I think of it along the same lines as "Adventureland." Touching and amusing and with this retro-feel to it. Both of them are wonderfully endearing, and my love of them proves I'm a wimp softee. But I'm keeping "Whip It" so I can have fun uncomfortable conversations with my daughters in a couple of years.Billyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15742351986773966649noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13754190.post-83160266592202258442011-01-11T12:26:36.210-05:002011-01-11T12:26:36.210-05:00I have seen neither of these.

Bond - Ooh...Cora - You'll like it, I promise. <br /><br />Bond - Ooh, you must get all the fancy pay channels.<br /><br />Dr. Ken - Yeah, she is rather charming. I actually have nothing against her; it just so happens that in these two movies, she was constantly cackling in this loud, harsh tone that seemed forced and it annoyed me. It didn't seem so out of place in "Whip It," because she was supposed to be a tough stoner chick, but in the other one, it was like everything about her character was being forced to show how edgy and cool she was that it was irritating as hell.BeckEyehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00119780316809151433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13754190.post-14790167889042091152011-01-10T23:10:38.045-05:002011-01-10T23:10:38.045-05:00I think she can be really charming.

Because she's an aspiring writer (of course she is) who's good at video games, smokes weed, doesn't mind having sex while her boyfriend's roommate listens in and plays music for them and she drops the F-bomb a lot. And you know how we know Justin Long's character is cool? Because he works for a record label (of course he does), bristles at the idea of signing a boy band, smokes weed and really loves "Top Gun," so much so that he's in his 30s and has posters of Tom Cruise on his walls. <br /><br />Barbara: I don't think it's as precise as you might think, but thanks for thinking I'm capable of precision anyway. <br /><br />Nice Girls: Thank you, welcome to my blog and thanks for the inspiration. Maybe I WILL become a roller derby queen after I whip myself back into shape again!<br /><br />Scope: Hey, I like "Never Been Kissed." <br /><br />Del-V: So true.BeckEyehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00119780316809151433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13754190.post-12058457539617788012011-01-10T12:09:26.263-05:002011-01-10T12:09:26.263-05:00Anythign with Charlie in it is worth seeing.Anythign with Charlie in it is worth seeing.Del-Vhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10177208284239709601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13754190.post-73061343053088871152011-01-10T07:55:48.946-05:002011-01-10T07:55:48.946-05:00Good thing one of the movies wasn't "Neve...Good thing one of the movies wasn't "Never Been Kissed" where she played 'Grossie Jossie'.<br /><br />And now I have <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xQBKUPwG_Gk" rel="nofollow">SKATEAWAY</a> in my head.<br /><br />NOt a bad thing.Scopehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14671603955380819514noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13754190.post-19316497665789991792011-01-10T00:03:55.795-05:002011-01-10T00:03:55.795-05:00Great reviews.

I just wanted to let you know...I am 38 years old and a LOT of my friends are in Roller Derby and I would be willing to guess that the majority of our local team is my age on average. In fact, the younger girls seem to have a harder time being tough than the ones in their late 30's/early 40's. It looks like a really great time and I doubt you're too old!Jennifer Harperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09709174123334212892noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13754190.post-16599241043004229262011-01-09T22:12:36.028-05:002011-01-09T22:12:36.028-05:00I'm impressed with the degree of precision in ...I'm impressed with the degree of precision in your rating system!Barbara Bruederlinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14476249934930666695noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13754190.post-78810663114393599392011-01-09T20:32:35.696-05:002011-01-09T20:32:35.696-05:00I haven't seen "Going the Distance" ...I haven't seen "Going the Distance" yet although I'm sure some quiet, boring winter evening will have me acquiring it somehow for easy watching, but I liked "Whip It!" although in my case, not as much as I thought I would. It was fun and the roller derby looks kick ass, but somehow I expected more... Not at all bad for a directing debut though.<br /><br />Back to GTD, I'm happy someone else is as annoyed as I am by hipster shit in movies. It's not cute, it's forced. Plus Drew and Justin are a tad long in the tooth to be acting like dickwads. :)VEGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07704685920354554043noreply@blogger.com
