Hey, man... *sucks on a joint* you're... like... making everything so harsh...

To what extent do modern film-makers live in an alternate universe all their own?

Here's an advertising blurb for a film called, "The Whackness".
It’s the summer of 1994, and the streets of New York are pulsing with hip-hop and wafting with the sweet aroma of marijuana -- but change is in the air. The newly-inaugurated mayor, Rudy Giuliani, is beginning to implement his anti-fun initiatives against “crimes” like noisy portable radios, graffiti and public drunkenness. Set against this backdrop, Luke Shapiro (Josh Peck) spends his last summer before college selling dope throughout New York City, trading it with his shrink (Ben Kingsley) for therapy, while crushing on his step daughter (Olivia Thirlby). Famke Janssen, Mary Kate Olsen,and Method Man round out the cast in this edgy, bittersweet, and funny coming of age story.

It's the 18th century, and those limey Brits are making anti-fun initiatives against "crimes" like rape, pillage, and murder. Can Jack Sparrow and his crew of ragtag misfits find a way to save piracy? Whoever wins, it's sure to be fun for the whole family!

You know, I do remember thinking something along those lines during the last movie.
