Right, I remember that now. Not quite the same as my crack, but I'll make a slight change anyway.

Shit, was it? I'm a big fan of Patton's, but I don't remember that line from any of his stuff. If I lifted it, I did it subconsciously.

Now that you mention it, "blowjob robot" does sound familiar. Ill go back through some of his standup and change my line if it turns out I stole it.

It wasn't just a joke, it was a criticism of the film (or, at the very least, of the existence of the film). And it's one that I've heard from way more people than just you, including the Family Guy episode that your friend ripped off which you then overheard.

Sorry mate, but whether you thought about what you were saying or not, you were repeating a criticism of the movie that I fucking can't stand. I assumed it was one you stood behind, but I guess not.

I'll retract my "Fuck You" and direct it instead at whoever you heard say it and meant it.

(As an aside, I also completely detest when people hide behind "it was a joke" as if it somehow makes the truth that the joke wraps inherently uncounterable. It's like saying something completely offensive and then saying "no offense" or prefixing a completely personal attack with "nothing personal, but...")

I actually really despise this criticism (which you lifted from Family Guy, by the way).

First of all, it's not accurate. I have never watched the show, but I have seen both movies, and it's abundandly clear that the only "whore" is Samantha (the one that the joke, oddly, does not call a whore). Miranda is a careerist, Charlotte is damn near a prude. As of the first movie, they are both in married, monogamous relationships, and as of the second movie so is Carrie.

More importantly, these characters are, in no way, "whores" even in the show as I understand it. They were all seeking love and relationships, and part of that quest included sex (and the frank discussion of it). These women simply treat sex the way men do: they enjoy it. I'm utterly sick of seeing women who are comfortable being sexual beings called "whores" or "sluts". Are we still so puritanical that we are so offeneded by women who like sex that we have to resort to name calling and derision?

Even Samantha is not a "whore" any more than your basic male is, and not even in the same ballpark as men (and especially teenage boys) in movies. The other three are still nowhere near that level. When people make a crack about Sex and the City being about whores, it makes me want to punch them in the face. You're holding our society back, dickwads. Its not the middle ages anymore, our womenfolk don't need to be chaste and pure while you blast your own jizz in anything warm that moves.

My biggest complaint is that SATC2 had to go to the middle east because frank discussion of sex by women was shocking in America in the 90's, but not in 2010. This kind of comment shows that its still somehow shocking to the western world. It's pathetic, you're validating the sense of smug accomplishment that the shitty filmmakers have about their movies.

This movie sucks because it celebrates decadence and shallowness during a recession. It sucks because its characters don't grow. It sucks because the writing is shit. It sucks because every god damn joke falls flat on its face. It sucks because it's utterly pointless. It sucks because it's a brainless vehicle for fashion designer product placement.

It does not suck because it's female cast likes to fuck. Fuck you.

No, I changed it. It was previously set to "monospace" which was rendering pretty nicely in some browsers, but picking shitty versions of Courier in others. I standardized it to all be the same font.

Not sure I'm completely satisfied with it though. Thoughts?

Holy hell, how do you people notice shit like that?

Well, the movie came out in August but I wrote the script in October.

Generally, I do 13 scripts per year, bare minimum. That's how many issues of Total Film get published per year. So usually, I publish one a month.

Sometimes it doesn't work out easily. So Basterds went up late October, this one went up early December (and 2012 is posting later in December as well). That doesn't include scripts I write exclusively for the site or scripts I do for Cracked.

In any case, don't check the home page over and over again. Look into subscribing to the RSS feed and save yourself the hassle, that way you will see when I update. You can also follow me on twitter (@theeditingroom)

So hello Lee,

At no point in this post do I use either "it's" or "its".

1960s vs 1960's is a style choice, both are correct in English: http://andromeda.rutgers.edu/~jlynch/Writing/a.ht...

You're a moron.

I already washed my mouth out with tomato soup, is that alright?

So why can't Dumbledore cast a spell on Hogwarts so that Harry can't be touched by evil forces as long as he can call Hogwarts "his school"? Then just never let the shit graduate, or make him a professor.

Sounds like the books are just as stupid as the movies.
