disappointing
http://littlestpea.com/?p=576m not going to say you know, don’t go to this movie, like I said, it wasn’t bad - just a little advance warning so you’re not shocked or saddened or surprised during the movie, like we were. **EDIT** So GLAAD is up on the “homo”

http://www.popnography.com/2008/07/tonight-he-come.htmlThe bad news: It seems pretty obvious that Will Smith is the new Tom Cruise. The good news: Oh, the jokes just write themselves! > Hey, did you know the original title of Hancock was Tonight, He Comes? > Apparently there's a terribly unfunny gay joke in the movie. Wow! An unfunny fag joke in a movie starring Will Smith? Who would have ever seen that coming? > Um.

GLAAD slams use of 'homo' in 'Hancock'
http://loadedgunboston.blogspot.com/2008/07/glaad-slams-use-...Jason Bateman’s idealistic public-relations character (responsible for rehabilitating the anti-hero's tarnished image) shows Hancock a bunch of comics featuring superheroes, Hancock’s response to each one is “homo.” Not cool. The GLAAD blogger continues, “No one would have missed the line if it wasn’t there, but an unfortunate choice was made to go for the cheap gay joke. In that moment, young gay people in the movie’s audience are put in the position of being ridiculed by a character they are

That very much depends on whether or not the massive mounds of cash they'll be sitting on this weekend have phone or Internet service. Hancock's 'Homo' Blunder [GLAAD CineQueer] **Now, it should be noted that the premise of the film is that Hancock is a total jerk who engages in all sorts of anti-social behavior.
