Massawyrm Fondles SHE'S THE MAN!!

We are regrssing as a society. by I Dunno	Mar 18th, 2006 05:17:23 PM
No, I'm not going to go on an elitist diatribe about how movies are getting dumber. This is more important. The 1980's equivalent of this film, "Just One of the Guys" was a PG-13 and had boobies. This one, I'm guessing, does not. Did we lose a war?
This review should not exist... by Angry Mean Panda	Mar 18th, 2006 05:18:13 PM
One of the site's worst reviewers reviewing a movie that's already out and no one on Earth gives a shit about. This should not be here.
regrEssing too. by I Dunno	Mar 18th, 2006 05:18:25 PM

I wouldn't mind hitting Bynes and making her squeal. by themikejonas	Mar 18th, 2006 05:30:52 PM

Not that this site is renowned for good reviews, by indiephantom	Mar 18th, 2006 05:31:06 PM
but I totally agree, this shouldn't be on here.
I Heart Amanda by BannedOnTheRun	Mar 18th, 2006 05:37:38 PM
I used to watch The Amanda Show on Nick with my daughter, and the girl is funny. P.S. Hey Merrick, sorry about your great-grandfather. Tragic.
We get a review for this and not the new Lumet? by zikade zarathos	Mar 18th, 2006 05:57:59 PM
Get yer priorities straight!
BANNED by Joseph Merrick	Mar 18th, 2006 06:04:52 PM
Thank you. It's a huge, oddly shaped shadow to live beneath...

why don't you see it and contribute? or you can just bitch...
PLANT! by DAfRk3iN	Mar 18th, 2006 06:50:58 PM
DanL here. I wrote another review of the movie, and it was posted on the site a few days ago. Like you said, the movie is very entertaining. But, unfortunately, anyone that likes it is a plant. I'm sorry. PLANT!
Clearly a PLANT by Doc_McCoy	Mar 18th, 2006 07:07:57 PM
I just lost any respect I might have had for Massawyrm.
I may not always agree with Massawyrm, by The Pusher	Mar 18th, 2006 07:19:57 PM
But one thing's always constant: I always get a kick out of reading his reviews. The Pride & Prejudice review? Genius. AICN should seriously consider cobbling together a book of their "greatest hits" of film reviews. It would at least make $20. I'd buy it.
Massawyrm is a good reviewer .... by Snuffles	Mar 18th, 2006 07:21:08 PM
... I mean, how can you get me to read an entire review about a movie I would normally have no interest in seeing, and still don't, really? I expect someday I'll rent "10 things" and "She's the Man" from the library someday, because of Massawyrm, and then curse him, just as I did when I saw Aeon Flux.
I thought Ella Enchanted was very good by Demosthenes2	Mar 18th, 2006 07:44:34 PM
and I don't see how anyone with a dirty secret passion for cheesy teenybopper girly movies could be left unsatisfied. Granted the production design was pretty tacky and threatened to poison our eyes, but the acting led impeccably by Anne Hathaway saved the director's yicky cotton candy vision.
Dickheads... by UncleEthan	Mar 18th, 2006 08:01:09 PM
If you even read this review (I like the guys writing, by the way) you wanted to find out one of two things. A. Are there jailbait tits in the movie. B. You like movies like this the same way I do and many other people who remain quiet about it. It's like how European scooters are actually fun to ride. Then theres that fat chick in college you used to fuck every night you got wasted, unlucky, and just wanted to suck on some really big titties. I myself have a soft spot for the one with the chick from Sabrina the Teenage Witch and anything with Lacey Chalbert in it. That said- you guys look for the teenage tits...don't they have websites and support groups for that sort of thing?
Snuffles: by Roxxor McOwnage	Mar 18th, 2006 10:20:08 PM
Be carefull watching "10 things" and "She's the Man" because if you don't like them, Massawyrm is likely to punch you in the face. San Diemos Highshool Football Rules!
Merrick by PantherMatt	Mar 18th, 2006 10:26:56 PM
Okay, first things first: Merrick, welcome aboard. So far, I like your style. Second things second: Good Lord, Merrick! What did they do? All take vacation at the same time and leave you with the keys? That's quite a lot of responsibility they heaped on you, right out of the gate. Kudos for handling it. Third things third: I am actually quite glad this review is here. I actually have the ability to not click links that lead to reviews of stuff that don't interest me (Dr. Who, reviews of Anime, reviews of collectable figurines, etc.) but as an actor who has done his share of Shakespeare, AND a fan of David Cross, this flick (NOT a "film") acually interests me. And thanks Massawyrm, for having the cajones to admit to liking it. Fourth things fourth: Like I said, I'm a fan of David Cross, and he's in the Godd@mn thing (and the closest relation to traditional "Cool News" in the movie), so would someone tell me if he gets a decent amount of screen time and laughs? Thanks.
I am 39 and in a trenchcoat by quentintarantado	Mar 18th, 2006 11:15:53 PM
Tag lines? As in A.K.A.'s? Soo-doe-nims? Isn't Merrick cool enough, I mean, he's the Elephant Man, and Michael Jackson tried to buy his bones (probably to jump on them), therefore, you took the name of a man, a dead man whose bones Michael Jackson finds sexy. Think about it. I also like Massawyrm's review of a movie I'd watch on cable if I had no choice. He has a predisposition for these things. I have a brother who reviews movies, he specializes in Asian indies, especially indies made in my country, the Philippines, and is predisposed to dump on big-budget studio flicks,yet he's inexplicably kind to any turd Nastassja Kinski stars in (mostly turds except for Polanski's Tess). Every man has an Achilles Heel, and in their POV, it makes them look good.

Liking these "guilty pleasures" is sort of like.... by IndustryKiller	Mar 19th, 2006 01:42:25 AM
the cinematic equivalent of sexual interest in children. Just because you can't help it and you admit it, doesn't mean you shouldn't be shot for it.

Actually... by Anton_Sirius	Mar 19th, 2006 02:16:20 PM
Amanda Bynes is a seasoned pro. If she can't do a proper pratfall by now, she's hopeless. And Ella Enchanted is the film where I finally figured out what the appeal of Anne Hathaway was, so it couldn't have been that bad... I am, however, sadly disappointed that no one has mentioned Bring It On yet, which is still the best Guilty Pleasure flick since, well, Clueless anyway. Now if only someone would revive the Gaggle of Starlets genre, we'd be all set. We haven't had one since The Craft! We're overdue!
PANTHERMATT by Joseph Merrick	Mar 19th, 2006 03:53:44 PM
1)Thank you...very much. 2) Not a vacation, SXSW. And, again, thank you. Very much appreciated. 3) I thought the review should be here, too. I know Massawyrm, and he's a man of sincerity and conviction...which I really appreciate, even if I don't always agree.
Why so hostile about the guilty pleasure flicks? by Terry_1978	Mar 19th, 2006 06:59:51 PM
There's something much more deep rooted and sinister there if you're getting that angry about guys enjoying these types of flicks. Perhaps you secretly are what you hate.
two words is all i need ... by nolan bautista	Mar 19th, 2006 09:50:05 PM
Amanda Bynes/Bukkake..having typed these 2 words i must now beat my meat..
Forgive me, I'm new here. Who is Merrick? by Cotton McKnight	Mar 20th, 2006 12:55:54 AM
Never heard of that contributor before. About the movie- saw it today and it's funny. Amanda Bynes is a really funny girl. I saw her on Carson Daly's show the other day when she mentioned that she did a couple of summer projects with comedians like Richard Pryor at one of those famous comedy things in LA (the one Pauly Shore's mom owns). For the love of all that is good and holy in this world though, I do NOT understand why that idiot Carson Daly has a show. That would have been a cool story to talk about, but Daly looked like his mind was twirling, trying to read the next question on his stupid little list. The guy has NO talent.
I liked it better when it was Just One of the Guys by Hate_Speech	Mar 20th, 2006 08:04:49 AM

What's the name of that 10 things flick you mentioned? by AARONIUS	Mar 20th, 2006 01:27:56 PM
Seriously, could you have mentioned it a few more times? Sheesh! And now for my first oral report entitled 10 things I hate about you. When I began writing my report 10 things I hate about you I thought, what should I include in my report about the 10 things I hate about you? Should 10 things I hate about you be a dramatic report? Or should the subject of 10 things I hate about you be comedic? Also, how many times should I mention the title 10 things I hate about you? We don't want to go into overkill with 10 things I hate about you right? etc,etc,etc.......of course I'm kidding. I realize you probably don't want to hear writing advice from a guy who never got any higher than a B in english.
The Shaggy Dog was fucking RETARDED by El Scorcho	Mar 20th, 2006 05:20:36 PM
And I went to see it because of Massawyrm's review. Shame on me. I'm sorry, I just can't take any more of his reviews to heart.
by foreignerbelt	Mar 20th, 2006 08:37:45 PM
Massawyrm=best reviewer on the site, and closest to my own delicate sensibilities. and I'm fucking awesome. so. you KNOW he's good.
to panthermatt by haku8645	Mar 21st, 2006 02:00:02 AM
I saw the film yesterday and David Cross gets pretty adequate screen time. He's only in a few scenes, really four big ones that I can think of, but he's there for several minutes in each one. The funniest is probably the end in the middle of a football game when he comes running onto the field to try and announce the big secret and expose her as a man. Yeah I just gave that away but no one really cares. But for what it's worth, it actually is a very enjoyable movie. It's not constantly hilarious but Amanda Bynes has got great physical humour. There's actually a great scene with David when the geeky kid that figures out the secret comes to him to try to expose it, and David says something along the lines of 'that's ridiculous', you know, he doesn't believe it, and Amanda Bynes walks by dressed as the boy on her phone telling her mother how she won't wear a certain dress to the debutante ball. David's reaction is really hilarious. And don't worry, the plot is really predictable so I gave nothing away.
calling Amanda Bynes "talented"... by beamish13	Mar 21st, 2006 03:50:07 PM
Is like saying that Creed can carry on a good tune or that Harrison Ford is ageing very well.
