I love when the crux of one's argument is name-calling. BITCH.

I'd rather hear what people thought of "Adventureland," actually. Funny?

hahahahahahhahahahahha!!! Wow... this is priceless!

...'dingal-berry' (what is this guy, in Australia?
...it's 'dingle.'

I can't stand it when people resort to name-calling by hiding behind an e-mail. It's very childish and cowardly.

Disagreeing is one thing. But throwing insults is totally unnecessary.

It's also important to remember that capitalization, spelling, and punctuation (Let's just make that general understanding of the English language why don't we?) are SOOO 2008....

Run on sentences are the bomb, yo!

See, I was trying to speak so he would understand, but I think I failed. Whatever...

I'm still reeling over the fact that someone called Donald Munro a "B" word.
That was unnecessary. Maybe HMac, but not Donald! Come on!

...excellent use of too many dots, however, there, Marisa.

(I, for one, found it touching.)

Donald, you can be my bitch anytime. I mean, I take it to mean that a bitch is a person who forms an opinion based off their personal intelligence and taste.

Little Christopher,just because a movie makes a lot of money doesn't mean it's a good movie. It doesn't even mean it's a decent movie. All it means is that some industry dingleberries got together and figured out a really good marketing plan to part a fool with his money. Tell your mom she needs to monitor your computer use a tad more, she seems to be slipping there.

Unfortunately Donald, I can't tell you what I thought of the movie. I spent my cash on the kid and a discussion of the deeper meanings in Coraline. I'm so "bitch" like that.

Marissa, you needed to use more cre8ive spelling...

My gosh people get all bent out of shape over a mediocre movie. The Fast and the Furious franchise actually killed the illegal race scene. It made it obsolete and not cool. Thanks for ruining it fast and furious franchise. I saw the movie, and it is rated "C -" at best.

But this movie is geared for people who just want to watch cars and action, in that regards they will probably give it an A.

Hollywood Pitch Meeting:

Exec A: :::sigh::: I am plumb OUT of ideas. It's not like we're gonna get a fed bailout. We're almost broke! What're we gonna do??

Exec B: Hey, I've got a guy outside, some weirdo. Says he's got an idea that can help.

Exec A: Whatever. What have we got to lose? [gulps several Tums down in one dry swallow]

Weird Guy Named Bernie: Fellas, I've got the ticket to your success! I was homeless and hopeless last week, trying to follow the same fantastical path Anne Heche took in her life. She's AMAZING yo!

Exec A swallows 3 valium. Dry.

Bernie: So I'm hovering around Fresno, yeah? And I run into some dude named Chris. Man, he and I spoke the same language! We talked about cars and gettin' laid and cars and how we can't hold down anything more than McJobs and how our wives left us and we don't support our kids and-

Exec A: Can we get to an actual idea soon, please?!? [drinks a double shot of scotch, only 3 years aged due to the recession]

Bernie: -and I thought, THAT'S IT! Why not re-do Fast and the Furious mannn! Stupid people with little education will LOVE it man! Yo, bro, no kidding, but you gotta get Vinny Dee back in it, yo! He's a GOD to us. He doesn't speak man, he GRUNTS! He drives fast. He's our hero!

Exec B: Um...Bernie? We're in a recession. I don't think people will pay for--

Bernie: [swallowing a shifty-sneak shot of the scotch} Dude! Are you kidding me!?? You tellin' me Kobe sneaks ain't sellin' to the supposedly poor? You put on an MMA match, tell me who's there in the Park, man!

Exec A: Park?

Exec B: Forget it, he's rolling.

Bernie: Dude, if you write a lousy script down to their level, man, it's a HIT, man! Just have chicks kiss each other, hot cars, some crashes, VIN DEE, and dudes too busy for chicks, man.

Exec A: Well. He's right. Stupid people aren't really rushing out to Slumdog or Milk or anything else complex we've put out lately. Heck, even Nic Cage films are too much for the non-thinking man.

Exec B: And Vinnie's on a downer, sir. We can get him for a lark.

Bernie: You'll clear seventy mil first week man, seventy mil!

Exec's A&B break up laughing. All share a double shot.

It killed the illegal racing scene? Well, now there's a reason to support such a bad movie, after all.

Didn't see Fast & Furious yet, but Adventureland is terrific. It was more of a dramedy coming of age story (in the Say Anything vein) than broad comedy which is where I assumed it would go. Sort of an updated take on Kicking and Screaming (the 1995 one, not the Will Ferrell one) which itself was sort of an updated take on I Vitelloni, both of which I would recommend (along with Say Anything).

whoever believed that 'fast and furious' 'killed' the illegal racing scene...

are you stoned?

-first off:
so long as there are cars and people who like to go fast, and build cars to go faster?
There will always be an illegal racing scene.
(gimme a break, twit, the other week I went to buy a 'local camoflage' hunting shirt at the sporting goods store?
And all it was was primer gray with bad bondo and 'Acura' badges on it.)

Though it's dangerous and stupid, street racing will never die, (Fast and Furious merely glamorizes it, turns it into a fairy tale, and causes the dimwitted to think that they can do the same stuff out in the parking lot once the credits roll.)
-oh yeah, and that you can get a full sized 2 door sedan to wheelstand like that, and actually handle going anything other than straight.)

It's all smoke and mirrors, leave it there.

You can't do that stuff with production cars, (even beefed up ones,) and have them survive (which is why the clapped-out honda civics in this town look the way they do (and) autozone won't do their 'lifetime half-shaft warranty's' here in the area.)
-it's also why they go through at least 5 to 6 'clone cars' making the films
(I think they had at least a dozen or two 'general lees' for the 'Hazard Remake.')

It's a shame that there is no local drag strip (or roadcourse) to go have fun at,
(maybe the clearacil crowd with less cylinders, and more rpms than brains could get it out of their system and not wind up as chop-meat in a Bee story every other day...

Sad thing is?
-when some idiot not only splatters himself (but) his teeny-bopper-size 0 g.f. with him, (or some family minding their own business trying to get home in a minivan.)

But no, the F/F chain has far from ruined street racing, brought more money and needless bling to it, certainly.

(Hopefully it will ruin itself.)
