And the Oscar for WHAT THE FUCK DID HE JUST SAY!? goes to...

In movie news I care about, Todd Solondz has nearly finished the follow-up/sort-of-sequel to 1998's Happiness, perhaps the darkest dark comedy ever made. I gleefully recommend this film to everyone but my mother (and her mother). Happiness contains very little sex, violence, or even foul language and still manages to induce maximum seat-squirming and butthole-tightening. When you hear the conversation between Dylan Baker and Rufus Read near the end of the film, you will look at the person next to you and say, "Did I just hear what I think I heard?"

Yes, you did.

The new film is called Forgiveness and has a different cast that includes - are you sitting down? - Paul Reubens and Paris Hilton. Somehow Solondz + Reubens seems right. As for Hilton, well, it's bizarre enough that I'm interested in seeing how it works out.
