Zack and Miri Make a Porno

Zack and Miri Make a Porno is another mating story--people never seem to tire of these, like it’s something special--in this case about a pair of people that live in the same place but don’t mate, and we’re supposed to be surprised by that (don’t know who wrote this but apparently they haven’t grasped the idea of estrus cycles). Anyway, then they decide to make a movie about mating and they mate, and then the male leaves. Somehow this is all expected to carry great emotional weight. I don’t know, I just felt like I was missing something, and not just because I’m neutered either. There is a dog in this movie, if you want to call it a dog, very small and docile, it’s basically here for set dressing, and you know, dogs, it’s up to us how we’re portrayed in the media. If you take a role where you’re nothing but an accessory, that’s how people will see us. Someone has to put their paws down and say “Grr!” to those kinds of parts! Let the cats take them! I think this is a first, but I have to say paws-down on this movie even though it features a dog. Sorry.
