Dumb and Dumber 2 Trailer Official - Jim Carrey, Jeff Daniels

Did you just watch that?

First of all, I'm sorry.

I'm sorry that happened to you.

I'm sorry this has happened to all of us.

I feel this should encourage us to take stock of where we are as a society.

Because Sweet Mother of Christ in heaven, what the fuck. 

I haven't written a post in about 6 months and this is what brings me out of retirement.  

My first thoughts when I saw this trailer were really just a long string of profanity. There were a lot of emotions.  All of them bad. Anger. Disbelief. Disappointment. More anger.

I mean, the first movie had a couple of funny moments and some quotable lines, there was really no need for a sequel. But apparently that was a thing people wanted to happen.

And now it has.

Thanks a lot, assholes.

I hope you're all happy with yourselves.

There is a certain point where a movie goes beyond simply being unfunny. A whole new level of unfunniness that is actually offensive. 

And I don't mean offensive as in the jokes are racist or sexist or homophobic. I mean offensive to me as a movie-goer.  Offensive to me as a person. Offensive to me as a sentient being who thinks thoughts.

Jeff Daniels... why?  

Why are you doing this?  You're a respectable actor.  You're on 'The Newsroom'.  That show is so intellectual that it's bordering on obnoxious.  But in a good way.

Jim Carrey... eh.  My expectations weren't high.

But this?

How dare you.

I'm not even going to try to explain why this movie is a goddamn travesty.  If you aren't already on board with that, there is no hope of me convincing you.

If I had to sit through the entire thing, I'd either end up killing every person who laughed or fall into some kind of fugue state as a coping mechanism.

Shit.
