Oh, if you think that's bad {And it is}, I can tell you of a similar story that's even worse. So my little step brother and his uncle went to go see that 2015 TMNT movie, except the movie theater accidentally put in the wrong movie. And what movie was this? The Sin City sequel. Yeah, needless to say people were rightfully horrified and angry at this. I don't know if the idiot reponsible got fired, but I do know that thankfully refunds were given out.

Well, even big chains can make mistakes like this. I was at an AMC to see Zootopia with my 3-year old, and they had this ad about the Tribeca Film Festival and how you could get tickets by imitating famous movie scenes. And they showed people doing this in said ad. Now, if the imitated scene in question had been, for example, Bluto's "Germans Bombed Pearl Harbor" speech, that would have been one thing. But instead, my kid watched a woman imitate the fake orgasm scene from When Harry Met Sally..., and 33_Footsteps (again, three years old) asked me to explain what was going on. I said "she's pretending" and distracted her with questions about why she wanted to see Zootopia. And yes, I did send in a complaint to AMC after that.
Reminder: Offscreen Villainy does not count towards Complete Monster.Hmm...did they cut the food orgy? So far none of the ratings boards that have seen the movie have mentioned sex scenes, only "strong sexual humor" and "strong sex references". I'd think that a scene as graphic as one described in the script, even if it's between food, would be worth of a warning about "graphic sexuality" or "strong sex scenes".
So apparently, the message that this movie has is that it "posits a world where the gods are horrors, creation is inherently unfair and s****y, and the fact that we suppress our own sensual instincts because of religion keeps us in endless misery."
Talk about a Family-Unfriendly Aesop. I mean seriously? The world is harsh with no gods or cruel gods and the only way to cope is by doing everything that religion tells us not to do (like orgies)? Not only does that completely misunderstand why people follow religion, it also basically says to be as hedonistic as possible. Not a good moral.

Well, maybe it's a very dark gag about how family-friendly animated CG movies would have Family Friendly Aesops?
I wouldn't know because I'm not gonna watch this. Not because I hate Seth Rogen and his buddies (I actually look forward to their biopic on the making of The Room. Yes, that Room), but because A) Pixar-based movies truly are kind of sacred cows for me, and B) I don't want to lose my appetite for 2-3 days or however long it take for one to recover an appetite after seeing something like...this. (Pun intended, I guess.)
Actually, I am like really behind. Heck, I haven't even watched Zootopia and it's getting more praise and dough than I thought it ever would...

Well, for what it's worth, I hear he was great as Steve Wozniak in Steve Jobs, so it's not like he's a lost cause...yet.
I dunno, schilling Bud Light puts him around there.
But yeah, he went from a guy picking selectively to jumping on whatever. "Ooh, an R rated animated comedy where the joke is everyone curses and has sex...in a cartoon!" Every generation has at least one overexposed actor so I won't fault the dude for getting paid, but the returns are diminishing.
I wouldn't say Rogen's fully gone Sandler. When he starts doing blatant product shilling in his films and he does characters who are basically an OP Self Insertion, then he's gone Sandler.
A part of me wants to go see this film if only because I shouldn't really criticize it if I haven't seen it. However, it seems like the scrip leak that I read doesn't seem too different then the final product(However I do hope the food orgy and rat fingering does end up cut. At least from the theatrical cut, since I know their will be a Uncut edition on DVD).
I likely won't see it because it seems like your average bad adult animation mixed with your average bad children's(I say children and not family since the latter is more reserved for stuff like the good Don Bluth films and most Disney animated films) animated film. Cheap shock, sex, and stereotype humor mixed with constant toilet humor and a whole lot of foul language just cause.
My Tumblr "If theirs one thing I'm good at, it's blowing" Jesse Cox 2013If South Park Bigger Longer And Uncut raked in the dough during its release, then this one may MAY follow suit.
I'm surprised no Moral Guardians have gone to extremes to stop this movie from playing in theaters. Maybe I just haven't seen any stories about it yet.
"We be we baby!"
Films like this tend to run like internet trolls - We'll bait you and make you mad so you can give us the publicity and, through that, money we need to be a success!
I'd love to just ignore it and see it flop like Neighbors 2.
I thought Neighbors 2 seemed like a fun movie to watch on a lazy friday night!
Especially considering it's a commentary on religion and how it doesn't produce the results you want.
When you put it that way, and considering that all the characters are foodstuff, this might be the foil to everything Veggie Tales stood for.

"We be we baby!"

To be fair, apparently a manager just clicked the wrong movie's playlist by accident and didn't catch it until that first trailer was finished. They didn't actually think that Sausage Party was for kids.
Does anyone actually read these?
