The last time Judd Apatow's name on a credit made me smile was "The Larry Sanders Show."
Still, I wouldn't, for a minute, think to blame those two guys for what Elliot Rodger did.
Who'd think that? A self-satisfied bone-faced bitch named Ann Hornaday, who arrogantly spits her half-baked theories via Washington Post editorials.
Hornaday actually thinks that watching a dopey comedy in which the sad sack loser gets the girl...led to a homicidal rage that killed six people?? That Elliot Rodger walked out of "Neighbors" seething with anger, got three semi-automatic rifles, fired off a 140 page "manifesto," and began his death spree by knifing THREE ASIAN GUYS????
The main thing wrong with Ann Hornaday is she has no dick.
Therefore, she is not equipped to judge how guys react to women. Not really. Guys are perpetually horny (but not for skull-faced Hornaday). Every guy who isn't a snotty Bieber clone, resents or has resented, at one time in their lives or another, how the hot chicks only look at the hot guys.
That doesn't mean that they go homicidal, and the ones that do...have bigger issues involved than seeing some shitty comedies!
Ann Hornaday doesn't seem to understand that Seth Rogan didn't pioneer the "arrested adolescent" gets lucky film scenario.
Ever since the first film comedies, ugly, stupid, hopeless "heroes" got the girl. Charlie Chaplin was a dirty tramp! Was W.C. Fields good looking? Groucho Marx? How about all the bumbling assholes in the 40's and 50's like Red Skelton and Danny Kaye and Eddie Bracken and Jerry Lewis, who all played "adolescent" and man-child in films? Even the 3 Stooges and Lou Costello had some pretty decent looking babes looking twice at them. That's part of "funny," and that's part of fantasy.
To blame Apatow and Rogan...well, that's just a typical feminist nut searching for some event to hang a bad theory on.
This bitch didn't even bother to check the facts. Crazy bastard Elliot Rodger didn't think of himself as a bloated, awkward Jew named Seth Rogan. He identified as supremely intelligent (something no film comedians ever are) and quite good looking (not Woody Allen!) An autistic sociopath lunatic, he was in fucking THERAPY before he even reached puberty!
Before this brat ever saw a Rogan or Apatow movie (assuming he ever did) he was already raging about girls not taking him seriously. He had a sense of entitlement and a great deal of arrogance and refused to learn the basics of how to get along with anyone, much less girls. When girls weren't impressed (and at that age, they were more inclined to find boys "icky" anyway), his resentment began to simmer.
It really takes someone almost as crazy as Elliot Rodger to come up with a theory that schlub comedy leads to murder. Someone else at the Washrag Post could've blamed it on gangster movies. And some other editorialist could've blamed it on lax gun control, violent rap songs, or the outrage that there aren't enough half-Asian role models for young half-breed self-entitled Austistic spoiled brat lunatics to admire.
Elliot Rodger was in therapy for years and years. A shrink would have a very easy time is the problem was simply, "Hey, kid, don't be jealous of Seth Rogan..."
Elliot Rodgers exhibited plenty of symptoms of being self-centered and delusional. And Ann Hornaday exhibits some of those traits, too. Really, Washed-up Post, keep an eye on this bitch. She might go running down the halls one day with a semi-automatic. Blame it on her not being as famous as Ann Coulter. Or as good looking as Ann Curry. Or that she's Ann Asshole.
