Appalled is usually a punk word. Punks get appalled. Old British ladies choke on their crumpets when they’re appalled. Your grandmother was appalled when she accidentally turned on BET’s Uncut. A grown man like myself should never be appalled.
I read Kick-Ass and I was appalled. The eight-issue comic book series written by comic genius Mark Millar (Wanted, Ultimate Fantastic Four) just wrapped up last week and if I had a coinpurse, I’d have clutched it while reading. The last issue alone features a 10-year-old girl doing coke and shooting mafia bosses in the scrotes. Awesome!
If the movie lives up to half the craziness of the comic, you’ll be in for a cringe-inducing but thoroughly enjoyable movie. Judging by Hit Girl’s use of the word “cock,” the movie looks like it plans to be true to the book.
While you guys watch the trailer, I’ll be fandangoing my way to an early ticket.
