so i finally got myself a bootleg download of Feed, and i have to laugh. one thing many tool fans and boondock saints fans don't really grasp is that they think kitsch doesn't apply to them because they're not retro passe cheese yet. but Feed is grade-a kitsch for the first 2/3 of the movie, and while the final stretch is far too ayn rand-y with the speeches about "society's pressures to be thin" and "consumption is evolution" and blase blah, the actual end is pretty hilarious. in fact, the movie itself is a hoot if you can deal with gore and cannibalism and everything that has nothing to do with actual feeders and everything to do with soylent green and shaun of the dead and saw. the whole point of the film is shock value, which it does have, because 99% of the people who see it won't have heard of feederism, much less BBW porn (some men like fat chicks? gasp!). i wasn't shocked, because everything from the penis in the frying pan at the beginning to the "twist" (the cop is just as bad as the killer! torn sympathy!!) was already reported here on the board. and yeah, i recognized the blurred out photos of some of dimensions' 500 club too (in fact, brett leonard owes us big). i'd say the only time i was shocked was when the movie portrayed australian detectives as guys who go on fetish porn sites all day, from urine drinking to feet to aha...here's a case...feeders. the point is, the film is far too ridiculous and out of touch with reality for anyone to take seriously, and the film even takes a stab at calling out close-minded douchebags (the hero's partner is into furries). and of course, we think the killer is a good guy being persecuted for his fetish until we find the bags of ex-feedees and the flashback where he hacked off his own immobile mother's (paging dr. cliche!) fat. don't see the film for your interests in fat or feeding. see it for a gross and kind of entertaining (and let's face it, original) horror flick. and remember, it's not targeting feeders. it's targeting people who make betting odds on when women will die. namely, gore flick fans.
