I thought the Charity PR scene was hilarious.
The Darfive joke from the trailers was alright, but the girl starting to introduce the idea to create accessories out of extinct [sic] (I think she really meant endangered) animals, that was BRILIANT.
It totally doesn't have to, but it does make it worse if it serves the purpose of enabling discrimination against a group of people

How many Black Comedies (racial, not tone) do you think care about that?
Brüno as a racial comedy would be a white guy in blackface making fun of blacks, for example.
oh dang
Doctor Who will probably play Bilbo Baggins
but still awesome!
there is a thread for only movie news you moron
this is not the most "movieish thread"
without [ ... ] - the fuck I search though all threads and their obscure titles.
So you're saying that if a gay guy made the same exact movie it would have been okay?
Why? Because it's "empowering"?
it's called Queue Up
there are you happy?
At the end of the day, you're being an idiot, because the type of people who you think would have their homophobic stereotypes reinforced aren't going to sit through an opening scene of dude-on-dude anal-play, much less the tons of other explicit content in the movie.
Yes, thank you.
You compared it to black comedies, which is not a sound comparison imo, which I tried to show. I'm not going to argue for your invalid comparison
Of course it would be something else if it was made by a gay guy, or do you somehow refuse the notion that a group can empower itself by trying to ridicule negative stereotypes/words attached to them?
Even a "stupid comedy movie" has impact. Do you really think there aren't going to be any people watching this movie, thinking "Haha, fags, they're so silly! And disgusting!"?
people who believe anything aren't worth convincing of anything.
Social changes happen through slow paradigm shifts, or as someone might say "The TV is destroying our youth!"
The more often a certain idea is reinforced, the more it becomes a part of accepted mainstream reality. This works both ways.
Yeah I guess you could keep people from ideas that are too dangerous for them on account of their lack of education but I don't really think that's a great long term plan.
what the fuck, world
What spring does with the cherry trees.
can we all agree on that instead of having the summer semester of high school debate up in here
I haven't seen it myself, but what I've heard, I can see a reasonable person not finding it funny or unfunny.
What spring does with the cherry trees.
but my opinion in the best and here is a paragraph addressing the matter:
a 72 year old man using the word queer hardly qualifies him as homophobic
i dont really care
