A Fucking Hero?

Wednesday, April 8th, 2009

My “obser­va­tion and report” on the Jody Hill direc­ted, Seth Rogen sta­rring, venal film of the same name, made at Legen­dary Pic­tu­res, and dis­tri­bu­ted by War­ner Bros.

SETH ROGEN: when we’re having sex and she’s uncons­cious like you can lite­rally feel the audience thin­king, like, how the fuck are they going to make this okay? Like, what can pos­sibly be said or done that I’m not going to walk out of the movie thea­ter in the next thirty seconds? … And then she says, like, the one thing that makes it all okay:

BRANDI: “Why are you stop­ping, motherfucker?”

When your best friend, drunk out of his mind, and hardly able to stand, implo­res you to hand him the car keys, do you give them to him? Of course you don’t.

Then what is so funny/OK about fuc­king a drunk out of her mind, pill pop­ping, alcoho­lic after she vomits all over her­self, when she momen­ta­rily arou­ses from her stu­por to tell you to go on?

Ans­wer, nothing. It’s called rape, there is no way you can spin this to make it alright.

I hope these men end up with someone’s dick up their ass one night when they’ve had too much tequila. OOPS. Do you think Seth Rogen would be eager to star in that movie? War­ners Brothers so eager to dis­tri­bute it?

Anna Faris, are you that des­pe­rate for work? Shame on you. Yes, and please don’t start on me for bla­ming the women. Shame, shame, shame on her.

I also hope this movie fails mise­rably, but given the searches for “rape”, “fun with rape”, “how to rape”, “how to get away with date rape” and so on that land here, a site which has some but not all that many posts in which the tags are rape, rape cul­ture, or date rape, I fear the worst. War­ner Brothers pro­bably did their research based on inter­net search terms.
