I don't really care. Its a movie. It meant good by preaching equality but it is still a comedy so there are going to be those gay stereotypes thrown around. Funny funny funny movie if you take it for what it is, a movie.

Agreed.

I dunno why people wanna take movies and then bitch about em when it's usually purely for entertainment value.

I heard people got their knickers in a twist over the movie, Dogma. Hence the disclaimer at the beginning of the movie.

But then again, I didn't really like Dogma. I mean it had it's moments but...

I'll stick with Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back in all of it's awesomeness.

I'm in a horrible mood today because I found out that I didn't get a job that I really wanted, which sucks for a number of reasons that I'm still too pissed to discuss at this time. Prior to finding out this horrible news I had made plans to see Superbad tonight, and even though I felt that I wasn't in the mood for a comedy, let alone leaving the house in general, I'm very glad I did.

Superbad was one of the funniest movies I've ever seen in the theater. I laughed my F'ing ass off from start to finish! The scene where Even
(I think) was singing with the group of coke fiends was insta-classic. Likewise, MacLuvin will be the most overused, yet still funny, nickname since Steve-O, which is what I call my own father.

The movie is not for everyone, 2 out of the 4 other people I went with didn't like the movie. They thought it was too long and pointless, because they don't know funny (they're anti-TBS). Also, I wouldn't take grandma to see it, unless she'd be willing to buy you liquor. However, if you're a fun-loving d-bag like myself I suggest you grab some friends and go see this thing ASAP!

Regardless of the fact that I'm still so pissed about the job thing that I want to take a baseball bat to a room full of Ming vases just to let out 1/10th of my anger over this job thing, I still laughed my ass off and managed to have a good time for a few hours.

War sucked pretty hard except for a couple fight scenes but the main fight scene went to see between Statham and Li lasted like 30 seconds and had one of the biggest piece of crap endings.

skinsfanthru&thru · 09-03-2007, 12:13 AM

don't waste money on Halloween. The first half of the film was a bit creepy as it focused on Michael's childhood, but the second half was your run of the mill cliche horror film and I personally don't think it added much to the original. I actually got so bored, I was ready to leave with about 20-30 mintues left in the movie. and some of my friends let me know Balls of Fury was eh, but in no way compares to Superbad.

I just wanted everyone to know they NEED to go out and get the movie Hot Rod if you haven't seen it yet...

I laughed my ass off at this movie... I'm going to watch it again tonight with the old ball and chain, once I get her ass off of COD4...

RobH4413 · 12-10-2007, 04:23 PM

Anyone see the previews for this new Will Smith movie, "I am legend"?

I'm thinking it will be pretty good. Despite the worn out theme, I think I'm going to see this one when it comes out.

BleedBurgundy · 12-10-2007, 04:26 PM

Yeah, i can't wait. It looks pretty good...

12thMan · 12-10-2007, 04:54 PM

going to see "no country for old men" tonight - anybody seen it?

mredskins · 12-10-2007, 04:57 PM

^ Nope but BDK gave it a good review. I do want to see it.

MTK · 12-10-2007, 05:10 PM

"Old Men" looks really good and is getting good reviews, I'd like to see it too

12thMan · 12-10-2007, 05:23 PM

My buddy, who loved the movie, said that he really liked the ending but that "it wasn't Hollywood" but I bitch-slapped him and told him to shut up before he could elaborate on what that meant.
I really want to see it.

Edit: he also said that it's a film-lovers type of movie, so it's not for everyone.
