Indie Movie Queen Parker Posey Bashes Judd Apatow’s Humor
�
Parker Posey is no stranger to movies. She is the�darling of independent movie directors everywhere. Now she’s taking a jab at reigning big budget movie scribe Judd Apatow and his ‘frat boy humor.’
She says, “There’s so much frat boy humor out there now. This whole Judd Apatow craze – I don’t like it. It excludes girls, and it doesn’t do anything particularly great for our culture. Getting wasted, throwing up, ignoring your girlfriend, who gets that? I consider myself funny, and I don’t (get it).”
What do you think? Is she right on the money? Or off in left field?

Well, you’re mostly right in that there are sexist and offensive underpinnings to some of what Judd Apatow does, mostly in the form of obliviousness. On the other hand, it’s not completely un-redeeming. Ms. Posey, I think you’re the most beautiful and one of the great contemporary talents, but surely throwing up, getting wasted and ignoring your girlfriend are not unpardonable sins in and of themselves. If they were, then Adam and Steve (a highly enjoyable movie you will recall acting in) would not have been so enjoyable.
