Brad The Boy Who Cleans The Pool

In Mike Judge's Extract - and there are spoilers ho! - Jason Bateman hires a man-whore to seduce his cold-fish wife, played by Kristen Wiig, in order to lessen his own guilt over the affair he wants to have. In discussing this situation in his review, Roger Ebert said:

"To believe that Suzie (Wiig) would be attracted to the gigolo (Dustin Milligan) requires not merely the suspension of disbelief, but its demolition."

I wondered what he meant so I googled the boy, and this is what greeted me:


Uhhh. Naturally, I couldn't comprehend what Ebert meant. Where's the problem there, I questioned. Then I saw the film and understood. Mike Judge keeps the dude clothed the entire movie! This is the closest we get to exploitation:


Boo, Mike Judge! Boo. Suzie didn't sleep with him because of his sparkling wit or charming personality. Hell it's not even his face that's the prize. She jumped on that ass! And to not exploit the ass is to do a disservice to all of filmmaking, forever.

Oh, and the movie was okay. Nothing too special. Kristen Wigg was too reined in (although I loved her final couple of scenes) and Beth Grant wasn't in every single frame, which is always a detriment to any picture.

Here's a couple more shots of Milligan since I don't foresee ever posting about him again, ever. Prove me wrong, Dusty. Prove me wrong.

He was boring as fuck in the 1.5 episodes of the new "90210" I tried to watch, if that's any indication.

Ugh, I fucking loved him, LMAO. I'm really, really shallow.
