Love in a Time of Zellweger Shot on mini-DV, 3CCD camera Used "Cinelook" filter In Adobe After Effects to simulate film graininess Okay, so I hate Renee Zellweger. And yeah, I hate Tom Cruise. Doesn't Everybody? I mean, just look at these fuckers. This film is an excerpt from a longer screenplay-in-progress about angry 20-somethings in love. I've always enjoyed films with overly witty dialogue. It's not necessarily realistic, but it is fun. And of course I've always hated the film Jerry McGuire, and scientologists in general. I'd hoped for better results in the "Love in a Time of the Beast" segment, but due to limited time, limited budget, etc., I settled for some weird filters and sound effects. Also, remember not to fuck goats. More generally, there are some interesting questions regarding the nature of role reversal this film brushes on -- i.e., how do we react to lesbian "I want to fuck her" versus heterosexual male "I want to fuck her"? Is "fucking" equally ideologically laden in this way? Interestingly, in the couple of screenings this film got, the girl saying "you just want to fuck Tom Cruise" to the guy gets bigger laughs, doubtless because being male and gay is still less culturally acceptable than being a lesbian. Hence, being accused of being gay is still "funny" in some way. Of course, I probably did this part just for the cheap laughs, but that doesn't mean it can't have an ideological agenda as well. |
