I just read your short review of Observe and Report on the American Idol recap, and I have to say I'm really disappointed. If by "Seth Rogen finds new ways to be wonderful, and heartbreaking" you mean "finds new ways to justify date rape", then I would agree with your statement. It's terribly depressing to me to see men loving this film, since it really does contribute to a rape culture where it might be okay to rape an unconscious woman because she a) drinks a lot and b) mumbles something about wanting it. For someone like Seth Rogen, who is intelligent, rich, and privileged, with a number of frat pack men referencing him constantly, it was an unfortunate move on his and Jody Hill's part to make that scene in that film. The movie isn't going to make someone who previously thought date rape was bad all of a sudden think it's good, but it might reinforce the area of "gray rape" a lot of sketchy men believe in.

And to see someone who writes recaps for a site that I often go to in order to see these large problem areas of our culture dismantled and analyzed, support such a film, is upsetting to me.Dear Natasha:

Thanks for your insight! Next time I rape a girl, I'll be sure to give Seth Rogan proper credit.

You fucking idiot.
