>Greg Focker is a middle-class Jewish nurse whose social and cultural position is juxtaposed against the Byrnes family of upper-class White Anglo-Saxon Protestants. With respect to Greg as a Jew and a nurse when compared to the Byrnes and Banks families, a distinct cultural gap is created and subsequently widened. The cultural differences are often highlighted, and Greg repeatedly made aware of them. This serves to achieve comedic effect through character development and has also been commented upon as being indicative of thematic portrayal of Jewish characters' roles in modern film.

>Vincent Brook observes mainstream Hollywood cinema's tendency since the 1990s of incorporating Jewish liminality and "popularizing the Jew." He explains the "manly Jewish triumph" of characters like Jeff Goldblum's David Levinson in Independence Day and labels it as a "certain answer to America's yearnings for a new Jewish hero." This stands in direct contrast to the schlemiel or "the Jewish fool" which was seen to have been revitalized in the mid-1990s after faltering since the 1960s. The schlemiel, Brook explains, is an anti-hero in whose humiliation the audience finds supreme pleasure. Within that context, Brook describes Greg Focker's character as "the quintessential example of the postmodern schlemiel." The repeated embarrassing encounters that Greg faces with his girlfriend's all-American family is compared to the example of Jason Biggs's character Jim Levenstein of the American Pie film series where Levenstein is often the comedic centerpiece due to his repeated sexual embarrassments.
Who are your favorite schlemiels, or "Jewish fools", /tv/?

A new Movie being made based off the book with the Same name, Starring Sabrina Carpenter as the lead role McKenna Berney.

have heard that this book is laced with gratuitous sex in it, most of the first half of the book contains a tremendous amount of sex scenes in it, like within the first sex scene in the book it's goes into great detail of her character preforming various sex acts on the dude she hooks up with and ain't shy about how blunt it goes into it.

I'd like to know if anyone here has read the book themselves and what they thought of it and what their favourite parts were?

Nothing like a damn fine cup of coffee after a nearly sleepless night when your muscles start getting flabby and an injury is imminent unless you correct course with sleep and/or stims.

Disney+ has revealed the official Home Sweet Home Alone trailer for 20th Century Studios' upcoming holiday adventure comedy reboot, starring Jojo Rabbit breakout star Archie Yates. The film is scheduled to make its debut on Friday, November 12.

The trailer teases a familiar premise that begins with an overlooked kid who gets accidentally left behind at home. It gives us a preview of all the fun things he'll do with his newfound freedom as well as the devious clever traps he had set for the thieves. It also teases a connection to the beloved Macaulay Culkin-led films, with the appearance of Devin Ratray's Buzz McCallister, who is now a police officer.

Home Sweet Home Alone is directed by Dan Mazer from a screenplay written by Mikey Day and Streeter Seidell, based on the story by Day, Seidell, and original scribe John Hughes. The reboot stars Archie Yates, Ellie Kemper, Rob Delaney, Aisling Bea, Kenan Thompson, Tim Simons, Pete Holmes, Devin Ratray, Ally Maki, and Chris Parnell.

"Max Mercer is a mischievous and resourceful young boy who has been left behind while his family is in Japan for the holidays," reads the official synopsis. "So when a married couple attempting to retrieve a priceless heirloom set their sights on the Mercer family's home, it is up to Max to protect it from the trespassers…and he will do whatever it takes to keep them out. Hilarious hijinks of epic proportions ensue, but despite the absolute chaos, Max comes to realize that there really is no place like home sweet home."

Home Sweet Home Alone was first announced by former Disney CEO Bob Iger in 2019, after more than three decades since the Chris Columbus-directed first movie debuted in 1990. The Disney+ reboot is produced by Hutch Parker and Dan Wilson, with Jeremiah Samuels set as an executive producer.

The Home Alone franchise began with the fan-favorite 1990 original starring Macaulay Culkin, which went on to become the highest grossing film of that year, bringing in $476.6 million worldwide (equivalent to $934 million in 2019). It then went on to become a holiday franchise with five total films, only two of which starred Culkin.

What are some recent films/TV shows that are straightforward genre pieces and don't try to pander to the SJW crowd? Void of liberal politics, wimpy betas, faggots, unrealistically stronk wymyn, unnecessary niggers etc.
