I checked the synopsis posted by the theatre. Very mild and no clue about what was to come. My computer refused to download the trailer. That should have been a clue!
As I said earlier on this thread, the movie trailer that I did see regarding this film was shown in conjunction with “Saving Mr. Banks” last week. It must have been a sanitized version of the official trailer because it provided no clue as to what this film was going to be — one long X rated, pornographic rant.
It was Christmas, and I was occupied doing other things yesterday. We were going to go see “Walter Mitty”, but its reviews were so bad that we changed our minds. My husband wanted to see “Grudge Match” and I said that I had no desire to see a couple of old men play smash face.
I’m fairly desensitized to the “vulgarization” of film (actually, I’m more offended by stupidity. I don’t mind bawdy or crude, I just loathe stupid). I can tell you there’s going to be very little put out today that you’re going to want to see (especially in the theater). Anything by Scorsese or with an “R” should’ve been a warning (I remember Sen. Alan Simpson mentioning he went to see the cartoonish Scorsese remake of “Cape Fear” over 2 decades ago and he and his wife walked out of the theater). These are not family-friendly films or for the squeamish.
