All the Lady-Movies Now Are About Sluts!

I'm still waiting to watch Easy A, but only because I haven't found the exact right moment of "I have two hours to kill and I want my mind to shut off entirely so, yes, I will let this movie that is far too young for me just wash over me and wipe everything away." I'm looking forward to it though, because who doesn't want to watch a movie about a girl taking charge of her slutty reputation in the judgmental halls of America's high schools? (NO, WHO DOESN'T?) Now, from Nicole Kassell, who made The Woodsman which was about how you can't go home again after you've been a convicted pedophile, and who is off making The Bell Jar, which is probably going to upset so many of us, there is this movie, Little Bit of Heaven, that has no U.S. release date, which is about a whore who doesn't believe in love who gets cancer and falls in love with her cancer doctor (haha, just like on "Bored to Death"!) and meets Whoopi Goldberg in heaven. Oh Lord.

Also Kate Hudson is doubling up this year, playing a hussy whose wedding blows up or something in Something Borrowed, which is the latest iteration of the "brides at war" chick flick, which, that is a genre I do not do, due to blatant sexism. It's just gross.

But, but, but, we're about to be assaulted by No Strings Attached, formerly known as Fuckbuddies, then known as Friends with Benefits, now not known as such, because that is the name of the now summer-slated Justin Timberlake vehicle about how Mila Kunis is a slut. (But that one's directed by the director of Easy A, which everyone loved, so!) And we were just assaulted by Love and Other Drugs, which at least is about a loose woman with Parkinson's.

The one film that sounds the stupidest is actually the one I'm taking the most seriously: What's Your Number? is a dumb-sounding film about how a woman has slept with twenty guys and is like, that is too many, one of them must have been Mr. Right!, which, LOL, but? The woman in question is played by Anna Feris, so, see you there, sluts.

You can't make stuff like this up. And I wish you wouldn't.

I was promised sluts in the title and I got Kate Hudson and Whoopi Goldberg. Thanks Choire, I won't be able to get it up for 3 days after viewing this trailer.

Seriously, I love J-Schwartz and I HATE that show.
Now that I think of it, I didn't like him much as Gideon Graves. Maybe he should stick to making music, I love that.

They filmed What's Your Number? in my neighborhood. Of course, the little "don't mind the boom mikes and the closed-off streets" flier the producers pasted to my apartment door made no mention that their film was soupy dreck.

Wait, why is Gael Garcia Bernal in this movie? And isn't he a bit short for Kate Hudson?

propertius (#361)

I'm still waiting for a romantic-existential comedy about a gay guy stumbling from one bad date into the next.

I just saw (and loved!) Easy A but SPOILER SPOILERS SPOILERS

The amount of actually slutting around in the film is fairly low!

Yep. I was really disappointed with this movie. SPOILER ALERT!!!!11!111 It's all an act. So she wasn't really empowered all along. Just a cock tease like all the other girls.

In fact, not unlike everyone's real high school experience…all talk and very little action.

Anything Mila Kunis does is AOK with me. I'd watch her read nothing but the tax code for 3 hours.

deepomega (#1,720)

As long as she was also wearing nothing but the tax code, amiright?

boyofdestiny (#1,243)

Isn't the tax code long, dense, and opaque? Unless that's what you're getting at!

romany malco or gael garcia bernal? and… GO!

for me: romany malco, hands down.

mrschem (#1,757)

why is there a banner ad covering say thats cool's undoubtedly hilarious comments?!!!!!

boyofdestiny (#1,243)

Pro tip: Just click and highlight them when that happens. But yeah, what a pain in the neck!

mrschem (#1,757)

what kind of devil pact have you made with bestbuy?

omitofo (#4,921)

If getting cancer means I get to sleep with Gael Garcia Bernal…erm, sign me up for the bad shit!
