Roy Orbison's glasses

Gummo

(1997)
OK, I've seen a drunk wrestle a kitchen chair, I've seen a mentally challenged woman shave her eyebrows, and I've seen enough tortured and dead cats (whether real or simulated is an emotionally moot point) to last nine lifetimes. I feel as if watching this should come with one of those survival T-shirts like they pass out at epic roller coasters.

I did laugh twice; can't remember the cause of the first, but the second came when one character said, "I knew a guy once who was dyslexic, but he was also crosseyed, so everything came out right."

Pity Xenia, Ohio.
