Tucker Max: Live Outside The US? Please Pirate My Movie

Written by enigmax on September 24, 2009 

Controversial blogger Tucker Max has been telling the Internet about his drunken sexual encounters for many years. His antics will hit the big screen tomorrow in the movie release of his book I Hope They Serve Beer in Hell. If you’ve never heard of Tucker, now’s your chance. He says he doesn’t care if non-US citizens pirate the movie.

maxBorn in 1975 and celebrating his birthday in three days time, Tucker Max is a controversial American writer and blogger.

In 2002 he launched TuckerMax.com, a site where millions read about his real-life drunken and sexual antics, including one article about his earlier relationship with Katy Johnson, Miss Vermont 1999, which led to a lawsuit which fortunately for him, was later withdrawn.

Of course, Tucker Max had plenty more outrageous alcohol-fueled exploits to blog about, in fact so much so that in 2006 he released his book I Hope They Serve Beer in Hell which became a NY Times Bestseller in the same year.

Tomorrow, Max will bring his unique blend of entertainment to the big screen with the movie release of I Hope They Serve Beer in Hell. It will be a ‘limited’ release, which means that initially the movie will be available on a small number of screens then increasing as (hopefully) the movie grows in popularity.

However, at the moment the movie will only be available in the US, and initially only in Chicago. A Canadian release will take place in two weeks, which Max described as “stupid” while stressing that he has zero control over foreign distribution, “In ANY country.”

So what if you’d like to see the movie and it’s not available in your country?

Pirate it on the Internet.

“If you live outside the US and are desperate to see the movie and can’t find the release date in your country, then just pirate the movie and watch it online. I am serious. I have no issue with that,” says Max on the movie’s website. He also says the way to market a great movie is through word of mouth.

“Put it in front of people, let them see it, and have them tell their friends how much they liked it. That’s why we did the premiere tour. There is no better way to market quality, and by starting with a smaller release, it allows word of mouth to build and develop. This strategy has worked great with movies like ‘Slumdog Millionaire’ and ‘Juno’,” says Max.

Of course, there’s no reason why the same can’t be true with BitTorrent. But there are plenty of other movies around, why watch this one?

“Go see this movie,” says Max. “At the very least, you will laugh a lot and you will definitely see the most epic shit scene in movie history.”

I’m there.

Cool, good for him! Lol @8 though!

10 Sep 24, 2009 at 23:49 by No-name

This look like a really crappy movie, no one will pirate that shit lol good try though.

11 Sep 24, 2009 at 23:56 by MrC

Yes, the movie looks like shit but his stories on the other hand are hysterical. I among many other friends been reading his shit since it hit the net and you won’t read anything like that, again.

Nice =] Looks like I’ll get torrenting =]

IGN gives the movie 4 out of 5 stars, calling it the Godfather of twenty-something comedies:

“With that in mind, I Hope They Serve Beer in Hell is the Godfather of raucous, twenty-something comedies. It’s absolutely among the smartest, most well-written, disgusting, hilarious, endearing, offensive and downright best comedies within its genre to date. It takes all the shocking audacity and infinite charm of sophomoric caricatures like Van Wilder or Harold and Kumar and turns them into actual characters — real human beings whose reprehensible behavior masks actual vulnerability and fear. It works, almost despite itself, on a number of comedic levels, proving that even the basest, most low-brown humor can be elevated by intelligent writing and real, dramatic performances.”

I hope they serve beer wherever it is I’m going.

Probably hell, and if the movie is any I’d probably seed it with or without his blessing some time before that freezes over.

I hope they’ve got fridges in hell too, I’d hate for my beer to be pisswarm.

Okay…so if you live in this country, don’t pirate it, but if you don’t do, that seems very oxymoronic. How many people are actually going to do that? I think that people in the U.S. will pirate anyway.

16 Sep 25, 2009 at 00:17 by Anonymous

Haha, looks odd.

I’ll definitely be checking it out though to see what it’s like for myself.

Oh Poo!

18 Sep 25, 2009 at 00:31 by Dan

I bet i wont download it because ide rather get something worth watching but good for him anyways!

“This look like a really crappy movie, no one will pirate that shit lol good try though.”

Don’t be so sure. I have no intention of ever downloading or watching Bruno, but from what i’ve heard that movie was really crappy. And guess what, it ended up on Torrent Freak’s top 10 most downloaded movies. Personally I feel crappy movies get “pirated” more than good movies ’cause people are less likely to pay to see them and they download them just to see what all the fuss is about. I could be wrong. Bottom line: crappy movies do get “pirated” all the time.

I’m guessing it’s the “Austin road trip”-story with the mexican cleaning lady at the hotel.

Yeah, the epic shit scene is from the “Austin Road Trip” story. In fact, the whole movie is based on the “Austin Road Trip” story. I saw the movie in Philadelphia during the premiere tour and it was funny. There were some moments that felt forced to me, but that might have been due to my prior knowledge of the material.

Also, the movie isn’t opening only in Chicago this weekend. I think there are 120 screens nationwide showing it this weekend. There’s a complete list on the movies blog.

23 Sep 25, 2009 at 01:34 by wow

I never followed Tucker’s Blog, but I know V at Violent Acres hated him soooooo much. She bitched him out on several occasions. I bet she put a post up about his movie, or will soon

24 Sep 25, 2009 at 01:36 by wow

or not… looks like she’s been inactive for a few months….

@3 failed

26 Sep 25, 2009 at 02:35 by Noname

This does look like a The Hangover type of movie but with it being based on a true story I think it might be easier to find funny.

I will have a look when I can for sure ^^

Bruno was hilarious.

28 Sep 25, 2009 at 02:56 by Cool

I guess the guy felt sorry for the rest of the world. I meant just look at the UK. what a joke country. they have to pay TV taxes just to support their shitty economy. Lmao and they barley have jobs over there. Shouldn’t even be called the UK, it should be called the UP for the United Packi’s since they let any ol person in. lol pathetic

We don’t care whether he gives us the green light to pirate his movie or not. If we want to, we will do it. period.

I wonder what is the role for that porn star???

“you will definitely see the most epic shit scene in movie history.”

Now you’ve peaked my interest…

Could there be a more epic shit scene than the one in Trainspotting?

34 Sep 25, 2009 at 04:58 by moar

ah yes, trainspotting toilet diving is king by my rights.

as for the topic at hand, listened to the audiobook(reading isn’t fundamental), the shit is hilarious… don’t know how well it translates to the big screen, but imma give it go…

and the UK, look at it just sitting there in the water, tiny little island that it is, pathetic… lulz

35 Sep 25, 2009 at 06:10 by Ragdrazi

I wish that one download really did equal one lost sale so I could put this kid out of business.

Did Max pay TF to get an article here?

37 Sep 25, 2009 at 06:53 by Anonymous

I don’t understand why everyone is saying such bad things about his movie… It looks pretty good and the fact that he agrees with and understands the use of bittorrent as a tool to promote his movie is good enough on it’s own for me.

38 Sep 25, 2009 at 07:07 by yes.

@8 It’s for a reason.. :/

@31

He has said that he is fine with anyone watching the pirated version..Domestic or abroad. That reply was just in response to when the foreign release is. All he cares about is people seeing it. Think Coelho.

42 Sep 25, 2009 at 07:23 by Anonymous

@33 Saw the NYC premier. It’s way more epic than Trainspotting. Grosser, funnier, and all around a gut wrenching laugh. Words can’t do it justice, see it for yourself.

43 Sep 25, 2009 at 07:34 by Sean

I truly recommend seeing this film. It’s crass and rude, and Jesse Bradford is going to be a household name when it’s all said and done. His character delivers one great one-liner after another.

44 Sep 25, 2009 at 08:24 by anonymous

I live in the US and will be downloading it, is that still cool with you Max?

Dam_ brits can’t even drive. Just look at what happened to princess Diana

50 Sep 25, 2009 at 09:06 by UK is JOKE

Nope they have to pay TV taxes just to own a TV. England is where the majority of these armchair fighters come from. I mean that speck of shiiitt country can actually support life? Wow.

51 Sep 25, 2009 at 09:11 by uk

The UK lets so many people in that it ruins their economy. It’s so bad there that they have a party that has to go against it because their leaders are too stupid to see what their doing. bnp.com

Nothing good comes from that shitt hole of the world. Just abunch or random parasites typing on keyboards. Their whole government finnaly sped up on what was going on in the world so that is why those dam_ cavemen are just beginning to start parties.

This is making me interested in the movie. Will be checking it out soon. I like it when people just want everybody to see their movie, if they make money with it or not.

please do not promote this unfunny misogynistic douchebag on your otherwise decent site

he’s a professional troll, and you lose a lot of your dignity just by mentioning him

Does anything really happen in this movie? I mean… if you can’t put even one good scene in your trailer, don’t bother to make a whole film…

Uhm, I don’ think Tucker really understands what he’s encouraging here. Filesharing isn’t exactly driven by sound reason or morality. People download because it’s easier and they think that no one will notice, not because there are no legal alternatives.

64 Sep 26, 2009 at 05:20 by Wednesday Addams

After the green band trailer it seems stupid. After the red band one it’s just disgusting. Another hollywood sex-alcohol-road-trip buIIshit.
And it-will-only-be-shown-in-america sounds just like an advertisment to me. I can’t believe they really think that no-one outside the USA would like to see this crap.

65 Sep 26, 2009 at 12:31 by Anonymous

why wouldn’t people download/pirate this even if he didn’t tell us to anyway? i mean if people wants to watch it in the first place..

66 Sep 26, 2009 at 14:14 by A nun

Tucker Max is a guy who already by being an asshole gets all the chicks.

Due to all the wannabes, he is now also an asshole who gets all the chicks and got paid massive money for his book.

Due to EVEN MORE wannabes, he is now going to be an asshole who gets all the chicks, became famous through his movie and got paid massive money for his book.

Do you REALLY want to add to his support?

Just saying. He should donate his cash to the pirate cause, lord knows fate is already tickling his balls enough as it is.

67 Sep 26, 2009 at 17:09 by Adam

The problem with Tucker Max’s movie is that nobody is going to pay to see it. Every single review calls it awful. Even worse than his writing, which is already pretty awful. I’ll admit he has some funny stories, but he has to know that we know it’s all made up.

Also, it’s usually a good idea to hire actors for your movie.

68 Sep 27, 2009 at 03:44 by Anonymous

i think the hole story is a big fake!

i found 3 torrents “out there”, and all three are crab! call me if they will be an _real_ release…

69 Sep 27, 2009 at 04:12 by Tim

This movie looks absolutely awful. Is it even pirate worthy?

70 Sep 27, 2009 at 14:57 by bob

looks fucking awful.

71 Sep 29, 2009 at 01:53 by 56

1st of all the movie looks like a piece of sh!t, and 99% percent of his stories, are just that STORIES ! He is a BSer. See for yourselves. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mAbreeMofRg

72 Sep 29, 2009 at 16:33 by Micho

Wow.. judging from the trailer, this movie SUCKS. I read the book and it was awesome; couldn’t stop laughing. The movie? Seems a complete disappointment.
