Re: The new "Frat Pack" in Hollywood

I loved Meet The Parents.

Re: The new "Frat Pack" in Hollywood

Shanghai Noon
Old School
The Royal Tenenbaums
The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou
Idiocracy
Bottle Rocket

I think both brothers are great, and funny.

How could leave out "Cars"?

Haha......"Speed ..... I am Speed"

Re: The new "Frat Pack" in Hollywood

WHAT!!!!!!!!!!!!! The first time i saw Meet the Parents, i cause damn was it funny. Without a doubt the funniest movie i've ever seen next to Wedding Crashers again.

I mean seriously, the "i milked my cat" "You can milk anythihg with nipples" was priceless. The Volley Ball serve to the girl's face was funny as well. And who can forget the bomb song in the airplane. I found it definetly worth wild.

After that, not too many other movie that were super funny. I never really thought i could find a movie funny as Meet The Parents until i watched Wedding Crashers, but thats not something you can watch with your parents or your 13 year old brother

"There's Something About Mary" is a hundred times better than Meet the Parents.

Wild guess:

You're a teenager and half of your "favorite movies list" were made before 1970 and at least a third are foreign?

I'm 19, All of my favorite movies are made post 1980

Bourne Identity
Forrest Gump
Donnie Darko
Sandlot
Major League
Shawshawk Redemption
Ghosterbusters
Ace Ventura

just to name a few.

And I have only seen one foreign film in my entire life.


I just don't find jokes about poop to be funny. The art of the comedies I have listed above was that the premise and the characters made them hilarious (Major League, Forrest Gump: All Character Humor, Ghostbusters/Ace Ventura: Premise and Characters)....There are no jokes about poop in any of them and with the exception of the lockerroom scene in Major League none of them use the f-word in their jokes.

Not sure where the idea that using the f-word as a comma is funny came from, but it ruins a lot of movies: Cases in point: "The Departed", "Resevoir Dogs" etc.

It is as though the writers have stopped putting effort into being funny and have decided to try to be as dirty and ambiguously homosexual as possible to be funny.

Agreed.

No! No, no, not 6! I said 7. Nobody's comin' up with 6. Who works out in 6 minutes? You won't even get your heart goin, not even a mouse on a wheel.

Re: The new "Frat Pack" in Hollywood

There is no Wedding Crashers without Owen. He was just as much a part of that movie as Vaughn. How you can disagree with that is simply beyond me.

My previous posts were pretty stupid when I think about it though. Owen was a big part of Wedding Crashers, I have to give him his props. The thing is I've never thought of Owen or Luke as lead actors. I haven't seen any of the movies trobinson listed, besides Old School. I'll have to check some out. How could I forget about Old School? Thanks ndeezlo. I guess agree to disagree.

Better, but not that much better. I thought Matt Dillion was the gem in There's Something About Mary.

Props to you for "re analyzing" and sorry about the "ridiculous" assessment to your original opinion. I think there is truth in what you say about the Wilsons, but both will be major players (particularly Owen) for years to come.

Then nevermind and I respect your opinion.

The way I read your original post, I thought you were one of those IMDB guys who always are ready to tell you their top 20 films, half of which they've never seen.

Re: The new "Frat Pack" in Hollywood

IMDB film fans are awful. Less like fans, and more like snobs...

But Old School is great and was what really got things started for the original frat pack IMO... Well maybe Zoolander was the first, but Old School started the rush of movies they put out.

Re: The new "Frat Pack" in Hollywood

Ridiculous-Wilson's comedic talent is unique in it's own right and Shanghai Noon and The Wedding Crashers don't get off the ground without him.

I think Owens does great in Zoolander. I like him and Vince he is just funny. When he was playing that kid in Madden online was classic. I forgot the films name, but that was some funny stuff!

Ace Ventura? You've got to be kidding me!

While it may be short on scatalogical jokes, I'm sure a guy pretending to talk out of his ***hole is somewhere in the ballpark.

No hard feelings. I think you're right about Owen though. He's becoming a huge star.

That was the Break Up. Man, **** talkin' he gave that kid online and his ex's date wen he came over was priceless.

Off-topic...but what?!

F-bomb ruining The Departed/Resevoir Dogs? These are gritty dramas, not after-school specials. And I know several people in my life (one from Boston) who uses the f-word as much as the characters in The Departed.

What the **** is your problem with ****?
