Sorry for the late reply, but I wanted to reply to this as I appreciated the in-depth response a lot.
MEANWHILE, Todd Phillips (the director of this movie as well as raunchy comedies like the Hangover trilogy) went in to the HARD defensive. He said that he purposely moved away from a genre he loved (comedy) because everyone was being too PC and comedy was dead (which isn't true).
I was going to say Todd sounds like a bit of a dick, but the more I think about it the more I think he's a huge dick. You're right, there's nothing wrong at all with defending a film you've directed but the way he did so was ridiculous. It sounds like he far more damage than the actual movie itself.
I'm really interested in the awards season this year. I still think Joaquin played a fantastic part, but I agree, there were a lot of other standouts, too.
Can I ask, do you work somehow in media or are you just interested in the film industry? You've told me so much info this year gone about promo and stuff going on in movies and I really love that you do. I know I like different things to you at times, but you're still my film guru.
