475494, I'd like to take this moment to say "Fuck Tucker Max" Posted by duD, Mon Sep-14-09 08:34 PM
fuck the publisher who put his book in barnes and nobles across the country
fuck anyone who bought his book
fuck anyone who even read his book
fuck the studio that put their money up to make his book into movie
fuck the television stations who keep showing commercials for his movie
and fuck anyone who pays to see his fucking movie.
that is all.
thank you.

475521, what's funny to me is that Posted by SankofaII, Mon Sep-14-09 11:27 PM
he's still the same douchebag like he is in the books...
i mean, how you gon be 32/33 and still acting like a douche bag and still trying the very shit you pulled in the book?
and his sidekick...yuck
they both look like walking STD petri dishes...
and what's sad is that the movie will probably make a grip of money too.

475624, same reason Dane Cook got big Posted by Mgmt, Tue Sep-15-09 12:54 PM
I had heard about this shit before, didn't sound like a book I would read. Now at least I know the guy's name.

475595, FINALLY Posted by Oak27, Tue Sep-15-09 11:16 AM
this dude is just not funny
right now im a college kid and like every guy i know and even most girls worship the guy
but hold the fuck up... they are making a MOVIE out of his "stories" ?
|
475612, a few years ago, before I knew who he was, I read an entry on his website Posted by duD, Tue Sep-15-09 12:10 PM
and i didn't find it entertaining at all.
I thought maybe I just read an "off" article
so i read another.
same.
and then another.
same.
then I punched a hole in my computer monitor for wasting 15 minutes of my life.
He owes me 15 minutes and a metaphorical computer monitor.

475603, i went to school w/him. Posted by SoWhat, Tue Sep-15-09 11:46 AM
we had a class together. i wish i could remember what class it was. if it was Feminism and US Politics i'll die.
anyway, he was a douche back then. and he's made a career out of it.

475615, i'm sorry. Posted by duD, Tue Sep-15-09 12:18 PM
|
475662, you were 97/98 ish? Posted by SankofaII, Tue Sep-15-09 04:39 PM
at U of C?
I heard some crazy stories about how he used to get down and act a damn fool...
|
475606, That movie is going to tank Posted by Marauder21, Tue Sep-15-09 11:52 AM
If it had some promotion and was released in the summer it could maybe make it's budget back, but now? Nope. The target audience spent all their money on roofies (new freshman girls coming to campus this year bro!)

475646, eh. the original stories were funny, but you could read them all online Posted by bshelly, Tue Sep-15-09 02:20 PM
so i agree with the "don't give the asshole money," but hey, free is free
|
475658, He's also full of shit. Those stories are total lies. Posted by Frank Longo, Tue Sep-15-09 04:13 PM
They turned his book into a shitty Road Trip esque caper. GOOD.
|
475659, I vaguely remember an article i read about him Posted by duD, Tue Sep-15-09 04:20 PM
that highlighted all the lines he stole from OverheardInNewYork.com
|
475661, Yeah, I saw a clip on youtube Posted by Marauder21, Tue Sep-15-09 04:36 PM
where he was on this radio show and the hosts were calling him out in a subtle-but-really-not-that-subtle-unless-you're-extremely-thickheaded manner for putting a bunch of shit in there. Can't remember exactly, I think it was some story about him vandalizing or breaking into a doughnut shop and there was no police report filed. He just sat there like "yeah, it was pretty crazy."
|
475731, It was on the Opie and Anthony show Posted by Paps_Smear, Wed Sep-16-09 08:24 AM
They didn't believe a fucking thing this liar had to say. Got to the point where they just kept turning his mic off while he's talking to fuck with him. When he walked out of the studio they threw his book at the door then started to rip it up.
|
475735, Yeah, that was it Posted by Marauder21, Wed Sep-16-09 09:11 AM
I remember seeing them rip his book up too, I laughed. What an oblivious tool.
|
475663, We? Tucker wrote the screenplay... Posted by SankofaII, Tue Sep-15-09 04:43 PM
i think it will be a hit with the white frat boys and girls...
but they promotion hasn't been that decent i only saw one promo and it was on at MTV...at 3am in the morning...
who knows?
|
475677, i have never heard of this guy...some things are just too white for me Posted by Basaglia, Tue Sep-15-09 06:16 PM
i try to be up on everything going on, but this feels like a big whiff. i need to read maxim and details a bit more.
|
475709, actually, you dont... Posted by SankofaII, Tue Sep-15-09 10:16 PM
just go to his site and get the jist...

475683, I bought and read the book when it came out Posted by amplifya, Tue Sep-15-09 07:57 PM
It was funny at the time
The movie looks terrible
|
475710, Gonna tank worse than Grindhouse. Posted by CliffDogg, Tue Sep-15-09 11:19 PM
|
475714, But.. Posted by ansomble, Wed Sep-16-09 12:54 AM
>fuck anyone who bought his book
: (
>fuck anyone who even read his book
: ( x2
I bought it because it seemed funny when I was thumbing through the pages while working at Amazon.com...
I think he is a dickhead and the movie will tank though.

476010, Ha, they're trying to take his ads off of the buses here. Posted by duD, Thu Sep-17-09 11:19 AM
http://www.chicagoreader.com/TheBlog/archives/2009/09/16/next-weeks-outrage-today-tucker-max-cta-ads
Eric Zorn has an unconfirmed spotting of a horrendously offensive ad for Tucker Max's new movie on a CTA bus. Coincidentally, we got a letter to the editor today spotting a different, no less offensive one ("Strippers will not tolerate disrespect...HAHA, just kidding!").
I'm going to go ahead and set the over/under on "CTA pulls ads, does embarrassed public groveling" for Tuesday. That seems like sufficient time for heat to build and for the CTA to realize that ironic misogyny isn't something they should be parading around town.
Letter to the editor after the jump.
Dear Chicago Reader,
I was appalled today at an ad on the side of a CTA bus: "Strippers will not tolerate disrespect...HAHA, just kidding!" The ad is for the new Tucker Max movie, a film that glorifies the mistreatment and sexual exploitation of women.
I am outraged that this foul message is being endorsed and publicized by my city. It is not funny—it is abusive, and it must be removed from the buses. CTA authorities should be ashamed.

476013, Actually, a big controversy will only help this movie Posted by Marauder21, Thu Sep-17-09 11:41 AM
|
476017, i'm sure it was in the marketing plan, even. Posted by duD, Thu Sep-17-09 12:02 PM

476026, i remember watching that dude way before he blew up Posted by 3xKrazy, Thu Sep-17-09 01:05 PM
