Neurotic Nomad commented on Nibble On My WHAT, Now?.
That was the lowest rent video I've seen in ages.
5 parts B-roll from a single day at the beach,
1 part "sampled" footage from Playboy/Sports Illustrated ads.
I love the shot-on-VHS look and the 20-years-too-early-for-GGW feel.

Neurotic Nomad commented on Confidential to My Fellow Homosexuals.
Being disrespectful to those who have no respect for others is a time-honored comedy tradition. I have respect for his concept. I also admire his courage... his willingness to put himself in these situations.
The point of his stick is that he becomes a stereotype in front of people who believe the stereotype. The reasoning is: the more offensive his behavior, the more he re-inforces stereotypes to the ignorant... the funnier it is to watch his ignorant victims react.
Unfortunately, the vast majority of my exposure to him is in clips and I'm already bored with the joke without having seen it. Worse, the out-of-context clips offend the very groups he is trying to break the sterotype of.
If the one joke in your movie is dead before the first ticket is sold, that a Filmmaker Fail and an even bigger Comedian Fail.

Neurotic Nomad commented on George Carlin on Prostitution.
@Dan: There's an old saying "You don't pay a prostitute for sex, you pay for descresion."
Prostitution is illegal because it gives women too much power, both in small and large ways.
@lark: The difference is: In porn, 'both' people get paid / neither of them pay for the sex.
From the point of the seller, it may be the same (ie you are "prostituting yourself") - but from a commercial standpoint - you are not serving the public in the same manner.
From a socio-sexual standpoint - it allows for rich men to exploit poor women without giving women too much power to exploit them back.
@bigyaz : Human Trafficking and Slavery are the results of an unregulated market.
We need to get rid of the mentality that "banning" a product or service makes it go away.
The world isn't divided into "legal" and "illegal" products and services, just "regulated" and "unregulated".
History has repeatedly proven that a complete lack of oversight results in abuse and danger.

I can always tell a person's age by which Trek movies/series they consider "the good ones".
