the only part of this movie that’s awesome.

i’m always on the look out for new things to appreciate ironically. this is ironywatch.

today, i’m going to warn you about the possible dangers an ironist might encounter in the field.  recently, i went with several friends to the hip new beverly movie theater, in order to catch a midnight screening of rainbow brite and the star stealer.  we assumed we’d be rolling in the aisles, “thoroughly enjoying” rainbow brite, murky, lurky, and all the rainbow pals in their first big screen adventure. we were very surprised!

at first, it was amazing.  the opening musical number (!) prominently features a singing horse telling everybody to get to work. however, things went downhill when the movie proceeded to be boring as fuck. i fell asleep through most of the second act, and i was still able to follow along with the slow-as-molasses plot.  there were so few unintentionally hilarious moments, and so many more unintentionally boring moments. we left the theater wishing we’d hated it a lot more.

so the lesson here is be careful what you try to enjoy ironically.  some things are just plain bad. rainbow brite movie, you have not been ironywatched. instead, i’m having all the copies of this movie burned, so no more hipsters will suffer.
