In college, one of my male friends lost a lot of weight (something in the neighborhood of 60 lbs.), and overnight went from being a really nice, normal guy to this complete d-bag who worshiped Tucker Max. When he'd give some really lame, misogynist explanation for why he'd been a complete asshole to some girl recently, he'd always reference Tucker Max. "Just read it on Tucker Max's website. It's all there." As if Tucker Max is a reputable source for dating advice and being a semi-decent human being.<br /><br />I don't know if he ever got over that crap. When I started having dreams where I was punching him in the face, I realized it was probably time to end the friendship. I despise Tucker Max. And...actually, most of the dumb boy comedy movies.Katiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00438572073263291065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8726951603608379154.post-41286421942965327442009-08-11T20:53:32.657-07:002009-08-11T20:53:32.657-07:00My 81-year old grandmother recently saw The Hangov...My 81-year old grandmother recently saw The Hangover with one of her friends and thought it was funny.

And, not to defend the movie because I find them both equally appalling, but at least the Tucker Max movie doesn't fool women into thinking that it is okay to have a guy who completely devalues the women in his life so long as he is really sorry about it and won't do it again.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8726951603608379154.post-51374586899486790562009-08-10T09:44:13.152-07:002009-08-10T09:44:13.152-07:00Moira:

Actually I find I have an inexplicable visceral reaction to him: he is incredibly repulsive for reasons I can't quite articulate.<br /><br />As for why the trailers were received differently, I reckon it's partly the ages of the characters. One has young, obnoxious, privileged dudebros. And the other has kooky, aging manchildren.<br /><br />Also, when I saw the trailer for The Hangover, the movie seemed like it was basically the morning-after scene of Fear and Loathing, only really drawn out. That probably appeals to people for the "edge" factor.torhttp://adriftandawake.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8726951603608379154.post-39749199888208671472009-08-10T08:41:36.392-07:002009-08-10T08:41:36.392-07:00I think it is the dishevelled hair and beard that ...I think it is the dishevelled hair and beard that gives Zach indie cred. 30 minutes less in the makeup chair, and you have license to perform any and all assine scripts.

So they add this extra special comedy buffer that Tucker Max's movie just doesn't have. <br /><br />I guess they think it just looks SO GOOD they don't need that to trick folks into thinking it might be worth seeing.Roxiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10989862745571420807noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8726951603608379154.post-46053562531670817232009-08-09T16:00:32.712-07:002009-08-09T16:00:32.712-07:00I actually watched The Hangover two weekends ago (...I actually watched The Hangover two weekends ago (don't worry, I did not give money to it! I happened to be in the company of a bunch of dudes who had this as their evening plan before I showed up to their bbq, and I didn't feel like having it out just then, though I did not refrain from making MANY snarky comments throughout) and I feel I should note that in the movie, it's not "Paging Dr. Douchebag" it's "Paging Dr. Faggot."<br /><br />Perhaps if you deem something too offensive to say in your trailer, it should be too offensive to say at all. It's seriously just back to back gay jokes throughout the "film."Gnatalbyhttp://theboozetube.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8726951603608379154.post-49681962082590791912009-08-09T15:35:26.901-07:002009-08-09T15:35:26.901-07:00I really hate Will Ferrell.
