Even when I did smoke weed, it was never my favorite thing. And I guess it’s kind of funny that "the imperishable”-three grocery items that let Rogen’s frank Frank in on the fact that the Gods and the Great Beyond are just myths, and outside the supermarket there’s only death and consumption-get their buzz by smoking out of a kazoo. The movie’s prime mover, Rogen, is a doge of stoner humor, and he shows incredible discipline in this film by saving the first weed joke for twenty minutes in. “Maybe I’d like this if I still smoked weed,” I thought at one point. I feel bad about this, because the voice cast contains not just super-talented actors but some friendly acquaintances who happen to be super-talented actors. Once in an interview the very humorous Kevin Smith said to me, “Comedy is so f**king subjective.” I have to be honest here and say the comedy of “Sausage Party” never really connected for me. To wit, the movie’s villain, or rather, sole-non-human villain, is an extremely irate feminine hygiene product voiced by Nick Kroll. But given that the hot dogs and the buns then engage in an exchange of dirty talk that makes Cartman in “South Park: Bigger, Longer, and Uncut” sound like Joel Osteen, “Sausage Party,” directed by Greg Tiernan and Conrad Vernon from a script by Rogen, Goldberg, Ariel Shaffir and Kyle Hunter, with a story credit going to voice actor and executive producer Jonah Hill is spectacularly relentless in its profanity and sex talk and extends the metaphor of anthropomorphic groceries into territory you and I might not have even imagined.

Meanwhile, "Wonder Woman" is coming out for DC next year, and there's a Harley Quinn and company film in the works.
At least Marvel is now committed to giving Black Widow her own solo movie, which would presumably follow Captain Marvel's 2019 solo film, which will be the MCU's first female superhero solo film. It does seem strange to change a character's gender out of fear that not enough people will buy the toys, but that's marketing for you. He further joked that Darth Vader was first written as Darlene Vader, "a talented, powerful woman who struggled to balance her imperial ambitions with raising her rebellious twins." plus, "Doctor Doom: Why does he have to be a man? Are you saying a woman can't be a doctor, or be an evil techno-sorcerer? They better fix this in the next 'Fantastic Four' movie, and there better not be another 'Fantastic Four' movie." I mean everyone had to have Meryl Streep from 'Sophie's Choice.' I really struggled with whether to open that one or keep it in the box. Back in the '80s, we weren't so hung up on the gender of our action figures. 'Iron Man 3' had a writer?!" But he joked that it made sense that they had to change the villain for the toys, since, "Girls don't play with dolls."Ĭolbert added, "This is so disappointing. So we had to change the entire script because of toy making."Ĭolbert's reaction: "This is shocking. We had finished the script and we were given a no-holds-barred memo saying that cannot stand we've changed our minds because, after consulting, we've decided that toy won't sell as well if it's a female. Which is that we had a female character who was the villain in the draft. "There was an early draft of 'Iron Man 3' where we had an inkling of a problem.
The Marvel Cinematic Universe is kind of a sausage fest, and I gotta say, all that spandex really showcases the sausage."Ĭolbert also referenced the recent report from "Iron Man 3" writer/director Shane Black, who said he was told to nix a female villain for merchandising reasons. "I could not help but notice when I watched, sitting there in the theater, absolutely thrilled by the movie, so many of the characters had something in common: Iron Man, Ant-Man, Spider-Man, Black Panther Man. He made it a focus of a new "Late Show" segment:
Stephen Colbert loved "Captain America: Civil War" as much as the next fan, but he's not giving the Marvel Cinematic Universe a pass on its lack of interest in female characters.
