Bumfights! Comedic Genius or Compelling Social Message?

Discuss.

Oh, and might I add, Rufus might very well be my favorite real life character caught on film.

1. Thank you for this

2. I do what I can...

Apparently, Rufus hasn't made his way into the mainstream DU consciousness.

Sad.

3. If I say compelling social message will I get banned?

I know it's the wrong answer, right?

I don't think I really know what those things are... but I have enough of an idea what the right answer is.

7. Ok, I'll suspend my lighter side for a second...

It's both. It's funny (and I guess it shouldn't be, but it is to me) because drunk people fighting is always a good time, real or ficticious. It's sad because there's no reason these people should be homeless which, if you've ever seen the movie, is somewhat of the underlying theme. Sort of. I guess you have to see it.

Regardless, it takes place in San Diego, which is God's Country (as we all know) so if neither seems appealing, the backdrop is scenic at times.

8. Movie?

I thought it was a youtube thing... shows what I know.

9. Oh, I should clarify

MOVIES... Because you can't make a straight to DVD documentary called Bumfights without a sequel or ten.
