Time spent watching films, even crappy ones, is time well-spent.

Not Cool (2014)

I watched the Starz series The Chair and this is one of the movies that came out of it. I’m older (by far) than the demographic, but this is definitely the kind of movie I would’ve loved 20-25 years ago. It’s raunchy yet sweet with some truly poignant moments.

The bits that didn’t work were the ones with the director in drag. He's a YouTube star and I know the drag stuff was something he was throwing in for his existing fans, but he should’ve respected the film and trusted his devotees more than he did.
