Tweeder, you think you'll enjoy prison?

Varisty Blues has made it to the cheapo bin at the local Fred Meyer, so I picked up a copy today. Then, because I was tired from playing football this morning I vegged out and watched it this afternoon.

Pure ridiculousness, but lots of fun. The best part is how it exists inside a constrictive genre and formula, but still stays somewhat original. That's impressive on it's own. Plus, it has good eccentric characters with Tweeder being my clear favorite.

But this movie also has some historical significance. It was the first mainstream movie produced by MTV Films that got some traction with mainstream moviegoers. MTV Films has since gone on to release some important movies (Election and Better Luck Tomorrow) along with some fun movies (Save the Last Dance and The Wood.)
