< BACK TO Fresh Intelligence Tucker Max's "Rapey Fratty" Response
Max has long had his detractors, but it's the movie more than anything that seems to have riled up his haters. After blogger The Script Reader got her hands on his script, I Hope They Serve Beer in Hell (currently in production in Shreveport, Louisiana), she went to town: "Holy crap, It's terrible. I'm talking Godawful. Even with the offensive factor set aside, it's in my top 10 worst comedy scripts ever read (out of probably over a thousand)," she wrote. "Invariably in Tucker's stories, someone gets pissed off and says his jokes aren't funny, and if that someone is a woman, she's dismissed as ugly and/or fat and therefore too bitter and angry to get the joke, while if that someone is a man, he's dismissed as being a meathead and therefore not cool or smart enough to get the joke. If you are confused by this last, let me clear it up for you: Tucker Max is unaware that he is the definition of a hazey, rapey, fratty meathead." Then Gawker got a copy of its own and posted two excerpts, neither of which went over particularly well with the denizens of its comments section. We contacted Tucker, who is on set until September (just wrapped up a scene at a strip club!), for comment. Here's what he had to say regarding The Script Reader: "It seems like the height of comedy to me when failed writers cast aspersions on successful writing. I guess I would be pissed off too if I tried so hard for so long with nothing to show for it, and then some big, dumb 'rapey fratty' came out of nowhere to spend three years on the best seller list and got a movie made. Of course, if that happened to me, I would stop and reevaluate what I was doing wrong and he was doing right. But that's just me, and I'm not very smart...just successful." As for the anonymous blog hate? "What's a Gawker commenter?" You go, Tucker Max! I've never read any of your super-popular Dick Lit and personally, I wouldn't fuck you with somebody else's pussy. But I can definitely see how other women would-- I, for one, have met some pretty dumb bitches in my lifetime. And, as an 'unsuccessful writer,' might I say I completely envy your ability to capitalize on this great country's rampant idiocy and miserably low average collective IQ. I am totally "reevaluating" what I am doing wrong, right now as I am typing this comment. Oh yah, and speaking of comments and/or "Gawker commenters," I'd like to suggest: Eh, fuck them. Those high-fallutin elitist judgmental geniuses were never gonna go pay to see your movie ANYWAYS, which I'm sure is going to gross like, a bazillion dollars. Hey, have you ever heard of Julia Allison? Maybe you two oh forget it. Never mind. Posted by: pxthis on August 6, 2008 1:31 PM That's a breathtaking career arc. Kudos, indeed. What's next? Grow a dick? Posted by: KarenUhOh on August 6, 2008 1:33 PM tucker max's dreadful appearance on the opie and anthony show is nowhere to be referenced or metioned on tuckers site. why? because they outed and caught him in his lies. pathological liars like him can only go for so long under the radar, but now hes being exposed. check out the gawker link that shows how he plagiarized '30k millionaire' and the joke about becoming the king of england. he manages to plagiarize jokes and make them unfunny. that is revolutionary! look for tucker's fans to post now and say 'while i dont agree with tucker, he is brilliant and a nytimes best seller!' they coordinate on his message board to counter these negative reviews. Posted by: cigarlove on August 6, 2008 2:35 PM It's funny how he chooses to attack the person who wrote the article rather than come back to the points she made, probably because he knows that that would be a losing battle. Discredit the writer - you discredit the article (at least in the eyes of anybody dumb enough to think like that). Nice little dig at Gawker too, it should ensure that he stays up on the main page for a bit longer, even though thousands of people are ridiculing his script. All press is good press, Tucker! The whole Rudius/Tucker Max messageboard is a complete Mongolian clusterfuck of groupthink where any negative comments get deleted within minutes. There's a whole bunch of Stans who truly believe this is going to "change the genre forever" and none of them have even seen 5 seconds of footage. Don't get me wrong.. of course the movie will be successful - if you've read the script excerpts you'll know it's appealing to the exact same people who go see crap like Meet The Spartans. Omfg he has sex with a midget!! And he takes a dump in a hotel lobby!! Don't taze me, bro! Posted by: Luelinks on August 6, 2008 4:50 PM Advertisement Tucker calling The Script Reader a failure is so crazy - and it shows Posted by: cluedin on August 6, 2008 6:07 PM i'd get more worked up about this if he wasn't just another viral mutation of joe francis. Posted by: sailor on August 7, 2008 6:02 AM He and Julia Allison should totally hook up. They can fuck the talent out of each other. Ugh. Posted by: SuperAdge on August 8, 2008 11:19 AM |
