Parker Posey (via goldenfiddle & sarahcroberts, with mascarah adding: … she is damn right.) (via boutofcontext)
Oh please. Every male aged 16-24+ gets it, and that’s not a bad thing. These movies aren’t meant to “do anything for our culture” anymore than mean girls, clueless or legally blonde 1 and 2, but they certainly reflect it. They exaggerate and find humor in the real situations that young people find themselves in; the awkward sexual encounter, the uninvited guest at a house party, the sad attempt at procuring alcohol while underage—all perfect fodder for teenage comedy.
They don’t exclude women anymore than the aforementioned girl-movies exclude men. Instead, they simply characterize the opposite sex through the extremely narrow lens of the pre-pubescent male brain.
I’m sure the lovable Posey’s upcoming film Spring Breakdown will be a sexually neutral tidal wave of cultural sophistication.
