Bird, plane, "homo": Like we need another reason not to see "Hancock"

Forget the awful posters, feverdream commercials, hasty re-shoots and sinking feeling that the entire cast is slumming it for a paycheck. (Update: Allow me to add the array of stellar notices that have lifted the film to a soaring 34% approval rating on RottenTomatoes.) If you need yet another reason to skip the ill-conceived Will Smith superhero vehicle Hancock this weekend, GLAAD may have it for you:

At approximately 24 minutes into the film, while Jason Bateman’s PR whiz works to rehabilitate the superhero’s tarnished image, he shows Hancock three comic book images in an effort to inspire him. But Hancock rejects the traditional image of costumed superheroes as he responds to each one: “Homo. Homo in red. Norwegian homo.”

Shades of 300, only without all the codpieces to help the insults go down. I'm sure (or would at least hope) Bateman and Smith don't personally have any ill will toward gays, but a summer movie that is meant to be enjoyed by everyone just flat-out should not be so backhanded to anyone in its audience. 

Ah well, saves me my curious $11.
