Animal House (1978)

National Lampoon’s Animal House is an important movie. You can see its influence in the many raunchy and gross-out comedies that attempted to ride on its coattails after its release. Countless films have either imitated its style or attempted to one-up its hijinks. It’s unapologetically vulgar and crass, memorable and often hilarious. It’s also horribly dated - we’re talking Breakfast at Tiffany’s dated - which makes it hard to recommend unless you’re from a certain era, or watching it for academic reasons.

In 1962, Faber College’s Dean Vernon Wormer (John Vernon) is fed up with the Delta Tau Chi "Animal House" Fraternity. It isn’t hard to see why. Its members are nothing but hard-partying, womanizing delinquents with low grade point averages and a knack for disobedience - unlike the prestigious, snooty, elitist Omega Theta Pi house, who hate them just as much as the Dean does.

Animal House doesn't have much of a plot. For 109 minutes, we follow various members of the fraternity as they go wild. New pledges Larry Kroger (Tom Hulce) and Kent Dorfman (Stephen Furst), the legendary John "Bluto" Blutarsky, motorcyclist/mechanic Daniel Simpson "D-Day" Day (Bruce McGill), chapter president Robert Hoover (James Widdoes), ladies’ man Eric "Otter" Stratton (Tim Matheson), and the only one with a steady girlfriend, Donald "Boon" Schoenstein (Peter Riegert) all go on the kind of adventures that you can’t believe someone committed to film in 1978. It’s essentially a series of sketches, many of which you see once and never forget. That's not necessarily a bad thing. I just need to say “the horse” and you start to crack up.

While the film doesn’t contain the kind of rampant misogyny many of its imitators attempted to mine for comedy (such as Porky’s)… it’s still got a problematic attitude towards women. If it were just one scene of Bluto peeking through a window to see ladies changing, it might be ok. The college students we see are all parading in their underwear while having a pillow fight, which is so outlandish it's funny. The problem is how many moments of this nature we see. Animal House has a scene in which a character has to seriously consider why having sex with an unconscious woman is a bad idea. It’s one rape joke too many but then there's another not too far away. Yikes.

I can’t blame anyone who gets offended at the homophobic jokes - all I can say is that’s just the way things were back then - or the racist jokes - times were different but things have changed, I swear. Even if you overlook them, the picture’s general attitude just doesn’t sit well today. You might not like the snobs in Omega Theta Pi but at least they’re good students. Animal House is filled with cheaters who take nothing seriously and then complain when the administration holds them accountable. Maybe fraternities mean a different thing in the United States than they do in Canada, or they were a bigger deal back in the day but it's hard to figure out why you should like the hooligans from Animal House at the end of the day.

If you’re curious and undeterred by the dated humor, there are plenty of funny gags and several of them produce big laughs. I just don’t know who this movie is for anymore. You’d have a difficult time looking at your female friends in the face after watching this film with them. With your kids? They’d be appalled. Even among your buddies, I suspect you’d find a larger-than-expected number of them who’d go “Hey man, this isn’t cool”. I'm glad I saw Animal House. Now that I have, I understand why the film was as influential as it was but I doubt I'll feel the need to revisit it. This makes me unsure if I recommend it or not. I suppose I do, if you know what you're getting into, at least so you can "get it" too. (On Blu-ray, July 23, 2021)

A Futile and Stupid Gesture 2: Bucking the Trend Line

Less a sequel than a second version of A Futile and Stupid Gesture, this one instead focuses on William F. Buckley, Jr.'s time at Yale, through the founding of the National Review, up until the SEC crackdown on several of his businesses in the late 1970s and early 1980s. And the cast is the exact same cast from the first movie, with everyone taking on different roles, though Will Forte again portrays the writer at the center of the story, in this case Buckley rather than Kenney.

Tom Hulce in Animal House (John Landis, 1978)

Cast: John Belushi, Tim Matheson, Peter Riegert, Tom Hulce, Stephen Furst, Bruce McGill, Kevin Bacon, John Vernon, Verna Bloom, Donald Sutherland, Karen Allen, Sarah Holcomb, Cesare Danova. Screenplay: Harold Ramis, Douglas Kenney, Chris Miller. Cinematography: Charles Correll. Art direction: John J. Lloyd. Film editing: George Folsey Jr. Music: Elmer Bernstein.

The granddaddy of gross-out comedies, Animal House has a certain innocence to it 45 years later. For one thing, it goes lightly on the gross-outs, the most famous one being Bluto's zit joke. We don't even get to see Flounder (Stephen Furst) throw up on Dean Wormer (John Vernon). For another, without their familiar lined faces and grayed, thinning hair, such veteran actors as Peter Riegert, Tom Hulce, and Kevin Bacon look almost naked. The film has maintained its reputation, even being inducted into the National Film Registry in 2001. There are things in it, however, that wouldn't pass muster today, including the blatant objectification of the young women, especially in the scene in which Bluto (John Belushi) spies on them undressing. And would any reputable filmmaker today dare to include the scene in which Pinto (Hulce) debates whether to rape the unconscious Clorette (Sarah Holcomb), abetted by a roguish devil and a prissy-voiced angel? There are also touches of unchecked homophobia throughout.  John Landis's direction, too, sometimes seems a bit stiff-limbed, as if waiting for the audience to laugh before proceeding with the next line. There are flashes of wit in the screenplay, as when Bluto refers to the Germans bombing Pearl Harbor, and Boon (Riegert) tells Otter (Tim Matheson), "Forget it, he's rolling." But many of the sight gags, such as the climactic assault on the homecoming parade, weren't worked out enough in advance, the exception being the marching band that gets led into a blind alley and then can't extricate itself. Still there's a fine energy to the performances, and even Dean Wormer gets to make a good point: "Fat, drunk, and stupid" really "is no way to go through life." But mostly the film is a strong reminder of what we lost with the early death of John Belushi -- and, more recently, of Stephen Furst.

En plus de l'amour du public, Rossum a reçu beaucoup de critiques dans son discours

En raison de l'abondance de scènes explicites, la star a été accusée d'apparaître trop souvent dans le cadre en maillot de bain ou sans vêtements du tout.  Emmy réagit calmement aux critiques en colère, car elle considère qu'il est important de révéler tous les aspects de la vie du personnage, y compris les plus intimes.

 Entre le tournage de Shameless, la star a également réussi à travailler sur d'autres projets.  En 2013, elle est apparue dans le drame Beautiful Creatures, où elle a joué la méchante sorcière Ridley.  Le rôle était un défi pour elle, car auparavant, Rossum devait jouer des héroïnes principalement positives.  Jeremy Irons, qui est connu pour son imprévisibilité, a fait une impression particulière sur l'artiste.

 Cela a été suivi par la sortie du film "Comet", dans lequel la star a non seulement joué, mais était également responsable de la sélection des acteurs.  L'intrigue tourne autour d'un couple dont la romance a éclaté après une rencontre fortuite.  Emmy a décrit le projet comme un anti-romcom qui touche aux problèmes relationnels.

 En 2018, la comédie Stupid and Senseless Gesture a été diffusée, basée sur la biographie du fondateur du magazine National Lampoon, Douglas Kenney, qui a influencé la culture américaine dans les années 70.  L'actrice a joué Katherine Walker, l'élue du protagoniste.

Premier Kenney commits to returning Manitou Stone to Indigenous peoples

A meteorite sacred to Indigenous peoples in Alberta is returning to its historic location in central Alberta. The Manitou Asinîy, also known as the Manitou Stone, is a 145-kilogram iron meteorite that fell from the sky near Hardisty, Alta. It is considered a healing stone by Indigenous peoples and is credited with protecting the buffalo herds of the northern plains. However, in 1866, the stone was stolen by the Reverend George McDougall, a Methodist missionary. It was sent to Ontario and remained there until 1972 when it was placed on long-term loan with the Royal Alberta Museum (RAM) at the request of the Alberta government. On Friday, on National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, Premier Jason Kenney announced at the RAM that through a joint stewardship agreement, the Alberta government will cede ownership of the stone to the First Nations peoples and it will return to its historic location. “It will be returned as close as possible to the place where it lay for millions of years, to the place where it attracted generations and generations of indigenous people to sacred ceremonies,” said Kenney, who wore an orange-shirt pin. “To the place where it represented the life of the plains Indigenous people and their connection to nature, and particularly to the buffalo.” Elder Leonard Bastien of Manitou Asinîy-Iniskim-Tsa Xani Centre said historically, the stone has been a connection to how Indigenous peoples thrived and moved forward with buffalo culture. "Today it’ll give us direction and a new pathway to move forward, whatever that may be," he said. The province is also committing to building a prayer center, to be designed by Cree architect Douglas Cardinal, to be primarily used by Indigenous people to "reconnect with the sacred traditions of their ancestors." An interpretive center will also be built near Hardisty so visitors can learn more about the stone and what it represents. “The facility will cost between $7.5 to $10 million and will be a geodesic dome, open to the sun and night,” said Blaine Favel, former chief of Poundmaker Cree Nation. Kenney noted that it will likely take a few years before the construction is completed and the stone will be moved to its new location. Nevertheless, he called Friday’s announcement a “hugely important step forward.” “I want to give thanks to the Creator for helping us finally right the wrong of the theft of this stone and the theft of the culture and the way of life it represents,” Kenney said. At a separate press conference on Friday honoring the National Day of Truth and Reconciliation, Indigenous Relations Minister Rick Wilson unveiled plans for a reconciliation garden and memorial on the Alberta legislature grounds. It is intended as a space for reflecting, healing, and honoring residential school survivors. It will include a medicine wheel, willow trees, footprints representing the children who didn’t make it home, and a permanent residential school memorial. “All these features have been carefully thought out with the guidance of the elders,” Wilson said. “As the garden grows, I hope relationships grow and with it, as we work together on this journey of reconciliation, it’s our beacon of hope and healing.”
