Could You F**k Your Same-Sex Football Buddy?

Here’s the new movie poster for Humpday, a film you really have no reason to know much about unless you’ve been hanging around the festival circuit. It played very well Sundance, and several of us got a chance to see it at SXSW (I have no idea why we haven’t reviewed it yet — I’d written it in my head, and it just occurred to me that I’d never actually written it down). It’s a phenomenal mumblecore film (Mark Duplass is apparently the king of mumblecore), with a bizarre, uncomfortable premise.

It’s about two old very heterosexual friends who decide, basically on a dare backed up by a lot of red-meat male pride, to do a gay porn together. It’s an awkward, uncomfortable, but mostly hilarious flick directed by Lynne Shelton. I mean: Look at those guys. Do they look like two men who would want to sleep together? Trying fucking someone of the same sex if you’re 100 percent straight — not an easy thing to do. You remember Indecent Proposal? That would’ve been a much more interesting movie if Robert Redford had offered Woody Harrelson a million dollars to sleep with him.

Anyway, it’s great. It’ll be out in July. Here’s that poster:

This looks ten thousand times better than Zack and Miri.

Um, that premise is complete and utter bullshit. They do it on a dare and ? A hetero dude isn't doing gay porn on a dare.

Give me a million dollars, 75 viagras, 40 cialis, some acid, a handful or roofies, a cockring, some girl on girl porn on a 50 inch screen that is two inches from my face, and make the guy one of those Vietnamese girl-boys, oh and hypnotize me into thinking I'm having a threesome with Adriana Lima and a 19-year-old Britney Spears and after 20 or 30 keg stands maybe, MAYBE, this goes down.

This seems like the next logical step after I Love You Man. First comes bromance, then comes brof**king. Or would that be brucking?

Next up on the plate is Seth Rogan starring in an actual gay porn with Jason Segal and Paul Rudd. Martin Starr, Samm Levine and John Francis Daley show up for a very special cameo/threesome.

Taylor Hicks made a gay porn movie?

This might work better if the two dudes weren't so damned ugly. Even guys who fuck other guys wouldn't fuck these guys.

Yep, that's pretty much the feeling of virtually every hetero guy who read that perfectly expressed.

I don't know why, but it'd make more sense if it were girls. It's not just that it would be sexier, it just sounds more plausable that way.

Agreed. Hell, it's my job and I'd rather jack knife into a shark tank while wearing a meat suit than fuck either of these two.

YES. Those guys are just gross. Fuck, Dustin, if you're gonna give us shirtless at least make it worth our while. Blergh.

I'll make sure and pass that along to Ryan Reynolds.

I know, right? I'll be so glad when filmmakers give up on all this stuff that doesn't happen in real life. Movies will be much more fun then.

Seriously, the movie is pretty fun.

Posted by: socalledonlycousins at April 27, 2009 8:38 PM

Funny enough, Figgy. The guy on the right, Joshua Leonard, is actually a really good looking guy (he was at the screening we saw). He clearly gained a lot of weight for the role. Check it out. Or maybe I'm completely wrong.

Posted by: Dustin Rowles at April 27, 2009 8:39 PM

Beyonce Rowles (L.O.V.E.) >> Wait a second - I'm confused. So you're saying you're straight?

Kidding - consider the sentiment shared.

Come on everyone, by not responding to this, you're missing out on a perfectly good tangent about lesbians.

Posted by: George at April 27, 2009 8:47 PM

That's the dude from Blair Witch Project!

To me the premise seemed a little tired at this point, but the people in my office who saw this movie raved about it.

Posted by: DarthCorleone at April 27, 2009 8:49 PM

I might be tempted to go on a good lesbian rant, but it's Monday, I'm fucking tired.

That and I can't walk from all the hot lesbo action I got all weekend.

Posted by: Sharon at April 27, 2009 8:54 PM

They're not that bad looking, sheesh, they're normal guy attractive. Of course, I like scruffy looking guys so, maybe I'm confused? Checking Dustin's reference picture, clearly, I'm not.

I have no problem with Frog Princes even when they're frogs. Why in the hell am I single?

I'll watch this. But I'll bring guy friends with me to make them feel uncomfortable. Mwahaha!

Posted by: Kayanne at April 27, 2009 9:45 PM

Gosh, just the mere idea of their hot flabby guts jiggling away with all that action makes me, well, makes me wanna barf up my dinner. That I ate last year.

On the other hand, why, helloooooooo Sharon. Rawr.

Posted by: Janey at April 27, 2009 9:49 PM

I'd do a dude if the money was right... And I never had to talk to him again.
You need to understand how destitute I am. I'm in double digits, monetarily.
But it really would take more than just a dare.

Posted by: Optimus Rhyme at April 27, 2009 9:58 PM

I would be totally into this, only because awkward scruffy totally-het man love sounds a lot hotter than it probably is. I mean, think about it. They would be totally weirded out, and then one of them pops a boner, and watching them deal...mmmm...

Also, if it was about two het girls, not even mumblecore would use average looking actresses like this movie used average looking actors. Bleh.

Gah!!! You're so right, Donut Plains. Sigh, stupid Hollywood. They've accepted the Average Joe, but they can't welcome us Plain Janes! Well frick to them. Hollywood may not think I'm hot enough but the guys who work at the Mexican Restaurant next to the salon I work at sure do.

Posted by: Kayanne at April 27, 2009 10:08 PM

That's the dude from Blair Witch Project!
Posted by: DarthCorleone at April 27, 2009 8:49 PM

Holy shit! You're right!

I thought that dude was delivering pizzas or working in a liquor store. Way to go Josh!

Nice to see he's still working in horror. (I mean look at them, you just know one of those guys has a welcome mat sprouting out of his lower back!)

Posted by: Bane at April 27, 2009 10:15 PM

Ha! I checked their IMDb pages and the leads in this are both cute! I feel vindicated and not crazy.

Posted by: Kayanne at April 27, 2009 10:40 PM

I imagine Martin Starr would be more of a fluffer. . .

Posted by: adam at April 27, 2009 10:49 PM

Dustin, he sort of looks like Owen Wilson. And that's not a good thing. But he does look better than in that poster.

The other guy is better. They still look scary in the poster.

Posted by: figgy at April 27, 2009 10:51 PM

I think the concept if executed properly could be comedy gold. I'll take your word for it, Dustin, that the movie is funny. I'm just saying that they could of come up with something a little more creative than a "dare" to kick off the plot.

Posted by: L.O.V.E. at April 27, 2009 11:58 PM

I call bullshit. I've seen you pic.

Damn you, beyonce, damn you to hell for making me associate that name with awesomefuckinfunniness.

Posted by: , (the commenter formerly known as bucdaddy) at April 28, 2009 12:58 AM

Bah! It was confirmed that I am in fact a "Plain Jane" in the thread that I showed off that silly little picture.

And I have no idea what you're talking about with the beyonce/awesomefuckinfunniness connection. I'm confused.

But it is true. When is hollywood gonna cast a simply lovely average lady as a romantic lead in a headlining comedy? *shifty-eyed glance at Judd Apatow and Kevin Smith* I mean, come on, y'all. And SJP does not count! She's not average looking. She's got the kind of look that the fashion industry insists is "haute couture" and "unique" when most people would classify her as "meh."

Although I still think the two guys above aren't as retch-worthy as most of the commentors here seem to. So maybe if they put a girl up there with a big nose and swinging hips (ahem, i can call it cause I can rock it) y'all might just throw a fricking fit.

I mean I can't stand even the concept of Beyonce Knowles, and here someone with the handle beyonce rowles (L.O.V.E.) makes me want to rend my garments for enjoying the hell out of a comment with that name attached to it.

Posted by: , (the commenter formerly known as bucdaddy) at April 28, 2009 1:37 AM

I glanced at the title of this and originally thought it was an afternoon comment diversion on whether you'd fuck ur same name (opposite sex or same sex) buddy. That being someone who's name clashed with yours. I was then gonna extend this idea to family members names. Needless to say I wouldnt fuck someone with the same name as me or any with the same name as family members. Grandmothers names are where I draw the line as they all seem to have become indie vogue (ie Nick and Norah from that Arrested Development muppet and the girl that was the other virgin in the 40 year old virgin) but the girls in these indie films are rendered vaguely sexless by their purloining of my grandma's names.

Posted by: jim of the lower case at April 28, 2009 4:31 AM

If by "dare" you meant "do this or you watch your family die slowly" or "do this or your dick gets chopped off," then we're getting somewhere.
Okay, now I really need to know what the dare was. Chalking it up to male pride is not enough. No amount of male ego or peer pressure would convince a completely hetero male to do that. Sharing a woman in a threesome? Okay, but there are firmly established and universally accepted rules regarding contact, both physical and occular. Now, if they were roaring drunk . . . no.
Aarrgghh!!! WHY THE FUCK DO THEY AGREE TO FUCK EACH OTHER!?!?!?
Damn you, Dustin.

Posted by: Kballs at April 28, 2009 9:06 AM

optimus, i have...let's see, 83 dollars in my wallet.

but i can get more.

Posted by: gp at April 28, 2009 9:36 AM

Maybe I'm just being a bitchy old queen, but I kinda find the premise idiotic and offensive. Acknowledging that gay sex between two straight male friends would be awkward is deserving of this year's No Shit, Sherlock Genius Award. The only difference between two dudes fucking each other for pay as opposed to two women going lesbo is that it's far more socially acceptable for girls to go muff diving under the guise of "experimenting." Apparently everybody wants to see girls enjoy fish tacos, but it's not so socially kosher for a dude to enjoy the sausage. Woof.

Posted by: benjamin at April 28, 2009 9:49 AM

gp you're my fav.

Posted by: Kayanne at April 28, 2009 9:52 AM

I think I've seen some porn that starts with the same premise. Oh, please don't throw me in that briar patch, Brer Rabbit!

I guess I'm with benjamin on this one. I'm not, like, irate about it, but it's pretty lame. You like what you like, sexually.

It would be way more interesting if the movie acknowledged that sometimes, just sometimes, straight dudes can get turned on by other dudes. That's why Y Tu Mama Tambien was so brilliant and this, this is not.

If by "meh" you mean "underfed equine", I agree.

As for this movie, well neither guy is completely not-doable, but they would have to have good personalities.

Oh, and Optimus, I'll see gp and raise by $40 and a case of premium beer.

Posted by: Drake at April 28, 2009 11:05 AM

George, Beyonce, et al.: methinks the lady(ies) doth protest too much.

Posted by: samantha t at April 28, 2009 12:07 PM

Benjamin - I agree with you 100%. Then again, I've often been told that I was a bitchy queen in a former life, so there you go.

Posted by: samantha t at April 28, 2009 12:11 PM

Fuck a dare backed up by male pride...or roofies...or cockrings...or Vietnamese girl boys(?)...I've had straight men on my dick like Britney Spears on a Monte Cristo sandwich for the low, low price of $20, because that my friends, is about how much a decent half case of beer costs.

The biggest difference between a lot of straight guys and their gay counterparts is just how drunk they are.

If given the opportunity, the loss of inhibition, and the absolute sworn secrecy, lots of guys will be happy to put their dicks, well, anywhere. Trust me.

Posted by: The Pink Hulk at April 28, 2009 12:17 PM

Thanks for the compliment, The Commenter Formerly Known as Bucdaddy.

By the way, I'm losing the Beyonce come May 1. I'm looking into a symbol to replace that handle. Can someone draw me a big butt and a weave?

By the way, Tracer Bullet is noticeably absent from this discussion.

Posted by: Beyonce Rowles (L.O.V.E.) at April 28, 2009 2:11 PM

This kind of looks like it is the foil to those countless Bromance movies, as well as the action packed summer blockbuster flicks this summer. Yet it maintains to come off less queer that the Jonas Brothers movie, a fascinating feat in its own.
As for the movie, I will in all likelihood drop everything and see it. Something about it seems, well, amazing. Screw Transformers, I'm going to the movie where the straight guys have sex for a dare!
Knowing me, I'd probably say that in public.

You're damn right about that, Hulk, but if you want my weenie I'd better be getting the WHOLE case.
