So I went to see Bad Santa and there was this one part where:
Santa is having sex with a woman and says something like you aren’t going to shit right for a week (month?). There was then a running joke that women he had sex with wouldn’t shit right. Why would having sex make a woman not be able to shit right?
The more confusing joke in the film (which I liked, by the way) was this:
Santa’s getting the evil eye from a guy in a bar, a guy he’s never seen before. Later, that guy appears in the parking lot and tries to kick Santa’s ass. It’s not very well handled, but the implication, I think, is that this is a closeted homosexual who is driven by the hatred of his internal conflict to attack people he imagines might be gay, so he can “revenge” rape them and meet his sexual needs without actually admitting to himself that he’s gay. I had to explain this to my wife, who didn’t get it (she also liked the rest of the movie, though), and I’m not sure I’m right. It’s definitely a clunky bit in an otherwise entertaining film.
Anyone who has an alternate theory on this bit, I’m all ears.
Oh, and may I just add that I cannot believe how stupid people are getting. At one point in the film, after Bernie Mac has learned the whereabouts of the owner of the car Santa is driving and pays him a visit, the woman sitting behind us turned to her friend and said, “Oh, That’s the boy’s father!” Not as soon as he came on screen mind you. After he started asking how Grandma and the boy were.
Nice connection, there, James Burke.
I wonder how long it took her friend to explain to her after the movie why that didn’t look much like a mountain exploring campsite.
Because her Santa fetish requires that she be on his lap (I cite as evidence the fact that 100% of the times we see between them having sex, that’s the position.)
