I went to see "The Internship" tonight. I had high hopes because Vince Vaughn & Owen Wilson have great rapport and are usually fucking hilarious.

What saves the movie are these two women: Would you bang?

Tiya Sircar


Rose Byrne


Brief Synopsis Of The Movie

Anyway, I was pissed off through most of the movie and it wasn't related to the fact it was way too long and had many droughts of few laughs.

Let's step through the premise. Both Vaughn & Wilson lose their jobs as salesman and decide to intern with Google in the hopes of scoring a job. The funniest part was probably when Will Ferrell had a cameo as the douchebag owner of a mattress store.

The movie was too long and relied way to heavily on Vaughn & Wilson riffing back and forth. Some of the riffs were utter garbage and annoying. Vaughn's character is somewhat of loser who is excellent at bullshitting but knows next to nothing and has a poor work ethic. Wilson's character is better but seems to be a grown man with no identity. They are seen as losers and outsiders by the college-age crowd. They team up with some real losers (including that dark-skinned cutie) and fail most of the time, but do eventually get their act together.

As expected, Vaughn's character fucks up bad and screws the team over really bad. He leaves in a huff but returns when the last goal for the competition is sales - Vaughn puts on a great show and they win the competition because of his ability to persuade people.

Let's go through both red-pill analysis and politically conservative analysis.

Red-pill Analysis

As for the red-pill analysis, it has a stereotypical approach to male/female sexuality. The omega loser - the only actual Google worker in the group - gets a smoking hot stripper as a girlfriend. He had a real simpy approach in strip club and is entirely unrealistic of pick-up in a strip club. To be honest, I don't do strip-club game, but I hear it is really tough. I won't belabor this point as I don't know much about it. Just understand that the ending showed the two holding hands and flirting. Not.gonna.happen.in.real.life.

As for Owen Wilson, he gets with Rose Byrne. He has some sub-par approaches to Byrne, but she accepts his date request. On the date, he didn't do too bad. Since she never dates and lives for her job, he promises her to cram 10 years of bad dates into one date. He hits on the waitress, gets her number - not bad. He tells her to stop eating ice cream because a "a moment on the lips, a lifetime on the hips." I busted a gut on that one. He then cheers her with his wine glass, only to grab hers away and down it. Not bad at all. He gets the same night bang.

Let's discuss Rose Byrne from a red-pill approach. She has a monologue in which her character has her eyes rimmed with tears. She haughtily tells Wilson that, in sum, she doesn't want a lecture from a man about how she is getting older, will regret not having a man & children, etc. The good part is you can tell she is trying to convince herself her job can fill the void of love & companionship but it isn't working. Good on them to create a female character that does like her job but yearns for a real man, marriage and children.

Vaughn's character is his patented, since Swingers, fast-talking dude that is a bullshiter of the highest order. He has no real skills and strikes me as a sort of narcissist - he can talk a great game but has nothing else going on for him. For the purposes of Google, they hired him because he can sell Google services extremely well. The other dorks they hire can't hold a candle to his charisma - they need a balance to the dorks Google employs.

Conservative Analysis

While this won't purely be a conservative analysis, it seemed fitting to deem it as such for some reason. The movie highlights the how pathetic my generation is and the strong deficiencies of the preceding generation.

When they first got to the Google building, I was disgusted with the building. It looks like one massive playground for adults. They have all sorts of gadgets to toy with, insane levels of free products and play stupid games. All the stuff is free - the food, all that. It reeks strongly of a parental relationships. It highlights that my generation just expects things without any regard to supply or cost. They play ridiculous games, such as a real-life Quidditch match. I don't know much about Harry Potter except that it strikes me as childish - a series of books a 12 year-old would enjoy, but not a 25 year-old dude.

The interns are all self-absorbed and many are fairly mean. Google stresses cooperation and group work but many of the interns strike as only superficially cooperative - they all seem to think they know better. They are clicking through their phones without any regard to the people around them. Their social skills blow and exhibit an inability to dress appropriately or behave in a civilized manner towards each other.

The Last Pyschiatrist identifies these issues developed from the previous generation. My parent's generation was and is fairly self-absorbed and has a difficult time identifying real issues and being frank about their life.

You see this inability to identify salient issues in both Vaughn & Wilson. Vaughn, in particular, is delusional and exhibits many arrogant traits and is disproven clearly a few times and refuses to admit his mistakes. We see this with politicians in America.



I recently ethered a local Democratic politician on Facebook as it relates to student loans. My contention was that if you want to get costs of student loans under control, you have to stop guaranteeing Federal loans. Before it got deleted, it spawned many comments - all negative. I noticed the complete and utter inability to decide what the actual issue is. Many people (my parent's age) commented about my elitist and classist attitude and that a college education should be for all. I responded to that, saying that is different issue than affordability and if you main concern is access, then deal with the fact costs will continue spiral out of control and destroy student's financial futures.

Not one person responded logically to my contention. More fucking blathering about racism, classism and sexism. One genius called me out for misogyny because women need to go to college to get education. I responded that is bullshit because the library is free and the internet has vast free resources. If you need somebody to tell what to read and tell you learn you got bigger issues than education. I got dumped on badly, had many personal insults hurled my way and was called a typical white, entitled asshole who doesn't have any reference point in reality because of my privilege.



My comments got deleted and the commenters continued to blame corporations and Republicans. It is therapy for them, unable to understand they have played vital role in destroying my generation they need a scapegoat for their bullshit. Also, consider Obamacare. My health law professor told us our generation needs to pay higher premiums to support his aging generation - in order to ensure equality in the health care arena.

I called him out on the carpet, stating that student loans are far, far higher for us than when you attended law school, our job prospects are dim and, due to inflation, our money means less. I expected to get some support from my classmates, but not a soul did. Some just looked away uncomfortably, some just had a real confused look on their face. One mindless liberal snapped back that we have a duty to support the great generation that came before us and I need to have more compassion.

While I was denied a chance to respond, I would have said that how much money our country doesn't have is needed to prove compassion?The great generation before us? The generation that embraced feminism, made us latch-key kids, gave us shitty schools and indebted us via student loans? .

Once again, it is therapy. In order to sleep better at night, my generation & our parent's generation don't live in reality - ignoring the reality of our country's collapse. It is beyond sad. I saw this reflected in the movie, as Vaughn & Wilson's character are bad, but their generation spawned a worse generation in mine.

Let's focus on the lack of social skills. One striking feature was how poor of social skills the youth in the movie had. They had low self-esteem and spent more time mindlessly clicking through their damn iPhones. A girl I gamed the other week pissed me off because she was on Facebook literally every ten minutes - I am right here! I didn't say anything about it, but it still bothered me on a fundamental level.

My parent's generation did not do a good job of raising my generation. Let's consider the female-centric school system. Even with the resources, time and access afforded to women it hasn't resulted in women fundamentally altering themselves. I recently saw some Tweets about women are still second-class citizens in school & the workplace - especially in tech. Part of me wants to say fuck it, give the broads all that they want and sit back and watch them fail. It is isn't a good idea because it will only increase misandry - the female way to compensate for their inability to understand their hypergamy has created a class of people - men - who often are their superiors in many arenas.

Understand I recognize narcissism as one of the primary causes of the issues I discussed above. When a narcissist hears rhetoric about equality, they don't think of who they are in reality, they think of their delusions of grandeur. Recall this article by yours truly, where I set out the alpha>female>beta>omega narcissistic hierarchy. You see this in feminist rhetoric - do they want commensurate suicide rates for men? No. Do they want beta male sexual frustration? No. They want the privileges afforded to alphas. This is what fuels the unhealthy approach to equality liberals have.



Let's leave aside race, as I agree with equality for all races. That is where I part with liberals. Let's talk homosexuality. I don't have beef with gay people - however, I have issues with claims of equality of homosexual relationships & parenting. There was a line in the movie, where a female gushed how superior gay parents are. Bullshit. Equality between fundamental in-equals will always fail. Men & women? You will never get that one right, you may be able to achieve a level of equity (based on red-pill thought) - but no pure equality unless you are interested in Kurzweillian tranhumanist theory. Gay people? Once again, sex differences necessitate that the three groups - straights, gay men & gay women will never be equals.

In the end, I really felt that this analysis was more in my head than anything else. I hated the lack of substance in the Vaughn & Wilson characters. I had a level of strong vitriol towards the depiction of my generation because it reminded me of how we are not going to be to lead or grown this country. I really felt strongly about this movie and will probably rewatch it once it comes on DVD then pen a piece a more coherent piece for RoK.

[Days of Broken Arrows]

Nice review. Let me add in my perspective, just from the promo materials I've seen.

The two female leads in this film are definitely nice-looking, but in that sort of freeze-dried girl-from-accounting way. This is the same appeal women like Renee Zellweger, Jennifer Garner, and Hillary Swank had. What the hell happened that America's female movie stars stopped having va-va-voom sex appeal? All the women who are capable of firing teenage fantasies are now in porn. They used to be on the big screen.

This, in my opinion, renders this movie as Blue Pill. Instead of giving guys something to like, they seek to appease the female audience by putting women who are non-threatening to women on the screen. Since women see more movies than men, this makes sense, but it creates a self-fulfilling prophesy/cycle/loop which leaves men out. When your leading lady looks like the boring co-worker you try to avoid at TGIFriday happy hour, there just might be a problem with your society's "gender norms" (gag).

I recently found a Web site that houses a lot of old movies and started watching stuff from the '70s and '80s. I was amazed at how un-apologetically sexy the women were. They were not only feminine-looking but acted in that sweet-but-sexy way that makes you forget about the movie for a second or three.

Where is today's Daryl Hannah, Kim Basinger, or Rebecca DeMornay? Women like Megan Fox or Jennifer Lopez posses a steeliness or diva-like quality the older actresses didn't have. Scarlett Johansson and Jessica Alba come close, but would they have been chosen for roles like these? We've come a long way, baby -- in the wrong direction.

The top girl combines beauty with cuteness, huge turn on.

As always, great analysis.

Narcissists love redistribution of wealth because it rewards them for their "intrinsic merit" rather than what they produce in the marketplace.

@Days Of Broken Arrows:

You are right about females leads getting progressively less attractive. Now that women aren't guaranteed a hubby, the hamster gets more insecure and needs reassurance via the media.

Personally, nerdy & cute brown-skinned women really rev my engines, so I am lttle biased about the first chick.

As for the 2nd woman, she fits perfectly into the role she needs to play. She needs to believably attractrive, but not too hot. The emphasis on career & not dating helps her cause because she is explicitly removing herself from the sexual marketplace.

Economic independence has to follow any sexual revolution, so women other women have serious endeavours outside fucking/chasing alphas. Reconsider my flapper post - those women sought to just party and fuck. Women know how attractive to men, so they emphasize careers as a way curtailing women's irrevelance.

[Nonpareil]

Probably waiting until it's on DVD to see it; sure, it's being branded as 'the new Wedding Crashers'...Wedding Crashers had an R rating. Would an R rating have made this movie salvageable?

I would happily fuck the shit out of Rose Byrne.

[TheSlayer]

I was looking at the reviews and one of them said that the movie is a long google commercial without any laughs. I will probably download it once the DVD/Bly-Ray torrents are available online.
