The best court case of all time

My favorite court case of all time is the United States ex rel. Gerald Mayo v. Satan and His Staff. 

In case the name didn’t make what was going on clear, its about a guy who literally tried to sue the literal devil for causing him ‘misery and unwarranted threats,’ and placing ‘deliberate obstacles in his path’. According to Mr Mayo, these nefarious actions on the part of Satan were a violation of his constitutional rights. 

But, the absolute best part of this case, is the fact the judge doesn’t just dismiss it for being completely ridiculous. In fact he actually acknowledges the case might have legitimacy as a class action. Nope, he dismisses it because the plaintiff couldn’t give the US Marshall’s Satan’s home address, so they could serve him papers. 

Sometimes law school can actually be interesting...

I wasn't sure if I actually watched this movie or if it was just a fever dream

Watching "Suing the Devil"

I thought it'd be an edgy comedy about some kid suing the devil played by motherfucking Malcolm McDowell, but instead it's a bullshit christian piece of shit with a budget of about 20$. Malcolm's still awesome but this is such a waste of my time. Only thing's I've liked are him, and the hot goth girls that are insisted as "filth" by these christian assholes. Fuck this. Imma go watch Clockwerk Orange and enjoy fucking awesomeness instead of this christian garbage.

MOVIE MINI REVIEW : Suing The Devil

Mais qu'est-ce que c'est que truc? On ne sait absolument pas quoi penser devant cet étrange procès fait à Satan par un australien spectaculairement abruti. Furieuse parodie ou authentique délire évangélique hallucinant? En tout cas Malcolm McDowell s'éclate comme un dingue dans le rôle de Satan. C'est littéralement impossible de se déterminer. C'est tellement mal joué et filmé avec les pieds qu'on dirait une comédie mais les délires christiques sont assénés avec tellement de conviction que ça fait peur tout ce délire fanatique limite dangereux. Bon, en fait, c'est complètement débile ce truc… Y avait la possibilité de faire un film énorme avec un sujet pareil. Et ben Tim Chey s'est lamentablement vautré et il nous a pondu un pauvre délire risible de new born christian! À fuir!!!!!!!

2011. Réalisé par Tim Chey. Avec Malcolm McDowell, Shannen Fields, Corbin Bernsen…

Film 7/365: Suing The Devil

Suing The Devil is a film about a lawyer, bitter about the all the wrong he has been dealt in life, who decides to sue the devil.

The devil is played by Malcolm McDowell, which is what attracted me to the movie to begin with.  That and the concept is so fantastic. This movie had so much potential it isn't even funny, but it fucked it up in all ways possible.

The acting was atrocious. Even Malcolm McDowell's performance was lack luster due to such terrible script writing. He was easily the best part of the movie, though. If the film was intended to be so awful, it was fantastic.  Hilarious, over the top, and all around amusing.  But some of the moments were too obscenely awful to come across as a comedy to me.  Sure, there were some intentionally amusing parts, but for the most part, it seemed awful, and hilarious in all the wrong places.

If you watch it, I recommend going into it with the mind set that it's purely a comedy, and was written as such. It all depends on how you take the film.  If you view it as serious, you'll probably hate it. If you think of it as a comedy, you might find it to be gold.  Its kind of hit or miss.
