...and yet millions of people buy Britney, Justin, and Ja Rule albums. Go figure.

I doubt you will ever find a movie that is universally loved by everybody, regardless of how good the movie is. Just ask Electric Amish.

Robin Williams is a great actor, I don't care what people say about him or his hyperactive personality.

It starts out really nice, almost like a geek fantasy come true. Then it got a little slow and boring.

Ugh, those socks! *shiver*

I liked the movie, but I didn't think it was groundbreaking or anything.

Yeah, Ja Rule, there's a heap of talent.

My respect for Timberlake is slowly rising, albeit reluctantly.

IMDB user rankings are skewed. After all, the top 10 rated movies of all time include the first two parts of the Lord of the Rings trilogy (and I expect Return of the King to crack the top ten within a month) and Star Wars.

Detestably the 4th (?) post in that link is written by somebody who hated it, and yet underneath his name it says "The OC". His use of phoney and love for a stupid show like the OC makes me wonder if he's been reading too much catcher in the rye.

I dont see that many bad comments about the movie on that page, personally I liked it enough to go out and purchase it. I looked at Old School page and couldn't believe the number of people hating it "waste of two hours" and so on, I thought it was one of the funniest films since American Pie (Frank the tank is a legend). Just goes to show not everyone can like the samething.

and if you read his other reviews, you'll notice he only really cared about a movie from 1978, and found that Tango & Cash was somehow a good movie.

I just didnt see the greatness of it. Very predictable and just felt like ive seen most of it in other movies. Im not knocking it its just how I felt. I wasnt inspired or anything. I know you can say this about most movies due to the fact originality is near impossible these days but it was watchable. For me its a, seen it once, thats enough.

Pretty good flick, if a bit long. I liked the speech Matt Damon gave to the guys interviewing him for an NSA job.

"Why shouldn't I work for the N.S.A.? That's a tough one, but I'll give it a shot. Say I'm working at N.S.A. Somebody puts a code on my desk, something nobody else can break. So I take a shot at it and maybe I break it. And I'm real happy with myself, 'cause I did my job well. But maybe that code was the location of some rebel army in North Africa or the Middle East. Once they have that location, they bomb the village where the rebels were hiding and fifteen hundred people I never had a problem with get killed.

Now the politicians are sayin', "Send in the marines to secure the area" 'cause they don't give a sh!t. It won't be their kid over there, gettin' shot. Just like it wasn't them when their number was called, 'cause they were pullin' a tour in the National Guard. It'll be some guy from Southie takin' shrapnel in the ass. And he comes home to find that the plant he used to work at got exported to the country he just got back from. And the guy who put the shrapnel in his ass got his old job, 'cause he'll work for fifteen cents a day and no bathroom breaks.

Meanwhile my buddy from Southie realizes the only reason he was over there was so we could install a government that would sell us oil at a good price. And of course the oil companies used the skirmish to scare up oil prices so they could turn a quick buck. A cute little ancillary benefit for them but it ain't helping my buddy at two-fifty a gallon. And naturally they're takin' their sweet time bringin' the oil back, and maybe even took the liberty of hiring an alcoholic skipper who likes to drink martinis and play slalom with the icebergs, and it ain't too long 'til he hits one, spills the oil and kills all the sea life in the North Atlantic.

So my buddy's out of work and he can't afford to drive, so he's got to walk to the job interviews, which sucks 'cause the shrapnel in his ass is givin' him chronic hemorrhoids. And meanwhile he's starvin' 'cause every time he tries to get a bite to eat the only blue plate special they're servin' is North Atlantic scrod with Quaker State. So what do I think? I'm holdin' out for somethin' better.

Why not just shoot my buddy, take his job and give it to his sworn enemy, hike up gas prices, bomb a village, club a baby seal, hit the hash pipe and join the National Guard? I could be elected president."
