679420, Im torn. On one hand it's a big problem Posted by BigReg, Tue May-27-14 08:26 AM
IE. sexism, lack of representation, stereotypes when it comes to female characters and representation.
On the other hand, I agree with Apatow on this
"why is it always everything but mental illness?” Because that doesn't sell papers."
Or in this case gun control.
It just veers to closely towards my pet peeve argument of "Rappity rap is what causes crime in the hood" or "Grand Theft Auto makes you homicidal".
It's not hard to find Apatow's sneering contempt for the opposite sex in his movies (like Longo said above, Funny People has some great examples). However id argue that the bromance films are one of the symptoms then the cause.
