    This WAS the reason I liked Superbad.

    by electricjones

    How you perceive profanity is your own opinion (and rightfully so), but its usage in through adolescence into the teenage years begins in elementary school when you start to find out all these new words and use them to sound cool and older than you are (which might make you sound just as young as you are, ironically). Granted in Superbad it's exaggerated (I can't think of a kid I know that drew that many dicks that well), but from like 4th grade on this was EXACTLY the way we talked. I'm sure it varies, but free of adults, shooting the shit with your childhood friends included (i.e.) using the word shit in all of its wondrous non-literal forms, such as: "this is good shit," "what the shit is wrong with you," "i would shit on that girl's chest," "you're a piece of shit," "i just shit my pants," etc. On some occasions all of the above statements could be taken literally, which really was the true beauty of high school. And there's no greater modifier than the word "fucking," for what it's worth.

    I've never had a problem with language or sex in a film that I can remember until this new Apatow craze where the crudeness just seems to be amped up to the point where it's no longer funny, it's off-putting. This is obviously an autobiographical piece about a lousy summer job and being a teenager, but if it's just full of these kind of gags, what's the point? Are you saying anything new? Will we give a shit about the characters? Or is it just about the shock value and ewwww factor now?

    Superbad Sucked!!!

    by media messiah

    There were so many 80s movies about losers and nerds that were so much better...like "Risky Business", "Real Genius" and "Money Can't Buy Me Love". "Superbad" is a movie that will be soon forgotten. It was just an overhyped flimsy film. McLovin was cool, but that fat guy is annoying. Oh...speaking of losers, check out a film from the 90s called "Stoned Age". The film was about the late 70s and was really authentic and inspired. It is as funny as hell, and a really good and handsomely executed lost film!!! Trust me, Stoned Age should have had the kind of success that Superbad had, but didn't, doesn't, deserve.

    by whinynegativebitch

    Cant Buy Me Love? Really? That was better than Superbad? You mean the movie where they took a fucking Seventeen pin up model, and put buddy holly glasses on him making him a nerd, and then popped his collar to make him a stud? The movie about how great it is to be a whore? At least Risky Business, as flat and dull as large parts of it were, was competently made, unlike the shitty amateur hour of Cant Buy Me Love. Shit, if you'd mentioned some Hughes films or such, I'd let it slide. But all three of the films you picked were inferior to Superbad, in both laughs, and in honest representations of high school. By the way, even though Stoned Age fucking sucked, there was something oddly appealing about the locations and the feeling it was shot by a bunch of friends. Nice music too. The chick was hot aswell. A forgotten genre seems to be the troubled kids one. I guess Larry Clark dabbles in it, but more commercial entitites seem to shy away from Rivers Edge or Over The Edge style stuff. Havoc...I guess? That one where all the kids got together and fucked was lousy too.

    DirkVega: Yeap, You Are Correct!!!

    by media messiah

    I thought Stoned Aged was a rip on Dazed And Confused...a film that I have only saw scenes of, here and there...but, unlike what I saw of Dazed and Confused...which appeared boring...Stoned Age was a blast, it really is a classic film!!! I thought I was going to hate it when I caught it on cable, about 10 years ago...but I was like, "When the hell did this movie come out, and where was I when it did?" because I never heard of it before...and it was dead on late 70s...and truly a revelation as it is a funny, well acted, smartly cast, brilliantly written, and expertly directed and edited film. Again...it is a classic and smart sex/comedy/weed genre film. PS: Check-out the movie "3 'O Clock High" also. It is a film rumored to have been ghost directed, in part, by Steven Spielberg. The camera moves and editing are dazzling...and if I recall correctly, Barry Sonnenfeld was the DP. That is a really inspired film, and when you see such a film, and look at Superbad...you are instantly reminded just how very weak of a film...Superbad really is!!!

    WhinyNegativeBitch: I Stand By My Picks

    by media messiah

    The films that I talked about started off with a teen sex comedy bend to them, save for Money Can't Buy Me Love, which is just a fun teen love comedy...but all of these films turned on a dime, and presented great substance in terms of heart, spirit and narrative. You could tell they were well written scripts, they were well thoughtout, and there were thinking writers, directors and producers behind them...but Superbad was just largely thrown together improve, riffed from a story outline standing in for a script...and cut together wherever the best improve scenes worked. That isn't a film, that is just a bunch of guys goofing around in front of a camera, even the Porkies films were better than that. Superbad's makers promised us, as viewers, the next generation of sex comedy, breaking societal taboos in respect to film ratings, well so much for that, I have seen episodes of The Simpsons that are more sexually provocative??? Talk about false advertisement???!!!! It has been how many years since Risky Business, Porky's, Fast Times At Ridgemount High, 3 'O Clock High, and Stoned Age...and these films are harder than Superbad in every respect to what was shown onscreen in terms of sex and depictions of teen lifestyle and drug use, etc.??? That makes you wanna say, "What the fuck???!!!"

    I know what you mean. While I'm not saying I never swore or made some crude remarks about sex, I was never "fucking, fuck, shit, fuck". Not many of my friends did either. I think one issue I do have with lotsa Apatow movies, I feel like there's some implication that the idea is, "It's just like me and my friends are!"But I'll get to another issue raised here. Too many movies similarly written with a similar theme get boring after a while. And maybe I'm just getting really old but isn't the "adults are just lame jerks ruining our fun who don't understand us" attitude one of the most immature attitudes ever? And these movies all seem to be aimed at adults.

    If you think 'The Stoned Age' is a more accurate representation of highschool in the mid-late 70's, you obviously have no idea what you're talking about. 'Dazed and Confused' is not only spot-on with its portrayal of the period, it's a far superior film. 'The Stoned Age' is a poorly written, poorly acted piece of shit.

    Reply to Talkback

  • it's got only one funny line in the end and that's "jack off in your face". everything else is just rehashed and stupid. i'm still seeing it because of who is directing, who is in it, and what it's about. i think it's a terrible release date because it's sandwiched with hello dolly and i love you man. two other similar films that i think will either be surprise hits or spring blockbusters with monsters vs aliens and fast and furious. but nonetheless, superbad is a modern comedy classic that fits in the same league as anchorman and the strip.

    Not a real friend anyway. I think that captured male friendship in a way that few films have, before or since. Much like Forgetting Sarah Marshall was a smart examination of a breakup. They both get slagged for not being knee slappingly hilarious. But I'll gladly give up a few laughs for some genuine sentimentality. As opposed to the fake sentimentality of Pineapple Express.

    I mean, you have to submit your age to 'prove' you're mature, and then they award your maturity with a bunch of "fucks", "beer", "piss" and hints at 'sex' (sex is never sex in Hollywoodized America). Seriously, how dumb is the audience they're trying to reach?

    since obviously they're going for the eleven year olds wanting to see some tits.

    Go see some Porky instead if you're just into high school humor, but actually DO get to see some fucking nipples!

    This looks moronic in the extreme.

    But of course I'm not the target audience - 13 to 28 year old boys are. Hm. At least the Harold and Kumar movies had a modicum of wit (AND the fabulous NPH) - this seems like subpar Apatow (damn him), which is what I guess we'll be drowning in from now on. I only wish Bill Hader would pick better roles. Jesus.

    Really? This looks better to me than "Porkys" or "Fired Up".

    by the reluctant austinite

    At least I think it has a chance to better than those types of movies, and I'm not a fan of or ever have been a fan or those types of movies. I think this particular RedBand trailer is cerainly selling the "Kevin Smith dialog" and baser aspects of the film to that audience, but based on what I see as the heart of the story, I believe this could be better than that. This is both a coming of age story and a lost summer story, and if the film works on the bittersweet level of dramedy that I think were its original intentions, this might be better than the average tits and dicks joke teen movie. The park kind of represents the adventure of that time in life after college where you realize that things aren't like you thought they would be, and it's going to be tougher than you imagined, but that's when you become the person you're going to be for the rest of your life. The games and rides are symbolic of the journey, and even the games vs rides thing is a microcosm of society. Look, it may end up just the "Porky's"/"Fraternity Vacation"/"Spring Break" piece of junk you all seem to think it's going to be, but I'm holding out hope for something better.

    by majortom25

    MY fiance used to work at adventureland and she said alot of what the management says in this movie is actually true lol.

    I really think they should have filmed it at the actual park . yes its not the same but it didnt change that much.

    also adventureland has been on long island since the 60's (the adventureland that they refer to in the movie) so if it was allowed to use the name in the 60's its allowed to use the name now.

    by drewlicious

    Not that I don't like the guy. In fact I think he's actually pretty funny. I'm just getting sick of seeing him every two months. It doesn't help that its the same schtick every time either. Plus, he's gettnig fatter with each performance. Sorry there's a difference between funny fat and John Goodman fat. Its actually really disconcerting when you're not evene 30.

    by whinynegativebitch

    ...They were the teen movies of the 80's that put me to sleep, because they weren't teen movies. They were generic rom coms that happened to be set in the high school world. I mean, Hughes is still the king, but I had a weird thing for Savage Steven Holland too. Your bizare pimping of The Stoned Age is...funny and disturbing. Its a cheap and lazy rip off of Dazed and Confused, only very badly written, directed and acted.

    by eustisclay

    .. but the problem I have with rd band trailer is that I think, why bother? I meean why go to the movie when in 4 months they are gonna come out with an unrated version on dvd? I mean if you are gonna do a sex comedy then show gthe sex and say something about it. I have always wanted to work in fil and though I've had a couple of my pieces peoduced on stage, never sold a script. But I grew upin the 70's and I hace a coupleof youth comedies I wrote back then. Read them recently, Believe me, Judd Apatow is not exagerating. We talked like that back then. Dazed and Confused is close.

    WhinyNegativeBitch: Disurbing??? Oh, The Hyperbole???

    by media messiah

    You said that there was something "disturbing" in relation to my recommending The Stoned Age? There is nothing disturbing about that movie? Now, whether it is a rip-off of Dazed And Confuzed is up for debate...but Superbad is a rip-off of every teen fun sex comedy from the 80s...all mesh-mashed together in one pot, and not as good. I wouldn't call it "disturbing", I'll leave that kind of amazingly over the top, and grandiose hyperbole to you, I just found Superbad to be a pedestrian bait and switch. The filmmakers behind that film, and the studio, promised us a groundbreaking teen sex romp that would push the limits of hard R rating to new heights--well, they lied, and that is my point???!!! Superbad is barely dirtier than an episode of Saved By The Bell???

    This movie looks like a motherfucking borefest. Curses,tits, and weed does not make a movie funny. Sadly, since my girlfriend loves all these movies, I might have to smoke some weed before watching the shit. I did not hear one funny line in that bullshit ass "red band" trailer.

    dont you get that this isnt a normal trailer, its the first redband trailer that actually just clumps together all the raunchy parts without even bothering to try being like a normal trailer edit. it may seem sloppy it's just a joke. not a real trailer representing the movie.. go watch the old trailer.

    I'm hard to please as a film viewer, and when I saw the movie, I just wanted to run out and grab people and have them sit and watch it with me. The film really got to me!!! You know like the first time in life, when you really felt independent, interested in the opposite sex, and alive (???)--it captured that feeling!!!

    by oceanic86

    A great movie? "Expertly" directed? HAHAHAHA. Wow. MediaMessiah, of the myriad of dumbfuck things you've ever posted in Talkbacks, your praise of The Stoned Age is near the top of the heap. What a horrible, horrible piece of shit. My friend pulled that up on Netflix's Instant Viewing a couple of months ago, and within 15 minutes, I recognized what an awful experience I was in for.

    Someone posted that there is a film with a similar title called National Lampoon's Stoned Age from 2007 or 2008, perhaps that is the film that you saw? The film that I saw...from the 90's, The Stoned Aged, was really, really, cool.
