One of the most anticipated movies at this year's Sundance Film Festival also turned out to be among the most divisive. On Friday afternoon, the Eccles Theater had to turn away hundreds of movie fans, and even a few industry VIPs, at the packed premiere of "Swiss Army Man," starring Daniel Radcliffe and Paul Dano.
But the bizarre fable about a lost man (Dano) who befriends a farting corpse (Radcliffe) could win the festival's award for the most walk-outs, as a continuous stream of audience members kept standing up and bolting for the door throughout the film.

I have no idea if this ‘works’ as a movie, art can be strange and good- or strange and bad.
It’s important though that necromethanophobia be eliminated from society and everyone be treated equally!!!!
Man, how much longer will Hollywood continue to rehash that tired old story line?
The Sound Of Tootsic
What’s that line about a couple of homo cowboys eating yogurt?
Well at least it wasn’t about gay cowboys eating pudding.
Nope, I've never seen or read anything Potter. I may be able to go you one better - I've never seen an episode of Seinfield or Friends either.
All that fine schooling for this?
I don’t know what the kid studied and got a degree in at Hogwarts, but it must have had something to do with magic basket weaving.
It was pudding. South Park's riff on Sundance FF:
Cartman: 'Naw dude, independent films are those black and white hippy movies. They're always about gay cowboys eating pudding.
Three. Four, counting Fang. - We haven’t been to a movie in
years. They’re all junk & a waste of my valuable time. -
We did break over a few years back and went to one of those
planet of the apes movies. Predictably silly.
“And as Blazing Saddles proves, there are few things funnier than a well-timed fart.”
Shameless plug for my buddies film at Sundance.

The handy fartingcorpse keyword can now be used for Dead Red Ted Kennedy threads.
... And there was a time in this country, a long time ago, when reading wasn't just for fags and neither was writing. People wrote books and movies, movies that had stories so you cared whose ass it was and why it was farting, and I believe that time can come again!
More that you might think.
And, judging by my mystification by all the TV show references on FR, there are many television shows I have never seen either.
Blazing Saddles and Airplane, now, I am all in.
Make that 3....
Ditto me that, only with Cool Hand Luke....I think I have every actor's lines memorized by now.
Never saw one Star Trek, Starwars, Dallas....will shamefully admit to having seen an episode of T. J. Hooker- Faggot Cop however.
âWhy did they walk out? Sounds about as intellectually stimulating as any other Sundance movieâ
I’m guessing ‘smell-o’vision’ . . .
And the winner for best performance as a flatulent corpse goes to....
I think there was a punk rock band in the 70’s called “Flatulent Corpse”
