In both the book and the movie,
Eddie Blake attempts to rape Sally Jupiter while they're both in The Minutemen. Years later, she cheats on her husband with him (and gets pregnant).
So the screenwriter is basically saying,
"Sure, my movie tried to rape you, but deep down you know you wanted it."
Oops, here comes that blind rage again.
Stabby stabby. What a cockbite.
OMG. how fucked up is that? I wasn't quite clear on all those relationship from only seeing the movie. I really am appalled by the last line in his letter given what you stated, Jessica.
Just ew.
Um. Yeah, I got nothing, except what a SERIOUS asshole.
Sadly, I suspect the mouthbreathers over at AICN are probably all Beavis&Butthead-ing over that line.
Maybe it was a really bad attempt at humor?
In an only-tangentially related note, I am reminded how one of my friends (I hesitate to use the word "meatspace" here) decided to refer to uncircumsized penii as "Hooded Justice."
Maybe it was a really bad attempt at humor?
HA HA HA!
rape
is funny!
edit: hmm. It's possible I'm a hypocrite. I closed the window and was reminded that this is currently my wallpaper.
I think I'm most annoyed that Hayter seems to think the reason
Sally slept with Eddie all those years later is because she'd been thinking about him, craving him ever since he tried to rape her.
That he finishes his plea with that thought makes we wonder if he believes it's the central theme of the comic.
Dude, his name is "Hayter."
I think I'm most annoyed that Hayter seems to think the reason
Yeah, that just doesn't make any sense.
Sally didn't "come back" to Eddie. Eddie came back to HER, and she didn't say no this time.
Totally different story.
