I was scrolling through SLO1 again today and stumbled upon this old American comedy from '98 called Buy Me Eliot. Honestly, the movie itself isn't anything groundbreaking, but man, there are some lines in there that are just pure gold...

For instance, there's this scene where a guy wakes up in some dimly lit cell, looks at the guy sitting next to him, and goes:
"Man, why are you obsessing over that zit so much?!"
Then he stands up, takes a second look at the guy, and realizes he’s actually dead—with a massive bullet hole right in his forehead! 😁

The lead (played by Damon Bjelogrlić, who sports this platinum blonde, mid-length hair) is this criminal who happens to be obsessed with opera and Al Capone. He’s also got this weird quirk where he ends every single phone call by just saying, "Done!" and slamming the receiver down. 😁

I haven't seen a movie this stupid in at least 7 or 8 years.
Actually, scratch that—let's call it a Manhattan
The whole crew just got lazy and decided to pretend they're making actual cinema👎 kind of like those old cheesy variety shows... except, God help us, they actually had a budget and cameras for this

This movie serves as the ultimate proof that making a truly great "trash" film is actually an incredibly difficult feat. Even though the director, Dejan Zecevic, is easily one of the more intriguing talents to emerge lately—and he clearly knows his stuff when it comes to those classic American B-movies, cult horror flicks, and that specific gritty aesthetic popularized by guys like Dario Argento—this just didn't land. It was a bad film. Honestly, can we even be surprised? We’re looking at a situation where the screenwriter is Gordan Mihic and his own daughter is pulling the strings as producer, which basically creates this insulated little bubble, and isn't that just the same old story regarding how non-commercial indie projects get funded? 🙄
