Reader Feedback on "Raw Nerve"
You see? YOU SEE? It's worse than I thought: the cool kids are SO cool, they inserted a joke in the commentary that's so dry and oblique, it doesn't even count as funny -- and you can't even get it, *unless you're a cool kid.* When will the reign of the cool-kids end? When will the sport of making people feel like dicks cease to be considered fun? Why am I reading online comments on my article, anyway?

The only reason I can conceive of that this got published is that literally no one who saw this piece prior to its publication (aside from the author) had actually bothered to see the commentary on "Dodgeball."
Aside from the issue that the alternate ending is a piece of satire, I seriously wondered why "Nerve" was bothering to cover a mediocre comedy months after its initial release anyway. There are things to be said about "Dodgeball," (that it relied on a lot of cheapshot, heterosexist jokes, for example) but at this point, the topic feels stale.
"Raw Nerve" appears so sporadically that I was disappointed to see this piece selected as material for the feature. There are tons of issues that would be great for an op-ed piece, this just didn't seem to be one of them.
This seemed much more like Screening Room material.

The "alternate ending" on Dodgeball was nothing more than a joke. Do you really think that the director of a movie like Dodgeball would walk off the set in order to protect the integrity of his film?

um.
The alternate ending of Dodgeball was a joke. It's satire.
But nice effort.
