Therefore, I will not be watching it.


If you haven't seen it, shut up. Don't judge something you know very little about.

I can tell the storyline from the previews, it's not that hard to fill in the spaces.

Have you ever seen High Fidelity Rob??

Now that was one of the best movies I have ever seen...and Jack Black is in it. Don't assume everything he does sucks.

It's easy to fill in the spaces for almost any Hollywood movie. That doesn't mean you can't go and have a good time watching it.

I think we've given rob a hard enough time allready :lol: but...

this isn't the type of movie to see for the storyline, its good to get a couple laughs out of. i'm sure it wasnt meant to have an in-depth plot.

Actually, that was a good movie. Jack Black didn't star in it, though. That was when he was young and getting the kind of goofy sidekick roles. Then fame got to his head and he tried to be a "rock star".

It's not just Jack Black. There's just so many things about this movie that don't appeal to me. Actually, there are things in this movie that do just the opposite.


I think we've given rob a hard enough time allready :lol:


Yeah. Am I not allowed to have a differing opinion?

rob, you can always have a different opinion, but what's bugging me is that you're bashing this movie without having seen it. To tell you the truth, when I first saw the trailer for it, I thought it looked pretty stupid, but then when I heard nothing but good things about it, I thought I'd give a chance. A low and behold, when I gave it a chance I enjoyed it.

I was giving my reasons why I don't want to see the movie, not bashing it.

The following would be bashing:

that movei is so fucking stupdi becuse jack black is a asshole and he cant act and the movie is stupid and its a kids movie and any1 that watchs it is a moron becuse its a stupid movie and i dont like it becuse its stupid!!!1one

here's what you identified as bashing:

and here's some the things you said before about the movie:
it's a kid's movie

a direct ripoff of the storyline used in other movies + books

chocked full of cliches

stupidity in the name of Jack Black


basically what you've said is your definition of bashing without the profanities and bad grammar.

Taking things out of context to prove a point?

Look, I really don't want to start anything here. All I can suggest for you is see the movie. Sure, wait 'til it's out on video then rent it. If it's as aweful as you say it is, then I owe you a coke. Let's let this be the end of it, shall we.

I have an opinion on this movie based on the previews. I have decided that this is not a movie I want to see. I then gave my reasons for not wanting to see it. I then backed up my reasons. That is not bashing.

Repeatedly telling me to shut up doesn't go very far in trying to prove whatever point you're trying to prove.
