Massawyrm Didn't Hate STOMP THE YARD!!
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.

Yo I bust dance caps all ova' this yard, le'ss stomp it
by godzillasushi
Yea its funny, because grown men dance off.....extremely funny. To be fair, a grown man also dresses up as a blue beast in an X-men movie. But dancing, uber un-manly. MAN LAW #1532 - Dancing to rap for battle purposes is not cool.
-
because you are a fucking hack Massawyrm.
-
a heard the guy behind me say to his son, "Oh Snap!" I kid you not.
-
thats some funny gish.
-
" Hitler's comin'!"
"Let's dance!"
-
Like "Oh Break!" or my favorite "Oh force exceeded what it could take!". Ah Snaps!
-
Talk about making a bad situation worse! Voodoo, poodoo, I dunno, but it's nasty. Godzilla, I can't even remember the last timne I heard anyone say "snap" before that. I fear for the future of the guy's son.

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!'."
-
Now, it's literal. Lebron23.
-
Shoot yea, these guys act like kids themselves too....Yikes! The future of the world.....................Says things like snap!
-
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.
-
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. -
I love how films aimed at the African-American audience (and African-American actors like Will Smith) are always derided on this site's talkbacks.
-
Like Stomp the Yard!? Here is the link to our review of this cinematic belch http://www.moviepulse.net/Pages/Theatrical/page_stomptheyard.htm
-
"...and Bill from accounting begins to Krump to an old “fi’ty” track on someone’s iPod." You mean "iPhone."
-
Is that this movie will be ridiculed in the future like people who have long hair and wear their hats backward are now?
-
Too gay, or not gay enough?
-
Will Smith's an African-American actor? Could've fooled me....
Snap...you got served...beotch..
Now its time on Sprockets that we dance.... -
I can't believe I didn't think of calling myself dorothy's taint! for allah's sake! I'll get you dorothy's taint, I'LL GET YOUin other news I have a job which demands my attention but I will most certainly be back momentarily...
-
My God, first Dreamgirls and now this? Why is this site devoting time to this crap? I go to this site to get away from this crap on other sites. What's next, an essay on The Smurfs? Get back to the nerd stuff.
-
And yes, that Massa/Harry graphic was disturbing. And enough with "taint" and "gotta eat". How about putting "Hentai" after every noun or phrase?
-
They should stop fucking about with other shit dance films and just make Footloose 2. Hell PJ could make it. He isn't doing fuck all else since the debacle that was King Kong except trying to get a bit more moner from LOTR. Go on PJ you know this needs making . . . go on . . . go on
-
Okay, perhaps you were making fun of me, but I stand by my point. I go here to be a nerd, not to read about movies 11-year old girls want to see.
-
Just sayin'. Thought you'd want to know...
-
That's some funny stuff right there, Massa. Great review. Heed not the haters.
-
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.'
-
You should challenge all of the AICN staff to a dance off. They will think that you have finally snapped and start giving you better assignments. Stay away from Drew though. I bet McWeeny can pop and lock like nobody's bidness.
-
and Barry E - it's been stated time and again that these movies are mocked without prejudice.
-
The capitalization of "Bass" in that sentence only leads me to believe that you are referring to Lance Bass. I don't care how much Bass you put into your music either Massa but I still think blasting Nsync in your lil Scion Xb is a little queer. (take that however)
-
If the image I created for you had to accompany any movie, I'm glad it was this one.
I won't see this movie. The commercials made me immediately associate the characters with African tribal dancing savages and I felt like a racist. It wasn't a conscious decision, it just happened.
"What are they doin?"
"They're praying to Umbawoto. Don't you know anything?"
Hey...who else got TB comments regarding their avatar for Mr Wyrm? That's right niggas, I just stomped all ova yoo foos. You just got f'd in the a. -
'cos you know, just because they're dancing together and fucking guys don't make them gay.
-
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.
-
Please, let's be specific here. The Man (tm) was moving in on Papa's shit. Papa had to rise up and smurf that sucker. All evil white men have cats and wear robes.
-
Fuck this garbage.
-
Maybe Children of Men was really about the Smurfs. Never seemed to have any kids. At least they didn't smack down immigrants.
-
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.
-
Go to Fark.com and look for the story about the child porn perv. 4th story up from the Wed Jan 10th border. He got served!!!
-
The best "oh snap!" was in Chicken Little. Twice.
-
as a cliche film with a "dance off to see who's the best" with the lame dramatic device of a "National Step Show Championship", until I found out it actually exists with prize money and scholarships available. Okay, its still a cliche film, but at least has a real premise.
-
A Must see.
-
Each and every time I see it.
-
then you got a problem with me, see you in the Yard to settle this. You bring the running man, and I'll bring the robot. Ya heard? Yeeyah!
-
The best Man Dance-off was in "Earth Girls Are Easy."
-
THATS FUCKIN FUNNY
-
Thats fuckin REALLY funny...he should be charged with (among other things, of course) felony stupidity
-
there's gotta be one of thems in this here moving picture
-
Word up yo!! To quote my fav line from Ghostbusters:
"What an asshole!" -
Otherwise...well he'd kinda have to be looking at an anus and getting excited about it.
-
I dunno why it made me laugh, but good one there, pillow talk.
-
little blue guys dancing outdoors instead of blach youth, would it be ridiculed here any less? I think not.
-
That needs to make it into every TB.
-
Isn't the cast mostly African-Americans?
-
LOL I can't believe someone up there mentioned Xanadu. I just saw that film recently and am petitioning Blockbuster to get those two hours of my life back. (At least the rental was free.)
-
Mad reviewing skillz, Massa. Getting the shit assignments means you turn that lemon into lemonade - always get a good chuckle out of your reviews. Keep it up.
-
Fuck no look at that graphic and play Do Me Baby....It sinks up!!!!
-
There are hundreds of dance clips on youtube that are (a) free to view (b) eliminate the 'oh no you di-int!' style dialogue, and (c) can be viewed without anyone knowing you're a big fan of dancing.Go, Billy!!!!!!!
-
That frickin' graphic is too much. I don't see how this movie could be more fun than reading your review of the film, Mass-hole... even with the image. Keep it up.
-
i think im going to take a lounge chair, a six pack and a cooler to the theatre, post up outside the screen showing this films and just point and laugh at the people as the enter and leave. my god, who wants to see this shit? dance off? a fucking DANCE OFF?!?! what has this generation come to that they think dancing against someone is a way to "fight"...i think Zoolander said it best..
"They're Breakdance Fighting!" -
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.
-
gonna make a crack about black universities but im gonna bite my tongue, LAWLZ
-
I wanna give you money. That is so funny I want to email you some money or fax, which ever is easiest for you.

Ned Ryerson? Needlenose Ned! Anyway, as one of America's youths, I can safely say that as long as people with brains (like me) keep using them and those who do not have brains (dance as political medium, etc.) keep dancing.
-
that Lebron12 IS pretty funny, so why not send him some money via paypal? I actually got some big time attention by offering money via paypal, which thankfully no one took me up on. if they did, I'd be one sorry Deus Vult.Now-more to the point, who is this mysterious Dorothy's Taint anyway? ceding me the name? generous, but I'll pass. you see, its flattering and justifying that you took this name as your own. run with it killer! taint every day on this site that a catchphrase turns into a hot new name.
-
I meant Lebron23. that's what I get for trying to read a post from a UFC site. yes that's right, I'm dat hurd!
-
just wondering...
-
hey why not get everyone riled up by coming up with the newest, hottest AICN catchphrase instead of resorting to racial or derogatory comments. look, if "dorothy's taint" or just using "taint" can get some traction ANYTHING can, trust me.
-
you know, I took a break for like two hours or so to have dinner, chat with the wife, watch a sandee westgate two minute clip from, of all people, my jeweler, and this place has completely fallen apart. this from the guy who pushed taint as a catchphrase no less! the point? let's at least try to talk about movies or something that has to do with movies or at least refrain from attacking each other or succumbing to racial comments. hey I'm the first guy to call out commies, socialists or wahabbi muslims, but I draw the line there you understand.

Historically black universites have always put shows, now rahter or not they were called stompin or steppin in the 40's I couldn't tell you, but i did indeed see a show on BET about it some years back.
-
Lemme tell ya, I never watched any "step" shows nor did I participate in any in college, but I LOVED comic view and comic justice. me and the rest of my white fraternity brothers would watch 'em every friday before getting ripped and then trying to spout out the routines from our fave comics. yes they all wore new balance, for those of you who were wondering.finally I tried to organize an oreo mixer with the delta sigma thetas and the zeta phi betas but just never could pull it off. I always wanted to date a black girl!
-
in all honesty, I sent massa and the aicn webmaster an email about byransingersucks after he called my wife a cunt. I'm all for calling white folks crackers and other related racist language because its all pretty silly but he just went WAY too far. again, this from the guy who uses taint on a daily basis.you've got plenty of good stuff behind you man, the tb'ers know who's got the skills and you come in first. something tells me his comments won't be missed and even though your's don't make sense without his, you won't be the only person who's comments dont make sense. fuck, read mine!

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?
-
yea I watched maybe two minutes or less of that video. just watching the guy rolling around in bed with the dude taking pictures was enough for me. any sandee westgate videos?
-
when you kept talking about TAINT. Mr. Show, motherfucker, live it.
-
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. -
Ok, I'm white. But I would think if I were a young black man, I would think it would be cool to see a movie about black men in college for once that wasn't about them either dancing or capping fools. I guess what I'm saying is that this film needed more Nino Brown.
-
At the end of "You Got Served" did anyone actually predict that the suckers were going to get served?

I'm pretty sure that the blue pole turns red after Harry slides down it, not blue.
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.
Maybe I'm wrong.
~ÐL -
the fake wizard of oz peter jackson remake story from earlier in the week, and I said I'd see such a movie provided there's a nice shot of dorothy's taint, provided its not CGI, and thus, a new AICN catchphrase was born. buncha sick bastards, I tell ya.
-
cases in point: they think new balance shoes are as good as nike. they think the fresh prince represents black america. they think all people who speak spanish are mexican. they think all asians are chinese. finally and most importantly, they think it endears them to those who aren't white if they act, walk, talk, dress, look or pretend to be another race, color, or ethnicity. I wonder why that is?
-
And every single one of them are fucking lame.
-
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? -

People don't settle fights with dancing in real life.
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.

these talkbacks bring a (sniffle) tear to my eye every morning...
-
BSB...still gellin? Mine were made by circus folk who smell like cabbage.

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. -

Any talkback about Peter Jackson, and he has to throw his cheadleisms about Jackson. Can't help himself.
-
will be less memorable, and more cheadleable. I think it will be hard to ignore.
-
I was quite disappointed.
-
Happy fuckin New Year, cheadles!
-
You soy hambre.
-
why, a bag od Frtio-Lay brand CHEADLES! Mmmm, the cheadley goodness that packs a crunch and won't give you gas! Cheadles are made with real cheese, so it's good for your kids. (Close up on a BOY smiling with a yellow cheadley mustache.) BOY Mom, can I have more Cheadles? Sorry, but you'll have to wait for Oceans 13, son!"
-
Shoulda been:BOY Mom, can I have more Cheadles? MOM Sorry, but you'll have to wait for Oceans 13, son! ah well.....
-
for a Cheadildo! Yes, the new Cheadildo will bring you all the sexual pleasure you desire, be you male or female. Why?, Well, as they say, "The secret's in the sauce!" Cheadildos - Now made with real cheese! (But you still get the messy residue...)
-
the Transformers script is a piece of cheadles.
-
your last line got cheadled up!
-
A group of underground savvy street kids from Chicago, challenge the Royal Shakespearean Company to a Macbeth Battle Royale with Cheese. Hilarity ensues...
-
sometimes I really detest this site's usability. but not nearly as much as I detest those MINO pics they posted today.
-
Don deserves the best! And with Jelly!
-
they're cheadlicious!
-
perhaps? Chuggfuckled?Cheadfuckled?Eh, I think just "cheadled" works best. Cheadley wanker of a server.
-
like a pasta dish! Transform into a bowl of spaghetti!
-
Er, should I be saying that when talking about "taint cheadlin' buttsex"? Megs- yeah, spikey pasta. Bay really cheadled that movie up, somethin' good.
-
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.
-
thank you very much.
-
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.
-
Lunchtime here. And I got cheadle rumblings demanding to be satiated. Too bad my lunch got CHEADLED on the way in this morning. Think I may go out and pick up some hot cheadle action instead. And by that I don't mean Crash.
-
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.
-
no motivation whatsoever to do anything productive. I think it's the cheadle in me.
-
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?
-
or don't. Not like it's an "uplifting" movie. Make me want to cheadle just thinking about it.
-
Mission to Mars or The Family Man? Both were heavily cheadled.
-
I can cheadle my email to ya. I'm curious to see it, being it so cheadlized. I said after I saw the teaser that it's a rental for me, nothing more."Make me want to up-cheadle just thinking about it"...I totally agree. Or Traffic, too bad his partner got cheadled though.
-
only because I'm a big sci-fi fan and that was a cheadlsty if there ever was one.
-
don't know my way around too well. Where you at in there? Traffic- yeah, his poor partner bought the Big Cheadle.
-
i just cheadled there today. Let me see if I can cheadle you.
-
what's your user name in the zone? I cheadled under finky089 and nothing.
-
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.)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/
Stepping_%28African-American%29 -
and cheadling has been around for several hours thanks to abom and finky.
-
Now all "cheadling" needs is a Wiki entry itself.
-
T'was my cheadle before the Mod CHEADLED me from cheadling on AquaChe@dle last year.
-
Have a cheadle of a weekend! I'm out.And don't let the cheadles get ya down!
-
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. -
couldn't cheadle for a week.
-
if a cheadle could cheadle cheadle?
-
Not overt... Just saying.
-
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.
-
who's cheadle was so long he could cheadle it....
-
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.
-
I ignored you in the Venom/TF TB hopinh "no attention" would cause you to shut the fuck up. But now I'm just calling you out for what you are, dickhead.
-
hells yeah
-
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. -
fuck your grammar police.
-
Twas all in good fun. Throw out a white boy's name and we'll happily use it.
-
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.
-
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
