Film; OUT TAKES
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Tune in, turn on and gross out over the coming months with the vigorously vulgar Baseketball. By the creators of South Park, Baseketball has two athletes revitalising the commercialised wasteland of American sports with a version of basketball that allows competitors to distract opponents by yelling abuse or indulging in distracting behaviour. It's a verbal and physical assault on the political correctness of most sports dramas, and features Ernest Borgnine (above) as a sports entrepreneur who meets an untimely death at the hands of a hotdog.
Opening in November, the deliriously tasteless There's Something About Mary stars Ben Stiller as a terminal geek who falls for uber-babe Cameron Diaz. Sadly, fate intervenes in the form of an accident, leaving Stiller's manhood mangled in his zipper. Given that this is directed by Dumb and Dumber's Farrelly brothers, we get the full works, prosthetic penis and all.
The career of Francis Ford Coppola (above) continues its journey downhill with the news that the director is being paid not to make a film. With Warner Brothers withdrawing their support, his cherished dream of making a live-action version of Pinocchio will now never come to fruition. $80 million? A snip.
