I wouldn't quite place this movie in my  "Guilty Pleasure" category, but it is watchable and funny at times. It's kind of the "Wayne's World" of chick band flicks.

Quote from: StefenIt's not my fault you guys have horrible taste in women. She has big teeth and ugly lips, also she has a fivehead.

What's a fivehead?


Anyway, she's gotta great rack, you can't deny that.
Those who say that the totalitarian state of the Soviet Union was not "real" Marxism also cannot admit that one simple feature of Marxism makes totalitarianism necessary:  the rejection of civil society. Since civil society is the sphere of private activity, its abolition and replacement by political society means that nothing private remains. That is already the essence of totalitarianism; and the moralistic practice of the trendy Left, which regards everything as political and sometimes reveals its hostility to free speech, does nothing to contradict this implication.

When those who hated capital and consumption (and Jews) in the 20th century murdered some hundred million people, and the poster children for the struggle against international capitalism and America are now fanatical Islamic terrorists, this puts recent enthusiasts in an awkward position. Most of them are too dense and shameless to appreciate it, and far too many are taken in by the moralistic and paternalistic rhetoric of the Left.

yes!!!  i'm glad to see that someone finally appreciates JOSIE AND THE PUSSYCATS as mush as i do.  (i'm serious)  this is current #9 on my all time top ten favorite films.  i love the visual style and i love the actual comedy of this film.  it's very smart for a teen movie and it gets no credit because its JOSIE AND THE PUSSYCATS but i love it.  the music makes me laugh and i very much enjoy it!  brilliant!  brilliant!  brilliant!

i actually discussed this film in one of my film class and very pretentious film snob gave me shit.  (which is funny because everyone that knows me considers me a film snob too.)  although i did convince some people that it was a lot better than they originally thought, i still got a lot of shit.  i love it!

Halle Berry's black?!  :shock:

Well, I guess it is Wednesday.
Yes, to dance beneath the diamond sky with one hand waving free, silhouetted by the sea, circled by the circus sands, with all memory and fate driven deep beneath the waves, let me forget about today until tomorrow.

rosario's got a banging body, plump lips, tall nose, and big dancing eyes.  That constitutes as hot in my book.

Leave it to pete to prove himself time and time again to be the radio of the board.
Falling in love is the greatest joy in life. Followed closely by sneaking into a gated community late at night and firing a gun into the air.

and with that comment, I think it's safe to say that you're the Gold Trumpet of name-calling.
