What did we learn?

[Trekker4747]

Okay, likely nothing. 

But that was one of the more insane things I've ever seen and not an ounce of it made any bit of sense and they must have been really desperate for entertainment in the 60s to find that parade enjoyable on any level.

I also learned a really bizarre version of the origin story for Namor.

I learned how Gay balloons are.
I also learned that apparently in Pennsylvania only Marrying Turkeys can marry people.

And until recently didn't marry gay balloons.

I learned that my dad's actual home movies, shot on Super 8 without sound, had more of a plot than this thing.

I learned that you can film a school play and pass it off as a movie. And it's still better than Transformers.

If this film had been as long as any of the Transformers films I'd have been begging for some robot testicles by the end.

I wish the "Like" function was active so I could like the previous post.

As fun as this Riff was, I'm not sure how much more I could have taken.  Though, more of the dream-insanity would have been fun but, man, save for the drunken comments of the "narrator" and the guys that was the worst and most boring parade in history.  Which really says something.

I learned that we don't need modern, Internet-based, multi-media sites like Facebook or YouTube to listen to the incoherent babbling of deranged, possibly intoxicated, people rambling on and on mindlessly.

I learned that you should beat your male children when they sneeze.

Pfft. I learned that after watching an hour of Fox News.

WE AINT LEARNED SHIT!

Attempting to find out more about this I did learn Giant Balloon Parades Inc. is still listed as an active company, founded in 1948, and they trotted those same balloons out all over the place.  Found an article that they had trouble inflating their balloons for a parade in Acron, OH in 1973 (pictures of the balloons from that parade look the same as the ones in the move).  According to google maps the address listed today is an HVAC repair place in Levittown, PA.

That no matter how bad you think a film is, it can always get much much worse.

I learned that Santa and the Ice Cream Bunny really isn't that bad.
