I was expecting to see a 'yes' or a 'no'... by ingloriousjedi	Jul 22nd, 2008 05:37:03 AM
To the answer of your question. You couldn't take that step could you. EPIC FAIL BEAKS.

The average Joe Moviefan in the talkbacks is not going to be getting seats for back to back to back to back sneak previews for movies. Either this guy is a plant +1 or he's just better at reading empire onilne and rotten tomatoes than you are. Stop accepting 'sneak previews' from people who are clearly not actually present for any sneaking. Any review whose biggest complaint about a movie is that the rock concert wasn't live is obviously a shill, and you should know better than to post it. What kind of IDIOT expects an in-movie rock concert to be taped live? seriously? Oh wait I know - AN IDIOT.
Every other line in that review is one word. by tonagan	Jul 22nd, 2008 10:48:00 AM
Is anyone else seeing that formatting problem? It makes the review twice as long as it has to be.
I'd like it to be funny by aversiontherapy2	Jul 22nd, 2008 10:55:50 AM

but it just doesn't look funny.

I didn't expect it to be recorded live - I expected the audio to be mixed well so that it was at least possible to believe that the music was being made by the people on the screen and not different people in a studio. It shouldn't be as apparent as it is in this movie. Idiot.
Also, they gave out free T-shirts by Jubba	Jul 22nd, 2008 11:19:31 AM
Everyone at the screening got free a T-shirt that says "I ONLY DRUM NAKED" with a picture of a naked drummer on it. That was kind of cool.
The people who REALLY didn't like it.... by Jubba	Jul 22nd, 2008 11:29:43 AM
were people who had come for another Tropic Thunder screening and got turned away because that show was already at capacity. The Rocker was a pretty lame consolation prize even with the free swag.
Things "going to 11" is played WAY the fuck out. by Galactic	Jul 22nd, 2008 11:57:22 AM
I wanna bang Emma Stone. To the 11th power.
Emma Stone will become the next Lindsay Lohan by Galactic	Jul 22nd, 2008 11:59:42 AM
I'm calling it. She's hot now, but fame will turn her into a crack-whore soon enough.
Rainn Wilson is incredibly grating by beamish13	Jul 22nd, 2008 12:15:50 PM
He seems to thrive on cameras being on him continually, despite the fact that he can't really improvise material
Great thing with "School of Rock," by Yaw	Jul 22nd, 2008 06:40:48 PM
the music wasn't kitsch. Just good. This movie looks kitsch. But "the Full Monty" is pretty wonderful.
Ugh by ventvox	Jul 23rd, 2008 08:03:52 AM
I saw this movie last week on a free preview. It sucked hard. I think this is the only movie that I have ever walked out of besides the Davinci Code. There are plenty of pedophile moments with the teens and ol' Rainn Wilson
ventvox by Jubba	Jul 23rd, 2008 01:47:58 PM
pedophile moments? what the hell? he never even seems interested in them or younger fans..he has interest in the older groupies and the parents...did you walk out before the movie began?

I saw this film last month at the Edinburgh Film fest. It was the 'mystery movie' on the wed night and Peter Cattaneo was in attendance (no Q&A unsurprisingly ). You know what, I liked it. Sure it would have been better R but they bottled it and settled for PG13 and hey I found it an Inoffensive, mainly funny, movie, albeit with a tendency for smaltz. Once you accept that it's not this years smash super-comedy and go with it, it's a cool little flick.

I walked out an hour into this movie. It was unbearable, stale sitcomish jokes, just pure shit. The pedophile moment was when Rainn Wilson and Teddy Geiger were singing to each other in his car. fucking creepy.
