It just disgusts me to see this guy on TV. Does he have an unbreakable contract? Is he blackmailing the president of CBS? He is so OBESE that his belly hangs down below his jacket. It is GROSS to see him try and maneuver around and interact with people. It is gross to watch him do ANYTHING on TV. What offends me is that if he were a woman, there's no way he'd even be on that show - he'd have been booted in a NY minute. What a double standard!!! He's not even that good nor interesting... WHY, WHY, WHY is he still on that show? He's the reason I watch everything BUT CBS on the weekend! Ira Joe Fisher is one gross person and it's time he quit inflicting himself on innocent viewers!
What a coincidence - I ran across this movie entirely by accident and in a very ironic way. My teens had friends over this week and had rented some DVDs. They usually go for horror flicks (nothing above R!) and Chumscrubber was amongst the titles they'd rented. I was immediately put off by that title, assuming that it was another stupid horror movie since the synopsis wasn't on the case.
Then this morning I was perusing the movie channels and came to this thoroughly interesting, quirky, darkly comedic movie about parents and teens in suburbia. I couldn't help but continue watching...then I thought to check the title. Chumscrubber! What?
I was actually flooded with emotion the more I watched the movie. Was I, too oblivious because I made assumptions about a movie due to its title, a movie my TEENS rented? One that had WAY more substance than I thought? They're actually interested in quirky, intelligent movies with substance? Did my kids see their world like that? Which of the adults would I be? The whole thing is just so incredibly ironic considering the situation, and the place we are in our lives at the moment.
I also have a somewhat dark sense of humor and the movie made me laugh as well. The young actors were superb and of course that goes without saying for the adults - all accomplished and excellent. They did not at all overshadow their characters. It IS very hard to describe this particular movie - one would just have to see it.
Since I came upon it on the movie channel after it had started, I'm now going to get the DVD my kids rented and watch it again (despite the title)!
