Miss Joan Benater & Pat Jett reveal SCARY MOVIE 2 warts and all

Gee, what a review... by Roguewriter	Jun 6th, 2001 05:08:49 AM
"Some STUFF happens, and you won't believe it! And then some MORE stuff happens, holy crap! And wow, then they throw in some more STUFF!!" OK, the other half of my split personality must now write for a bit... "SPERM SPERM SPERM SPERM SPERM!! OH, AND RAPE IS GOOD NUFF SAID SEEYA." ....... Harry, I know people give you a lot of shit about your grammar and spelling, but at least your reviews have heart, depth and coherence. Maybe you could leave these illiterate pothead teen ramblings by the wayside, hmmmm? God knows somebody should do the same for these lame-ass movies... ;)
Sigh by Glynyfaron	Jun 6th, 2001 05:12:40 AM
I was going to slag this movie off but now I realise I can't be bothered. The fact the public now appear to be pissed bored with 'gross-out comedies' is probably a good thing. Strange this is the other day I ran into Tom Green and threw a cup of my boyfriend's semen over him and he didn't seem to find it funny at all.
Audiences laughing don't mean shit! by BigTuna	Jun 6th, 2001 05:25:09 AM
My gf drug me to " Big Daddy" a couple of years ago. Everyone in the audience was laughing their ass off and I was just sitting there saying " WTF" ? It was the biggest piece of shit i've ever seen! I didn't laugh once so I don't trust audiences full of stupid teenage boys!
I think they screwed up somewhere... by kid_ego	Jun 6th, 2001 05:43:18 AM
Whoever wrote this interview lost track of who was talking. I though Joan Benater (learn to spell you moron) was telling the whole negative part, but then "she" says that Joan would like to say a few words....If you're gonna write a crappy review with a pretty stupid spin on it, at least keep the continuity up......not that we'll even expect that from the movie "she" talked about.

WTF? They need to start showing vagina and smegma onscreen too.
Male nudity in movies by Shalamar	Jun 6th, 2001 06:31:54 AM
Didja ever notice that male nudity in movies is mostly played for laughs or to get a "Whoah! What the hell was THAT?" reaction from the audience? I'm thinking in particular of the "I KNOW!" Polaroid photo from the first "Scary Movie", and the full-frontal shot of Kevin Bacon in the shower in "Wild Things". Dunno if I"m going to see this movie, but it was kinda fun to read a review that balances out all those "We get to see Halle Berry nekkid in 'Swordfish', heh-heh-heh" comments.

Hey C, Can't sleep? Lay down somewhere comfy and in front od a TV. Pop in A winner like Deep Impact and I assure you'll be in OUT before you know what hit you, that is if you haven't gotten naseaus first.
Joan Jett and Pat Benatar? by The Man With...	Jun 6th, 2001 06:52:50 AM
All due respect to Joan Jett and the Blackhearts, who will always hold a special place in my heart, but no respect for your nicknames ladies. 'Lets just take them and switch them up!' Ya, real original.
I'M GOING by Brooklyn Bred	Jun 6th, 2001 07:05:34 AM
SOUNDS BETTER THAN SILENT BOB AND JAY'S MOVIE AND PEARL HARBOR PUT TOGETHER
Sounds craptacular by Projectordust	Jun 6th, 2001 07:52:56 AM
Ah, Fourth of July... picnics, fireworks, and dick and fart jokes... what a country!
What about Beetlejuice? by Some Dude	Jun 6th, 2001 08:34:23 AM
How are his scenes? This film could be the stinkiest pile ever, but I'm going just as long as the Juice-man is right on top... Oh, and I can't believe that any of you think this writer is actually a woman... The poster above is correct about the historical correlation between on-screen male nudity and comedy. However, even when it is not intentionally used for comedy male nudity usually provokes laughter. Perhaps this is due to a mixture of shock, uncomfortability, repressed feelings of inadequacy, shame, desire, homophobia, etc. Whatever it is, I think it's time we got over that. It's just a body part. Butts, on the other hand, are friggin' hilarious. They make poop AND farts!
Scary Movie 1 was terrible by Miss Aura	Jun 6th, 2001 08:50:03 AM
I hope this movie is nothing like Scary Movie 1, it was the most predictable shit I have ever seen. The Wayans Brothers should stick to stuff like "I'm gonna get you sucka" which was good. Everyone tries to rip off Airplane for humour and they always fail miserably, its a shame. Nothing will stop it going to #1 though, look whats there at the moment....Now That IS the worst film I have ever seen, Shame on you people for putting it there.
How I long for the day of cleaver horror spoofs like Student Bod by otis von zipper	Jun 6th, 2001 09:24:15 AM
Here's my problem with these spoof movies. They just recreate scenes from other movies. If you haven't seen those movies, then often you are missing the joke. Where's the fun in that? Airplane made fun of a genre in general, and only made a few direct references to specific films. If you had seen just one disaster type film, then you appreciated the humor. Same with Naked Gun. But now everything is just a slapdash of SNL skits with dicks and feces added.
ACTUALLY...(DEBUNKED EDITION) by SEATTLE SLEWW	Jun 6th, 2001 09:39:25 AM
Dude, that was the worst impersonation of a woman ever. Also, it is quite evident that you have latent homo-erotic tendancies and strong dislike for females in general. I suggest either massive amounts of therapy or a sorely needed castration, you big sweaty mess.
What About Legendary Pole Vaulter, David Cross? by mrbeaks	Jun 6th, 2001 09:53:16 AM
On a scale of 1 to 10 -- 1 being least brilliant and 10 being most brilliant -- how does his performance rate?
Sperm, sperm, sperm... by ArchDiver	Jun 6th, 2001 10:12:13 AM
bodily functions and body fluids are funny. Lowbrow films like this are always full of them, from the Naked Gun to just about anything by Mel Brooks. Everyone extolling the virtues of Airplane are idiots. That film pushed the boundaries of its day, just as this franchise is doing. They would have done sperm jokes in Airplane and Blazing Saddles if they could have gotten away with it. If this shit isn't your cup of coffee (a bit nutty, isn't it?) then fucking stay home and eat some hot dogs and watch a DVD you do like. The most important thing in the review was that they laughed their asses off, and I for one plan on dropping my cheeks on the floor as well.
Otis, my man! by Mel Garga	Jun 6th, 2001 10:33:15 AM
Student Bodies rules. As a matter of fact, I recently completed my 5th horse-head bookend. Scary Movie had its moments but shouldn't even be mentioned in the same sentence as Airplane!, much less Airplane II. Over Macho Grande? I don't think I'll ever get over Macho Grande. Those wounds run pretty deep.

Hey, Chris Elliot is in it........ by Elgyn6655321	Jun 6th, 2001 11:04:32 AM
...and it`s nice to see Tim Curry and Andy Richter are getting work. Add James Woods, Natasha Lyonne, and Beetlejuice, and I`m there. And I didn`t even like the first "Scary Movie" -- all the funniest scenes were on the ads.
Without a doubt... by zacdilone	Jun 6th, 2001 11:11:46 AM
...the worst review I have ever read, on this site or any other. Harry, ignore this guy/gal/whatever in the future AT ALL COSTS! This one hurt my brain.
The one funny thing about Scary Movie 1 was... by BigTuna	Jun 6th, 2001 11:13:11 AM
That guy who played Dooley or whatever (the arquette character from Scream) That guy was terrific. I kept waiting for him to come back onscreen for me to enjoy the film again. " NOBODY BOTHER ME WHILE I'M CLEANING MY ROOM!"
the first one was crap... by JoeStokowski	Jun 6th, 2001 11:15:58 AM
but i'm going to see this one just cuz andy richter and david cross are in it. TENACIOUS D are coming to boston in July!!!!
Agree with BigNuta....that guy was the best character in the mov by Patrocknroll	Jun 6th, 2001 11:22:31 AM

Hey, everyone, did you hear that? This film "DEFIANTLY" felt lik by Charles Grady	Jun 6th, 2001 12:21:34 PM
DEFIANTLY????? I think the author meant DEFINITELY. Bad enough half the reviewers and Talk Backers spell it DEFINATELY with an A, but this is just ridiculous. I guess the author had smoked too many MARLBOROUGH lights. Harry, you're getting awfully close to rock bottom by posting such a horridly written review. Couldn't you spell-check or edit before things like this go up???? But I will say this certainly IS a rush job. Wasn't the Brando incident and subsequent hiring of Woods just ONE MONTH AGO????? They were casting a movie in April/May that opens 4th of July???? I know parodies like this are expected to be crass and slapped together, but talk about cutting it close! So basically once they've committed to a big release date like that, we're stuck with whatever movie they can whip up in that short period of time, as opposed to something that was given time to gel. Then again, what would you expect from a "SEQUAL?"
what is with the editing on movies nowadays? by 1stGodling	Jun 6th, 2001 12:28:49 PM
I'm just wondering but why can cock and jizz be shown and only invoke a PG13 or R at the worst but when bush or clit is evident it goes right to the NC17? ohh wait I know, cuz Men are the ones being edited. We lose out guys, cuz the womens can't stand seeing themselves up there onscreen. AND to the ones who posted about balancing out the frevor over halle's berries, it's cuz it is VERY RARE to see a talented actress show some backbone and bare any amount of skin no matter how important to the plot it can be.That's what makes men go nuts over this scene, not just hormones, though they help a little. This is my humble opion. Thank You For Listening To Your 1st And True. remember....G.N.L.S.
Student Bodies rules!!! by KCMOSHer	Jun 6th, 2001 01:13:55 PM
Student Bodies is the best spoof of all time. I did some research and found out the Mickey Rose (writer/director) used to be Woody Allen's writing partner on all his early funny movies. We want Student Bodies on DVD!!! Remember...sometimes Malvert pee red...and don't call me daddy anymore.
YOU'LL DIE LAUGHING !!! by David Manning	Jun 6th, 2001 02:12:58 PM
"SCARY MOVIE 2" IS TO HORROR-MOVIE-PARODIES WHAT "LETHAL WEAPON 2" IS TO ACTION FILMS! THE JOKES AREN'T AS DATED IN "SCARY MOVIE 2" AS THEY ARE IN "SCARY MOVIE", LEAVING A CINEMATIC MASTERPIECE THAT WILL BE ENJOYED BY GENERATIONS TO COME! "THE SOUND OF MUSIC" ON THANKSGIVING? "THE TEN COMMANDMENTS" ON EASTER? NO MORE! "SCARY MOVIE 2" IS LURKING IN THE SHADOWS TO STAB THOSE PRODUCTIONS IN THE BACK!
Disney/Miramax... by JEichstedt	Jun 6th, 2001 02:35:34 PM
I wonder how Mr. Eisner can publicly talk about Disney being a family-friendly company and still keep a straight face at the same time with winners like this. It's all about making money, kids. If only jokers like him would just admit it, I wouldn't hate these films as much as I do. And James Woods just dropped a few levels of coolness because of this.
The review is the perfect example of the people who enjoy these by AtomoPrime	Jun 6th, 2001 02:38:35 PM
They tend to be the lowest common denominator. Uneducated in etiquette and the proper use of language, both written and spoken. They are the product of touchy-feel-good-nothing-is-sa cred-you-don't-have-to-grow-up -SUV-driving post hippie era parents. Taught by an educational system that collapsed during the Clinton/Gore era and blamed on somebody else... They are a studios dream. Boy, I can feel the flames now!

Of gods and berries by Huneybee	Jun 6th, 2001 03:10:48 PM
Hey godling, hate to break it to ya but Halle didn't show any backbone, she showed tits and only after the studio showed her the money...to the tune of half a million dollars. Yeah, that's backbone and in my humble opinion I'm sure she only did it because it was essential. Funny post iamgod and I'm glad I was allowed to read it before it was removed. When I see the empty slot I will think of you. This review SUCKED A BIG ONE!! Oh, I'm sorry, did I just give away one of the "gags" from the movie? Bad, Bad Bee
Where's all this hostility coming from? by 855K Scoville	Jun 6th, 2001 03:18:37 PM
DeVore wrote: " '...THE WEAKEST LINK, SURVIVOR, THE CHANGELING, POLTERGEIST, THE ENTITY THE WEAKEST LINK, SURVIVOR...' Verbatim from the review. Kill me now, if this is how we communicate these days." ... What's so wrong with the reviewer's quoted passage, DeVore? It seems the reviewer forgot a comma after "THE ENTITY". Big deal! And it seems the reviewer repeats "THE WEAKEST LINK, SURVIVOR", presumably to emphasize them. So what's wrong with that? You haters out there need to relax. And if you want to complain, DeVore, at least find something worthy of complaint. There's nothing worse than a snob who can't show anything worth being snobbish about. The reviewers gave useful information and refrained from giving too many spoilers. DeVore showed zero signs of intelligent thought or common sense. Who should be complaining about whom?
and by the way by Huneybee	Jun 6th, 2001 03:21:36 PM
THE FIRST ONE BLEW!!!! And that is no joke! I only laughed(reluctantly) 2-3 time during the entire movie. And not just because I am a girl and don't find those types of jokes funny. Animal House, almost anything with Chevy Chase, There's Something About Mary and many other movies of the same type are very funny to me. I hate to admit it but I AM easily amused and Scary Movie barely even managed to do that, much less make me laugh. I truly loved the Wayan's TV show but this movie is like all those songs on the radio where they remake an earlier song because they are unable to create something original. Fuck it, I don't know why I bother to even read anything about SM except I was bored.
DeVore, I'm sorry for tolerating poor language skills. I'm sorr by 855K Scoville	Jun 6th, 2001 03:46:30 PM

WAHAHAHA!! Man... you GUYS! by Roguewriter	Jun 6th, 2001 04:17:58 PM
TalkBacks like this one are why I keep coming to this site. I've been laughing my ass off for 10 minutes. DeVore, you walk it to him, pal -- sticking up for illiteracy and ignorance instead of demanding higher standards is what's wrong with this whole damned country. And stop swiping my fries, yo.
Worst test-screening report ever by Cugel	Jun 6th, 2001 04:38:23 PM

Hey Pippi, It's okay. I can see what you were up to. Review's okay, guys, leave her alone. The movie sounds, uh....problematic at the very least. (by the way, Pipp, it's "incoherENT")

Hey, I've got a question for ya then. Exactly how much do the stodios pay you for that crap. I could use a little extra mone y myself...
For those of you who had unanswered questions from "Scary Movie by loucyphre	Jun 6th, 2001 08:47:02 PM
Really, Dimmension did a killer job marketing the first film. But beyond that, I have no idea why the film made so much money after the first couple weeks. The film was absolutely horrible. I was not offended, I like a lot of pretty offensive stuff believe me. But I wasn't amused either. I don't think I laughed out loud more than once through the whole thing. The Wayans family seems to be way past their prime. I don't even know if the presence of Natasha Lyonne can get me to this one. And laughter in the audience doesn't mean much. I remember the opening night of "Batman Returns." There was a trailer before the film that just had the rest of the audience in stiches, louder than I ever heard in a theatre before . What was this future blockbuster? "Stay Tuned" - nuff said.
Belching white-trash pinhead chicks play Pauline Kael! by heywood jablomie	Jun 6th, 2001 09:54:10 PM

Bad grammar/diction/spelling is a problem, but the bigger proble by 855K Scoville	Jun 6th, 2001 10:14:21 PM
with is with inexplicable hostility and lack of manners, for example, in the form of road rage, Web rage, etc. Poor language skills are not all that many "13 year olds" exhibit. Poor social skills and quickness to anger are another hallmark. ... All that said, I'm just having fun ribbin' ya, DeVore! In my way, I am just demanding high standards; it's just that I'm demanding it from you, first. With all the glass houses out there, it just makes sense to start with the one owned by the stone-thrower.
a revelation by The Riot	Jun 7th, 2001 03:02:08 AM
It was five.. maybe six minutes ago. I finished reading this "review" and all of the ensuing talkbacks... I just let my mind go blank. I stared at the screen for a while and then..., and that's the moment I knew there was this entire life behind things, and... this incredibly hebetudinous force, that wanted me to know there was no reason to think again, ever. These talkbacks are poor excuses. But they help me remember... and I need to remember... Sometimes there's so much stupidity in the world I feel like I can't take it, like my heart's going to cave in.
Hebetudinous? by Roguewriter	Jun 7th, 2001 04:18:31 AM
Dude, I think that's, like, actually an illegal use of a six-dollar, like, word round these parts. Like. ;)

I find your use of the word; hebetudinous, to be very googlifing
Male vs female naughty bits by Shalamar	Jun 7th, 2001 11:57:08 AM
"... it is VERY RARE to see a talented actress show some backbone and bare any amount of skin no matter how important to the plot it can be." Hey, 1stGodling, it isn't her BACKBONE ... nah. I won't say it. You have a point, though, and a similar point was raised (please ignore all unintended double entendres) in Entertainnment Weekly's website today. Getting a star like Halle Berry to go topless is a big deal - all I'm saying is that it would be rather nice if we occasionally had one or two big-name male stars do likewise, like Kevin Bacon in "Wild Things". I'd buy THAT for a dollar. "I get to see Hugh Jackman nekkid in 'Swordfish', heh-heh-heh."
"See it drunk." That's quite a recommendation. I'll look for i by Smurfette	Jun 8th, 2001 09:34:19 AM

The Wayans Family by BlueFlamingo	Aug 11th, 2001 04:54:44 AM
I must confess I do await Scary Movie 2 with some anticipation. I liked the first one but I prefer "Don't Be A Menace...". Here in England they did some real STOOPID censoring for the Brit release.
