I enjoy reading comments from Jackson and appreciate her Christian testimony - including an admission to failings in the past that the left would point to as hypocrisy.

Saw the last Jack Black movie about the movie cast lost in the Vietnam jungle. Several parts of that movie were similiar and quite distasteful, nothing this bad.

Guess I can take this off the list.

If I shoplifted a T-shirt when I was 15, does that mean I can never in my life say shoplifting is wrong?

There is a severe collapse in our culture that would even pay the money to see such a picture. Much less take my child to see it.

I noticed the five year old kid sitting a few rows away from me this morning at the same movie; I don’t think he belonged there. Of course, it gets the PG-13 rating because there is no actual sex scene (though there probably will be one in the “unrated version” released next fall). All the vulgarity is confined to words and implications, rather than explicit shots.

MPAA ratings are given out just by checking stuff off on a list, and studios know full which specific things to avoid to get that coveted lower rating. You just can’t expect to rely on the rating system for anything beyond the most general of guidelines.

What a backwards, Bible-thumping ignoramus!

No wonder me and Apatow never hit it off.

My, my, doesn't Jackson know it should be "No wonder Apatow and I never hit it off."?!?

This lapse in language skills clearly shows that Victoria Jackson is inferior in intellect to comedy writers that make movies about anal sex bestiality.

/S

Video games today have better stories, plots, characters, and morals than does Hollywood.

Isn’t that alone saying enough?!

"I started crying in the parking lot as we walked to our car. I am not from this world. I am an alien. No wonder me and Apatow never hit it off."

You are not alone Victoria! There are many times so many of us have felt the same way you do and done the same thing you did...

I am often surprised by some of the people who have, after all, turned out to be on our side.

Victoria Jackson, from back when SNL was actually funny.

I am not from this world. I am an alien.

I've been feeling that for around 30 or so years. This planet is nothing but an insane asylum. Don't think so? People pay good money to see sewage like "The Hostel".

People mewl of "peace" and getting along, etc, but all they really live for is darkness.

I have no idea who this is about but it’s been 53 years since I went to a movie and have no intention of doing so in the future..

PG-13 ratings are at least what R used to be when I was a teenager back in the olden days. Most of them are actually closer to what used to be X-rated. I cannot imagine a movie back then getting an R rating that even discussed the things that are apparently in this movie. Since when is that stuff not porn, verbal or otherwise? Good grief, GREASE was rated R because of a couple of vulgar lyrics.

Many parents have been fooled by these ratings, taking a PG-13 rating at its word...I personally wouldn't take my 14-year-old daughter to a PG-13 movie without seeing it myself or doing real research. Heck, I wouldn't take myself to see most of them....even PG movies sometimes cross the line.

I guess I'm either getting really old and prudish, or the world is going crazy.......

Just my 2cents,

"I went on a date with Arthur Godfrey right before he died"

Wiki

Godfrey was married to the former Mary Bourke from 1938 until his death in 1983. They had three children.

I just saw this movie with my wife. I really was hoping that they could capture some of the fun of “History of the World Part I” which was taboo, but i think good fun - poking fun of ourselves.

This movie was just awful. I think she’s got it right when she says it made her feel “dirty”. It made me feel dirty. There were 7 people in the theater (and it was an 8:50 showing at a popular theater) and not one time did anyone laugh until the outtakes. Everyone in the theater looked at each other as they walked out - knowing that they were now a lesser human being than the one they walked in as simply for seeing that movie.

I was hoping to get a good laugh out of this movie. With politics these days being so heated, I really wanted to take a lighthearted look at how crazy life of the past used to be in the eyes of today. Instead, I got a movie that was the equivalent of watching those Saddam Hussein movies where they throw people off the side of a building for punishment.

I did laugh at two of the outtakes. I guess for $26.00, that’s all I was entitled to.

And can I just say something to the gay community. Enough already. There were no lesbians in the the time of Isaac. No matter how much you want to show that your “kind” have always been around. They haven’t. Enough already. Get over yourself. If you need acceptance, see a shrink. Otherwise, can we please stop talking about your sexual preference. I don’t care what you do. I’m just sick of hearing it. You’re obsessed with yourselves.

We watched a stupid one recently (My Best Friend's Girl Friend). I'm not a prude or easily offended, but the levels of crassness and vulgarity are being taken to new extremes. Though going deeper than they used to in Hollywood to shock the bourgeoisie, there is nothing new in this. [See Épater la bourgeoisie ”here“.]

Hollywood's movie writers today produce trite, vulgar, screenplays that lack the ability to be interesting, funny, or entertaining.

Most of us should spend little money on what they produce. Buy a Kindle and read the great books that you can get for free. See http://manybooks.net/categories/

I have always liked Victoria Jackson. She was the star of SNL when she was on, and one of my favorite X-File episodes of all time (and I’ve seen them all) was the one she starred in where the weatherman was secretly in love with her and he inadvertantly caused horrific weather conditions when he got emotional. Now THAT was an episode that could make you cry... with joy. Great episode.

By the way, this article by Victoria is the first time I ever saw or heard of the name Jude Aspertow.

Better by far than some other options so common to many in such spheres.
