DARE-AOKE ROUND 1
DARE-AOKE ROUND 1
Another Gay Movie - dir. Todd Stephens - 2006 - USA
This is the first in a series of blogs that I’ll be making through the year (thus helping me keep this thing active) in which I’m dared to watch something that I would never choose to watch on my own. My homegirl Joe over at http://reassurance.blogspot.com/ is the one responsible for this abortion penetrating my DVD player. Who the fuck turned Stiffler into a fat bull-dyke named Muffler? In fact, whose idea was it that remaking American Pie as a gay comedy was potentially a good idea? American Pie is barely good as it is, and no amount of gay-tweaking the stereotypes is going to produce better results. We get it, gays can do dick and fart jokes too, though they will never, EVER be truly funny no matter what sexual orientation it’s there for. For instance, the lead humps a QUICHE instead of a PIE, and he lets a rodent enter his butt whilst doing so. This belongs in Epic Movie, I think. Also included is a parody of Carrie, but with CUM instead of BLOOD. That one goes in Date Movie, maybe. Everything is painfully amateur, from the acting to the direction, not to mention that what may have been amusing jokes on the page end up being painfully raped by the terrible cast. There’s nary a good actor in sight, and especially not Kids In the Hall’s Scott Thompson, slumming it up doing a half-assed impersonation of Eugene Levy. This features a very special appearance by un-funny gay comedian Ant, who could only be less funny if he were operating a conveyer belt that creates a queue to brain puppies. I’m not at all opposed to homosexual films, or gays in general, doing their thang...much like Seinfeld was insulted as a comedian instead of a Jew, I’m insulted as a lover of film instead of a heterosexual. It doesn’t shy away from icky things one bit, and the gross-out humor has the same feel of a Troma production, only without the tact. Can I say something nice? I guess Graham Norton was a bright spot, but that’s sorta like finding the merit in genocide. Perhaps the planned sequel, Another Gay Sequel: Gays Gone Wild, will do it better for me. Or not. Tune in next week for something else terrible.
Best of the year is on the way. Keep checking back.

By the way, as far as the gross-out humor, the version we have at work is a tamer version than the theatrical version. I haven't seen the theatrical cut, but I'd imagine more butts bouncing and (hopefully) more dick shots of whatshisfuckinname from Survivor.
Love,
Scott Thompson
