Man, I wish they’d left this clip in only to see K-Lo try to minimize this away. Also, funny. (Via.)

Damn, that’d make a hell of a “Director’s Cut.”
And it’s damn right, there was more straight sex in that movie than gay sex. GRRRRR.
Where do you get this sh.. um… stuff?
I read the K-lo review - I must say that the idea that a child can bring a dysfunctional couple, with few means of supporting the child - this is more dangerous than anything else I can imagine this movie mentions. In fact, the demands of a child can be challenging to the most mature couples.
What’s ironic to me is that for this couple to pull off the ‘happily ever after’, it truly will ‘take a village’ - and that’s something conservatives hate more than abortion.
Or am I going too far by trying to project how a movie might progress according to my own political ideals.
Okay, I wasn’t going to see this, but that bit made it somewhat redeemable. “It was just the head, I promise you.”
Okay, I took Reading Comprehension 101 just now and realise it isn’t in the movie. DANG.
And I revise my favourite line to “Who the fuck does Ang Lee think he is anyway?”
That. Was. Awesome!!! And I agree, where the fuck was the Big-Super-Caligulan-Gay-Orgy in Brokeback Mountain?! I want my money back!
Baby steps, PseudoAdrienne. baby steps. They’re saving it for the sequel.
And I’m glad I found out now that this isn’t in the movie, because I would walk out of it feeling so cheated otherwise.
OK, the scene is funny, but what movie (or maybe TV show) is it from?
Just saw Knocked Up last night and I agree with your review. Fun but felt cheated by the ending, and all that.
This scene is amazing though. Wish it had stayed in.
I love the clip.
I hate the KLo:
With vagina shots and jokes and a bit of a celebration of loserism
KLo, you not so smart, girl: the vagina is the INSIDE part.
While I haven’t seen the movie, I highly doubt there’s any endoscopic camerawork.
(is there?)
virgotex:
They show (thrice) the baby crowning. With childbirth you don’t need an endoscope. I would guess Ms. Lopez isn’t a woman who has actually seen her vagina with a mirror, which is known as an hysteroscope in her world.
And you don’t need to insert the Brokeback Mountain scene to know that this movie is not post-abortion theater, but post-abortion wars theater, and the good guys won, abortion is accepted as an option.
But Kathryn Lopez holds her nose and tries to spin it that she’s OK with it. Good for you Ms. Lopez, you stuck the head of pro-choice in your mouth, now it’s time to suck it.
I’m just trying to get over how terrible Kathryn Jean Lopez’s writing is. My college newspaper had less choppy sentences. But I love how in Lopez Land, the moral of the subplot was that Allison’s sister was 100% responsible for ruining her marriage and not making her husband happy enough. Did y’all get that? (Extra bonus: She proves she’s “excessively tolerant” by linking to her glowing review of a steaming pile of misogyny, Deuce Bigalow.)
That deleted scene is hilarious and I very much agree with that kid.
Well, that didn’t work. The quote was supposed to be accompanied by the observation that, yeah, from what I can tell, a kid only makes a relationship more of what it already is. If the relationship is strong, a kid’ll make it stronger; if it’s falling apart, a kid’ll only make it fall apart faster.
There’s a word for couples that have a baby to save their marriage. They’re called “divorced.”
Holy crap, that was awesome.
Weirldy enough, I found my self on a sofa once, getting drawn into Deuce Bigalow, european gigilo.
/ought to go see knocked up.
They show (thrice) the baby crowning.
I stand corrected.
thanx
Ha ha. Thanks Amanda, that was great. Wish it had been in the film.
Oh man, I LOVE “Knocked Up.” I can’t wait for it to come out on DVD to see all the deleted scenes like this.
Though he brings up a good point… there was a disappointing amount of male nudity in “Brokeback Mountain.” I guess maybe they were going for “tasteful” or “subtle” or whatever, but if so, why did I need to see both Michelle Williams and Anne Hathaway topless?
