Most Offensive Movie Trailer Ever

How fucking wrong is this bullshit?




Normally the presence of Larry the Cable Guy alone is enough to induce movie popcorn vomit, but he’s amazingly the least of this movie’s problems.

Well, not the least. The least of its problems is that a Slim Jim product placement is masquerading as a joke and that its title is a crummy pun on a pretty much OK Chuck Norris/Lee Marvin picture.

What Hollywood genius decided this was the right time for a wacky movie about yokels in the military? Where they so confident in Bush’s surge strategy that they figured by the movie’s release the war would be over and ripe for broad comedy? Say what you will about Ernest in the Army – at least it was released during peace time.

Then they go to Mexico? Seriously, what the fuck? Was Iraq not an awkward enough hot button issue to delve into? They had to make hacky and vaguely homophobic cross-dressing gags about a bunch of idiot soldiers who accidentally invade Mexico? It's not a Minuteman as comedy plot, judging from the Trailer, but it's close enough to be extremely awkward. (In a queasy coincidence, a speaker at an anti-immigration rally I watched as a ended a speech by saying “git ‘r’ done.”)

Maybe there could be a sequel where these idiots are supposed to guard an abortion clinic but instead end up accidentally re-opening Abu Ghraib, call it Stem Cellblock or something.

Don't do it to yourself, man. Remain in the dark; you're a better person for it.

Yea. I can imagine someone making a funny movie with that exact same premise. They just didn't happen to do that.

I would go so far as to say there is absolutely nothing offensive about this movie. At all.

Meh, seems very tongue in cheek with a title like that and reminds me a bit of Arlington Road.



wasn't there a "Law and Order" along those lines?

Its Hollywood. I'll bet the surprise ending is that the kindly middle eastern man who is suspected by his neighbor of terrorism, and presumably excuted by him, is just a rogue scientist searching for a cancer cure. The terrorist will turn out to be the FBI agent, and his wife will turn out to be a lesbian with an eating disorder.

obviously

oh, and to keep this "on topic", larry the cable guy irritates me.

In regards to Civic Duty, I saw Peter Krause on a late night show and his take on his character was that the guy, who has been recently laid off and is struggling with his personal life, becomes obsessed with media depictions of 9/11. His obsession stems from the fact that he has nothing except free time on his hands, and he doesn't want to deal with the reality of his own life. He basically takes the 9/11 information that he becomes obsessed with and starts focusing all of his attention on his neighbor. At the end of the movie...

SPOILERS! (Click to view)

The main character has lost his wife and he's in a mental institution-- still creating stories about the neighbor and imagining that he has been right all along. In the end, the film seems to be more of a commentary on the fear mongering of the media and how some people, like the main character, can become so engrossed in what the media is feeding them that they lose touch with the reality of daily life.

+1

I think that if you are offended, you can go fuck yourself and not watch it.

Personally, it looks kinda dumb but also possibly funny.
