What does NSFW stand for?

travolta in this is like mel gibson remaking fiddler on the roof. fucking pathetic. germany was right when they outlawed scientology as a wacko dangerous, money stealing, brainwashing cult.

Scientology for fruits

Baby Jesus cried.

Clearly this is the most thinly veiled gay-bating I’ve seen of late, meant to incited a bunch of negativity in the talkback. However, it came from so far out in left field, I then REREAD the article to make sure I didn't skim past the offensive bits.

The reality… You’ve written an inoffensive review. So to answer your question, I’m not a homophobe, so the fact that there WASNO homophobic humor means the article had the PERFECT amount of homophobic humor, imo (the gay-bashers may disagree).

I guess the only line in the whole thing that seems a little harsh was the line "The morbid curiosity of Travolta in drag had drug me headlong into the deepest, darkest, gayest level of hell". However, I read that with what I have to assume was intended irony (the idea that Travolta in DRAG a way of enticing straight guys to see a 'gay' movie). Whether intended or not, it's an ironic statement, not offensive. Also, the line "I refuse to believe that there is a man under all that makeup" isn't offensive. The "Gay Cyclops" line... ALSO not offensive.

My point... After reading the article over again, it became so clear that even YOU, Massawyrm, realized your article wasn’t pissing anyone off. The postscript, or sorts, seems at least to me like a lame attempt to prove that you're ‘hardcore’ and not afraid to offend people.

It smacks of someone who hates political correctness, but doesn't bother to understand what it is to be politically correct. If you say you like something (or rather don't hate something) base on its merits as in your review you AREN’T being politically correct... it means you’re being genuine.

The true irony is that the ONLY part of the review that doesn’t come off as genuine is the hate-filled ending, and the fact that you’d tag it on despite that fact that it reads SOOOO forced… THAT’S offensive.

You do know that Mel Brooks is the man who wrote The Producers, yes?

I was in 20 or so musicals in HS and college. Except for jocks, I'm convinced straight guys in theater get more (female) strange than anyone. Sure you had to put up with the ocassional man-pass, but well worth it. Of course, my wife always calls me gay when I start singing along.

In other news, I saw She's the Man, and I thought Amanda Byrnes showed signs of a major-league comedic gift, the kind I haven't seen in a long time.

And I wish they ad stunt-cast anyone but John Travolta in this. Can't stand Travolta, not even at an ironic/kitsch level, not in any way. Just fuckin' hate him.
