I HATE Judd Apatow.
I HATE his movies. They are not funny. They insult women and men, and every idiot who thinks there is some sort of universal truth in his crappy sad-sack modern American male angst is full of shit and more ignorant than the average Marin County resident (which is, sorry Marin, pretty ignorant).
Knocked Up was possibly the most insulting piece of shit I've seen since Sorority Boys, though at least SB had Michael Rosenbaum to soften the blow. And Superbad, you know why the boys in that movie couldn't get laid? Because they were assholes. People like that movie for McLovin, the rest of it is utter garbage.
Whatever depth Apatow may have had in Freaks and Geeks has long since been pushed out in favor of dick jokes and fat, slacker losers once again somehow attracting hot, successful (yet somehow still portrayed as crazy, irrational bitches) women.
His men are unlikeable (oh, feel sorry for them, for they are stuck in a perpetual adolescence of their own making). His women are two-dimensional responsible boring citizens sent to redeem and tame they little boys and turn them into proper grown up husband material--and then have the husbands hate them for it. It's annoying and repetitive (Anchorman is saved mostly by Will Ferrell and Steve Carell) and I really, really don't get America's fascination. (But then, America hasn't had a strong woman lead actress since...um...well in a while, so I guess that says clearly who the audience for movies is).
One more stupidly excited Apatow fan is going to make me lose it.
(And even though Apatow didn't make it, don't even get me started on the problems with Juno).
