Massawyrm Didn't Hate STOMP THE YARD!!

Published at:  Jan 11, 2007 10:51:56 AM CST




Hola all. Massawyrm here.



Well, Harry’s been interviewing Cameron. Quint is off to Sundance. Moriarty is seeing powerful films that are convincing him to get a vasectomy. So you know what that means? It means I get the honor, nay, the privilege of covering such incendiary filmmaking as…Stomp the Yard. You know, we each have our special parts to play here at AICN, and sometimes it’s nice to get the glory assignments. The much sought after and fought for assignments. Like seeing films. Like Stomp the Yard.



Look. I don’t care how much Bass you put in your music. I don’t care how slick or street your clothes are. I don’t care how nigh topless the women running around with you manage to be without getting arrested. There is nothing, NOTHING, even remotely fucking manly about having a dance off with another man. Nothing. No, I’m sorry there’s nothing you can do. Add those pretty, explosive backlamps used in Rap videos. Shoot it all slick and raw. Call it clownin’ if you want to. But when your ass is gyrating while making eye contact with another man…well, you might as well just pop on over to Amazon to order yourself a couple of Will & Grace box sets and a turquoise bracelet there Suzie. You ain’t manly. Not in the way you think.



I know, I know. Krump is COOL. There’s even a killer documentary about it. It’s now considered alright by the youth of America to get together at clubs and settle their disputes through interpretative dance. I know it’s always been my dream to throw down a few moves to work things out with the phone company, but that ain’t the American way. No. The American way involves this becoming cool for a few years every decade or so, until it fades away and becomes decidedly uncool. For the rest of your life.



Youth of America, I come to you from the future, a future 10 years down the road when you’re at an office Christmas party and Bill from accounting begins to Krump to an old “fi’ty” track on someone’s iPod. You will roll your eyes and you will laugh. Because that shit was tired and weak YEARS ago. Believe me, I know. I’ve been there. Once upon a time I owned and enjoyed a Vanilla Ice record. Yes. RECORD. I learned to dance by watching C&C Music Factory videos, mastering such difficult maneuvers as The Running Man, The Roger Rabbit and even a bit of The Cabbage Patch. I even longed after the eagerly awaited and very short lived HYPERCOLOR SHORTS. Oh yes. Smack it up, flip it, rub it down. Oh no.



But those days are over, my friends. So you may be asking yourself Wyrm, if you were into that embarrassingly bad garbage in the past, how dare you condemn us for keepin’ it real and throwin’ down with the mad skillz? Well, that’s kinda the point. You see. I can’t. There are gonna be some assholes out there this week that are going to joke about Stomp the Yard being Breakin’ 2: Electric Boogaloo (hey, speaking of days long gone, remember when that joke was funny?) but it ain’t. This is Breakin’. Without the ‘electric.’



Look, every few years we’ve gotta endure this. There will inevitably be a new dance craze as the next generation tries to distance itself from the previous lot, and studio suits will always try to capitalize on that. A few days ago, in Harry’s monthly DVD piece, he referred to Rock around the Clock and Twist Around the Clock, saying how they just didn’t make films like this anymore. I contend that they sure as fuck do – he just has minions to go and see them for him now. Really, this is no different than those films. Or Breakin’. Or Lambada: The Forbidden Dance. Or Dirty Dancing. Or Xanadu. As long as there are teenagers, there will be dance trends, disposable income and studio suits trying to make one from the other. Which brings us to Stomp the Yard.



Look, odds are you have zero interest in this film. And if that’s the case, this film has nothing for you. At all. It wasn’t made for you. You’ve seen this story a billion times before. The new kid in town with a past falls in love with someone else’s girl causing complications that just so happens to find its only resolution at the business end of a Dance Off. And we all know how that story ends right? Well, all of us except those too young to have seen it several times already. There’s a reason this is Rated PG-13, guys.



But, if for some reason you fall into the category of those interested in this film – or you’re the parent or older sibling of someone who is – I can’t knock it. For what it is it does a fine job of doing what it does. It zeroes in on its audience and nails them. The dance scenes are shot exquisitely, and while giving off a very music video vibe (something that’s become an off the cuff demeaning insult these days) it is visually interesting and will definitely entertain anyone who wants to see this for the dancing – which is well done in its own right.



And while I laughed repeatedly at the hokey-ness and unrepentant predictability of this thing, I also laughed at several points I was supposed to – during a few clever character moments and at a couple of well placed lines. But the audience around me was simply going nuts. Everyone who had shown up excited by the prospect of this film hooted, hollered and gasped throughout and all left with smiles on their faces. It almost had the energy of a BNAT crowd. It was insane. These folks wanted to love it and they did.



And I couldn’t hate it. As much as this comes across as a big ol’ bag o’ clichés, and takes itself way too seriously, it delivers to those who want to take it seriously. It certainly is no Roll Bounce which took a very similar premise and had a shit load of tongue in cheek fun with it – but it isn’t bad. No. This is Drumline with a new Nick Cannon. Same movie, different skill set.



Overall its got a positive message, and while some may take issue with it being something of a recruitment video for fraternities, the strong attempt at pushing education and personal growth as a primary drive far overshadows that. If you have a daughter or a younger sibling - or heaven forbid, a significant other - dying to see this, it isn’t gonna kill you to sit through it. In fact, you might find yourself enjoying the comfortable familiarity and inherent goofiness of grown men posturing and acting tough…over their ability to bust a move. But you certainly can’t hate it.



Stomp the Yard is one of those rare films that you already know whether or not you’re going to enjoy before you even walk in the theatre. It’s either for you or its not.



Until next time friends, smoke ‘em if ya got ‘em.

Massawyrm



Smack it up, flip it, rub it down…or send it here. Oh no!

    All conflict should be resolved through dance. Or a Battle of the Bands. Or a Bake Sale. This is one of those reviews where I think, "Massa is on crack and has been fucking chimps again, but damn it's funny and I want more written like this - only on better films or at least 'geek' films and not some jiggy-licious homeboy-fest. Reading this review reminds me of Harold and Kumar...'No! I don't want our balls touching!'."

    Dance movies need to do what porn did.

    by barry egan

    They should totally stop trying to tell a story. The whole point of the movie is to have some cool dance sequences and the filmmakers have to string them together with some lame story. Porn used to have the sex scenes be linked together with some lame story nobody cared about and they have largely stopped doing that, they just present the sex. Dance movies should do the same thing. Give us 5 or 6 really well staged and shot dance numbers with not lame story trying to connect it all.

    by cartagia

    He never once said that he liked this movie. He said that he couldn't judge the people who do, because he liked the same kind of stuff in the past. He admits that the movies does what it set out to do. That is not the same thing as liking it.

    Just like how he "hated" 300. He never said any such thing. He just looked at it from a critical standpoint and talked about the stuff he didn't like, rather than the stuff he did.

    Talkback racism

    by doctor_sin

    It's not that "films aimed at the African-American audience" are ridiculed...it's that Hollywood perpetuates stereotypes (and self-imposed stereotypes African-American audiences adhere to) when their idea of aiming films at the African-American audience means all negative stereotypes must be reinforced. If you are an African-American, aren't you saddened that each and every black character must do some "Aaaww hail yawh!" or "Daaaaamn!" minstrel-show routine? And that, if the character is actually literate and intelligent and mature, audiences condemn it "isn't black enough" or some crap? Good stuff like "Barbershop" is a rarity. Most stuff ends up sinking to "Diary of a Mad Black Woman" level and resorts to cheap stereotypical humor. Even "Friday" (a comedy classic if ever there was one) doesn't just resort to littering the dialogue with rote "blackisms" but instead has characters that live, think, and breathe. I ridicule the machinery that cranks out the kind of crap that does nothing but reinforce self-loathing among the populace by bringing nothing new to the table but a load of "urban slang." Baggy clothes do not an African-American film make. And, btw, Pursuit of Happyness was BEAUTIFUL and I wish Will Smith would stick with stuff like that rather than turn every action/comedy film into a "Aaaawww, hail yawh" performance. He just phones in the Standard Black Action Character. It reminds me of Hollywood Shuffle when the pimp-actors are told to act 'more black.'

    by just pillow talk

    There was a village where little blue beings lived. Papa Smurf was the 'Godfather' of all Smurfs, and kept them all in line with threats of physical and mental harm. Smurfette was his whore and brought the big bucks to Papa since she was the only bitch in town. Papa's mob kept all the other Smurf citizens in line. An old bald son'a bitch tried to move onto Papa's turf, but he had him whacked, ie smurfed. The End.

    Ok, someone please explain to me why the Cleaner is specifically targeted to a black audience. What, the lead is black so it's automatically a "black" movie unless your name is denzel or will? Because nothing in the actual trailer gives that impression in my opinion. It just looks like another dumb comedy, just another in the long list of dumb comedies that come out every year.

    Hollywood always churns these types of films out.

    by the founder

    Nopt saying that Stomp tha Yard is bad, but Hollywood continues these types of film because they think this is what African Americans want to see. Yeah we go to most of them, cause basically it's all we get for the most part. Not every young kid who's black and who this film's target audience is will question the studio that better projects can be made and they know this, so the studio will set a budget of probably 10-20 million and they always make their money back, always. Take in the account of rentals and DVD sales and these films turn a profit. There have been very very few films with all black casts that have lost money. I read an article on this last year, and it touched on all the bafoonary and sterotypes references that Hollywood will only grennlight when it comes to so called black films. I'll also like to add that despite Tyler Perry's cliched films, and actually only the Madea character can be called sterotypical he writes them to send out a meassage. I don't have s problem with his film's. At least Perry is finacing his own projects and making the money himself and not giving it to a corporate studio.

    I looks entertaining to me. Someone mentioned hiphop dancing trying to be cynical. Well it's not hiphop dancing. It's called steppin and is very popular among Fraternities at black universities for the most part. it's been a tradition for years on end and hiphop music is being used because it's the hiphop era.

    by saluteyourshorts

    Just saw the movie and it was so strange, really not what I expected. The main character, this older cop played by Burt Reynolds, gets paired up with this little black kid who has plenty of flair and spunk to go around. Anyway, the kid gets all mixed up with a mafia guy (who sings) and has to hang around Burt. Sure, at first the two clash, Burt not wanting to put up with a child's nonsense, but soon grows to love the little bugger. I heard this movie was originally titled "Cop and a Half". Glad they changed it. Thoughts?

    It's a movie about step shows, as someone said earlier, and yes ... they're mighty popular and even cool to watch. It's a bonding rite of many black fraternities, and it's impressive to see that many folks synchronized in dance.

    There are a lot of people on here who throw that race card around and ridicule this movie at the same time. It seems like someone's threatened by this movie getting coverage at AICN ... the fuckin' white man.

    I dunno why ... dumber shit than this has been covered, and for that person who said something about "Dreamgirls" being covered, what the fuck's wrong with that? Racist prick.

    This movie's probably pretty cliched, but it's sad to see so many people getting in an uprage over it.

    I took it to mean that either the pole is tearing up his skin as he slides down, and it gets coated in blood, or that the pole is going in his mouth and out his ass, and it's turning red from his innards.

    Honkey Fraternity Films

    by ye olde shiza

    As CTU said, maybe it'd be cool if there weren't so many movies in which black males were either gangstas or dancers. But I believe there are plenty ... and we tend to only hear about the most popular black films, which just like with any other culture's films, tend to be the movies that are the most vacuous, action-packed, ridiculous movies.

    I mean, one could ask why there are so many drunken, white fraternity movies, right? Are all young white guys big douchebags, as seen in the National Lampoon's, American Pies, Road Trips, the shit-fests starring Seann William Scott, etc.?

    Truth is that MOVIES, regardless of origin, are largely cliches that pander towards a demographic. Every once in a while you get a Hotel Rwanda or a Silence of the Lambs. Every once in a while a great director comes along, Wong Kar Wai or Spike Lee or Robert Altman. But just because this movie's a cliche is no reason to start inferring that all black movies are like this, or even worse, to start mocking black film because of one mediocre example. That's just ridiculous. Something a 13-year-old might do.

    Finally, where was the review of Spike Lee's "When The Levees Broke?" Did I miss that? A powerful documentary that somehow slipped through the cracks here at AICN? Or did I just miss it entirely?

    by angry mean panda

    I don't care what some bullshit "documentary" says. They fight. They might stab or shoot each other. But nothing has ever been solved by dancing. Also, according to this movie's trailers, black people have been dancing like that for well over a hundred years. Remember that time when Billy The Kid met that black guy that was Stomping The Yard instead of not voting and not owning land, and they went on a wild adventure? Yeah, me neither. I'd totally watch that movie though.

    Stepping: Older Than Hip-Hop, No Face-Offs, Etc.

    by bubba fat

    Here what I know about all of this:

    (1) In a step competition, there is no face-off. There's no opportunity for opponents to "dance" face-to-face or for competing teams to trade move for move. Each team gets a set amount of time to perform in front of an audience. No one settles disputes this way.

    (2) The point is to make rhythmic sounds with your voice, hands, and feet. It’s actually difficult for a group of people to make these sounds and incorporate these moves at the exact same time without anybody forgetting/missing the steps or just get off beat physically or audibly. That’s why music should actually be kept to a minimum.

    (3) Although it has roots in other forms of expression and has been evolving since its modern beginnings in the ‘50s, stepping has existed as I know it since at least '70s. People did then and do now use disco music as well as rock music, TV & movie themes, classical music, sound effects, and every other form of recorded sound for their shows.

    (4) The 1st black fraternity was founded over 100 years ago at an Ivy League college. They have never been exclusive to black universities, and they have been integrated for over 50 years. More than likely this was going on at your college, and you either didn't know or didn't care.

    (5) If the movie seems to contradict what I've stated, the movie is wrong. This is something I was worried about when I saw how much dancing is shown in the trailer. I didn't see much that resembled actual stepping. It does indeed look like a dance movie, but we shall see.

    Fuckers. Wonder why Don Muprhy hasn't shown up on the TBs yet in 2007? I thought he enjoyed the way AICNers cheadled his chubby taint.

    from all the taint cheadlin' buttsex? Can't sit down in front of the computer? Or maybe he's more cheadful of the type of damage he is actually doing to the Cheadleformers? He's such a Cheadlehead. He can go suck a cheadle.

    by finky089

    Cheadled doesn't even begin to describe what they did. Shit, let David Koepp take a crack at it, at least. He was "good enough" for Lucas and Spielberg, wasn't he? Keopp, another one with talent for CHEADLING up good movie properies.

    but various other cheadlebackers have pretty much cheadled it to death.This movie never had a cheadle of a chance with Bay at the helm. But then again, I'm not invested into this movie at all. More into Spider-man and what-not.

    Pillow if you want to cheadle your way through a copy

    by finky089

    I got a pdf I can e-mail ya sometime. I have much anticipation for Spider-man. I grew up loving my G1 Transformers, but was dubious about bringing it to th escreen in live-action form. Bay getting involved was nearly the point at which I abandoned hope. But when the script leaked last year, followed by the first CHEADLEY pics of the robot designs, I gave up all hope and interest in this movie. If I go at all, I will go several weeks after it is released and only via buying a ticket for a different movie, then switching theaters. So long as I don't contribute to TF's box office gross, the theater still gets their money either way, right?

    They have a wikapedia on the internet now, so I looked it up. It has been around 50 fuckin years. So I'm not sure framing it as a dance fad movie is accurate. (Sorry if somebody already pointed this out.)

    Wiki is written by anyone. I could go on there and make up a definition about ball sniffing and how it's been a tradition on AICN since the birth of Jebus over 1000 years ago. Doesn't mean Jack or his friend Shit.

    Whether or not stepping has been around or is a dance is irrelevant. Fact is: it's gay. Yeah you read that right soldier boy. It's gay and you know what else? It's retarded. In that same way that using those as negative terms to describe something irks your bung, "stepping" makes me feel bad for black people everywhere. Solid Gold dancers have more nobility and grace than the cackfuks who "step".

    Somebody go make a wiki for Cheadling. Feel free to use th graphic above in there too. In fact please do.

    I know the Internet is a fascinating place, but despite what some people say, it is no substitute for experience - chiefly, seeing the movie. Stomp the Yard is about a Krump master who gets in trouble, has to hide out in college and is fought over by two warring Step Fraternities who need his fierce street moves to add to their routines. The films has MULTIPLE scenes of Krump dance offs and a bulk of the step sequences interlace Krump with traditional step. But the film opens with Krump (in a weird Max Max Beyond the Thunderdome "Two Dance Team ENTA! One Dance Team Leave!) And then it ends with a Krump/step dance off. And there's a whole lotta Krumpin' in between.

    More Krumping than Stepping?

    by bubba fat

    Is there more krumping than stepping in the movie? Do they make a distinction between them? (I'm trying to decide if I want to see Hollywood's version of stepping.) Also, do they recruit this guy into the fraternity just for the step team? That's weak.

    by supermarch

    I read it on wiki.

    When you have to lie to validate your idiotic rhythm of gitters and spasms it should become clear even to yourself that what you're doing is much of the dumb. Krump. Step. There all just other words for autism poseurs. Somebody needs to remix this movie with 80's tunes to properly convey the gayety.

    by cannedpasta

    I went to see I went to see Primevil last night, and while me and my date were waiting, we were scared. We were surrounded by "thugs" and there were a bunch of police officers. There were fights breaking out in the theater during the movie, and they were trying to kick people out and keep the peace. That was scarier then the movie itself.

    definition of cheadle

    by presidentevil

    for those that dont know...rich hall (80's comedian) coined the term "sniglet" which is a word for which there is no word or name for...such as "gleeck"(the squirt of saliva that pops out of your mouth from underneath your tongue occasionally when you open your mouth...he also invented the word cheadle which is of course...the tasty residue left on your fingers after eating cheetos...in case you were wondering
