Q. It came as a complete shock and disgrace to me this morning when I discovered that Netflix is refusing to make “Trash Humpers” available on its website. “We don’t expect Netflix to carry anything they don’t want to, for whatever reason, but it serves as a reminder that this is the price we pay when we allow one entity to control the lion’s share of content distribution,” according to a statement from the film’s distribution company Drag City.
It serves as a genuine wake-up call for me. All of the independent video stores are closing their doors, and it will soon be just Netflix and Redbox left in operation. In fact, it makes me want to cancel my Netflix membership rather than have them try to keep a film away from me that has played at festivals such as the Toronto International Film Festival, New York International Film Festival, and London International Film Festival, among others. The fact that I was adamant about not watching “Trash Humpers” is worth mentioning. Despite the fact that I do not particularly enjoy Harmony Korine’s work, I do support his right to make films of his own choosing. (Submitted by Ryan Sartor of Fairfield, CT)
A lot of people are talking about Netflix’s decision right now. I haven’t seen “Trash Humpers,” and it’s unlikely that it will be released in a theater near you anytime soon, so video will be the only way to see it. It does not appear to be pornographic in nature. It appears to be offensive in nature. Is this the reason why Netflix turned it down? According to Variety’s Rob Nelson, the film is about a group of actors who dress up as old geezers and wander the alleyways of Nashville, and the film is currently in production “A variety of tasteless activities include slapping televisions with sledgehammers, blasting an empty wheelchair with a self-service car-wash gun, spanking a trio of lingerie-clad women, lighting fireworks, singing, cackling incessantly, and other such antics. In the end, the result is something like the television show ‘Jackass,’ except that the stunts here are only dangerous to standards of good taste — which, of course, is precisely the point of the show.”
In a nutshell, Drag City’s statement is accurate and to the point. A key function of Netflix is to act as a link between filmmakers and film audiences. I understand why they don’t want to deal with extreme pornographic material. However, it appears that “Trash Humpers” merely offended someone’s sense of humor. Netflix is not a part of my life because of their taste, but because of their movies.
Q. Based on your examination of “”Secretariat”: “Neither Penny Chenery, Secretariat’s owner, nor the horse’s trainer were fortunate enough to ‘luck into’ the horse. As the film explains, she was able to win the horse by losing a coin toss, which she had hoped to lose….” Did you not just describe a stroke of good fortune? Is it possible that Chenery has mastered the art of manipulating coin tosses to fall in the manner she desires? (tigertooth)
A. It wasn’t just a stroke of good fortune. When it came to deciding which mare she wanted, she relied on her knowledge of bloodlines. She made the educated guess (perhaps fortunate) that the millionaire would be less knowledgeable and would choose the wrong mare. As a result, either (1) she wins and gets to choose the mare of her choice, or (2) she loses and the millionaire gets to choose the mare she doesn’t want to ride.

Q. Are you looking forward to seeing the Star Wars films in 3D for the first time? In Los Angeles, Ronald Z. Barzell has written a piece called
We are expected to go through a plethora of different restorations, restoration revivals, refurbishments, retreads, and renovations. The Star Wars films are fantastic works of art. What is it about George Lucas that makes them feel like they’ve outstayed their welcome?
During your review of “Hereafter,” you mention that you do not believe in the supernatural. Can you elaborate? Woo-Woo, what exactly does this mean? (Submitted by David Slater of Nashville, Tennessee)
A. Wow, that got a lot of people talking. Carol Miller of Fargo, North Dakota, sent the following message: “Is it really true that you don’t believe in ‘woo-woo’? Is that a slang term for something in particular? Do you have faith in God? I’m not concerned with whether or not you believe in an afterlife; I’m interested in a review of the technical aspects of a film, such as the acting, story, and so on. Although it is somewhat condescending, the term “woo-woo” should be avoided at all costs.” In addition, a reader who went by the name AnyEdge wrote: “I’d like to state unequivocally that the phrase “woo-woo” comes dangerously close to being hate speech. I identify as a functional skeptic (though I am not a member of the movement) and have serious reservations about people who believe in things that have been proven to be false, such as homeopathy. However, to use a derisive, derogatory term such as this to describe other people’s beliefs, even those beliefs that we know to be false, is beneath the dignity of rational discourse and should be avoided.”

Isn’t woo-woo a term that’s fairly common? In the review, I’m using it to refer to mind-reading and psychics in general, so bear with me. According to Wiktionary.com, there are two definitions: Supernatural, paranormal, occult, or pseudoscientific phenomena or emotion-based beliefs and explanations are all included in this category. (2) An alcoholic cocktail made with peach schnapps (schnapps), vodka, and cranberry juice is also included in this category. It should not be confused with the word Woo Hoo, which can mean (1) a lot of excitement or (2) in the video game The Sims 2, a lot of sexual tension.

The existence of telepathy or life after death has not been proven by science, but you and Clint appear to believe in one but not the other, according to your statements in “Hereafter.” Rather than taking a leap of faith and believing in just one thing, why not believe in two things at the same time.

A. I’m not sure what Eastwood thinks about it. In spite of the fact that I do not believe in telepathy, I believe that it is theoretically possible in the physical universe. I do not believe that life after death is possible in the physical universe, and neither do the vast majority of those who believe in it.
Q. I read your review of “I Spit on Your Grave,” which is a remake of a film that I am familiar with but have purposely avoided watching. Aside from that, I have no plans to see the remake. However, I found your comments on vengeance to be interesting and shared them with my feminist wife, who is a regular contributor to feminist causes. “First and foremost, let’s put an end to the fiction that the film is about ‘getting even.'” You wrote: If I rape you, I will be found guilty of a crime. “If you kill me, you have committed another crime against humanity.”
She was quick to point out that you had made a grammatical error in your comment. If we understand you correctly, rape is a less serious crime than murder; therefore, if you rape someone and that person murders you, what they have done is escalate the situation, which is not equal and cannot be considered “even.” My wife, who has done extensive research on violence against women, will point out that women who are raped are frequently psychologically damaged for the rest of their lives and, if given the choice, would choose death over life. Jennifer, on the other hand, ensured the acquittal of her perpetrators by murdering them. Instead of living their lives in fear of dark parking lots, empty houses, and being alone with members of the opposite sex, they will live their lives in peace.

About the quiz
My response to your wife’s point is that I was not equating rape and murder, nor was I even attempting to compare them. I only used them as an example to illustrate my point. If I am harmed, it is because I have been wronged. If I cause harm in retaliation, I am causing harm to someone else. Philosophers have been debating the moral issues involved in this case for hundreds of years. However, in the case of “I Spit on Your Grave” (2010), the film relies on the revenge theme to keep its true content hidden from the audience.
Also, you must try to play this Scott Pilgrim Vs The World quiz.
Yes, the hero and heroine are raped. Yes, she comes up with elaborate and sadistic methods of torturing and murdering them. So, do they even have a chance anymore? No, because in the first half of the film, the psychological goading of the women is deliberate and realistic, and it expresses, in my opinion, a genuine hatred of women and women’s rights. Later on, the woman engages in bizarre and “entertaining” acts of violence that will be familiar to horror movie fans. The film is divided into two parts. As a result, the film is not about a woman seeking retribution. It’s about a woman who has been horribly mistreated, and who is then forced to work to provide entertainment for the goons in the audience who didn’t leave during the first half of the show. What baffles me is why so many women are drawn to this film. Or men who are infatuated with women?
Q. Why haven’t you done a review of “Scott Pilgrim vs. the World” yet? Given your (embarrassingly) tumultuous relationship with video games, it would appear to be fertile ground for a nuanced and controlled critique of video game culture and its effects on other forms of media, even if the film underperformed at the box office.

Despite the fact that video games do not rank high on my list of turbulent relationships that I am embarrassed about, I have been surprised by how frequently I have been asked your question. I took a month off work to work on my memoirs, but I didn’t get to see “Scott Pilgrim.” I’m still sleeping at night, though.
