The Comedian Posted May 9, 2015 Share Posted May 9, 2015 Bamboozled was kinda like Spike Lee doing a 21st century update of Ellison's Invisible Man. Didn't completely work, but I admired the ambition. Tommy Davidson really stood out to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chaos Posted May 9, 2015 Share Posted May 9, 2015 Hulu sent me an offer for a month free, so I turned it on in order to watch a couple of Criterion selections. I will try to post what I can see in this thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lawful Metal Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 Noah sucked. Some of it was gorgeous, but it was dumb. And the whole subplot that Noah has to kill a baby? Come on, man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reed Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 A high school senior instigates a social pecking order revolution after finding out that she has been labeled the DUFF - Designated Ugly Fat Friend - by her prettier, more popular counterparts. Did the people making the movie notice that the girl playing the "ugly fat friend", well, isn't? Presumably this was produced by the same people who didn't notice that in she's all that the lead actress is clearly a stunning fashion model even before she takes off glasses. C'mon, Reed, she's wearing overalls...she's obviously ugly and fat. Apparently they're rebooting She's All That. I look forward to them putting Selena Gomez or Megan Fox in the lead and everyone in the school treating her like she's Quasimodo because she has a pony tail and wears flannel.

Nice Guy Eddie Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 That's how I felt watching it recently. You sit there and it's like "what the fuck did he just say? Seriously?" For my money the black/white buddy cop thing is done way better in Die Hard With A Vengeance, and they take race on properly. Full disclosure, I cannot have a TV playing and pass by Die Hard With A Vengeance and not stop to watch the whole thing. Die Hard with a Vengeance is awesome and doesn't get nearly enough love. Also, Ludvig Borga is in it for about 15 seconds. Die Hard with a Vengeance has been on a lot lately...and I stop to watch it every time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice Guy Eddie Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 Thoughts about "Duff": 1) What's the veejay Duff up to? 2) The porn parody starts with "Up the ..." 3) The title reminds me of the DGUSA stable the "Dumb Ugly Fucks." The DGUSA stable was the Dirty Ugly Fucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to watch this show where Rachael Leigh Cook was playing an FBI agent. It was really unrealistic, she kept arresting these sleazy bastards and not one of them ever tried to hit on her character even slightly... or even mention that she's too good looking to be an FBI agent and she should be a model or an actress or something. Even though she looks exactly like Rachael Leigh Cook. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig H Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 Regarding that poster for the Duff, one, y'all are sleeping on the boots she's wearing. Obviously DUFF material. Second, is the dude in that poster an undercover cop trying to infiltrate a drug dealing ring because that guy looks like he's in his 30s. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ace Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 To be fair, Mae Whitman's got a history of playing "Hollywood Homely" characters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig H Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 That's a good description. I'm still a little troubled by it. She probably doesn't have a problem with it so maybe I shouldn't care, but I seem to recall her being a little bigger on Parenthood. She's obviously lost weight of that's the case. Taking a role where you're supposedly "fat" feels wrong. It also send a pretty fucked up message to some kids who watch that thinking that person is supposedly fat.

Reed Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 It also send a pretty fucked up message to some kids who watch that thinking that person is supposedly fat. Seriously: if DUFF isn't a satire and you don't have at least one or two characters point out "um, people realize she's not actually fat, right?" this might be one of the grossest teen films I've heard of. Man, no wonder teenagers are so fucked up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Nature Boy Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 And when Dr. Ken says that he was a DUFF, it serves to reinforce that point. I think that it'll be hammered home multiple times that she's not fat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J.T. Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 The Last Boy Scout's virulent misogynism is just about as bad as 48 Hrs.' virulent racism. Actually, worse. 48 Hrs is still win. Last Boy Scout does not have any scene in it as awesome as Reggie Hammond vs, Rednecks at Torchy's. No line in LBS is more awesome that Lack Of Pussy Makes You Brave.
