It was banned in Ireland when it came out, so you can be sure I made it my business to see it!Iirc I imported a VHS copy from somewhere (France, I think?) and watched it drunkenly with friends. It's soooooooo terrible! I watched it a couple years back with a friend who had never seen it, and it is still hilariously godawful.

They pitched it as combatting child sex trafficking which is absolutely important. But by forcing craigslist and Backpage to stop adult ads, the best way to track the kid traffickers is gone. It doesn't make anyone safer in any way.

Yeah, but if everyone else is in on the joke, but the lead isn't, you have a MAJOR problem.

The same thing happened with Vampire in Brooklyn.

That’s true. A lot of gay people still love it, though.

I wasn’t aware that he had defended Batali. The funniest take on Twitter was that Trump had finally broken Gaffigan.

At least that movie destroyed the screenwriting career of Joe Esterhaus, whose female characters fall into two categories: sluts and evil sluts.

"Middle class" isn't just a label which means something you don't like.

Of course. Because Harley Quinn wouldn't treat them this shabbily!
