StrawberryFields Posted November 18, 2004 Report Share Posted November 18, 2004 We seldom, if ever, go to movies but tonight we saw this movie that we had heard so much about. I thought that I had seen another post about this movie but I can't find it. Has anyone seen this movie and what did you think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StrawberryFields Posted November 18, 2004 Author Report Share Posted November 18, 2004 I wished that I would have known about the extended scene! I guess that I will have to see it again...Any news of when it will be available for sale, my daughter really wants it.I think that my daughter and her friend enjoyed watching my husband and I seeing it for the first time. She has seen it three times already. I still am not sure if Kip's internet girlfriend is a woman or not. What about Tina the fat lard? Or the cow...with the passing school bus!!!! I have heard kids talking about tots and other one liners but what got me to go was the foo foo ladies I had lunch with yesterday. The foo foo ladies are my friends in the ward who get together and have lunch or go shopping. My husband has lovingly given them the name and now we have become an organization. I wonder where this movie has been the best received. It sure was not expensive to make, they didn't even do anything to update the house they lived in. One of the first things I noticed was the bobcat that hung on the wall; we used to have one just like it on our wall in the 70's. The suit that he buys at the D.I. (loved that part) looked similar to one my husband owned when he took me to a dance in high school.Want to know more? http://sundance.weblogsinc.com/entry/3463694269313459/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iamalighthouse Posted November 18, 2004 Report Share Posted November 18, 2004 I watched that movie about two weeks ago and i thought it was the dumbest movie in the whole world. It was also very inappropriate. the things that were implied. i didn't think it was good at all. I HATED it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're taking what was meant to be comical in the movie as a personal offense. And can you honestly suggest any other movies out there that would be better? Whereas in this example, they use "freakin" instead of a few other words, and things like that. Also. THIS IS NOT NON-FICTION. People are not like that, there really isn't anyone. I'm sorry, but there aren't! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speedomansam Posted November 20, 2004 Report Share Posted November 20, 2004 was it inappropriate? i don't remember any bad connotations. what were they? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Franken Posted November 20, 2004 Report Share Posted November 20, 2004 I believe what iamalighthouse is referring to as inappropriate is how the movie makes fun of the "geek" crowd when in actuality it's an extreme exagerration of the "geek" crowd. No one is really like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one is really like that. I do believe that their are geeks similar to these in the movie…although maybe not as self assured.Having only seen this movie one time I am a little confused. It may not be as knowledgeable about this as some of you.This is what I took from this movie:Yes there are some geeks in this movie and they do group together. I don't think that they believe they are geeks. They are just kids being themselves and they don't see themselves as different at all. The two main geeks ask the most popular girls to the dance and they are sincere in their approach. One of the geeks decides to run for student body office and you know how that turns out. The geeks rejoice and win and the end just for being who they are. In actuality nobody really admires those who need to be fake everyday of their lives just to be popular. Even popular kids have some geeky traits; they are just more concerned about what others think, so they keep themselves in check.What is being popular after all? Who sets the standards for being popular? In being popular, is it required that you separate yourself socially from some other kids?It would be such a great thing if all students understood that their life in school is such a small percentage of their lives. Once you are out of high school the things you thought were so important don't matter anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deepthinker Posted November 22, 2004 Report Share Posted November 22, 2004 i found the most "offensive" part the scene with uncle rico and deb when he was going to get his second picture. i was so creeped out, lol. the movie comes out on Dec. 21, depending on where you are. and the sound track is already released. i've seen it 5 times. lol.

Franken Posted November 22, 2004 Report Share Posted November 22, 2004 lol that's right, I forgot about that part. I agree they could've left that whole bust must thing out of the movie, that was kinda detrimental. But other than that, I can't think of anything else offending Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
