This is from Roger Ebert's Answer Man column. Not sure what it says about the next Danny McBride film but it makes me even more interested.
Q. I'll try to be brief. Are you ever offended simply by the content of a film? By violence, sexuality, language etc. Or is there another criteria that has caused you to be offended by a film? For example, I did not find the violence in "The Passion of The Christ" to be offensive, but I was appalled by the film "The Boondock Saints," a much less violent film. Have you ever been faced with this question in your own career? (Lynwood Bradley, Cleveland GA)

A. I would prefer to say I am offended by bad movies but not by good ones, regardless of the content. But I know what you mean. I had a real wrestling match with myself while writing a review of "The Foot Fist Way," which will appear June 6.
