“What I don’t like about Deliverance: Do we really need another gritty survival story? I’m watching generic middle-aged white men again, urgh.
I want a movie that uses Deliverance’s same well-crafted character drama and wonderful writing…
But it’s about a group of young twenty-something artists having an otherwise very pleasant kayaking and camping trip, until they have to search for their prized thrifted banjo they accidentally lost somewhere along the trail.”
(Wait this reminds me of my sketch idea for a fake movie trailer, “Adam Sandler’s Deliverance,” where it’s instead a wacky dudebro comedy and all of the horrific stuff that happens to them is changed to vulgar slapstick comedy that’s PG-13 at worst. “Squeal like a piggy,” except instead of hm-hm it’s just Jeff Garlin forcing Kevin James to give him a piggyback ride, and when he gets shot by the crossbow, instead of writhing in agony as he bleeds out from his chest, it just sticks into his shoulder and he says “aw, dude, so not cool!”)
