MTV Movie Awards!! Talk Back!!

Published at:  Jun 06, 2001 7:41:16 PM CDT

SPOILER ALERT !!

I am – Hercules!!

The two MTV award shows that bookend summer are unquestionably the finest award shows ever produced. All producers of award shows should remove their lips from Bruce Villanch’s homosexual hinder long enough to see how a genuinely entertaining trophython is forged.



(Yes, we recall the horror hosted by the lottery-winner-like Brothers Wayans. It was an exception. It proved the rule. (Though, one has to admit, the Macy Gray parody did amuse, even if my third-grader brother could have written it.)



The MTV Movie Awards is such a good awards show we will watch even though we learned who won way back on Saturday night. That’s right: there’s nothing “live” about it. Tom Cruise won best male performance. Julia Roberts won best female performance. “Gladiator” won best movie. No one gives a rat’s ass!



This show is all about the journey.



We will tune in to see:

* Jim Carrey’s telepathic acceptance speech for best villain.

* Christina Aguilera, Pink and two other girls doing their “Moulin Rouge” song.

* Will Ferrell’s hilariously fascistic coaching of Ben Stiller during Stiller’s acceptance speech.

* Performances by Weezer and the Dave Matthews Band.

* David Spade and Zhang Ziyi as co-presenters (find out who’s taller!).

* Jimmy Fallon and Kirsten Dunst’s “Mummy Returns” parody with Snoop Dogg and Rob Schneider.

* The “Cast Away” parody with Andy Dick as Wilson.

Future movie star Fallon co-hosts with current movie star McWeeny – er, Dunst. (Apologies, time travel is hard.) The two-hour telecast first airs 9 p.m. Thursday and will be rerun interminably for the next year and a half. The Video Music Awards airs closer to Veterans’ Day. Be there! Aloha!

I’m here to teach y’all about callin’ collect!!

I am – Hercules!!

    Siiiigh... the last fond memories I have of MTV...

    by user id indeed!

    ...are the Jay and Silent Bob promos and that Tiki God guy from that old Summer Beach House or whatever (he sounded a lot like Duff Man. "I am... TIKI GOD! Oh yeah! And this is my hapless Whipping Boy! (kick) Ha ha haaa!"). Ever since TRL, MTV have been idiotic and pandering to their new target audience of preteen girls. No longer is the channel fresh, funny, or enjoyable. They've gone from metal and alternative to pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop. The awards shows are getting worse every year. And the actual MUSIC VIDEOS- the reason the channel was even created, mind you- are only played at 3 in the blessed A.M.! BLASPHEMY!! Unless they're a Destiny's Child or N'Sync video, of course. Shudder. I suppose I'll check these award shows out, but that will end once I finally get MTV2. See the video for Gorillaz's "Clint Eatwood" if you haven't already. And what the hell ever happened to Sifl and Olly?!?!? I want my Sifl and Olly DVDs NOW, Daddy, NOW!!! "That little punk... drove a GOLF CART through my BARMITZVAH!" This has been a Moment with User ID Indeed! Oh, and you KNOW the problems I've been having with squirrel eyes.

    Gorillaz...

    by dmiles2go

    First of all Guerilla films are completely different than the new music video "CLint Eastwood" from cartoon band the Gorillaz. Personally, I kinda like the song. Dan the Automator is a fairly talented producer, and I happen to love Damon Albarn's vocals. You said the background "breakbeat" (which is pretty incorrect terminology) was stale or something along those lines, and I kinda think it goes well with Del the funky Homosapien's rhymes. You're missing the point of the Gorillaz: Dels rhymes are different, Albarn is a little shaky, but that is the point. They are getting in character in this cartoon band. This is not Del rapping, it's Russel or whatever the hell his name is. It's not Damon singing, it's 2-D. The video's pretty kick ass too. I personally would much rather see and listen to a fairly decent piece of clever originality than machine produced teenage marketed pop. Id choose Gorillaz anyday over N'Sync.

    A few things about the MTV Movie awards.

    by the great one

    First, (although others already mentioned this) shame on you Moriarity for referring to Labelle's classic Lady Marmalade as "The Moulin Rouge song" by 4 almost-clothed Labelle wanna-be's, only two of which (Mya, Christina) have any talent. That's just a disgrace. Also, There's something I miss at the movie awards: The Lifetime Achievement Awards. Whatever happened to those? I mean Richard Roundtree (Shaft), Jackie Chan, Chewbacca, Godzilla. Those are some cool entertainers. We need to keep the tradition going of honoring those people whom the "mainstream" award shows won't ever acknowledge. Also, I'm still mad about the Villain category. I'd have at least nominated Ian McKellen as Magneto. He and Patrick Stewart are the reasons I went to see X-Men (and rather enjoyed it, thank you.) Ok, rant over...

    Fallon is a total "chick comic"

    by charles grady

    I wouldn't classify Jimmy Fallon as an "untalented pretty boy." Actually his impersonations are spot-on and his Weekend Update delivery is fine - actually he's very funny and talented indeed. But I will say that he's a big-time "chick comic" -- likely a fave of twentysomething white women for whom "That 70s Show," "Friends" and "2 Guys and a Girl" are must-see viewing and the subject of giggly water-cooler discussion the next day. Like Matthew Perry, Topher Grace, Ashton Kutcher, Ryan Reynolds, and "Wedding Singer"-style Sandler, this guy is funny and handsome but non-threatening and good-natured, unlike the more boorish, streetwise, or crass stand-ups and actors who usually rule TV comedy. Therefore he's perfect for teen girls and 100-pound white 20-something vegan chicks who drive SUVs, for whom Norm MacDonald would be too snide, Horatio Sanz and Artie Lange too fat, Chris Rock too street, Jon Stewart too smart, Kilborn too insincere, Miller and Maher too smarmy, Tom Green too subversive ( though they'd be big Drew Barrymore fans ), and The Original Kings of Comedy would be from another planet. So let 'em have the guy...he's harmless and funny, perfect for the MTV audience....even if one of his big impersonations IS Adam Sandler! I mean, was Bill Murray known for a dead-on Chevy Chase impersonation? Doing a Sandler is sort of like the Zuckers doing a parody of CADDYSHACK. How do you parody a parody?

    by bskutle

    Movie fans do. That's why Sandler and Keanu have won in the past. It's just a fun awards show, with a Hell of a lot cooler awards than the Oscars or Golden Globes. Plus, the skits based on movies they do are hilarious! To the person asking about the Lifetime Achievement award, when they gave it to Clint Howard (Ron's brother) a few years ago, he was so honored that they decided that nothing could top it, so they stopped giving it out.

    Who actually has the audacity to labmast others for their culture deficiency, for their perceived lack of musical historical perspective and then follow that useless diatribe with this choice gem, "Oh yeah, and that 'Gorillaz' song is wack as f*ck. to quote: 'The Suckiest Suck that ever Sucked a Suck'." Talk about musical perspective and culture! You go, special guy! Because we all know audiophile's who spend all their time shuffling their 45's into an appropriate order are really THAT much cooler than guys who do the same with their comic collections. Flush off, Roberts, you Captain Crunch fed pseudo-snob.

    Lifetime Achievement

    by evildallas

    Just for the record, the lifetime achievement award was "retired" after being given to Clint Howard. Clint was so truly overjoyed by the recognition that MTV producers felt it would not be appropriate to give it out again as a "humorous" honor like previously done for Chewie and Godzilla. And if you read this and don't know who Clint Howard is . . . shame, shame, shame.

    The good 'ole days

    by juggernaut125

    There was a time when I longed to catch the MTV awards because they were funny. And interesting. The best skits were the William Shatner "Seven" and the Sweathogs "Pulp Fiction" and Batman "Interview With A Vampire" stuff. But the problem with that is, no one cares anymore. The Mike Myers host was crap. The Ben Stiller host was crap. The Wayans Bros. was crap. Just because you're the host of the show doesn't mean you should be in the skits dumbasses. It means you should keep the show going when it starts to slow down. Case in point. Steve Martin was wonderful at the Oscars this year. Basically the only true hi-point of the evening. Personally, I'd like to see Sandler as MTV movie host, IF he's not in the comic bits. Hey MTV if you're running out of ideas, here's a couple you could try: Ralph Macchio and Hilary Swank doing the Mau Bai death scene from CTHD it would be funny just to see them try to speak Cantonese. Ron Howard and Henry Winkler in the final fight of Gladiator. Or Gary Coleman as Shaft. Can anyone else think of any others?

    There is an interview that MTV's Chris Connelly did last week in Paris with Mark Wahlberg about the upcoming Planet of the Apes. Fox provided lots of great footage and stills for the piece that airs during the Pre-Show at 8:30. Also there is Tomb Raider special that starts at 8 pm before all the festivities.

    by rpmproduce

    MTV has remained youthful, some of you on the other hand have gotten OLD. Your problem is that you can no longer identify with the network because you have leaped out of their demographic range. I love MTV still - I am slowing creeping out of the average viewer's age group but I find MTV's mix of programming entertaining. If you want videos watch MTV2 or if that's too youth oriented you can always watch VH1 - since that's for your age bracket. Remember that when you thought the network was great those a bit older that you thought it was crap too!

    He can be funny

    by drevill8899

    Fallon can be funny most of the time, that is when he has material written for him. But the rest of the time, he's just too giddy and excited for you to even understand his jokes. He should stick to his main talent: impressions. While he doesn't really look like anyone, he can alter his voice to sound like them perfectly.

    A couple things

    by the great one

    Yes, I know who Clint Howard is, but I didn't always. I used to see the guy in a bunch of movies (though, only The Wraith is coming to me now) and I kinda liked him, but never caught his name. I was glad to see him win the LA award. He was cool and humble enough to deserve it. But, I still don't think they should stop. There are others deserving of recognition. As far as the host thing goes... God, I had blocked out the horrible memory of the Wayans Brothers fiasco. Anyway though, there is one host who always had me cracking up and needs to be brought back: Chris Rock. He pulls no punches and cracks on everybody and anybody. Oh, and I loved the Shatner/Seven skit. That had me crying. Well, there's my two cents. *plink!* *plink*

    But if it's one thing they get right, it's the award shows. They're just supposed to be fun, and that's exactly what they are.

    I always thought Jimmy Fallon to be at least entertaining. Yeah, he's no Jon Stewart, Conan O'Brien (who would've had my vote to host), or Sandler, but he's good enough. Of course, once someone reaches mainstream status, as it appears Fallon has done, he's poison to Talkbackers.

    by sethshandor

    Kudos my man. Awesome. While I enjoy Fallon more than Sandler, hell, I enjoy Rob schneider more than sandler, Can't disagree with a thing you said. As for something somebody else said, the Wayans Bros. never hosted the MTV movie awards, although they did host the MTV video Awards in one of the most awful, cringe inducingly horrible hosting jobs off all time for any awards show. I'd rather watch the Rob Lowe sing ing and dancing with Snow White Oscar shitfest than that ever again. Although the MYV video awards are lame an awful lot, despite being the "alternative hip/cool awards show, they still tend to take themselves a bit too seriously. Have yet to not be entertained by a MTV Movie awards show though.

    Ten post-awards observations (this gets long)

    by loucyphre

    Okay, haven't watched MTV much lately. The popular music they show sucks for the most part, but I do enjoy Fear and Daria, that's about it. But some observations from the first of a million showings of the awards show - actual awards are indeed no surprise, and I had no big rooting "Please win" moments (I avoided finding out who won til the show aired though). Anyway observations: 1. What the hell was that Ben Stiller pissy fit he threw for not winning Best Team? I really hope that was just a joke, leading up to his reeming by Will Farrel when he finally did win. If you missed it, when they announced Charlie's Angels as the winner, he visibly sneered and said "fuck!" 2. I see it was mentioned above in the preview but I noticed right away that Zhang Ziyi is actually a smidge taller than Spade! Joe Dirtspeck anyone? Good presentation though. 3. Can't really take Save the Last Dance too seriously for the awards it wins tonight. It was produced by MTV. Wonder if Joe's Apartment won anything years ago, I dunno. 4. Whether you like "Lady Marmalade" or not, see Moulin Rouge. 5. Glad to see MI2 getting some respect tonight after being unjustly trashed for a year straight. 6. Ahhh, the magic of Cameron Diaz's swirling ass strikes again! Huzzah! 7. Sean. Puffy. P Diddy. Whatever, hope he gets a stray bullet real soon. 8. Virgin Suicides - this really was good. Hope Sofia directs more, and hope she doesn't cast herself in anything. 9. Great wire presentation by Tucker and Chan (hopefully Rush Hour 2 will be better than the original) and congrats Zhang Ziyi. Despite being in amazing company in the nominations, she deserved the award. 10. Will Farrel speech coach rules!!! Guess that's about it. If you missed any of it, I'm sure it will be run about 500 times within the next two months.

    by twig

    Look, it's not like any award shows really MEAN anything. The ones aren't even about the winners. They're all about the skits, the music, seeing what people do to be goofy and all that. It's just a big goof. And the goof was entertaining this year. The Mummy spoof? Yeah, it was funny. C'mon, Snoop doin his izm skizm thing(that's from one of his videos I think). Besides, Oded Fehr rules! The Cast Away thing was OK, but then I loathe Andy Dick(it sucks that this no-talent can get sober but Downey can't). The Sandler-Britney thing was pretty funny, but then, I like Britney. Jim Carrey's latest speech was alright, but it was TOO planned out. And nothing will ever top his rock god persona from a couple years ago. Ben Stiller was kidding when he went "fuck". WTF is up with Cameron Diaz? Did she inhale laughing gas? Will Ferrell was annoying(he should've said he was gonna rape Stiller). Can Beyonce's Stepchil-er, Destiny's Child please stop singing all the time? OK, we get it. You can sing. Shut up. Try doing a song better than the awful "Bootylicious" next time. As for Christina, remember the Simpsons episode where Homer invented a makeup gun? Christina looks like she turned the gun on herself. Too bad. She used to be sorta cute.

When was the last time MTV fucking played videos. And I mean VIDEOS, not the ones at 3:30 in the afternoon interupted intentionally by pre-recorded rantings of teenagers making fools of themselves by saying they requested the video being played and why? Does anyone really give a fuck? In all sincerity, in this cruel world, who CARES? MTV even runs a person's name and address when that person requests a song. Christ, talk about a waste of good editing equipment. MTV is all tv shows, and second rate ones at that. Of course that's my opinion, take it as you will, but just because we, the majority of this board recognize MTV's shortcomings and self-mockeries via these award shows and teenybopper all-star games doesn't make us OLD. We're just observant. And we've observed that MTV has less interesting VJs than back in the 80s. First off, is Carson Daly trying to be the Gen-Y Dick Clark? What's with this Time Square Millenium Edition American Bandstand concept I assume MTV is trying to convey with TRL? The Movie Awards, I will admit, are funny. I've seen everyone since they began in '92, and trust me, STILLER WAS JUST FUCKING AROUND. He was not really upset, you could tell clearly from the way the camera shot at him. You kind of have to think why would the camera shoot just at him to see his reaction but not at the other nominees. And the camera was right on his face when he was clearly mocking a prayer, having his fingers crossed like some little kid. Trust me, MTV may be a dumping ground for preteen girls and teenyboppers but they do have a knack for setting up bits, and the Ben Stiller reaction was definitely one of them. They do that shit to Jim Carrey every year. A couple of year's ago, when Carrey randomly showed up dressed like Jim Morrison, at the most random times throughout the program, they'd show Jim looking at the stage while lighting a cigarette. The sight was funny as hell if you can remember it. His acceptance speech was "brilliant". The winners were disappointments, what about Tom Hanks? What about X-Men for Best Picture. Hell, come to think of it, getting THREE nominations by an award show such as this ranks at least to me as a victory to comic book movies. They ARE looked upon fondly by the movie going public, that is if they're done right. Julia Stiles is very cute, Shannon Elizabeth was beamin, and I'm not talking about Willie. Christina Aguilera has to realize she's 18 not 27. She would still get it though. Britney has guts to be such a bitch tonight. Telling Kirsten to go to hell? Yeah it was an "act" but thank god Spears has looks, because her heads apparently getting so fucking big, it'll sag faster than her alleged enlarged breastacists. Eddie Murphy was nominated twice, could he have least showed up? Did the producers think not to even invite the guy? Yeah, he's gotten older since '84, but hell he STILL ROCKS. I like Jim Carrey, but I do agree his winning is getting a bit out of hand. Best Villain? Don't ask. I don't like some of the winners that get chosen, last year was a clear indication that only teeny movies get the duke. Let's review, shall we? Cruel Intentions. Sarah Michelle Gellar, Best Female Performance? Get off the pipe, she's POPULAR. That's what the MTV Movie Awards are about, popularity. Yet, I STILL watched them because I love the traditional categories including Breakthrough Director. Sofia Coppola deserved it. Other than that sometimes funny, but other times too crummy awards show, MTV is losing it.

    by the founder

    I don't really care for Destinys Child and Britney Spears music, but at least those girls in DC actually has some vocal ability(the last time I checked that was a must for the music industry)but we have yet to see Britney do something that actually comes close to singing(I tune in to MTV occasionally and I don't think I've ever seen Britney do anything accappla) sigh just another example of how mainstream america perfer looks(she is hot! and Dc as well) over actual talent. The Show was great, and it was never boring, sorry can't say the same for the Oscars.
    *****Charles Grady The Jimmy Fallen post was dead on. The Kings of Comedy remarke was some funny sh#t. Jimmy Fallen's Chris Rock impression was good. I was in the kitchen and heard him doing it, now at first I thought it was Rock, but after listnening
    more I knew it was someone doing an impression, but I was surprised to see it was Fallen when I walked in the room. The Mummy skit was good and the others were entertaining, but overall that show was good. All the performaces were great. HERCULES you could at least took the time to find out the names of MYA and Lil Kim instead of referring to them as the other two girls(jerk).

    I'm just curious to know if 23 is considered to old for MTV? I watch MTV every now and then, and I have to agree with a lot of the posters. MTV was cool years ago, and I actually got turned on to different artists in different genres of music when I was in my teens, but right now I don't see that happening for the teens today, because basically it's pop pop pop pop pop like someone posted already. When they do show actually videos it's late night or should I say early in the morning say around 4 or 5. Am I the only in the coutry that doesn't get "what's the big deal"
    about Britney and Nsync? I swear these people get so much exposure from MTV and mainstream america gives them so much praise like their the second coming or something.I just can't see it, but they've sold millions of albums so what do I know.

    The show this year was lame

    by stilt-man

    That Andy Dick/Castaway thing...ughh!, the "spontaneous banter" between the presenters was horrid too. What happened this year, the MTV awards show used to be the coolest one out there. I actually enoyed the show better by muting the presenters and "comedy skits" untill the rundown of Best action, kiss, team, whatever, began playing, found out who won, then hit the mute button (to also drown out the winners acceptance speeches/banter, etc., that sometime had the dubious honor of occasionally being worse than the presenters rambling words) until the next batch of movie clips highlighting whatever award the film was up for. I would ask if I am the only one who found the MTV Movie awards show particulary (and quite unusual for an MTV awards show I would venture to say) lame and boring/bland, but I have not had a chance to read the other talk-backs, and I suspect others have had similar things to say about the show. Some fun movie clips though, of movies I had/had not seen (but now want to see).

    Is it just me or.....

    by jay

    is Julia Roberts the meanest, nastiest bitch around? I FUCKING hate her!! And this isn't a "pouncing on someone cool because it's cool" type thing. This is years and years. At the MTV movie awards (it sucked of course!) she says "My statue broke" or something like that. It doesn't sound all that bad, but when you see it you'll know what I mean. Bitchiness just pours out of her head. And she didn't even go to the awards. What, is she too busy following up her classic Notting Hill with America's Sweethearts? When she won the Oscar for Best Actress, she still acted like a bitch by "innocently poking fun" at the Academy. They would give a free TV to the shortest speech. She said, "I already have a TV so I'll talk as much as I want." Or something like that. Oh yeah the movie awards.... Jimmy Fallon is funny doing impressions but he isn't funny on anything else. Kirsten Dunst needs to grow her hair out long again. Gladiator sucked royally! John Travolta sucked in his gut. Adam Sandler is fucking hilarious all the time. Is Zhang Ziyi from Heaven? Is Lil'Kim from Hell? Weezer is a shit band. Why isn't Puffy in jail? Hey, why isn't O.J. in jail? Oh and the Lady Marmalade song, it's Mya and three other women. Mya might be from Heaven too. Wait, is Pink a guy or a girl? Scratch that, it's Mya, two other women, and a man. Ben Stiller is a riot. Jim Carrey isn't. Jim Carrey needs to die. I've just found out that telepathic messages to the audience and making fun of Star Trek isn't funny. Star Trek is boring. And it sucks. The new Dave Matthews Band song sucks too but not as much as John Travolta's stomach. SNL people need to stay away from MTV. MTV sucks. A. Lot. Julia Stiles is hot and can't act worth a shit. Halle Berry is hot and can't act worth a shit. Russell Crowe needs to hurry up and get shot. SNL was cool but when Cheri Oteri and Molly Shannon left, it's not as funny anymore. :o( They still need to stay away from MTV. The beginning of the awards show where they are doing that Madonna bit is just plain out awkward. Nicole Kidman didn't go the awards because Tom Cruise was there. Fuck! That would've been entertaining! The show wasn't entertaining. Please Julia Roberts, do something nice and die? Oh, and Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon is 10 times better than Gladiator. People call Erika Christenson a Julia Stiles look-alike. But Erika has talent while Julia doesn't. So Julia Stiles is an Erika Christenson look alike. Gladiator is a horrible movie. "What we do in life echoes in eternity" is the lamest quote this side of Michael Bay. The new Tool is the shit whilst the new Weezer is shit. And Lord of the Rings is going to be very cool. End.

  • I had to stop eating, I'm serious, when she came on because it made me feel like I was going to throw up. Her hair is twice as big as she is and she looks like a clown with all that makeup. I'm feeling sick again thinking about it. Cameron Diaz just looks worse and worse too, plus she's getting really annoying. It'll be a real shock to her when in a couple of years everyone starts ignoring her. "But they all used to think I was so funny and cool!" Britney looked good, have to admit it. Shannon Elizabeth looked hot, that Tara Reid looks SO skanky like someone else mentioned, Carson has to be regretting knowing he's going to have to look at THAT in the morning for the rest of his life. Hahaha. Ashton Kutcher, five minutes are almost up, better milk it for all it's worth! Like a few others in the five-minute club on that show. It's funny like when during that Jim Carrey bit (the biker guy a few years ago: hilarious / this: NOT) it kept dragging on and on and you could tell everyone in the audience kept trying to force themselves to laugh and keep it coming so they could kiss superstar ass. MTV has become completely irrelevant. They've put all their eggs in this teen-pop craze and the bubble's starting to burst like they talk about on the recent Entertainment Weekly cover - so now they look even more out of touch. Good riddance!! Okay, rant's over, I feel better.

    Ric Ocasek has brought WEEZER back from the edge of obscurity to remind the sugar coated wanna-be punk shits like Blink 182, the garbage metal-rappers like Limp Biskit, and the homo boy bands (pick one) that real, well-written, melodic, intelligent catchy, popular-because-it's-good-not-because-it's-shoved-down-our-goddamned-throats-by-Carson-Daly (is it me or is Tara Reid more famous because she's fucking HIM? Now I've seen everything) ROCK AND FUCKING ROLL still is alive and can thrive on MTV. Weezer's "Green album" is the first CD since Mr. Bungle's California that I would rather go to the store and pay for than download for free. Support real bands by buying albums. Steal from the shitty ones.

    One thing that has hardly been mentioned is that Snoop was the f'ing shiznit!! He stole that skit, brought it to life, and made it really funny. Too bad he hasn't put out a decent album since Doggystyle. Tara Reid is HIT! Carson Daly can bang anybody and he chose that? Dude's got issues apparently. Like a TB'er said before, if the only real promotion that Swordfish is getting are Halle Berry's hoo has, then you know this movie is crap. To think I was almost looking forward to it too. Pink has the shoulders of a man, baby. Mike Myers is not funny unless he's saying, "A piper is down. I repeat, a piper is down." Jim Carrey has always been wonderful on this awards show; recall (last year?) putting zits all over his face and acting like a teenager. Admit that was too funny. So now he's got to top everything. Well, this year, his skit was so stupid that when he wins an award for not even being in a movie, he'll easily top it. Ben Stiller is a riot because he acts so serious and the skits look real. Him exclaiming, "FUCK!" when he lost was hilarious. And Fallon's Seinfeld impression was so dead on..."Whhhyyy do they call theeem Survivor?" Zhang Ziyi can get it and so can Kirsten Dunst (Bring It On really shows off her "talents"). Must... watch... CTHD... again! I'm OUT!

    Why do you guys complain

    by funkaboo

    when you answer the question yourselves. You all want to know why MTV sucks so bad and why the awards shows are crap, giving golden popcorns to movies you hated. Well, most of you said it, it caters to teens and pop music. And there's nothing wrong with that. If YOU KNOW that movies like Charlie's Angels, Save the Last Dance, MI2 and Me, Myself and Irene are nominated and you think those movies are crap, then why watch? So, you can come on a posting board and prove how clever you are with your disses? *********** What makes it even worse is that most people have been bitching that MTV just gave these awards to crappy people/movies when MTV didn't do shit, the people who watch MTV did, they voted online and by dialing in to some toll number and we've already established who their viewers are, who they cater to. If you wanted the outcome to be different, then you should have voted. Don't whine about who won when you let the 13 year old girls do the voting.*********I personally love watching MTV's two awards shows for various reasons. One, I like pop music (though I'm convinced that ANY song from ANY genre that crosses over mainstream is pop) and I may not like all the songs (I will not purchase the new version of Lady Marmalade) but it's fun to see them performed. Even if they just make you laugh and groan. Two, anything goes. I know that the celebrities are looser than they would be at say, The Oscars, Grammys or Golden Globes. It's fun and interesting to tune in and see the silly clothes they will wear, proving once again that just cause you got money, doesn't mean you suddenly have style. Third, the wacky categories - Best Kiss, Best Team, Best Villian.********** Anyway, my thoughts on last night's show: 1. Jimmy Fallon IS funny. Sorry, I'm not a 20-something white girl but a 20-something black girl. Still think he's funny.***** 2. As a black woman I watch these award shows hoping and praying that black entertainers don't shuck and jive, a la Cuba Gooding Jr., and overall "play themselves". I am let down every time. Last year's MTV Video Music Awards showed the Wayans at their jasper-best. Samuel L. Jackson is funny and classy, no problem there. Beyonce made me cringe in the preshow, "I'm here with my man, Ben Stiller" "I'm here with my girl, Pink." "I'm here with my man, Johnny Knoxville" Um...she couldn't think of something else to say? And if they are going to sing at every MTV awards show they weren't invited to perform on, then shoot me now. I love them, bought their CDs but damn, overkill! Halle Berry ... "unjustice" What? Sean Patrick Thomas (from Save The Last Dance) "Big-ups to Delaware and Guyana!" That's like saying "big-ups to brooklyn and haiti" huh? ********* 3. I kept waiting for Christina Aguilera to break a bony ankle, surely that wig was too heavy for her lil body. Pink did not look sexy or desirable at all, there's something off about her figure, I can't place it yet. She has beaten Michael Jackson's record on crotch-grabbing during an awards show performance, touching her coochie 20.5 times. Though, who knew she had an ass? I put the tv on mute every time Lil Kim was on camera, thank god she didn't present an award. I remember when she presented at the VH1 Fashion awards and pronounced Avant Garde as "A-vant GarDAY" LORD! Poor Mya has pipes and talent, whoever advised her to do that collaboration should be fired. **** 4. Was Tom Cruise in the bathroom when Nicole Kidman introduced them? I'm sure he was hoping the movie tanked as bad as that performance. I'm kidding, that was mean. ***** 5. Does anyone else get the impression that Tom Cruise is a geek. Don't get me wrong, I'd still eat him up but it just seems like he lacks social skills. Like he probably hasn't had to work too hard for many things, women, movie roles, friends, etc. So when he's at these younger and looser awards shows he's at a loss. Did you guys notice how he didn't even look right doing that hand shake thing with the fans in the pit? I fully expected him to pull out his anti-bacterial handwash at the podium. And that speech, "thank you thank you thank you thank you very much thank you" Zzzzzzz. Poor guy, hopefully he'll loosen up soon. I mean Jim Carrey is just as big a star and he did a mini-stage dive. ****** What number am I on, I don't feel like scrolling up....anyway, the American Pie 2 chicks were looking pretty skanky and I could have lived another 26 years without seeing Shannon Elizabeth's tits in that shirt. Tacky. Though I was happy to see "Willow" and "Wesley" who was looking extra fine. ****** Cameron Diaz summed it up perfectly why she's so likable. She's blond but she shakes her lil ass and makes funny faces. Also, she has the WORST and most unattractive laugh for a woman but she doesn't give a shit. I love her. ****** And finally, was that Morris Day sitting next to Puffy er...P-Diddy?

    ...and a bit more shouting, from the peanut gallery

    by willardeisenbaum

    Just a couple more comments. I watch this show (several times) evry year, warts and all. At least it ain't the Real World. The MTV Movie Awards always has brilliant moments. -- One complaint I have is, they should mike the audience a little better; just like every awards show, I like it better when I can hear all the Love in the room. -- would it have killed Jim Carrey to remember Dr. Seuss himself, in his boring pre-recorder psychic thank-yous? -- would it have killed Weezer to play a different song? We just heard that one on SNL -- I'm not one to bash gross chicks, even thoughg there would be plenty of opportunities on this broadcast; but I love to compliment hotties, and I gotta say that Kirsten Dunst never looked more fabulous than in her Madonna moment and in several of her subsequent costume changes -- didi somebody think to give Christina Ricci SOMETHING TO EAT at the afterparty? I've always loved her but theSlimFast look is scary! -- anybody still reading? I'm actually embarassed to post now that I realize that, no matter how cool it is to be known as Willard Eisenbaum, my name can never be as cool as: HOBO CAMP!!!

    does it strike anyone else as funny that the major winners for this "anti-award" show were the same nominees as the oscars? I'm not attacking mtv with that, so much as the oscars. I mean, Julia Roberts and Gladiator are things that the mtv movie awards should be stupid enough to award, not the oscars.

    And all this bullshit about the how great the MTV Award Shows just goes to show what an idiot HERCULES is and how little he knows about pop culture. MTV used to be funny and innovative and now it's just one big fucking cheeseball introspective... making fun of what it used to think was cool. How could any so-called "geek" praise the MTV Movie awards so much when they award the movies that smart people are smart enough to ignore?

    That being said, it wasn't an all together annoying evening. Ben Stiller's acceptance speech was funny... and I really liked looking at MYA (because so hot) and PINK (who is hot with long pink hair). But the true highlight was WEEZER (=w=)! They got a big damn STANDING OVATION, for crying out loud!! And they didn't even get censored! How cool is that?

Star Trek is awesome in all it's forms EXCEPT Voyager. I won't comment on ENTERPRISE untill I see it, BUT I don't know what to think about that yet. Voyager = big load of shit. All other Star Trek = DAMN cool!

    AND FINALLY. YES Gladiator does suck big time. All fighting, no plot. I hate that terd of a movie. BUT Crouching Tiger sucked too. Best movie this year was clearly O Brother Where Art THou.

    The only things ever good on MTV: Headbangers Ball, Remote Control, Liquid Television (Aeon Flux was only good when she didn't talk and killed a hundred soldiers every three minutes!), Yo! MTV Raps, The Head, the first few MTV Music and Movie Award shows, The Maxx (everyone NEEDS to own this), Alternative Nation (Kennedy you are my fuck goddess), Beavis and Butthead (for the first few seasons at least), The State, Sifl and Olly (ROCK!), and Downtown. So, basically almost everything that isn't animated. Even then it had its duds (The Brother's Grunt). MTV 2 is showing a bit of the early 90's MTV highly inventive and imaginative styles in their promos and groupings of video blocks (except when Control Freak is on, god I hate it!). Ian Robinson fucking rules! The TRL formula was kind of hashed out by Hanging W/MTV, if anyone remembers that show. Even that was so much eternally better than Carson Daly's fat, shallow, N'Sync ass-kissing, jizzing on twelve-year-olds, unimaginative face!

    The real problem with MTV...

    by mechboy

    is the blatant overcommericalization that MTV has turned into. MTV when it first came out, it was revolutionary because it gave us tastes of artists that radio generally ignored during the late '70 and early 80's. It has nothing to do with age on why there is so much hatred, it has to do with shoving every brand name who tries to bilk us of our cash. The greatest problem with the MTV movie awards is that it was started as a spoof of the Academy Awards, and the MTV staff still try to keep it as a spoof. Remember, just because all of MTV's video jockeys are young, does not mean the channel is run by Gen Xers or Yers.

    Will Ferrel is God

    by sublime059

    Once again, Will Ferrel proves he is one of the best comedians known to mankind, and one of the only reasons i watch SNL.

    FUNKABOO

    by the founder

    A very valid post, and one I have no complaints about except the comment on "Anything that crosses over to mainstream is pop"? WTF I sure we could debate this to the wee hours so I'm going to leave it alone. That comment is almost as bad as when one of those idiot Nsync guys saying "artists make videos to be popular"????? Yes he's an idiot, because any sane person knows that respcted artists make videos to provide entertainment and appreciation to their supporters. If that was true then we would have an endless supply of videos from all in the music industry. It all boils down to insecurity and Nsync as well as their peers are corperate bands and their main focus is money and not art. If it was art to them then they wouldn't feel a need to shove out an album a year later out of fear that if they take break for a couple of years they will become forgotten. Artists who put their music first and don't compromise their artistic integrity in place of fame a wealth will always be respected and can always expect to have longevity in the business.
    Artists like Madonna, Whitney Houston, Stevie Nicks, Aerosmith, R. Kelly, and quite a few others can wait a couple of years and still have a place in the business. Lauryn Hill is a good example of one of the new artists of this generation that will cross over to these lines. She's been gone for a couple of years, but I would bet money when she releases another album it sales will show she hasn't lost her place. Can Nysnc do the same? Of all the teen MTV pop acts I say Blink 182, Christina, and Destiny's Child may have staying power, but they have the heavy anchor of being lumped into this catagory to cut off, and it won't be easy. Only time will tell who survives when this pop fad ends and yes it will end for most of these artists as new ones rise and take their place over the next few years.

    MTV pushed its own movie

    by bulldish

    How many nominations did that Save the Last Dance movie get? It was awful. The only reason it was nominated was because it was a MTV picture. And it even won a couple of times. MTV should win the best Smoke and mirrors Award. Internet voters must have missed the movie and just went by the trailer MTV showed constantly. One good thing did come of it though, I was under the impression the chic from traffic and the chic from Save The Last Dance were the same till I saw them together

    Jay! is a fucking retard!

    by bodman23

    Alright, Jay!, you are an idiot, and im going to go point by point and tell you why. First off, actually i hate julia roberts too, so ill skip that one. However, Jimmy Fallon does nothing but impressions, so i dont see how you can comment on anything else, unless you mean the weekend update, in which case all i can say is that while he's no Norm, he's certainly better than Quinn. Kirsten's hair looks better short. Gladiator was a good flick, it was just overrated. Adam sandler clearly isn't hilarious all the time -- did you see Big Daddy? Weezer rocks like no fucking other, puffy isnt in jail because he's rich, same as OJ, pink is a chick who looks good with that wig, ben stiller is funny, i'll agree, but Jim Carrey is probably the most gifted man in hollywood right now, be it drama or comedy. Also, you hate star trek, but you're looking forward to lord of the rings? So are you a nerd or not? DMB sucks major ass sweat, you're right on that one. Halle and Stiles also can't act, but stiles isn't any hotter than bruce vilanch, and I'm a straight man. Now the Russell Crowe comment, thats where i really take offense. Have you seen LA Confidential? Or how about The Insider? He is a good actor, despite how nearsighted you may be. Also, Cheri O'Teri and Molly Shannon were quite possibly the worst things to happen to SNL in the history of the show. Let's be honest, they made me want to stick myself in the eyes with sewing needles. Their definition of entertainment was shared by masochists the world over. Also, people call erika christensen a julia stiles lookalike because julia was on the scene first, not because of talent. New tool is good, but the new Weezer CD is the best cd to come out this year, and possibly last year, too. Also, to everyone else, Sifl n Olly was a great show, what is going on with that? Sorry, Jay!, but you deserve a front row seat to the next Baha Men show. Moron.

    muthafacka for what?

    by buckleygal

    Okay, I have started to dislike MTV as much as the majority of the people whose comments I have browsed. But I had to watch to see Jimmy Fallon. Though he may be a "chick comic" in some ways, he does the best impressions that I have seen. And I'm not the only one who thinks he is going to just get bigger; Chevy Chase says he's his favorite new comic for one. Just because Jimmy is young, attractive, and modest doesn't mean that some people only like him for cuddly appeal.
    I, for one, LOVED "Original Kings of Comedy", especially Bernie Mac (HIM downstairs). So there. It is possible to have a wide array of comedic intrests, just like you can have a wide array of musical ones. Anyone who pigeonholes themselves to one style is being close minded (in my humble opinion).

    Highlights and lowlights....

    by darkman

    Highlights: "The Mummy Returns" parody, Shannon Elizabeth: winner of the award for best on-stage duo and Adam Sandler & Britney Spears vs. Jimmy Fallon & Kirsten Dunst.
    Lowlights: Just about everything else, particularly Will Ferrell pissing his pants (and just when I was starting to like the guy), Cameron Diaz for Best Dance Sequence (shaking your ass in a pair of Under-roos?! If that's a dance sequence, I'm the Pope of Chilitown) and the award for Male Breakthrough Performance (I swear to God, someone bought that vote; it shoulda went to Hugh Jackman).

    my two cents

    by grail42

    Okay everyone, though no one asked for it, here's my opinion. I, personally, did NOT see the MTV movie awards, and probably will continue to not see them. I havn't watched MTV since they did the last AlTV, however, I do feel compelled to point out that, save Steve Martin's performance at the oscars, awards shows are mostly, plodding, dull, and generally a waste of my time. Though that's just because there are not enough people in the world who watch the Tony's. A couple of comments. The "Moulin Rouge song" is an accurate name for that song...that was NOT Lady Marmalade. It was some bastardized POS that was put together to get people to go see the movie. The best thing about that song is that in the actual movie, it's lost among at least two other songs that are playing at the same time, and are actually fairly enjoyable. As for why pink looks "off"; she started off as a gymnast, she still has the build, nuff said. Long story short, if snoop dog was the high point of the show, I'm glad I missed it, though I do regret missing DMB. Oh well, I'll make it up this summer. For the smart guy who mentioned TMBG as one of the best bands ever...Mink Car comes out in september!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
