Here are the pros of IFC :
1) There aren't commercial breaks!
2) The movies are uncut. This might not seem like that big of a deal, but considering the kind of movies IFC tends to show, if the bad words were bleeped there wouldn't be any dialog. It would just be one long bleep.
3) The Whitest White Kids U'Know are on IFC. It's a show from the writers of Kids in the Hall. It is freaking funny - how can you not laugh at a rap song about dinosuars? I tried once. My head almost exploded.
4) You can see all the movies that major celebrities hope no one ever sees again. The movies they made before they cared about how much money they'd get. Before they had a career to ruin.
It also at least a couple cons.
1) You will get caught up watching crazy french movies that only show at 4am on the Independent Film Channel. I'm not sure there is any lower standard.
2) The is a lack of movies with romantic happy endings. If you are looking for the guy to end up with the cute girl instead of the nerdy guy, you're watching the wrong channel.
3) You can't watch ANY of these movies in front of your child. EVER. See pro #2.

So.... here we are. It's 12:04am on a Sunday.
We're watching a movie about strippers.
It's not a happy go lucky movie, if you know what I mean.
Here's a quote from Jennifer Tilly's character:
"I'm gonna have this kid! I'm gonna have this kid and
it's gonna grow up and sell drugs to your kid."
If you were to make a graph (and oh, I might!) of actors vs the number of their movies that are shown on IFC, Jennifer Tilly would be one of the highest scorers. It's just a guess.

IFC can be the gateway to true escapism from other forms of video and movies..........really!
there are not enough pathways to some of the alternatives to the mainstream cinema. It is far from perfect and takes patience--sometimes IMDB.com is helpful to see if a movie is worth it.
