rumor has it...

...that rob reiner is a fat fucking sexist slob. has there ever been a female screen character more pathetic than the one jennifer aniston plays in this film? aside from the complete inability to make even the simplest decisionwithout patriarchal input, the thing that i find most horrific is the fact that she constantly needs some sort of reassurance, either from her fiancee or her dad or some other male, just to feel like she is not pathetic. and that in turn makes her pretty damned pathetic. seriously, jen's charachter from the good girl(a feminist masterpiece, no doubt) called and even she thinks this way of behaving is bordering on ultimate loserdom. jeanne diellman just wants that bitch to make a decision on her own even if she prostitutes herself and caps a mutherfucker.

but she can't. as reiner beats it into our heads that she absolutely neeeds the men in her life for her to have any sembelance of inner peace.

and speaking of the men in her life, do you know how hard it is to completely waste a talent the size of mark ruffalo's? a much better film would have been him and richard jenkins sitting in an empty room watching fucking paint dry. it, at least, wouldn't have made me want to puke.

seriously meathead...why don't next time you just save us the lame graduate subplot and just make a movie about a helpless woman who needs to suck a dick every fifteen minutes like some sort of iv fluid or she will die. at least i will know coming in that it's sexist as opposed to you doing something even more insulting and hiding these antiquated attitudes in a picture aimed at women.

that...and mix in a salad you bloated piece of shit.
