IFC keenly listens in on my apartment
I was practically having this exact same discussion just a few hours ago. IT'S SO FRUSTRATING. I want some guts in my movies, and not just guts for the sake of guts but guts that stand for something. 1989 had guts. 1999 had...a lot, maybe not always guts but it had a lot. 2009? What? In terms of the mainstream, we got, District 9, maybe? At least it was something fresh. And just not fucking Rotten Tomatoes fresh but actually fresh, something new, a chance at change, stir up the pot a little. Fucking crock pot if you ask me, nothin's cookin.'
Shit man what happened to the '90s? I ask myself this question every day!
Time to go to bed!

Similar article, talking about Judd Apatow's marriage of conservatism and filthy humor.
"No recent movie has made the case for abortion look as self-evidently awful as 'Knocked Up,'
Apatow’s 2007 keep-the-baby farce. No movie has made saving — and saving, and saving — your virginity seem as enviable as 'The 40-Year Old Virgin,' whose closing segue into connubial bliss played like an infomercial for True Love Waits."
