I watched Stomp The Yard the other night and it wasn't too bad. I think it made me regret not joining a black social frat at USC. Back in the day I was too busy being an Uncle Tom to even consider it, but now I REALLY wish I had. Anyhow, the movie has the EXACT same plot of Drumline, just replace the marching band with a step team. I would that that SOMEWHERE during production someone would have said, "Ya' know...this movie is EXACTLY the same as Drumline!". They even have the contest at the end that ends in a lame tie...blah blah blah, you can guess what happens.
It was funny because during the movies all the actors were all hardcore and I almost got a vibe that they could actually be members of a frat...that was until I saw the special features on the DVD and found out that in reality all those hardcore frat guys were EXTREMELY effeminate. They were all proffessional dancers rambling on about choreography and whatnot in their girly softspoken voices...yeah, it was "interesting". but they must be really good actors because they had my completely fooled during the movie...
I'm still yet to stumble upon the underground world of inner-city highly choreographed dance battles...yet they keep making movies about it like it's some kind of epedemic.
On a somewhat lighter note, since the cable went out in my bedroom at the beginning of the summer I've been watching the same TWO movies over and over again; The 40 Year old Virgin and Employee of the Month. I can watch the 40 Year Old Virgin(aka 19 year old Gordon, it's pretty eerie actually!!!)a million times and laugh every time...but EotM, ehhh...not so much. I watched it last night the with Dane Cook's and the directors commentary on, and it was funny because they were talking about the movie and laughing like it was 7 times funnier than it actually was. They'd talk about how funny a scene was and home much of comedic geniuses all the actors were...but in reality, it just wasn't that funny at all, in fact it was kinda lame...and that ironically made the commentary 7 times funnier than the actual movie.
