That's very cute! Up until now I was a little on the fence about whether to see "Knocked Up," but this makes me more enthusiastic about it (I realize this scene is deleted, but it makes me think the rest of the movie will be funny). It's satirical, but for ONCE it's satirizing the right target -- the straight men who felt uncomfortable with what sex there was in the movie rather than the content of the movie itself.

My favorite part is how she listens to him and starts thinking and nodding her head and goes "I'm with you on this."

Thanks for posting it, Eric!

That was really great!  I know Jake would be cool about it.  I watched the "19th Annual GLAAD Awards" show today on TV on Logo's ON DEMAND digital video.  Jake was just great.  So was Ben Affleck!

I don't know, that guy's rant grossed me out. I don't like hearing that kind of talk unless I'm watching a hard core porn movie. He could have easily expressed his POV just as passionately using more circumspect language.

ANd NO st8 guy would ever admit that his bud stuck his dick in his mouth, even if true. That bit of script writing is an example of Hollywood wishful thinking. It does not reflect reality in mainstream America.

It was meant to be funny and way and over the top.  It was never meant to be taken seriously.  In fact, yes, it's a little too over the top (but brilliant!) and therefore I can see why the scene was cut.

Exactly!  :laugh: I haven't seen "Knocked Up," but this seems off-topic. It probably works better as a YouTube video than it would as a movie scene. In fact, maybe it's actually strategically placed advertising.

That's the point, though -- not only would no str8 guy ever say that, very few str8 guys would say ANY of that! It's satirizing the opposite, but equally ridiculous, way str8 guys DO react to BBM.

I didn't get it. What is the writer saying with this scene?

By the way, though, I am really anxious to see this movie. I have to go sometime, since it's released.

LOL! I think they were thinking exactly this:

"Phew....Thank God Ang didn't decide to turn it into an X-rated movie at the last minute...and us not having read the fine print in our contracts that said we have to do everything Ang says, even if he turns it into an X-rated movie...."

Well, you could probably interpret it different ways. But I think the writer is making fun of the way straight men usually act about BBM, like it's horrible to have to watch even what gay sex there IS in it, and that the only consolation is glimpsing Ann Hathaway's breasts.

Mainly, as I see it, it's just being silly and fooling around with the idea that very few straight men would react the way that guy does.

BTW, I saw the movie yesterday and thought it was pretty funny and cute. I wished this scene had been in it, though I guess it would have been kind of OT.

I'm in a vast minority, I guess, in that I didn't like this movie much at all.  (I like the deleted scene, though.  Go figure.)  I found it very misogynistic - the women were portrayed as hysterical, hormonal bitches, and the men, while certainly flawed, were portrayed as being the voices of reason.  I wouldn't want to live (or even be friends) with either of the two leading women.  I found them annoying as hell.  Take, for example, the way the one overreacted to finding out what her adorable husband (Paul Rudd - yummy) was hiding from her.  Most of us would be relieved to learn it wasn't what we most feared and in fact was something pretty innocuous.  But she flies into a rage.  I don't know - I guess I just don't like Judd Apatow's "humor" overall.  I didn't think The 40-Year-Old Virgin was funny, either.  At all.  It was on one of the premium channels one night, and I couldn't get past the first 15 minutes of it.  I only went to see this one because my local paper gave it 4 stars (out of 4).  I'd give it 2 1/2 at best.  But then, I'm just a hysterical, hormonal bitch.  ;)

That's interesting! I wasn't crazy about the sister, either. And who could be mad at Paul Rudd? But I thought the main woman (I can't remember her name) was cute and nice -- amazingly easygoing and open-minded. She manages to find qualities to love in a crude, not-hot, unambitious, almost-broke guy, smiles patiently when he does stupid things, tolerates his obnoxious friends, etc. Of course, there's something of the "According to Jim" beautiful woman with schlubby guy syndrome to it. But somehow watching it I wasn't as bothered by that as I often am. I was surprised they managed to make the guy likeable by the end.

That's true.  But that whole scene where she made him get out of the car because he sided with Paul Rudd's character made her out to seem like a hormonal bitch.  I know we're overly emotional when we're pregnant, but we're generally not completely irrational.

I think the main problem is that I went into it with elevated expectations because of the four-star rating and all the great reviews (none of which I read beforehand, and when I read them now, I'm like "Hunh?").  That'll teach me to not live by my mantra of always keeping my expectations low.

I haven't seen "Knocked Up" yet, but I watched "The 40-Year-Old Virgin" on cable recently.  There was lots of crude, explicit language and some depressing attitudes toward women, but in the end I thought it did justice to the real insecurities and longings of people without belittling them too much.  The few episodes of "Freaks and Geeks" I saw also convince me that Judd Apatow has something real to say about the average Joes of the world.

As to the women being hysterical and the men the voice of reason, it sounds like a comic device that the story was built around.  There are plenty of shows out there where the roles are reversed.

Four stars, though?  I'm with Barb in thinking that was probably over the top.  And you just know that critic didn't give BBM the same distinction.  ::)

I... I can't get this line in particular outta my head:  "Gyllenhaal's mouth is practically watering the whole fucking time.  Shove something in there!"

On rewatching - I think that the character in the scene really is gay, so it's not a matter of "No straight guy would admit to" what he admits to - it's a matter of he really likes watching guys get it on because he'd like to do that himself.

I do like how it spins the typical homophobic "jokes" on their ears very much, indeed, though.  :)

Well, fortunately it was deleted, so Jake won't have to deal with it on a "mass" level anyway.

I agree with you about the MTV Video Awards and the Espys - I've never forgiven Lance for telling that joke, and I honestly had a hard time forgiving Jake for finding it funny and allowing them to use it in such a notoriously homophobic venue (if what Lance said he said about it - that he "loved" it - really was true).

This didn't seem nearly as mean-spirited to me as those jokes did - I thought this was more about the character wanting to see some real action between the two of them because he was turned on by it and about making fun of people who refuse to see the movie because they think these very kinds of things will be in it, or the people like the guy who stomped out of one of my screenings of it at the beginning of the Siesta Motel scene because he couldn't even stand the sight of two men being tender in bed together after the (unshown) fact.

I guess the "Gyllenhaal's mouth was practically watering" line struck me as funny because it really wasn't true, and it was really more a reflection on the guy who was saying it instead.

Maybe that's just me ???

I been here and there, Janey.  :)

And I get you about that line - I guess I just took it as reflecting what was on that character's mind rather than what was or wasn't on Jake's.  Hopefully he'll take it the same way and won't be insulted.

I don't know about Jake finding it insulting. He seems to have a pretty good sense of humor, and he knows that being the occasional butt of mild jokes is part of the deal of being a rich and famous celebrity. But more importantly, isn't he playing a character whose mouth is SUPPOSED to be watering? Figuratively speaking, I mean -- that's an over-the-top way of putting it, in line with the character's entire monologue. But the guy in the video is not talking about Jake Gyllenhaal the actor, he's talking about the character he's playing, and commenting on the content of a movie in which Jack WAS lusting for Ennis. I don't see how that's particularly offensive.

The LA joke, on the other hand, WAS offensive. Partly because he was talking about Jake, not his character, partly because it turns the humor back around to its usual place: a (presumably) straight guy laughing at a (presumably) straight guy for seeming gay.

Excellent point there, Katherine.  The character in KU would not refer to Jack and Ennis as "Jack and Ennis" but as "Gyllenhaal and Ledger," as he does.

And I absolutely agree that the LA "joke" was offensive on a few different levels.  Again, I lost all (or most) respect in him for that one, and I have a hard time believing that Jake actually "loved" it (but if he did at the time, I think he's smart enough to have realized after the fact, perhaps, that it was not such a terrific idea after all).  He appeared genuinely surprised at it at the time.  He's a great actor of course, but I don't believe he was pretending to be stunned by that one.  If anything, he might have told Lance he "loved" the bit with the T.O. book when he came out to present, which, though also offensive for the same reasons, wasn't nearly as bad.

Or maybe it's just all wishful thinking on my part.

I had heard Anne Hathaway had been considered for the lead in this movie, but she turned it down because of the graphic birthing scene. Can you imagine that deleated scene with that guy telling her he didn't want to see her (Anne Hathaway's) tits?

I haven't seen the movie y'all are mostly talking about - but I'm with Meryl on "The 40 Year Old Virgin."  I'm glad I made it through the boorishness at the beginning, and really like it by the end.  Same is true for Anchorman and Dodgeball.  These guys are actually mocking the macho stereotype.

I'm totally with you, barb - er, not about the hysterical hormonal bitch part  ;) - I was vastly insulted by the premise.  In this day and age?  What were they thinking?

Then the rest of the movie was just offensive all the way around.  I was embarrassed by and for everyone in this movie.  I didn't find it funny - just annoying.

Totally agree.  In retrospect, I can't believe I went to see it at all.  You'd think my having seen Kill Bill, Vol. 1 get four stars, then having run out to see it only to be - big surprise - utterly mortified and disgusted - would have taught me.  Fool me twice, shame on me.
