So I heard about this new movie that's coming out. It's about a woman who gets into a relationship with a guy who is, despite the hot sex, a bit on the clingy side. When she tries to dump him, the guy makes her life hell with what can only be described as "super powers". He throws a shark into her apartment, destroys her car and other bits of property, and directly threatens her life until she gets back together with him. Quite terrifying, no?"

Oh, wait, I switched the genders by accident.

Seriously, how can anyone think this crap is comedy? It's abuse made trivial.

As the male is being portrayed as the bad guy in this scenario (also known as the Wiley E. Coyote setup), then it would be more funny.

Is that not how she is portrayed in this film?

Nope. The male "victim" is the one being punished, not the enraged superfemale.

You know how you tear the person's ticket stub and say, "Thank you and enjoy the show?" -- oh, wait, no, you say "Thank you, it's the third one on the left," or whatever ...

you say "Thank you and enjoy the show" when ushering for a play, hm. I was wondering if you could say, "Thank you and enjoy the sexism."

So was the director male or female? Producers? Script writers? Meh. I guess they keep lowering the bar for movies, which is why I go see a (really good) movie maybe once or twice a year.

I'm concessions. I hope to god I don't say, "Would you like sexism on your popcorn?"
