    He has the face of someone who I should want to make out with, even though I'm not partial to blond guys. Regular features, a square jaw, appealing 5 PM shadow, nice hair.

    And yet, I want to punch him instead. Repeatedly, until he squeaks. Perhaps because I can tell just by looking closely that he's not all that clean downtown, or perhaps because I've seen that smirk before, and usually on a Republican cutting funding for HIV treatment.

    Apparently, well-tuned gaydar also comes with an asshole detector. #tuckermax

    Did it ever occur to Tucker that this so-called huge fan was maybe lying to him and just didn't want to go see the movie? I think Tucker hasn't realized that his time has passed. He cannot reclaim his glory days. Move on. #tuckermax

    In reply to Tucker Max Has an Explanation
    I market movies for a living. Therefore I can officially diagnose the problem with the film as being three-fold.

    -The film went too wide, too fast. A grassroots campaign doesn't work out to a 140 screen release. It needed to slowly ramp up.

    -He played only to his fanbase, nobody that hasn't read the book has heard of him, and therefore the movie.

    -Tucker Max is a fucknugget, and the only way non-fucknuggets will see his movie is if it features him getting repeatedly sodomized by a subway turnstile. #tuckermax

    The movie did so poorly that its box office take never even merited mention by Nikki Finke. That has to hurt. As must the box office performance of Paranormal Activity. Poor old, sagging Butter Face, outsmarted by a video game designer. #tuckermax

    In reply to Tucker Max Has an Explanation
    I know they advertised during sports, and so, in the 2 weeks preceding release, I know his fans had ways of being aware, as I know non-Gawker readers who I chatted with about the ads.

    Also, movies that suck still manage to make money, so neither of those explanations really works for me. I would say it's more 'ineffective' advertising (via shitty clips used) mixed with people giving less of a shit than his book sales imply. #tuckermax
