Breaking news, Justin Long got a job that didn’t involve Drew Barrymore! Good for him. He got a part in a “staged reading” of Neil LaBute’s Filthy Talk for Troubled Times: Scenes of Intolerance in New York, and he spoke about his dirty, misogynistic character (is there any other kind when it’s Neil LaBute?) with New York Magazine afterwards. Apparently, Justin’s character doesn’t like to go down on women, and Justin wanted everyone to know he’s cool with cunnilingus. Thank God.
In last night’s staged reading of Neil LaBute’s Filthy Talk for Troubled Times: Scenes of Intolerance at the Lucille Lortel Theatre, Justin Long played a surprisingly filthy role as one of four misogynistic male restaurant patrons bemoaning feminism and cunnilingus and harassing the waitresses (played by Julia Stiles and Alice Eve). We wondered if it was difficult for the boyish actor to cultivate his inner sleazeball.
“Frankly, no. I think it’s just been festering and welling. All that great stuff, that darkness that we repress — it’s nice to be able to release it once in a while. It was very therapeutic.”
But Long pointed out that he didn’t identify with every aspect of his character. “There were parts about certain … well, acts that men supposedly don’t like performing on women that I have very strong feelings against. I would very much argue the opposite.”
So come on, everybody — give Drew Barrymore some credit.

Seriously, when it’s good, it’s good, and when a guy is good at that one thing, you can seriously forgive a lot. I knew a guy… well, nevermind. He was a tool, a douche, and a cheater. And he was short. But that man knew his way around a vadge, and he loved going downtown. I still think about him…sigh. If only he hadn’t been such a jackass. And now we totally know why Justin and Drew keep getting back together and why she’s kept him around. I get it now. Drew is a clever girl.

Well Alrighty Then!
OMG I totally have a new love for Justin Long. I see him with new eyes and possibilities. Yay for Drew, ^_^
No wonder she’s smiling! Here’s to more men making their way downtown *giving the side eye to my husband*
HAHAHA. This is hilarious. Good for him! But Drew…. ew.
I think he looks like a nerd, but that must be his secret weapon to get chicks.
He just got a LOT hotter!
I think he’s adorable! They make a very well matched couple. LOL
Right, Justin: because your acting is so good, we all assumed you were just like your character–not just reading a script.
So he’s a cunning linguist.
Totally with you Kaiser. I stayed in a relationship that was crap in many ways for 5 whole years because that man could go down like the Titanic.
I knew a man like that too…..*dreamy sigh*
Yup…that scores big points with me too. It’s sad that a LOT of men don’t have a freakin clue how to go downtown. Maybe they don’t really care enough to be skilled at it??
Meh, with Drew I’m not sure he isn’t giving fellatio.
@Dorothy: That was my first thought too 😀
just because he’s like doing it doesn’t mean he’s good at it..i’ll need to hear drew’s version of events
My boyfriend absolutely loves it downtown and will stay there for an hour if I let him.
He also is not happy unless there are a lot of big O’s for me.
This alone makes it so much easier to overlook the minor and sometimes major things he might do.
Cunning linguist or not, Justin Long still doesn’t do it for me. However, I can admit to keeping a guy in my rotation because of his commitment going and staying down. He is skinny and pale as f*ck (which I find physically unattractive), but I’m able to close my eyes and forget it all when he’s giving it his all.
I can’t imagine doing the same for Justin though…ugh, I just can’t! But Drew Barrymore has never dated the conventional so you go, girl!
Yeah I was with a guy for a short time who did it wonderfully— he LOVED to do it and that was his favorite. I totally loved how ravenously and fearlessly he did it.
My current boyfriend– basically never unless I ask and then…. he really doesnt do it well. And he STARES at me the whole time, too.
Nope, nope, and nope.
I SO MISS a man who loves and enjoys to eat me right….
sorry for the vulgar but hey thats the best way to describe when its done well!
Now if he had Gene Simmons’ tongue he’d have to outrun the hoards of women running after him screaming ‘Pick me!”
My husband is a MASTER of this particular art form. I told him he should teach seminars or something to get other guys up to speed.
Honestly, oral talent is a must for me. Glad to see that I have so many sistas in da house! 🙂
A lot of women seem to be afraid to let a man know if he isn’t doing it right, or enough. I never understood that, especially since men are so obsessed with bj’s. Trust me, there are ways of encouraging better performance without damaging a dude’s ego.
What a steamy thread, ladies! Woo-hoo!
… on men.
He could be the best at it in the world, yet I wouldn’t let him touch me because he is so f-ing ugly. But hey, good on him for developing a useful skill!
I like Justin Long, I think he’s cute. I like nerds.
LOL. This thread is awesome.
Also have to agree – Justin Long just got a little bit hotter in my eyes!! 🙂
As soon as I read this headline, I was like “so that explains why Drew hangs around”…as Kaiser said, you can forgive a lot when a guy is orally, um, enthusiastic.
Now there’s a reason to buy a Mac over a PC.
@LastExitBefore: I see what you did there! LOL!
i have to say, this topic has completely gone into the TMI category. lol
All the ladies who, after reading the article scrolled back up to the top pic and stared at his mouth trying to imagine what he does with it, raise your hand …*raises hand*
😀
never run a photo of rush limbaugh underneath an article about oral sex. that’s an association i don;t want to make. *shudder*
@ MaiGirl said: “. . . Trust me, there are ways of encouraging better performance without damaging a dude’s ego . . .”
Hey @ MaiGirl: PLEASE – DO TELL! 😉
I can’t stand that Neil labute..He is such a woman hater. all his plays/movies contain some disgusting misogynist jerk in it..Wasn’t his last work called, “Pig” about some guy who was harrassed by his friend cuz he love plus-sized women or something?! Neil says he doesn’t hate women he is married and has 5 kids..he is a real life woman hater, but hollywood loves him.
there are men who don’t like that? hmm Guess I’ve never met one! Met some that weren’t any good, but never met any that didn’t go back for more 😀
agrees w/ original kate * that was a shock to the system
@Alexa, or anyone else who might want to know: Before the deed is to be done, start some dirty talk with “you know what I REALLY like….” and then tell him in detail. Huge bonus points if you can be a little bashful and yet very sultry sounding at the same time, you know, like you know you are being “naughty”, but just can’t help yourself. I know it’s pandering a bit, but it has literally never failed me.
Have fun! 😉
ITA w/ Original Kate. Can’t wait until today is over so we don’t have to see that mug every single time we scroll down for comments. Yuck.
On the other hand, Justin Long….just went from cute as a button to hot on the button.
Sam Kinison had the perfect technique, in concert he would tell guys to write the alphabet with their tongue. Luckily my hubby heard this in his teen years and has been a master at it since.
By the time you get to L the second time through, it’s orgasm time. For those ladies who are less lucky, I recommend this technique.
Just remember it works both ways, lol!
Who would have thought he had that talent! go Justin!
@Environ…lol! The alphabet? Cool. Now let me go tell him.
After reading all the comments…I read this: “If your comment disappears, it has been eaten by the spam filter.” And guess what I thought about…
Nice to give
-but very dependant on personal style/looks and character of the lady friend.
but not always!
Hmmm I think he’s an interesting looking guy…and the fact he likes to pay attention to the particular act has only raised his attractiveness in my view…
I totally agree about forgiving a man’s faults if he’s good at going downtown…a BF of mine (about five years in the past) had me seriously ‘d**k and tongue struck’ for months. Hopeless at everything else AND a starving artist (I kid you not) but OMG that man was good in bed. I adore my husband of two years but (and I’d never tell him this) I STILL think very fondly of my former lover…
Imagine Drew asking it with her lisp..,”oh juzzten, give me zom zweet lovin downztairz will ya?”
Meh, that wouldn’t keep me in a relationship, not a big fan of that particular act being performed on me, I find it downright unpleasant. The rest of my body loves some tongue, though.
good for Drew!
