Dudity Revisited

Now as some of my loyal readers know I have recently joined facebook, which I am absolutely addicted to. Since joining facebook I have joined a couple of groups on facebook, the most recent one is called Man Law. So far there is no manlaw about blogging so I am safe with this stuff for now. The second thing that there is no manlaw for is Dudity in movies. I mean how should men handle this. For me dudity is disgusting but since my last entry I have found myself (still disgusted at dudity but....) laughing and understanding the comedic value of dudity in some movies.

If cock and balls and man ass is in a movie that is fucking hilarious than is it ok if it grosses you out but makes you laugh at the same time? This is my new dilemma. As more and more comedies come out, I have found that every movie is looking to out do all of it's predecessors. And in doing so some of these movies have turned to using more and more dudity.

Now I have to revisit my feelings on dudity because of two recently released movies. About a month ago the movie Forgetting Sarah Marshall was released on DVD. Funny movie. Another hit for Apatow productions(the guys who brought you Anchorman, 40 year old virgin, and Freaks and Geeks, just to name a few). In this movie you see quite a bit of man meat. Now, I was utterly disgusted by the sight of a mans genitalia, the way in which it was shown was fucking hilarious. A girl was breaking up with her boyfriend for six years and he was completely in the dude(nude). As the girl pleaded for the man to put some clothing on and break up with said man. The camera kept flashing the mans hog. It was I think to show how the girl was seeing it and how uncomfortable it made her. I found myself very uncomfortable but also found myself laughing hysterically.

The next movie that I found dudity funny was in a Kevin Smith flick that was just released yesterday called Zack and Miri Make a Porno. Fucking great movie. Kevin smith is a God among movie makers. But he also chose to use dudity in a funny way. At the end of the movie Zack runs into his old apartment to tell his ex roommate Miri that he loves her and as he tries out walks Jason Mewes completely dude(nude) cock and balls swinging. As the camera follows Mewes to the refrigerator you see him bend down to get something out of the old icebox and you see him from behind with his twig and berries dangling in the breeze. It was fucking gross but I couldn't help but laugh my ass off.

Now is dudity ok if it makes you laugh. My gut says no fucking way. But as an aspiring movie writer....Maybe...the jury is not in on that one yet. We'll see... when I have an answer you will have an answer.
