    All this is giving me a Ravenite appetite.

  • horsewithwings

    Here I was thinking the ads for this movie couldn't be improved.



    Italians AGAINST misogyny?!



    Now I've seen everything.



    GETA BACK INTO DA KITCHEN AND MAKE ME SOME SPICY MEATBALLS!!!!

  • carmichael

    f.y.i.

    i believe there is also a sign under "blind girls never see you coming" that reads "dead men don't rape."

    (yes, i know these posters are all over the city, but there are only so many in little italy, and most of them looked altered.)

    maybe it was taken down before the picture was taken or maybe gothamist chose to blow up the other sign over it.

    anyway, i saw the signs and just didn't want details to be left out.

    Who's Tucker Max?



    I've seriously never heard of him and don't care to google either.

  • Good on you, Little Italy.

  • robingee

    Hey man, women and feminists have pussified men in this world, and Tucker Max is going to put chicks in their place!



    fart.

  • coxx

    it doesnt mean fuck you, it means up your ass

  • slappy

    Litterally: Va = Go, Fan = do, cul = ass.

    The "fan" is a kind of contraction for "fa un" (do a or an)

  • al oof

    so does it mean up your ass, or up an ass? because those are pretty different.

  • Billiamsburg

    if dane cook is any indication, the majority of american males are frat boys and love to drop money on this shit. just wish i would have realized it sooner, and had no respect for myself, so i could capitalize as well.

  • Potty Boy

    A very appropriate response and an appropriate use of the expletive.

  • Bort

    In the trailer the Tucker character says to a friend "BRO, just ask yourself, what would Tucker do?"



    So he's made a movie, written himself as the lead character, then refers to himself by his real name in the 3rd person. So many layers of meta-douchery I can't even keep track.



    Can't wait til next year when this dude is completely forgotten about.

  • Qraymond

    meta-douchery = word of the year

  • fishfryin

    tucker max....is that the unfunny asshole who had a popular website like 6 years ago? and now that he's completely faded from all relevance he has a movie?

  • longacre

    Yep. From the trailer I saw, there are no stars in it, and production quality looks like it was made by NY Film Academy dropouts, but somehow they seem to have pretty substantial marketing budget. The best part might the guy who plays Tucker looks pretty gay.

  • valeriob

    Whoa awesome. WTG Little Italy!

  • KiljoyWasHere

    What is a tuckermax?

  • longacre

    If any neighborhood is going to tolerate misogyny, it's Little Italy.

  • ak

    Crown Heights, much?

  • Potty Boy

    hmmm...not so sure about that.

  • felixthecat2

    Tucker Max is an asshole. I can't believe his book was a best seller. It was so lame and obviously full of BS

  • blondeinthecity

    wowwww, "va fan culo" is the most vulgar thing you can say in italian. i guess thats probably the point tho.

  • Thespis

    At the risk both of showing my ignorance...what does it mean?

  • valeriob

    It means fuck you. Literally, though, it means take it in the ass.

    Both interpretations apply every time :)

  • NannyState

    Wow, that's what it means? And I even left that waiter a generous tip.
