Just talked to the missus, and she informs me that she has rented a couple of movies for tonight. For the ladies, she rented Bring it On. For my son and I, Blackhawk Down.
While I really am looking forward to seeing BD, as I understand it, BIO is about rival high school cheerleading squads who do - ahem - suggestive competition routines.
Now, not to put too fine a point on it, but this aging pervert can imagine more painful ways to spend my time than watching a bunch of buffed, nubile, comely, skantily clad, Hollywood versions of ostensible HS-aged cheerleaders bumping and grinding.
So, the issue is, how do I convey this, without making my wife and daughters think I’m a lech, and my son think I’m an embarrassment to his gender?
Tell her that you’ve heard it isn’t all that bad of a movie.
I enjoyed it, and there really wasn’t that much ogling to do. Except for the shower scene and the car wash scene, and the threesome with the math teacher.
Not only does it star Eliza Drushku - Faith as a bad-girl cheerleader (be still my heart) but in addition to numerous cheerleading routines, the reviews mention such all around family fun as “locker room scenes [&] bikini car wash scenes.”
It’s very funny. My Dad even likes it Poor Dad, I made him (and my brother) watch ** 10 things I hate about you** and they liked that one too. And then there’s ** Get Over It**…
It’s weird. People buy porn with no shame, they talk about their most personal private habits and experiences on a public message board… but they are afraid to watch a perfectly legitimate movie with cheerleaders in?
“It’s all right, it’s OK, you’re gonna pump our gas some day!”
Dude, watch it. You’ll never regret it. It actually hits a “Buffy” exacta, with both Faith and Glory in the cast. Plus the scrumptious Gabrielle Union.
Aw man! They took the ball outta my court and watched it in the afternoon before I got home! So now I hafta be a blatant perv and sit down to watch this trash by myself. Unless i can convince one of my daughters to watch it again …
I’m bitchen
Great hair
The boys all love to stare!
The movie is definitely cute, and there are much, much worse ways to spend 90 minutes. It’s silly and completely not worth being embarrassed over. Watch it.
I loved it every damn second of it. Watched it twice, even, once with the commentary. From listening to the commentary, it’s obvious that they knew exactly who a large part of their audience would be – and it’s not teenaged girls. (One of my favorite things that I didn’t get before I saw the commentary was that the name of the high school was “Meat Ranch.”)
And the closing credits, with Faith dancing to “Mickey” in a cheerleading uniform? It was how I imagine heaven to be.
Poor Dad, I made him (and my brother) watch ** 10 things I hate about you** and they liked that one too. And then there’s ** Get Over It**…
