About a month ago i became aware of Hundreds of Beavers. I saw the trailer when the local art house Film Streams announced they'd be playing it. It looked bonkers, i had to see this modern version of Buster Keaton meets the Looney Tunes. And that is exactly what it was.....only it lacks the humor of those. I chuckled here and there.....well mainly smirked with a "Heh" but the joke ran it's course super quick. In fact they repeat jokes way too often here, this could have been a 45 minute short but instead it is an hour and 48 minute feature. This was a one night only showing, and the 166 capacity theatre was sold out, in fact i bought the last ticket. This? This of all movies is what brought out all the hipsters? Not just that but the boring dental art old people that want to feel cultured. The theatre management encouraged audience participation, and they were shouting as if it was their first time viewing it, the "midnight" vibe felt super forced. The crowd felt as if they were fake laughing all night but they surprisingly gave a huge round of applause at the end. I got as as quick as i wish this had ended.
