controversial film viewing at nc state university

Published Aug. 25, 2009

Tucker Max, author of I Hope they Serve Beer in Hell has a planned viewing of his controversial film named after his book, at NC State University Wednesday afternoon. This movie is composed of stories of encounters by Max, and his sexual encounters with several women. In this movie, women are disgraced and are used as sexual objects, for Max’s pleasure. He commits many acts that are not only despicable, but, at many times, are illegal. Despite a call from the women’s center at NC State, the movie is still planned for Wednesday afternoon, and the Women’s center has requested candlelight vigils and a silent protest scheduled for before and after the film’s viewing.

I have read the book and I'm going to see the movie. All the women depicted in the book are of the legal age and nobody forced all the drinks down there throats, nothing illegal about it. Just a bunch of militant women at least its going to be a silent protest.

well it was made in nc? and its about being in hell? wow thought living in nc was hell lol!

Watch the carp on VH1 sometime. Then complain about this guy.

good lord freezy, i couldnt believe the garbage mtv has on now

I like the title.

Really? I've read the book. I don't think it's worth protesting one drunken idiot's take on life while he was in law school at Duke. Didn't think it's worth making a movie over...or protesting.

Tax dollars had nothing to do with the making of this movie. And I think it's a little silly to protest a movie/book that they haven't seen (per the Technician article, only one person has read the book).

By the way, I'm sure Max's blog will be updated in the next week or so where he will undoubtedly brag about "scoring" with one of the protesters.

@gz111: You think those are bad? Turn on MTV sometime.

gz, amen to that

"In this movie, women are disgraced and are used as sexual objects..." -blog

Most of the daytime soap operas and Lifetime/LMN melodramas are based on this same stereotypical premise. Yet where's the outrage?
