Curry hole?


Some parts of the movie were funny, but the racist remarks against the young Indian chap were not cool. If there'd been a young African kid, and a young gay kid, getting called The N word or Fag, respectively, in an non ironic just plain nasty way, batemans career would be over. I don't know why it's ok or funny to be racist to Indians. Weird choice of movies for Bateman to direct.

It was hilarious.

I agree. I cringed when he said that to the little boy. I also found it difficult to believe that nobody they encountered in public was not interested in why two people of different races/cultures were together. I have friends who are parents to multi-racial children or a different race than them and ALL of them have been stopped by strangers to ask the child if they know the adult and are okay. No, it doesn't happen every day, but it does happen. It seems reasonable to assume this would stand out to someone especially since a very publicized competition was taking place.

Overall, I thought it was a bad movie and hardly funny. There is no reason to sink to the gutter to get a laugh. I expected more from Bateman.

That's why you've got to stand up for yourselves.

You should watch "As Good as it Gets", a delightful comedy where an angry Jack Nicholson insults Jews, gays, blacks, woman, etc.

When I'm gone I would like something to be named after me. A psychiatric disorder, for example.
