De-Gaying “Humpday” For DVD

Pink to blue, guts exposed, and a lady in the middle, “Humpday” goes from theatrical to DVD:

Cinematical seems to think the changes serve the movie better - which in a sense, they’re right - “Humpday” really isn’t a gay movie - its a movie about 21st century relationship between two heterosexual men. But it’s the likely reasoning behind the change that irks me. “Humpday” did not do well at the box office.  And this new, much less gay marketing campaign is likely a direct reaction to that, with Magnolia fearful nervous straight people wouldn’t dare take that original pink marketing to the Blockbuster checkout counter.  Maybe straight people deserve more credit than that? Or likely, a big chunk of them don’t. But still, as Cinematical writes - people are going to see this as backpedalling - and I am certainly one of those people. And more over, the new poster is just kinda ugly and generic.

Dear Roseanne,

I held on through the last season of your sitcom, two seasons of your mediocre talk show, and endless nonsensical rants on your blog, hoping one day you’d prove yourself the beacon of hilarity and comfort you once were.  But Roseanne - what the fuck is up these homo/transphobic, tasteless, and dreadfully unfunny webisodes spoofing Cher and her transitioning son Chaz you’ve stooped to “producing” (and Jackie Beat wrote and stars in, which makes it all the more sad):

Please, Someone Euthanize This Woman

 

Open Casting Call For “Sex and the City 2”

Are you capable of acting like an “international type”? A “professional soccer player”?  A “fashion model”? A “urban club goer”? A “gay and lesbian”? A “celebrity type”? An “upscale socialite”? Then a role as an extra in the Sex and the City sequel might be for you!
