Over the years, it's been increasingly clear that Max Landis' awfulness wasn't a fluke. It was genetic. John Landis is clearly a piece of ****.
Besides that though, Animal House remains one of my top 10 favorite comedies. Increasingly, for reasons I can't quite articulate. There is only a handful of bits I find legitimately funny. And I've never been particularly in love with John Belushi. But there is just something so warm and familiar about the film, that it makes me smile. Which is also strange, since its mostly a loud, unsubtle, insulting, immoral, stupid, out-of-shape, hooligan of a film. But I guess I have friends that are like this too. And that my taste in people is probably just as bad as it is for movies.
And by bad I, of course, mean impeccable.
