superbad

alright so. this is my first time doing a piece of writing of this nature, namely on a blog, for the world to see, so cut me some slack if im not super fun and interesting. practice makes perfect people. that being said here goes nothing.

i know that seth rogan and his counterpart judd apatow have been wildly successful in their recent string of comedies. however, i have some less than positive comments about his latest "zack and miri make a porno".  i realize that most audiences of boys would enjoy this movie. it does have a few very funny moments. but they are funny in a crude, disgusting, low brow culture way epitomized in the obsession with the lower body exhibited in my cultural studies course. god im a nerd. and that sentence didnt make sense. but seriously, its a bit much. especially the scene where theyre shooting stacy and lester having anal sex and of course the camera man ends up with shit all over him thanks to some loose bowels. god i cant even write this its so DISGUSTING. and yet audiences, not me, but someeee people are bound to find this funny. half of me, the part that grew up with two brothers and a father who are very into toilet humour, finds this hilarious. but the other half, the girl who went to a prim and proper all girls school is completely disgusted by some of the scenes. another example is the scene where the ginger hooker whos in the porno displays her valuable skill of being able to blow bubbles with air coming out of her vag, explaining her very apt nickname, bubbles. but i dont think im completely alone in these thoughts. some of it is just over the top. and the whole plot of the movie is, excuse my french, fucked.  like is it actually possible for people to be best friends for 20 years, then suddenly have sex and then realize that they are in love with each other. does that actually happen in real life? i would like to know. however, it is also important to realize that movies are a fantasy world in which things happen that we wish could happen in our real everyday lives.  but this is never true. although im sure there are some incredibly CUTE couples out there that were best friends, and then had sex with CHANGED everyyyythinggg. because as is shown in other movies, boys and girls, comes to mind, sex does change everything.  whatever. bottom line: not impressed with this movie. and it was also like TWO HOURS. when did it become okay for hollywood movies to be two hours. that kind of movie length is only okay for harry potter, titanic, war movies (maybe), pirate of the caribbean movies (just because it is expected of them), and basically any other profitable series that is out there like james bond etc. not that i would know seeing as i have never seen a bond film. so sue me. to conclude, apologies in advance for being a negative nancy and for offending any die hard seth rogan fans out there. im also running off an inadequate amount of sleep, making me a little cranky. my next post will be all sunshines, rainbows and ponies i promise. so until then, its better to burn out than to fade away.
