Holy cow.. this movie is nuts! My new favorite bad movie! Thank you for uploading this dumpster fire.. truly, you're doing God's work. Lol I've watched it 3 times already.

[@JumCuggler]

I love how every male actor in this movie is obviously gay, even when they're portraying anti-homosexual religious fundamentalist or random side characters. It feels like he got 90% of the cast from out of work gay porn actors.

[@ambskater97]

The actor playing Victor is an ex-gay porn actor. Seriously.

This puts Call Me By Your Name and Moonlight to shame. I'm surprised it didn't even get nominated for Best Picture.

[@PauLtus_B]

Way ahead of its time...

[@vibeology9432]

What is Moonlight?!? Sounds like a b-movie. I only know high class cinema such as Ben & Arthur!

[@KIISwitch]

No joke, ive watched this more times than either of those, in entertainment value, i would agree Ben and Arthur is the superior film

[@Killgore-ip2yq]

Technically, those movies are about bisexual men. Ben and Arthur is actually a gay movie. 😅

[@bilikfinke9197]

​@@Killgore-ip2yq "Technical" takes of this kind strike me as asinine, unhelpful more than anything. It is misleading to describe those movies as about the experience of bisexuality; they do not thematize duality of attraction to any significant extent, or at all. They centre same-sex love. That their characters have de-emphasized encounters with the opposite sex really says nothing conclusive about their orientation/identity anyway (potential/arguable ambiguity does not mean "bi"). Put differently: Chasing Amy is about bisexuality; CMBYN and Moonlight are about homosexuality.

I remember watching this on KZbin in increments back when videos had those ~10 minute time limits. One of the first so bad it's good movies i ever saw. It was #1 on the IMDb bottom 100 for a while, which i strongly disagree with nowadays. Ben and Arthur commits almost every sin in the book when it comes to filmmaking, but it never commits the biggest sin of all: being boring. It's stuck with me for nearly 16 years and still makes me laugh every time I watch it. Thanks for all the laughs, Sam.

[@ireckeverything7678]

Dare I say it this is both worse and better than The Room, the only reason it didn't reach the cult status of The Room is it's missing a tall enigmatic guy with a weird accent from "New Orleans"

[@gnomeam]

Tommy Wiseau isn't tall...

[@AL-SH]

Tommy Wiseau is 5'8", if that's tall to you then you must be a midget

The Room was written like a porn and shot like a movie, whilst this was written like a movie and shot like a porn.

[@ireckeverything7678]

@d Thanks d, to be fair I never googled Tommy's height he just looked tall I thought, perhaps it's just that he's an imposing figure

[@samlibutti]

I honestly think this might be a better “so bad it’s good” movie than the room. So underrated

[@ioncekilledamanwithmyshoe]

I think both are great so bad it’s good movies, but because of the weirdness of tommy wiseau and how much money was purported to have gone into that movie, I have to say the room still ranks higher.

I wish they'd filmed a whole montage of Victor filling up applications for other churches*, and getting them all rejected after being forced to admit he has a gay brother. Those "services" the Father brings up refer to Victor saying mass, so he's a priest, I guess? (I don't know what that money he's donated has to do with anything, though.😅)
