Aw, that is sad about Josh Lyman and Malcom's mom. They always looked so in love when I saw them at.... well... it was just at awards ceremonies. But they were all up in that "I love you honey!" shiz...

Victoria Jackson is a real life nit-wit and she killed "The X-Files" for me FOREVER. Her latest rambling references to Apatow, Obama and anything else only cement the fact that stupid ain't cute.

The trailers for Year One on television in my area are the "I'm a slave" joke and the "raucous mating" joke. That's it. Nothing about raping animals. I'd be surprised too. I wouldn't cry or walk out, but I probably wouldn't bring my daughter, either.

Victoria Jackson may have overreacted, but let's not pretend movies aren't marketed differently in different areas/on different channels either.

@Devonna: I'm torn on this one too. The movie is PG-13... and that makes me wonder wth the litmus test is for a pg-13 rating.

And it's been marketed the same here, Devonna.

Generally, though, I use the pg-13 as an "OK, it's going to be in the f-bomb/boobs range" - which I'm ok with.

Explaining bestiality on any level with my kids... not a fun day.

@Devonna: Ratings are much more specific though, and I would hope parents look at that before taking their kids to a film. Year One is rated PG-13, but the rating says: Crude and Sexual Content Throughout. Brief Strong Language and Comic Violence.

Not that I'm going to see the film - it's not really my thing - but I just think Jackson wanted to have a go at Apatow, full stop.

Did it bother anyone else how Victoria included "homosexual" and "obese" as two of the terrible things in the movie? I probably wouldn't have noticed it if she hadn't used both to describe the character repeatedly, but that just kind of irked me a bit. Slaughtering animals after having sex with them= probably reason for PETA/people who are sensitive about animal violence to get a little testy. Big fat gay man "on screen"= makes you cry/feel dirty? Ehhh...

I'm glad Kevin Blatt took time to reflect on the possibility of the sex tape he was shopping having a detrimental effect on the poor girls career. Sweet of him. That type of concern and regard is just so hard to find nowadays. How wonderful that his conclusions on the matter also coincided with what was best for his pocketbook.

Reached for comment, King Oedipus said, "I stabbed out my own eyes. Perhaps I should have plucked out my eardrums instead? I would still be able to see the children born of my incestuous union with my mother, but at least I could not hear Shia LaBeouf speak about his, the infinitely more disturbing choice."

Um, Shia, exactly what context would make (and I'm paraphrasing) "If I could have sex with my mother I would" sound not ridiculous? It is hard to twist words to make it sound ridiculous when it is crazy to begin with.

Seriously, though? Did you see the previews for Year One? Have you ever seen a Judd Apatow film? What the fuck did you expect?

I have no sympathy for people who get offended because they never bothered to think about the movie that they're going to see. Yeah, there's probably a ton of objectionable stuff in Year One, some of the things in the preview pissed me off so I probably won't ever watch it. But think about the things you do for one second. Hm: controversial "dude humor" director + Jack Black + biblical humor + caveman humor = fun for the whole family? Probably not.

@kelsium: That's EXACTLY what I thought. I mean, I'm sure the movie is terrible...but you can tell that from the previews or even from the description.

This woman is nuts. During the election, she said Obama resembled the anti-christ and that he "hates whitey", and peppered the statement about how the statements would probably hurt her entertainment career. What entertainment career? And then she ends this statement in a similar fashion, suggesting that she and Apatow are both major Hollywood players.

Of course she doesn't need to be a major Hollywood player to have an opinion about a movie, but why say that? It makes her seem even more delusional.

It's fine to critique movies like this as symptoms of larger cultural problems, or what you perceive as cultural problems, but don't come at it from the point of "this wasn't a family movie!" or whatever.

@phantom lady: This. My parents never had any problems letting me watch most R-rated films, although they never actively took me to the movie theater to see them. Some films they wouldn't show me due to the content, but most were fair game. The first time I saw "Scarface", I must have been about 10. And honestly, it didn't have any effect on me. If anything, I've become a total movie buff.

Actually, as a Greek, what I don't get is why Americans go bananas over movies that have sex, but movies depicting people blowing each other's heads off are a-OK. This puritan bullshit always baffled me.

To be fair, it was directed by Harold Ramis, not Judd Appatow, its rated PG-13 and her daughter is 15. Victoria Jackson is a hardcore Christian, so I'm sure a lot offends her, but if I hadn't seen the preview I wouldn't be expecting dozens of anal sex jokes in a PG-13 movie from the director of Ghostbusters.

@Vivi21: As an American, I agree with your last paragraph.

Made for some interesting discussions about obscenity during my media law class. No one could explain why we bug out over sex, which almost everybody will have at least once in their lives, but why most don't even blink an eye at someone having their head blown off, which almost no one will ever actually see in their lives.

The discrepancy, it hurts my head.
