Bring it on was a great movie directed by a buffoon. All the pacing was off and the occasionally brilliant one-liners were outlined in bold and delivered with exactly the wrong deliberateness. That said, it must be applauded for doing what so few teen movies based in generic white California do–addressing race and class openly. Also it has finally made the point that cheerleading is NOT regressive and sexist. Cheerleading has nothing to do with girls supporting boys. It’s about gymnastics, dancing, wearing short skirts, screaming, and show biz. Oh, and plot necessities aside, the Toros routine was better than the Clovers.

There is so much about this post that is just wrong. Except for the cricket, princess bride and hellsing bits. They sound accurate. Clearly the heat and deadlines are getting to your judgement. I mean, really.. bring it on?! That’s your pick? *sigh*

@dess: Mangosteens are not mangos. They’re both fruits, but the naming is just a coincidence. Mangosteens have a slightly more tart taste, although both are quite sweet. Mangosteens are a bit smaller and much darker (purple, almost) in color when ripe. Mmm… now I want a mangosteen or a mango.

Hah, finally! Aside from my wife and I, you are the only other person I’ve ever known to say zombies are the best monster… Some people just don’t get it Especially those ‘pire-fiends, they won’t listen to reason! Brains are better than blood; it’s higher in essential vitamins and minerals.

i LOVE all the movies in the “bring it on” “series.” they are my guilty pleasure. If they are on TV, i must watch. my husband thinks it’s funny. The princess bride is another one. It is one of the best movies ever created, for children and adults.
