knives, is that praise or criticism?

Also knives, was this your first viewing? If so, it's interesting that you had managed to see Passion of Martin but not Election before the Criterion came out!

I don't know and yes respectively.

I found the movie absolutely hilarious, but in the blackest comedy way. This is an extremele cynical movie where in the end, the most absolutely ambitious win.
However, I never really rooted for Flick, so while Broderick isn't much of a hero to root for, I still felt that the ending is kind of a sad one.

Yeah this is a terrific (and hilarious) film from a year of abundant riches, there was just great world cinema released in 1999.

Same here. Knives isn't wrong, but I find this delightful to screen once every year or two. I think it is incredibly funny despite the awfulness of the characters. I could probably make the same claim about It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia (one of my favorite shows), but since it is a series the characters are obviously more fleshed out.

I was thinking Parker Lewis Can’t Lose

Paramount will release their own UHD

Might think of donating my copy to Goodwill. Not sure I ever want to see it again.
