I hate the fact that 12 people can "decide" what is and what is not obscene when you can't even get those same 12 people to agree on what the best movie ever made was - or the best topping on a pizza for that matter. I hate that our industry is always under the gun but this is a prime example of why!
I don't give a fuck about Max. Fuck him and the horse he rode in on. His shit is obscene and I damned sure don't want him to blazing a path and anyone who is hollering about what he does should be protected under freedom of speech - pony up to your convictions and toss on a white hood and walk around Harlem on a Friday night cause that's protected under freedom of speech as well.
How many of you will do it? Not 1 damned person and not because of any racial prejudices but simply because you can do something doesn't make it a good fucking idea. You know you'll soon be getting a cap busted in your ass.
When Flint pushed back, about the worst a person would see was a hot chick with goo on her face and the chances are good that even if none of the 12 actually ever had the chance to give the wife "a different kind of facial than she goes to the spa to get", you'd have at least 1 on the jury that wanted to!
Max was all but raping that girl - simulated or not and finding 12 folks who didn't think that was obscene is a much harder task to accomplish.
We're between the religious right and the moral majority. Max was a mosquito taking bites whenever he could and he finally got bitched slapped for it. Every great once in awhile the big white horse needs to feast on someone. It's not like it's overly difficult not to make yourself look appetizing.... sheesh!
