Movie Review: Humpday One Of The Best Comedies Of The Year!!!!
Tonight, I went downtown to the Cumberland Theatre with a friend to see the movie “Humpday”.
The comedy, “Humpday”, takes “bromance” ,to the ultimate level.
Ben and Andrew are old college pals, they have drifted apart for ten years.
Andrew is a free spirit, although he feels he hasn’t gotten his life together.
Ben is more stable he has a job, beautiful wife, and a home in the suburbs.
When Andrew suddenly resurfaces in Ben’s life, he starts to question if it is the right time to start a family?
Ben feels like he has missed out on his youth.
Anna starts to feel left out when Ben begins to hang out with Andrew again.
Andrew takes Ben to a party where they get drunk and high.
Ben and Andrew propose the idea of making a gay porno and entering a Seattle alternative newspaper’s porn festival contest.
Humpday is not homophobic, the central theme is about the “boundaries” between friends.
Would you have sex with a friend just to prove a point?
Andrew and Ben are basically trying to prove they are both macho.
Ben wants to prove to Andrew he is not a complete square.
Andrew presents the image that he loves having a “carefree” life, but he secretly wants more structure.
The film also questions “masculinity” and male “vulnerability”.
The catch is Ben and Andrew are straight men.
Eventually, Anna finds out about the porn idea she is mortified and angry at Ben.
However, Anna tells Ben he has her blessing to make the gay porno movie with Andrew.
Ben confesses to Andrew he once had a same sex attraction when he was a teenager.
Ben and Andrew rent a hotel room together to make the gay porn movie.
You will have to see the movie to find out the ending.
However, I will say “Humpday” is one of the best, quirky, intelligent, movies I have seen this year.
NFL Superstar Ben Roethisberger Accused Of Rape. So Why Is His Alleged Victim Being Burned The By USA Media?
NFL superstar Ben Roethisberger, has been accused of raping a woman last year at a hotel resort in July 2008.
The alleged victim, she is suing Roethisberger, and her fellow employees at the Hotel for defamation.
The American media, have already released the name of the victim.
However, I will not disclose the name of the victim on my blog.
According to the alleged victim, she says she went to Roethisberger’s hotel room to fix the television set.
The victim says Roethisberger would not allow her to leave the room after she fixed the television.
Next, the victim says that since Roethisberger is six foot five, she was very afraid of him.
The victim told Roethisberger she was had no birth control, but she alleges he lifted her dress, and penerated her against her will.
I believe it is gross misjustice and misogyny by the USA media to release the name of the alleged victim.
The alleged victim’s rights have been violated. It is true the alleged victim is taking Roethisberger to “civil court” and not “criminal court”.
However, the public has no right to know this young woman’s name.
I also find it interesting that ESPN did not “immediately” report the Roethisberger case.
It appears ESPN is protecting Roethisberger, they waited over an entire “day” to report this.
ESPN is owned by ABC, which is owned by Disney, in the United States.
Is Roethisberger being treated differently by the USA press because he is the mythical norm?
A couple years ago, NBA superstar Kobe Bryant, was accused of raping a woman.
Every single media out immediately pounched on the story. The radio shows were caught on fire for months.
I sense with the Roethisberger case there is only a “muted” response. I wonder why?
The alleged victim’s “mental health”, has been already challenged, immediately by the USA media.
The victim is taking Roethisberger to “civil court” and not “criminal court”.
Is ESPN operating under “different” standards? What do you think?
