hi. my name is Space, and i like to party.
so i went to the place where they let me borrow DVD's for free (i believe the ancient Egyptians called them libraries) and i noticed that i had already borrowed just about everything cool from there already. so it was slim pickin's. i ended up finally breaking down and picked up the movie Stick It.
this movie has been calling out to me for who knows how long and i constantly thought the girl on the cover was flipping everybody off. (telling them where they could stick it, i guess)
so i finally looked closer at the cover and i noticed that:
A) it's from the writers of Bring It On. that movie is fun and dumb all at the same time.
2) that although not pictured on the cover, jeff bridges is in it. and although he has played many good roles, i will always remember him as The Dude. and don't nobody mess with The Dude.
8) the tagline was beautiful.
"It's not called gym-nice-tics"
and yes, i did laugh out loud when it was actually said in the movie.
i stopped counting how many times they actually say Stick It in the dialogue. i guess they just wanted to make their point.
i popped in the movie out of curiosity and ended up watching it from start to finish. i'm not ashamed to tell you that it was a highly enjoyable film.
there, i said it.
but let's get something straight here.
everybody has certain things in their lives that they like.... but somehow can't explain why or how they enjoy such things.
here's a list of things that i really like but somehow it just doesn't make any sense at all that i do.
!) Prince.
i've written before that i'm somewhat of a Prince fan but somehow he just doesn't go along with all the heavy/industrial/angry/metal//hardcore music i've been into for most of my life.
i can't really blame kevin smith, i think he just exacerbates the issue.
@) movies where the entire plot revolves around dancing to prove who is better.
i am not talking about musicals here. i am talking about movies that lead up to some big dance contest. examples being:
breakin'
breakin' 2: electric boogaloo
you got served
stomp the yard
step up
step up 2: electric boogaloo
the sad but true thing is, i can't dance. i don't know if i ever had any rhythm. somehow i have a 5th beat that sneaks in there and screws everything up.
so yeah, maybe it's jealousy or envy that makes me watch. but i'd like to think it's just plain funny that so much drama can be built around getting served or stealin each others moves.
sucka.
actually, those are the two things that can't be explained. i'm sure there was at least a third one but it has gone bye-bye from my brain.
so on that note, we cue the music.
BRING IT!!!
P.S. i have never seen any of the sequels to bring it on, and i intend to keep it that way. consider it broughten.
