>>Genuinely disappointed with the ending.

Well the video cuts out 3 seconds before he makes it perfectly clear that he's lying to get the chick to sleep with him.

Oh, and it's weird, but the video appears to be "flipped" - when he's talking to Marshall, the lettering on the diner behind him is backwards.

Generation M: Misogyny in Media & Culture

callistan says...

I think there are plenty of valid questions in this area that need to be explored, but this video's presentation does the message a disservice. There's no contrasting viewpoints, specious implications between media imagery and domestic violence, a corny soundtrack that tells you precisely what you should be feeling at any given moment, and a bunch of self-righteous talking heads who presuppose that The Media is the villain and we're nothing but a monkey-see, monkey-do culture.

If the makers of this movie truly want to engage the intellect - and it seems to me that at least part of their point is that emotion-driven media is to blame - then they need to respect their viewers and leave the manipulative tactics out of their argument.

I love hummingbirds, my parents have some bottlebrush shrubs outside their dining room window and they're always zooming around them in the summertime. They're remarkably aggressive when other hummingbirds are around.
