Superbad
5/5
I really enjoyed this movie.

28 Weeks Later
4/5
I really liking this movie until the one point where you knew what was going to happen in the future, say 28 months later...

Pirates of the Crapibean: At World's End
3/5
It was enjoyable and I enjoyed the bits where Cap'n Jack was tripping balls. However, I cannot for the life of me, stand Keira Knightly.

Oh I thought Superbad was distasteful. I like a dirty comedy once in a while. Wedding Crashers anyone? But Superbad was just plain disgusting.

Anyhow, I am watching Amazing Grace right now. I saw Martian Child yesterday and I really liked that. I didn't think I would but I totally cried.

Superbad will go down as one of those legendary teen comedies. Guaranteed. Kind of how American Pie was huge enough to have sequels. I doubt it'll have any sequels, but it'll be known like the American Pie series.

Sand has a huge boner for Keira Knightly.

A page late, but I love Waitress.
srsly.

you like a movie about a bunch of lowlife scum cheating on their spouses? Sure one of the spouses is scum too, but that doesn't make it okay.

laurel · Post by **laurel** » 12/10/2007, 5:33 pm

the cheating was quite excessive. it's supposed to be heartwarming movie and what not...but really, cheating? how the hell is that heartwarming? sure, she gets the strength to leave her horrible husband...but really, she could have done that right at the start, held onto her pregnancy, and it would have been easier to have the ob/gyn as a single character. or! crazy thought! she could have been a strong single woman! seriously. that movie had one heck of a weak female lead.

i just found the plot about cheating to be totally unnecessary, and the characters to just be rather pathetic.

AnnieDreams · Post by **AnnieDreams** » 12/10/2007, 7:17 pm

She was planning to leave him right from the start, but we saw how that turned out. She even packed her bags and went to the bus-stop, but it didn't work out.

I don't need the characters to be perfect for a movie to be enjoyable. Yes, it could have been about a strong woman overcoming dismal circumstances all on her own. But it wasn't. It could have been a heartwarming sappy movie with clear cut morals and characters who all had their heads on straight and their compasses perfectly aligned to make the best decisions possible. But it wasn't. That's not the story Shelley wanted to tell.

The point wasn't to be a perfect little heartwarming story.

You say the cheating storyline was unnecessary, but the way I saw it, it was pretty much the main forward motion of the plot. Taking it out wouldn't fix the movie or alter the movie - it would be making an entirely different movie.

I like your argument.
It takes me back to a class in undergrad several years ago, when a very feminist student was arguing that Jack Kerouac's On The Road was worthless trash because of the way it represented women (basically cardboard-cutouts with no personality, or even character). I had to set her straight and say that it's not a feminist text because it's about men. That's the story Kerouac wanted to tell. He didn't set out to develop female characters, he wanted to tell the story of a group of men. Why impose feminist theory on it and declare it worthless, when it's clearly not a feminist text?

Laurel, I also see your point. We all find things enjoyable or not enjoyable for different reasons. I guess I just identify more with this argument

But I'll have to reserve my own judgment for when I actually get around to seeing it. *adds it to her Blockbuster queue*

Lando · Post by **Lando** » 12/10/2007, 7:40 pm

You're all missing another valid point. They didn't have a strong male lead either. Nathan Fillion is the man. I've liked him in Firefly and a lot of other stuff, but they made him play a cheating bastard too and his wife in the show actually really loves him which they mention at the end. She isn't a retard like the psycho husband of Keri Russell. Now, all that would've been okay, the cheating I mean... they gotta make movies about losers, it can't all be fairy tales after all! And it can't always end up good or have a happy ending, that would be boring, but the fact that they fucked around for 7 months behind their spouses backs and then Keri Russell leaves her husband AND doesn't even end up with Nathan Fillion. She just ends it like nothing happened and it was like both of them didn't even give a shit about each other... wow poor writing... cause it wasn't weakness on the actors' parts.

Well thanks for ruining the movie for me Lando!!!

Lando · Post by **Lando** » 12/11/2007, 1:45 am

Don't worry, if you like the characters, then that says something bad about you. They should've marketed this movie as not a happy movie instead of a love movie or a sweet movie, because you can't like or respect any of the characters besides the doctors wife... Okay maybe Matlock (Andy Griffith) cause he's an old bastard, but he's a good man deep down.

laurel · Post by **laurel** » 12/11/2007, 2:33 am

did i mention the baby is ugly too?

Lando · Post by **Lando** » 12/11/2007, 2:35 am

Laurel liked the movie a lot, so doesn't have good character... She probably cheated on me 2546446 times last night alone.

laurel · Post by **laurel** » 12/11/2007, 2:38 am

absolutely loved it. totally. amazing.

definitely cheated on him too. i was only with him...uh...from...about...6pm on friday...straight through until 4.30 am monday morning.

oh wait, there was about an hour and a half time period where we didn't see each other. i can fit a lot of cheating in in an hour and a half, and manage to shower and look pretty in that time too!

damn i'm good.

Lando · Post by **Lando** » 12/11/2007, 2:39 am

and she thought the baby was the cutest thing ever.
