OK, I just finished watching "American Pie" on FX, and it was a TOTAL AND COMPLETE WASTE of two hours of my life. Could someone tell me why it's "such a great movie" when all it's about is teens having sex??? I just don't see it...

I can't explain it either. Too many horny teenagers or something.

Argh... I HATE HOLLYWOOD! They lack the brass to make a movie that isn't mass-produced, rehashed, unoriginal, unwatchable, degrading BULLS**T, unless it stars a guy whose name starts with "T" and ends in "om Hanks".

How hard is it to make a commercial WITHOUT some lame song you hear on MTV all the time?! If I hear "Click, Click, Boom" one more STINKIN' time...

Filmmaker 1: "Hey, I met up with some guys who want to make a thought-provoking, intelligent and uplifting flick. Waddaya say?"
Hollywood: "Does it have sex?"
Filmmaker 1: "...no..."
Hollywood: "Extreme sports or MTV-Generation music?"
Filmmaker 1: "I just said it was 'intelligent'."
Hollywood: "Screw you. Next!"
Filmmaker 2: "Hey, man, wasssaap?! Check dis s**t out - I'm gonna make an extreme-teen-spy flick with a buncha babes, Frankie Munitz, and Vin Diesel, and..."
Hollywood: "Just sign here."

Yep, it has been a while since a good film like Pulp Fiction came out. Quentin Tarantino does good work.

I don't think Basic had any sex or MTV music.

That's true, but what about...umm...uh... OK, I see your point, I can't think of an "intelligent" movie. But is that all bad? cuz some of the ones out there are pretty good, like LotR an Star Wars and Matrix. They all had basically original music (none of it would prolly EVER appear on MTV anyway), and sure there's the whole "action" film genre, and yeah some girls I know think Orlando Bloom and Elijah Wood and Hayden Christensen (?) are hot, but the movies themselves were pretty good.

I assume you're talking about American Pie?  

Well, I hear they're making a third.

I have yet to see any of them and I have no plans to see them or any desire to think about making plans to see one.

I really enjoyed AP, but AP2 was a bit lame, and American Wedding sounds arse. Ap was good because the script was comedic - it didn't have a great message or an amazing plot, but it made me laugh, and that's a good thing

I don't know. A movie where some kid screws a pie...I can't see myself watching it or liking it.

I detest those coming-of-age movies where the main person's 'world' will 'absolutely shatter' if he/she doesn't make out with his dream girl/guy.

It's incredibly dull and everyone knows that real life doesn't turn out like that.

Hollywood says it's good, so it has to be!    

If you want to see some good, underground movies check out stuff by Troma, start with The Toxic Avenger.
