"It's the most offensive movie ever made." The star of 'Scary Movie' recounts a scene so tough that they had to cut it from the edit

In Pink Flamingos, Divine picked up a dog feces from the ground and ate it. In Salò or the 120 Days of Sodom, the audience left the theater vomiting. In Cannibal Holocaust, some believed they were watching a snuff film. I could go on for hours, listing some of the most genuinely controversial films in history, and, of course, Scary Movie would not appear. However, for its protagonist, what they have done is break with everything definitively. It is what it is, I suppose.

Offense after offense

Be careful, because I didn’t make this up: it is, genuinely, something she herself said after revealing a scene that was cut from the movie in which she parodied Melania Trump and her Be Best campaign: “There’s a moment when I’m really drunk… I’m in my van, I look in the rearview mirror and say ‘Be the best, Cindy Campbell. Be the best. It didn’t make it into the movie, but I liked my little nod there.”

In case you don’t know what it refers to, Be Best was a campaign by the First Lady that used the slogan from 2018 to 2021, focused on cyberbullying (to tackle it, not to promote it, you never know). The truth is that the joke isn’t the funniest, but she is sure it would have broken molds and angered the Republicans: “What are you going to do? Are you going to get mad at Cindy? I’m in a movie that is genuinely the most offensive ever made, and I’m the star. And I participate in offensive ideas. I think I can do whatever I want, it freed me.”

Eh, it has been the number 1 movie in its opening weekend and the best start of its saga, how am I going to teach him what is or isn’t? If the level has dropped so much that this is the offense, well, what can we do.
