Transtic Nerve Posted December 9, 2002 Share Posted December 9, 2002 Err right... looks really stupid. Just like those ridiculous movies about cheerleading. What a waste of film. Thats why these type of movies will never win an oscar, they just suck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vegeta rocker Posted December 9, 2002 Share Posted December 9, 2002 Well it looks alright, though it's not my kind of movie. But i have lots of freinds in marching band so im sure ill get dragged to it eventually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omar Harris Posted December 9, 2002 Share Posted December 9, 2002 I wonder what a movie about a marching band is going to be like. I mean, what is there you can do with a marching band? A football squad, yes, but nothing else. The only thing that interests me about it is that Orlando Jones (the original 7-up guy) and Nick Cannon from All That! are the stars.

vegeta rocker Posted December 9, 2002 Share Posted December 9, 2002 Well ask yourself what can you do with a cheerleading movie? They will dig up a plot somewhere. From the preview i guess they get a black guy to redo their march routine to give it an extra edge. Since they do go to pig skin, thats a comp for bands, that is probably the driving force behind the movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amibasuki Posted December 9, 2002 Share Posted December 9, 2002 [FONT=arial]honestly, I really want to go see it. probably cuz I'm into drumlines and such of the like :cross:. I want to see if the actors/people in the 'drumline' actually have a decent amount of talent, or if it's all just cheesy stuff, or lousy 'boogy-band' performances (yeah, there are some decent ones, they're just [i]really[/i] hard to find). there's some extra bits in the movie I'm not too wild about seeing, but I'd probably go see it if I could anyway.[/FONT] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Juu Posted December 10, 2002 Share Posted December 10, 2002 [color=deeppink] [size=1]*sniffles* No one here likes cheerleading much, hmm? *curls up in a corner* I'm not sure if I want to see the movie either, I mean...

Guest gojay #2 Posted December 10, 2002 Share Posted December 10, 2002 [size=1][color=blue]Ever heard the saying, never judge a book by it's cover? To tell you the truth, this movie isn't stupid at all cause if you really think about it, you'll see that never before has a movie been made about black college marching bands, or any band in particular, so this movie is really for the hard working, dedicated band members across the world. *especaily me*[/size][/color]:babble: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nerdsy Posted December 11, 2002 Share Posted December 11, 2002 [QUOTE][i]Originally posted by gojay #2 [/i] [B][size=1][color=blue]or any band in particular, [/B][/QUOTE] [COLOR=deeppink]There have been movies made about bands before. I can't think of the name of the one I'm thinking of, but it was about projects school band or something, and int stared Susan Sarandon, or some other big star that looks like her. Me, I think that this movie will go on my list of "see if forced at gunpoint". The entire story is about a guy with an "atitude" who wants to be part of the band but thinks he's much too good to follow the rules set by the band teacher, and the band teacher ends up integrating him and his "style" into it. And the acting... ug. I saw an extended trialer on something, and I saw utter karp. What does this movie remind me of that movie by the two rappers who go to college?[/COLOR] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least Orlando Jones is in it. He's no stranger to being a good comedic actor in a bad movie (Double Take and Evolution anyone?). If I ever go see this movie, it would probably be due to boredom but you never know, it might be better than you think. Oh and for the guy who said how do you make a movie about cheerleader: All cheerleader movies, both of them, have pretty muched sucked. Bring it on was pretty bad and Sugar and Spice was at least funny at some points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest dudette Posted December 11, 2002 Share Posted December 11, 2002 We read the story about it in the Scope Magazine in English class. It doesn't seem all that bad, but it is not the greatest. I don't think I am going to see it.:smirk: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anna Posted December 19, 2002 Share Posted December 19, 2002 Aight yo, quit dissin on da band movies. lol, j/k. But seriously, I saw it, and it wasn't as bad as I thought it'd be. I actually enjoyed it........ probably 'cause I could relate because I am a snare drummer and in marching band. Our band marches "corps style", and the band in DRUMLINE! is a "dancing band".... two verrrrrry different mediums. I think college dancing bands are the ONLY decent dancing bands out there, because that particular style is so hard to clean--at least it must be, because every dancing band [i]I've[/i] seen in the south looks dirty and sloppy, not to mention the music is horrible. And no direct offence to anyone on here who is in a dancing band.... :toothy: like I said, if it's done right, more power to ya. But anyway, I went into the movie thinking this dancing band in the movie was gonna be all "ghetto" and wouldn't shed ANY truthful light whatsoever on what drumlines (*real* drumlines, or in other words, *good* drumlines) are really about (now that I think about it, I'm surprised they didn't show any weed... >_>). But, they showed just how good drumlines can be, and the movie certainly gave dancing bands out there some points for credit. In the duel between the two drumlines at the end of the movie..................... :wow: GAW I was like, tripping out man! I'd hack of my left knee cap to pull some of that; people who aren't drummers just don't know. And I really liked that they addressed the issue of how a lot of drummers go on through band without ever being able to read music.... it's so true, I've met so many people who play only by ear. Thing is, like the movie shows, there's more to drumming than just beating something; you've gotta "know your craft", and if you can't read music, you're only half a musician. Anyway, this movie isn't bad y'all. If you're not into marching bands or drumming or music, then you probably wouldn't like it, but it's not bad all the same.

[/B][/QUOTE] Dude, get off your high horse and walk with the serfs! :D Obviously you haven't seen Bring It On, or if you have you probably didn't get it. Otherwise you wouldn't be going around dissing ALL cheerleading movies. Its like saying none of the surfing movies have any merit. There's plenty of crap out there sure, but then there's stuff like Blue Crush. Its no masterpiece of cinema but it is engaging, energetic and positive. Not a complete contrivance of candy floss as it may at first appear to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anna Posted December 20, 2002 Share Posted December 20, 2002 You know, cheerleaders don't get the credit they deserve (and I mean [i]real[/i] cheerleaders, the ones who compete.... sorry but I can mimic arms formations and patterns and yell really loud at football games. It's the athletic and acrobatic part of cheerleading I have respect for), and I think Bring It On is a good movie. Of course a lot of the stunts they did in the final competition sequence wouldn't be allowed at highschool level; I forget exactly which, some friends of mine who are cheerleaders were talking to me about it though. Anyway, movies about extracurricular activities shouldn't be automatically written off simply because one does not participate in the activity being featured.

Transtic Nerve Posted December 20, 2002 Share Posted December 20, 2002 Movies are art my friends... and Art doesn't appeal to all people. Thus naturally, me for example, will not think that a movie about drumming, or cheerleading, or whatever would be worth the 7-10 I would pay to sit and waste an hour and a half of my life. Like when I watched Legally Blonde... horrid movie.... Reese Withersppon should have been shot after doing that load of horse sh*t. Just like if I post a picture of an abstract art that is just a big giant blue canvas... nothing else... and all of you say it isn't art... it's the same thing, just with movies. And I don't think that movies about surfing, or cheerleading, or drumming are worth the film they put it on. And just like you, Mnemolth, I can voice my opinion as much as you and I'll be damned if I don't. You're not so low off your horse either. Perhaps you need to look in the mirror and realize it yourself because it seems your the only one who doesn't know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are plenty of movies I don't care to see and never will see because I think they look stupid--fine, no one is disputing that right or anything. All I was saying is that in light this particular movie and movies along the same line of genre, people shouldn't be so quick to write them off, as not all of them are them same, acknowledging some are crap but some are well-done. o_O??

My friend was the one who told me it sucked before I even saw it, but she hadn't seen it either so never mind that. It ok, not something I'd want to buy on DVD or anything, but it wasn't as exciting as I thought it was going to be. My other friend who thought it looked awesome was really dissapointed. Oh well, it was ok but I still though it was kind of lame. No realy point or anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
