Sausage Party

[XYZpdq]

Imagine trying to attend a movie with some triggered tumblr autist who won't stop sighing and bitching and then just randomly insults white people for no reason.

Like hell's version of MST3k.

 

[ccoinhoarder]

A lot! No where near as edgy.

Huh. I guess seven years (I think) is enough time to dial down the bullshit. Guess I have to go find some crow to eat.

 

[nyess]

So as it turns out there's a current stink going on social networks from animators and supervisors for the film describing the conditions they underwent making it, one worker stating that around half the overall artists who worked on "Sausage Party" weren't added to the credits roll.

So I'm guessing this is why I found a slew of negative (non-SJW that is) reviews. Huh.

 

[Shokew]

So it's not the film that's bad (even though most of us agree it is...) - it's the way people who worked on it were treated that's bad. And I agree - these uncredited good folk weren't treated with the respect they deserve for making something people out there like, even if we all don't agree with their opinions.

Fucking studios...

I WAS LOOKING FOR THIS THREAD. Never in my life have I been saltier about something since I heard Michael Bay was producing a remake of Hitchcock's The Birds.

I read the script leak for the entertainment of my friends, all 104 godawful pages, because apparently they get off on my suffering. Kinky.

Spoiler: Sperging/Nitpicking ahoy

-It's got a seriously 13 year old level of humor with the cursing and the dumb sex jokes every five minutes to the point of tedium/repetitiveness
-The condom really does act like a rape victim and it's...actually kind of creepy and out of left field (it also raises a lot of questions; just like the toilet paper in the drug addict's house: where the fuck do you draw the line with what is and isn't sentient?)
-The racist stereotypes were so over the top that it stopped being funny (the Nazi sauerkraut was an example of a good stereotype, but Uncle Tom's Rice and Firewater were just...not.)
-Everything about Douche and his rats.

Spoiler

There's a scene where he fingers his favorite rat's asshole and then shoves it into the flatbread Muslim stereotype's mouth as a form of torture. Nevermind the part where he bathes in the guacamole innards of a different villain and has the rats lick it off him. Or-...look suffice to say, Douche is really fucking creepy.

-Some puns are actually clever (the honey mustard is a 'jarhead' and one of the main hot dog characters is named Frank) and then others just make no damn sense (Sammy Bagel Jr.?)
-It just...ends? They murder everyone human in the store after making them see the food is sentient and just leave, like, there's no followup/aftermath to the fucking 10 minute massacre.
-There's some other plot-related nonsense that's deus ex machina-y (druggie's collection of medieval weapons) and just plain doesn't make sense (the fact that apparently food was aware of the 'murderous' aspect of the humans in the 50s until the nonperishables brainwashed them to forget; but unless humans were eating sticks and rocks before 1950 it doesn't make sense), which, seems odd to complain about for a comedy movie but it ties into the sentience thing above: if you're going to make it a plot point you should at least close your fucking plot holes

Now, in the right hands, over the top and offensive could be funny (again, Mel Brooks could have pulled something like this off; or Leslie Nielsen/Naked Gun), but Seth Rogen just throws his idea of "adult humor" at your face like...like...

I ain't giving this unfunny fucker my money, but soon as a decent streaming copy is up, I just know I'm going to have to watch it and see how much of that awful script holds up. I'm hoping whoever above me said the thing got toned down is right.

The rats never make it to the final film.

 

[Scratch This Nut]

I'm gonna check it out tomorrow and share my thoughts, I sure am loving all the salt surrounding it, though.

 

[Brian May]

It never occurred to me to actually watch it. I probably should once a decent torrent arrives.

 

[nyess]

I have seen the movie















And it really wasn't worth paying to see.

 

[x86x2]

I enjoyed myself more than it should.
It's probably because all the stupid humour really grew on me, and it was just so stupid I couldn't help having a grin on my face.
The Meat Loaf pun I expected, but chuckled at anyway, and the food porn orgy was so over-the-top that I couldn't help myself.

Can you give a good scale review on it?

 

[nonnewtonian]

While this is dumb as hell, it does make me want to make a Seth Rogen movie bingo game. "Seth casts himself as hero" can be the free spot.

 

[Henry Bemis]

Question: Which movie is more offensive: Sausage Party or Foodfight?

Sausage Party being a deliberate experiment in offensiveness, whereas Foodfight was made by people who seemed oblivious to how the Nazi allegory and out-of-place innuendo would go over.

 

[Scratch This Nut]

Well I saw it today. Wasn't too bad. I actually kinda liked it. Thought the first third was kinda shit, the second was good, and the last third was just unreal.

The orgy scene is even worse than any of you thought.

I'm still baffled that tumbrinas would go to an R rated Seth Rogan comedy about sentient food, called "Sausage Party" for fucks sake, and be shocked that it isn't a safe, PC, comfortable space.

Short of blaring alarms with red strobe lights outside of each theater, screeching like the fire alarm from hell, how could it have put more warnings out?

Their idea is that nothing offensive should be allowed to exist because it might hurt someone out there's feelings, even if they went out of their way to be offended by it.

If you just killed people who get offended by things, nobody would be being offended. That would be optimal utility.

They're fascists at heart even if they have absolutely no interest in something they believe it should banned because it offends them.

I had free tickets so I went to see it last weekend.

I liked it. I mean the swearing and overall vulgarity was definitely at "completely unrestricted Seth Rogan" levels, but eventually it just kinda stopped bothering me.

Although I have to say, the 2-minute food orgy was probably one of the most bizarre things I've ever seen at a movie theater. But like, with a crowded theater full actual people (and my sister, since y'know bonding and shit).

Also the literal douche villain was fun to watch, and is easily my favorite character.

Spoiler

The whole "god is bullshit" speech was super heavy-handed though. Like I get it, you're an atheist.
