Are you trying to defend this movie on its visual merits? if so there is no need. Libatique dp'ing is aces. It looks pretty. But I don't think it's as bad as everyone says, so if im there on your side if you're defending it. The product placement shit was semi-funny. It is what it is. Rosario Dawson is so ugly though. I can only look at her for so long.

If you weren't defending it, I look like an ass.

Yes.

But I also think it's generally underappreciated. I don't think the cinematography exists in a void. It made the movie. Maybe I was just in a really good mood when I first saw it, but the atmosphere is incredible.

There are flaws. It should have been directed by some one else.

I guess watching with the sound off would make it a better film, otherwise Du Jour was the best part of that film. I really believed Tara Reid was just playing herself.

What Ghostboy said!  Have you not seen 25th Hour or something?

And that is some great cinematography.  Almost makes me want to go out and see the movie.  Almost.

hahahaha..... can't argue with that. ur right, she isn't that great, it's just that white guys fall in love easily with any dark meat that rears its booty. eg. halle berry.

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.

What's a fivehead?


Anyway, she's gotta great rack, you can't deny that.

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!

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

I have a problem with any studio that puts their website on their opening logo.

And it kind of loses that classic feel, doesn't it?
