Campaign for suicidal dark comedy is overkill.

Suicide prevention groups are now against the campaign for a new film called Wristcutters: A Love Story. Ads are one thing, but it’s a film. It’s the one medium where anything goes, no? Stopping ads won’t stop the film and its suicide theme, something which I thought they opposed in the first place. All they’re doing is giving it more PR. Besides, after watching the trailer? They should run the controversial spots to get people interested. Comedy? This thing looks dreadful. Looks like Y tu razorblade también for the French cafe crowd, and I HATE French cinema. (Exception made for Jean Reno, their Sam Jackson–a bad motherfucker). More free advice for the protestors: let the hoopla die. The film will soon follow.
