This is America punishing the world for being mad at us. Surrender now or we’ll unleash From Clay to Ruben, even if it violates the Geneva Convention.
Many years ago, my morning commute took me past a gay porn theater in DC, and Buster Goes to Laguna was the feature for a few weeks. That title has stuck in my head for almost 20 years! 
Hey everybody, Mr. Blue Sky saw From Justin to Kelly! Let’s all point at him and laugh!
So, MrBS, this is what you did:
You went to the video store.
You wandered over to the New Releases.
You selected the title in question.
Then you went back to the counter and paid actual money to take it home, that you might watch the kid who looks like his head has recently exploded fall in fake love with the girl who I can’t think of anything to say about because I don’t know anything about her.
This is all assuming that you didn’t go see it while it was in theaters. Actually, was it ever in theaters? Aww, I’m just messing with you, Mr. Blue Sky.
Not a movie, but there was a cartoon. It involved a magic walking stick. Wasn’t half bad. I’d much rather see a movie of that than of Sk8er Boi, but you have to admit, the plot isn’t that out there for a Hollywood movie.
I heard there was, but I could never find it.
My memory is pretty good, it turns out. You can still get copies of Buster Goes to Laguna, though it appears it’s only available in VHS: http://hisxpress.com/CATBGTL.html
Isn’t that pretty much every Jim Carrey movie, beginning to end?
Anything that promotes Avril Lavigne in any way is evil and must be stamped out at the source.
Actually, no. The Truman Show, The Majestic and Man on the Moon were almost completely sans mugging. And a couple others were fairly light on it. The man can act, but unfortunately he was back to the Plastic Face thing in Bruce Almighty.
That said, I think it’s unfortunate that he’s been cast for Count Olaf. Anyone who has heard Tim Curry’s fine readings of the Unfortunate Events books knows that Curry should have had that part in the bag.
Oh, and I think Sk8er Boi will be every bit as bad as From Justin to Kelly (which I saw by proxy, thanks to my girls… they also thought it was stupid, yay!). What was trite and silly as a 4-minute song can only get worse when stretched into a 90-minute film.
Yeah, it’s a shame his immortal soul will burn forever for his horrible rape of “You’ve Got to Hide Your Love Away.”
No the one saying Scooby Doo 1 was good.
I have no strong opinion on the Sk8er Boi thing, although part of me strongly thinks it may be someone at paramount taking the piss. Of course if you ignore the song and the ‘wacky’ spelling there could be a grain of a half decent romantic-moral-comedy story in there.
But I’m really posting because of this …
I can accept the SD wasn’t everyones cup of tea but I thought it was a great film, nice ideas, nice plot, nicely executed and generally fun with the added bonus of Sarah Michelle Geller and Isla Fisher. I’m unsure why you think it was soooo bad.
I have it on DVD and have watched it several times and am looking forward to the sequal, if that makes me odd then so be it.
SD – No relation to Mr Doo.
