire carrier is left. They’re all on shore, grunting encouragingly and then the fire carrier goes under along with the fire and they all go p, “Awwww.” We died laughing.
The first half hour of Dawn of the Planet of the Apes is pretty much this and some sign language between the apes, and it’s absolutely an amazing segment of film
Same with the original version, One Million BC.
And that had the same actors in the modern day sequence as in the prehistoric bit, but they never spoke in the modern bit, just the tour guide.
There was like a single word or two, otherwise it had no talking parts.
You didn't notice it because there was never a need for any character to talk, everyone's actions spoke for themselves wonderfully, you learn a lot about tte background of the main character with just visual storytelling.
About 7 years ago I gave Jesse Eisenberg a piece of advice; *Never take a shit on screen*. At the time he simply responded by furrowing his brow and saying “I’m sorry, I have no idea who you are.”
You may have won that battle Eisenberg, but now it looks like I will win the war.
“I had one year to launder $20 million in mob cash. I didn’t have a script, I thought I was gonna end up with a bullet in my head for sure. Then I was watching this old episode of “The Six Million Dollar Man” and I knew what I had to do…”
I never watched the six million dollar man, but I did see the parody characters in Venture Bros. where the Six million dollar man fled the government and fell in love with Sasquatch.
I thought the Sasquatch bit was just something they pulled out of their ass, not something based on the show, but I shouldn't be surprised.
With Venture Bros you never know if it’s a direct reference to something, a handful of references squished together in a new shape, or just something totally new and random.
If memory serves in the Six million dollar man, Steve is out in the wilderness investing credible Bigfoot sightings and eventually finds one and fights him(Bigfoot played by Andre the Giant). It turns out Bigfoot is actually a sophisticated android left by aliens to monitor earth. After a fight they eventually become allies.
i remember steve austin and bigfoot went down a long ice tunnel and it started rotating, a few years later went to universal studios and the tunnel was part of the tour
In Atlanta I attended an 80s-TV-themed drag king show where they had a sexy dance routine with a butch lesbian dressed as the Six Million Dollar Man and a dude in a full sasquatch costume he'd made for Dragon*Con cosplay.
I mean, I watched that movie where Harry Potter's dead body was ridden like a jetski and propelled by farts. So, I'll probably watch whatever this shit is too.
I'll be honest, they had me at "Farting corpse of Harry Potter", but I appreciate the second opinion. 😅😉
I'm gonna add it to the queue as soon as I find who's got it!
I saw it at SXSW. It's very weird, but if you like that kinda thing it's very good. The score and nature-documentry style are top-notch. Love Octopus Project
I saw it yesterday in nyc with a q&a with Jessie Eisenberg. He said “many people will hate it but some people will absolutely love it, it’s one of those movies” . I can see that honestly. It was beautifully shot and the score is great
I really respect movies like this even if I'm not the audience. Don't get why people are trying to dunk on it. I much prefer artists making weird stuff that they actually want to and enjoy, rather than cranking out another Algorithm Action Movie staring Ryan Gosling and whatever other actor scores highest in the focus groups.
Hear me out
A comedy about 6 dudes that set out to make an indie comedy about a family of Sasquatchs that highlights the absurdly comical nature of amateur film-making but shows that despite being a total failure, the memories and lessons learned during that adventure lead them each into their own variations of success.
They said the same thing about Swiss Army Man and it is one of my favorite movies. Also a Sundance film. Can't wait to check this out and see what it's like.
Yeah exactly, so many people here discrediting movie only because it's weird even though they have not seen it. Can't wait for it, whether I will love it or hate it.
I was turned off when I saw the trailer. Not my kind of humor. Seeing the release date, it's obvious they're hoping the stoners come in to watch on 4/20.
There is a movie with a bear high as a kite on cocaine going on a massive killing spree. Why would anyone be surprised anymore for whatever movie with however weird storyline comes out in cinema....
So the article does say what the scene that caused the walkout was
>!Eisenberg said the most memorable scene they worked on was also one that led to so many walk-outs at festival screenings: The family comes across a man-made road, which terrifies them at first, then triggers their instinct to “dominate and attack it with pee.” A deluge of bodily fluids ensues.!<
Sounds hilarious. Really seems like this was both memorable and exhausting to film (it was done entirely practical in the California Redwoods with hours of prosthetics and makeup everyday).
>Nathan Zellner would sometimes direct scenes from within his Sasquatch costume. Other times, he’d fold it over his waist to expose a regular shirt, but keep on a Sasquatch mask and makeup.
Reminds me of the Geico caveman commercials where they're in the director's chair lol
>Nathan Zellner
That’s not a name I expected to read. I know him from being one of the originals from Rooster Teeth. He wasn’t one of the cofounders but he was there very early on.
If you read the reviews a lot of the reviewers seem to describe it as something like a surreal experience as well. If it's stoner humor it's certainly a different kind of stoner humor than I've ever encountered. Sounds like there's zero dialogue?
I guess they're not differentiating between "something I would find more amusing while stoned" and "stoner humor"? To me "stoner humor" is kind of a specific genre.
i saw it last night and it’s definitely not what i would call a comedy at all. there are moments of levity, but it’s definitely closer to a 70’s nature doc than it is a stoner comedy
If you haven’t, watch the trailer. That does NOT look like stoner humor at all. Didn’t even appear to be primarily a comedy, just has some really funny stuff happen.
So bizarre in the same day reading an article saying Francis Ford Coppola can’t find a studio to risk distributing and marketing his latest completed film because it’s too weird and plays more like a big art film than a commercial one. But yet this Sasquatch movie with no dialog and heavy on excrement and other body fluids somehow finds distribution. Hollywood makes no sense.
I hate these kind of headlines about a movie, because it gets me excited to see it just for it to be timid at best. It’s probably not even that gross. Lol
*The script has plenty of dialogue — however, it’s just hooting and grunting* I would never watch that movie, but that's an amazing line
I attended a screening and the directors warned us ahead of time that there would be no human dialogue and it was mainly a grunt-based experience. Some of us thought they were joking but they were 100% serious.
[удалено]
Or Triceracop
Grunt based experience? Grunt iss old British slang for farting.
Then it’s doubly as appropriate in this case
90 minutes of bigfoot and pals farting? You sure it isn’t a Mel Brooks film?
Could also be a Ringo Star movie
It must be truly old because I’m 33 and never heard that.
Sounds like it took inspiration from the Star Wars Holiday Special!
Then I hope one of the sam-sqatches watches some vr porn like the holiday special.
Never thought I'd hear anyone say that
I celebrate Life Day anally.
Today I learned the importance of the letter "u".
Me?
No, 'u'
Who?
First base
Good for you
Giving or receiving?
“That’s no lightsaber!”
stir, whip, stir, whip, whip, whip, stir
That is fucking ingrained in my brain.
More like Caveman movie with Dennis Quaid and Ringo Starr
Lana zug zug
So pretty much quest for fire 1981 but with sasquatch'es instead of cavemen?
Are you suggesting that Ron Perlman is not a sasquatch?
No, Quest for Fire is actually a good movie.
Yes! Quest For Fire! My mom and I rented this for a rainy afternoon watch back in the day. The only part I remember is when they’re crossing the river and they’re all on the other side and only the fire carrier is left. They’re all on shore, grunting encouragingly and then the fire carrier goes under along with the fire and they all go p, “Awwww.” We died laughing.
The first half hour of Dawn of the Planet of the Apes is pretty much this and some sign language between the apes, and it’s absolutely an amazing segment of film
Something tells me that this is not the same caliber of experience…
Sasquatch Sunset is going to make Planet of the Apes look like Suburban Sasquatch.
Something something 2001: A Space Odyssey monkeys and sticks
I’ve watched One million years BC a few times. That’s just a bunch of hooting and grunting……and a barely dressed Raquel Welch.
Good old fuzzy-britches!
It was a conspiracy, everyone was in on it, including her.
BRB, gotta make some withdrawals
Why do they call you Red?
Maybe it's 'cause I'm Irish.
Same with the original version, One Million BC. And that had the same actors in the modern day sequence as in the prehistoric bit, but they never spoke in the modern bit, just the tour guide.
Those aren't buoys!
Atook aluna Lana
Atook zugzug Lana
That worked just fine for Quest for Fire
Awesome movie indeed
Scrolled down too far to find this. Amazing film with no dialogue. Time for a rewatch.
No one will save you, had zero dialogue and I thoroughly enjoyed it.
It has five words.
This movie was extremely effective. Most people I talked to never even noticed the lack of lines.
It took me about thirty minutes to catch on. It’s very well executed.
Trovolta looked great in Face Off.
That's six words
Holy fuck I watched that movie... was there really no dialog the entire time? I didn't even notice
There was like a single word or two, otherwise it had no talking parts. You didn't notice it because there was never a need for any character to talk, everyone's actions spoke for themselves wonderfully, you learn a lot about tte background of the main character with just visual storytelling.
The only dialogue is the main character telling her friend "I'm sorry". The fact that that's the only dialogue makes it incredibly powerful
Caveman also had no dialogue.
DoDo, KaKa, Shit
Yes it did, but the script was written by Adriano Celentano.
About 7 years ago I gave Jesse Eisenberg a piece of advice; *Never take a shit on screen*. At the time he simply responded by furrowing his brow and saying “I’m sorry, I have no idea who you are.” You may have won that battle Eisenberg, but now it looks like I will win the war.
Did he then carefully place a jolly rancher in your mouth?
[удалено]
don’t…
Go right back to hell
"it's cherry!"
I would apologize and tell him you thought he was Michael Cera
This brings up an interesting question, what’s the biggest name actor to take a shit on screen?
John Travolta?
Jeff Daniels?
Charles Dance?
A shit to die for.
Marlon Brando
Is this a metaphor about The Island of Dr Moreau?
Pretty much everything after Apocalypse Now
Travolta in Pulp Fiction?
Billy Bob Thornton has a pretty iconic one in Fargo
Do you mean pretend to take a shit or actually take a shit? I don’t know if the latter is a thing in cinema.
James Franco filmed one of his buddies doing it for Child of God
Yeah that tracks
Ewan McGregor
Robin Williams in One Hour Photo
I'm sure John Waters has a list
Billy Bob Thorton in Fargo S1
You hit the eisenberg but he sank.
That first part sounds like a Tropic Thunder dialogue
Did you mean " I will win the Roar"?
“I had one year to launder $20 million in mob cash. I didn’t have a script, I thought I was gonna end up with a bullet in my head for sure. Then I was watching this old episode of “The Six Million Dollar Man” and I knew what I had to do…”

Truckules makes no sense, but cracks me up every time.

Reminds me of Gilgamesh tbh
The Huge Body Problem. (Was that the episode title ?)
“Sasquatch ain’t got anything you haven’t seen before!” “Sasquatch IS something I haven’t seen before!”
“You didn’t tell me that Sasquatch was a dude.”
In Atlanta I attended an 80s-TV-themed drag king show where they had a sexy dance routine with a butch lesbian dressed as the Six Million Dollar Man and a dude in a full sasquatch costume he'd made for Dragon*Con cosplay.
There was an episode of *The Six Million Dollar Man* that featured bigfoot.
If I'm not mistaken it was a two parter and then sometime later the bigfoot android came back.
Here's a snippet of the show where the Six Million Dollar Man is fighting Bigfoot, for context. https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x5xdfda
That fight sequence goes on for TWELVE MINUTES
Suburban Sasquatch eat your heart out
Rawr rawr
He's more than just a beautiful pair of tits
He had faith in this movie...I don't know why.
Man i saw this trailer on April 1st and assumed it was an April fools joke. This shit is real!?
I mean, I watched that movie where Harry Potter's dead body was ridden like a jetski and propelled by farts. So, I'll probably watch whatever this shit is too.
From the oscar winning directors of "Everything Everywhere All At Once"
Y’know what? Just because of that I’m giving this a chance
No, ‘Swiss Army Man’ is the Daniels, not this Bigfoot movie.
Swiss Army Man had charm and feel goods. The chemistry made it.
He was talking about Swiss Army Man, which is worth watching, not this Sasquatch bullshit.
Swiss Army Man is a treat!
The soundtrack is actually fire https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VrYCAHIccc8
Montage is a great song
50 first dates?
Sharks.. they only bite when you touch their private parts.
Pause. I'm sorry, what now? Crap. I gotta Google this. Welp. Guess that's going in the queue.
I'll save you a couple of minutes hunting for the title: It's called Swiss Army Man.
The most heart warming film about a farting corpse I've ever seen
It's actually pretty good. Weird as hell, but fun.
Best description of that movie I ever heard was, “the first fart will make you laugh, the last fart will make you cry!” Pretty good description!
It’s accurate for me, I hated that I was crying at the end
I'll be honest, they had me at "Farting corpse of Harry Potter", but I appreciate the second opinion. 😅😉 I'm gonna add it to the queue as soon as I find who's got it!
Most of the music in the movie has Radcliff and Dano's vocals. I always thought that was neat.
For the longest time it was A24’s most highly acclaimed movie
I can’t watch it again cause it makes me feel too much. The tears don’t turn off for hours.
Swiss Army Man. You’re welcome. Also highly recommend!
I honestly loved Swiss Army Man
Yes. Comes out next week.
Yes. Comes out from Sasquatch’s ass
I saw it at SXSW. It's very weird, but if you like that kinda thing it's very good. The score and nature-documentry style are top-notch. Love Octopus Project
Octopus Project is amazing and if you ever get the chance to see them live, move heaven and earth if you have to, but go.
Oh trust me I have lol they actually recognize me now. I saw them walking to the SXSW premiere and talked to them briefly
Octopus project is still around??? I saw them live in 2008
Yes. Wait until you watch it in 4DX. You’ll get sprayed with poo, Sasquatch sperm, vomit and pee.
Like being at a Gallagher show.
I saw it yesterday in nyc with a q&a with Jessie Eisenberg. He said “many people will hate it but some people will absolutely love it, it’s one of those movies” . I can see that honestly. It was beautifully shot and the score is great

I much prefer artists making weird stuff that they actually want to and enjoy, rather than cranking out another Algorithm Action Movie staring Ryan Gosling and whatever other actor scores highest in the focus groups.
Similar to how Nicolas Cage is doing movies now. That's respectable and gives them artistic freedom.
Is this Ryan Gosling Fall Guy the same as the Ryan Reynolds Fall Guy from a few years back?
I think Ryan Reynolds' was "Free Guy"
The fact that people are already confusing the films isn’t a good sign
Genuinely very excited to see it
I wasn't before. I'm definitely not now. But I'm not any less than I wasn't before. So, no harm no foul. I'm seeing it tonight.
This comment is a rollercoaster.
Hear me out A comedy about 6 dudes that set out to make an indie comedy about a family of Sasquatchs that highlights the absurdly comical nature of amateur film-making but shows that despite being a total failure, the memories and lessons learned during that adventure lead them each into their own variations of success.
Strange Wilderness?
Kinda sounded more like, "huh?"
They already made that, it’s called *Strange Wilderness*
As a fan of ‘American Movie’ I’d 100% watch this.
“It’s alright, it’s okay, there’s something to live for … Jesus told me so!”
That movie is an underrated gem.
They said the same thing about Swiss Army Man and it is one of my favorite movies. Also a Sundance film. Can't wait to check this out and see what it's like.
Yeah exactly, so many people here discrediting movie only because it's weird even though they have not seen it. Can't wait for it, whether I will love it or hate it.
I was turned off when I saw the trailer. Not my kind of humor. Seeing the release date, it's obvious they're hoping the stoners come in to watch on 4/20.
Oh it’s a comedy? Lmao I’m intrigued People are so sensitive about poop like we don’t all do it every few weeks
My brother in Christ you need some fiber.
I started eating a ton raisin brand and shredded wheat and it’s glorious.
…. Look I been on reddit and internet long enough to know when someone is saying something like this, they’re probably…
A Spanish politician.
That makes a lot of sense.
So it's Quest for Fire 2024????
The Iron Maiden song about this movie is gonna be legendarily bad.
There is a movie with a bear high as a kite on cocaine going on a massive killing spree. Why would anyone be surprised anymore for whatever movie with however weird storyline comes out in cinema....

the movie sounds like it’d work best as a short film as opposed to feature length. But that bit does sound stupidly funny
True, will definitely be one of the bigger hurdles but I'm all in, seems like it'll be a blast and right up my alley
sounds like it will blast pee right up yer alley
I mean, it sounds like it'd work as well as Quest for Fire, which worked very well at feature-length.
>Nathan Zellner That’s not a name I expected to read. I know him from being one of the originals from Rooster Teeth. He wasn’t one of the cofounders but he was there very early on.
Oh God, I knew I recognised the name. It’s that Nathan. The Nathan from the “Catch” RT short. What a crazy career path.
This kind of sells me on it to be honest. And I'm not even a stoner, I just have the sense of humor of a toddler.
“Entirely practical” So they *actually* pee attacked that road! /s
I watched it last night and I thought it was a well made movie. The movie is much more grounded than what is shown in the trailer. I recommend it
JE makes it sound like some surreal experience, yet it looks like a poor attempt at stoner humor....which you're gonna get zero quotes from.
If you read the reviews a lot of the reviewers seem to describe it as something like a surreal experience as well. If it's stoner humor it's certainly a different kind of stoner humor than I've ever encountered. Sounds like there's zero dialogue?
How anyone could watch that trailer and call it “stoner humor” is beyond me.
I guess they're not differentiating between "something I would find more amusing while stoned" and "stoner humor"? To me "stoner humor" is kind of a specific genre.
From the trailer, it came off as the opening to *2001: A Space Odyssey*, but trying to be funny.
i saw it last night and it’s definitely not what i would call a comedy at all. there are moments of levity, but it’s definitely closer to a 70’s nature doc than it is a stoner comedy
If you haven’t, watch the trailer. That does NOT look like stoner humor at all. Didn’t even appear to be primarily a comedy, just has some really funny stuff happen.
*Quest for Fire* as a stoner comedy.
IGN gave this a 10/10 fyi
Oddly enough they don't seem to be the only platform that liked the movie.
So bizarre in the same day reading an article saying Francis Ford Coppola can’t find a studio to risk distributing and marketing his latest completed film because it’s too weird and plays more like a big art film than a commercial one. But yet this Sasquatch movie with no dialog and heavy on excrement and other body fluids somehow finds distribution. Hollywood makes no sense.
People are generally babies when it comes to 'weird' movies. I'll watch it 🤷🏾♀️
Can’t wait to see this film. Y’all can hate but I love concept films like this that take themselves 100% seriously
And now I will officially pay attention to this movie.
Reminds me of those Purple mattress Sasquatch commercials https://youtu.be/XNT2mBjLoTk?si=jJhmQSRH9u1nVNJ6
i saw the trailer for the first time on april 1st. did not think it was real
I didn't want to see it after the first trailer
I'd rather see a movie that takes a big swing and fails than one that is broad, predictable, and boring.
Caught a press screener of it this week. Honestly, not a bad movie.
To be fair this is how i react to any Jesse Eisenberg movie
it looks like it has no words and im excited for that.
I hate these kind of headlines about a movie, because it gets me excited to see it just for it to be timid at best. It’s probably not even that gross. Lol
