The Guatemalan Handshake

[John C Lyons]

The new indie formula:

Hand drawn poster/cover art. Check.

Quirky characters. Check.

Silly music. Check.

Bad acting. Check.

Lazy editing. Check.

No plot (other than "hey, look at these strange people!") Check.

Two steps backwards for independent cinema. Check.


Also following this formula: "Anywhere, USA". Please feel free to share the titles of other recent movies that are copying this already dead "style" so that I can avoid them. Two movies like this one is enough wasted time in my life. Have a great f%#@ing night!

How far in did it take for someone to pull a gun? Or for the first gun to be visible?

 

[John C Lyons]

LOL

actually i dont recall a gun at all. but there was a kid in a wheelchair wearing roller skates, a young girl wearing a big bright orange hat, and plenty of over the top acting. had anyone seen this movie besides me? it won the jury prize at slamdance and like best feature at arizona if i recall.
