Knocked Up

[norcalfilmbuff]

I cannot wait to see this movie. The first time I saw the trailer I was dieing of laughter. I think this is going to be the best comedy of the summer season. In fact, I am more excited to see this compared to all the action sequels that are coming out.

I've been watching clips and trailers from the movie on Zannel, just to hold me over until I can see it in theaters.

And they have a hilarious dance contest going right now. I think anyone who sends in them doing the sprinkler is bound to win. ;)

Thanks Norcalfilmbuff, we look forward to long and informative posting sessions with you in the future. Or didnt you know that posting once on this board means lifelong indentured servitude to the FSM?

I like how the thread starter's name ends with "filmbuff", and then he's goes on and on about a mediocre comedy.

[Brain Stew]

It got really good reviews from this Asian Film Critic/Bellhop I know.

[ME!!!!]

I suck KNOCKED UP dick

[Brain Stew]

You suck dick.

[pollypry]

i thought it was great and judd apatow makes regular people respect comedy.

[pollypry]

it also probably helps if you've fucked or been in a relationship before. straight-up.

[DoctorDelicious]

You ladies keep talking about this movie and hyping it up and Ill end up shelling out 10 bucks to see said crap. Somebody make a thread about die hard. Its got things blowing up I think

[ME!!!!]

JK, I Love KNOCKED UP!

[pollypry]

not even you must know what you're talking about anymore.

[Roddimus]

if you think improving a believable scene is either less or more easy than writing one, you'd might as well do away with the concept of talent all together.

Seriously, it's not like they improv garbage. Most of the jokes in the movie hit. The plot in the movie drags around the 3/4 mark, but overall the entire film is very good.

[ME!!!!]

[Brain Stew]

Get 500 hours of guys playing themselves in a scene and you'll get something that hits

Damn ME!!!, did Judd Apatow kill your childhood pet or something? Why all the vitriol?

Misterairbagman (8:43:46 PM): man they're ganging up on me in the knocked up thread

Ecce abo (8:45:00 PM): well, yr wrongheaded is why!

Misterairbagman (8:45:42 PM): I simply don't think the movie is worthy of "Best comedy of the last 20 years" or "Best comedy ever" that the rottentomatoes is spewin and ya'lls is agreein' wit

Ecce abo (8:45:55 PM): Best comedy of year, fo sho

Misterairbagman (8:46:12 PM): It's a funny movie with pacing problems and nothing to say

Misterairbagman (8:47:03 PM): Again best comedy of the year? I mean there are only like 5 or 6 non romantic comedies that come out a year

Ecce abo (8:47:22 PM): When you say it has nothing to say is when I say you are incorrect

Ecce abo (8:47:55 PM): There are only so many major Hollywood Romcoms and several indies and this tops em

Misterairbagman (8:48:07 PM): what is it saying

Misterairbagman (8:48:12 PM): babies is hard?

Ecce abo (8:48:19 PM): Well, yes.

Ecce abo (8:48:27 PM): Babbies is hard

Misterairbagman (8:48:59 PM): yet when 3 men and a baby came out, Nothing, no 90+ on rottentomatoes, nothing

Misterairbagman (8:49:22 PM): I think I'm just bitter that we are forgetting Three Men and A Baby so easily

Ecce abo (8:56:17 PM): I think you are deconstructing this past its more important essences and, perhaps, due to life experience limitations, do not understand the truths which Apatow is bringing to the screen. Nothing new can ever be said; it is the purpose of art to reinterpret past knowledge. Apatow does this with clever ease. The jokes and references made are not always a solid joke, in that they are the perfect joke or that they will have any lasting power. What they do offer is, on one hand, a genuineness of scene, and a capsulation of a point in time. Taking accurate snapshots of moments in time is Apatow's strength (a la Freaks and Geeks).

Ecce abo (8:58:54 PM): Modern man is constantly being thrust into odder and more niche situations and circumstances because of the speed of our culture and technology. We get lost in all the choice we have to make everyday, and have increasingly less models of what solutions are in situations. Without being heavyhanded, Apatow is presenting one model for a specific circumstance that will be looked back upon as a moment in film.

Ecce abo (8:59:27 PM): (sorry, I'm at work)

Misterairbagman (8:59:46 PM): Apatow didn't write a damn bit of that movie outside of "Dudes smoking week,girl calls, wing it"

Ecce abo (9:00:10 PM): Cassavetes often had his dialogue presented on the fly

Misterairbagman (9:01:42 PM): I don't care about little bits of dialouge here and there or when you're trying to convey a feeling, but when it's a joke there is particular form and purpose that is completly lost when poeple just wing it for what is the funniest dick and fart joke

Misterairbagman (9:02:34 PM): The true purpose of a joke isn't to make people laugh but to think. And while this movie makes one laugh, it most certainly is void of thought

Misterairbagman (9:02:45 PM): Freaks and Geeks very much wasn't

Ecce abo (9:05:18 PM): I think the dick and fart jokes were a necessary because the material is very heavy. Also, it reflects the honesty of the characters. And I think the purpose of a joke is to make you think and laugh. I really don't see how you say this film is devoid of thought and meaning. Their is an overarching conversation occurring and it is presented in its bits, that is, at the speed of life.

Misterairbagman (9:06:49 PM): It's a good popcorn flick, nothing more, nothing less

Ecce abo (9:07:45 PM): You are incorrect, something more, nothing less.

Ecce abo (9:08:01 PM): I'm gonna post this on BUTM

Misterairbagman (9:08:28 PM): (I hope) you're just trying to be obnoxious and over intellectualize as a parody of mine taking the movie so seriously

Ecce abo (9:11:05 PM): It's true, you've pushed me into this corner, but a Botts in this corner thinks in this way

Misterairbagman (9:11:39 PM): just look at my equation on BUTM, tis irrefutable proof

[pollypry]

Misterairbagman (9:01:42 PM): I don't care about little bits of dialouge here and there or when you're trying to convey a feeling, but when it's a joke there is particular form and purpose that is completly lost when poeple just wing it
Misterairbagman (9:02:34 PM): The true purpose of a joke isn't to make people laugh but to think.

It's weird that comments like that are supposed to show how much you know about comedy or some shit but show the complete opposite! It's weird!

Botts is right except for those buzzy phrases where he was just jerking off.

[DoctorDelicious]

Those were some awesome and intellectual discussions, now Im definitely going to see this movie. FOR ME TO POOP ON!

[aussiefan]

What the fuck are you going on about, ME!!? It shouldn't matter how a movie is made. It's all about the finished product. Funny is funny. If you honestly don't think Knocked Up is funny, then fair enough, but to say that it's not a good comedy because of the way it was made is ridiculous.

[CptPlanet]

hahaha botts

u made me laff and u made me ethink!!

[CptPlanet]

oh sure its funny but thats not what a comedy is SUPPOSED to be

[aussiefan]

Fucking Misterairbagman, get yo shit togevah.

[voodoochile]

is it weird that I've never heard of this movie outside of this thread?

[Roddimus]

Misterairbagman (9:02:34 PM): The true purpose of a joke isn't to make people laugh but to think.
haha, looks like someone still misses sports night!

[ME!!!!]

JK, I Love KNOCKED UP!

[Roddimus]

quit thinking laughter is the sum of an equation. its involuntary, at least when its genuine.

[Botts]

I don't deny it's funny. I just beleive after Freaks and Geeks and others that this crew should be apiring to higher things than this. Laughing is a side effect of the irony and absurdity a joke reveals, this movie isn't laking in the side effect, just the substance.

Name 2 post-millenial comedies living up to your standards (and giving an ironic- or non- answer will only be an admission of defeat).

[ME!!!!]

JK, I Love KNOCKED UP!

[Brain Stew]

Borat is really an overhyped movie, IMO. I know this will cause me to be slaughtered, but I actually think Knocked Up is much funnier than Borat.

Too much of Borat is hinged on a surprise element, so it really suffers.

[5InchTaint]

What a douchebag.

[Botts]

Borat's hype perfectly matched its quality. It's your own dispositions to 'hype' that didn't allow you to enjoy it (that and the fact you never watched an episode of Da Ali G Show).




Jokes are hinged on a surprise element, so they really suffer.

[Treebeard]

Borat is the only post-millenial one I can come up with. If you counted tv show's I'd say Freaks and Geeks.

SACHA BARON COHEN DIDN'T EVEN WRITE MOST OF THE DIALOGUE IN THAT MOVIE

[ME!!!!]

JK, I Love KNOCKED UP!

[Botts]

The difference between being so into character that you can interact believibly with real people is a far cry away from playing yourself in a scene with your buddies. It's the difference between using improv as art to show your acting abilities and using it as a crutch to mask your lack of them.

You have no idea of the margin of difference between the Knocked Up actors and the Knocked Up characters. It is a wider margin with Sacha/Borat, for sure. Improvisational acting involves actors being so in to their own charactes, that they can interact believeably with their co-stars as if they themselves were real people. I think your issue is that you don't believe these actors are having to step outside of themselves, make any stretch. This can be called lazy in some instances, but in the case of a movie like Knocked Up where you're dealing with characters who are common and likeminded and universal, there's nothing wrong with an actor culling from their own personal lives. No one attacks an actress for her portrayal in a crying scene because she also makes similar physical motions when she cries off screen. To make a stretch outside of what a real person would do in a situation is what most discerning viewers refer to as ham-acting.

Seriously, ME!!!!, just give up on this.

I'm not trying to say you have to agree with me, but it is a valid criticism for why this movie is simply good and not fantastic or the best of the last 20 years or whatnot.

Mmm... no it's not.

[DoctorDelicious]

Wow, Im almost really sold on going to see this movie.

[DoctorDelicious]

Note: the above post will be funny only to those in the future who read this thread all the way through for the first time.

[DoctorDelicious]

Also, this is a great thread. It sums up every conversation I ever had with a girl as to why she didnt think my dead website was funny. Except the girl was ME!!!!....and I was everyone else ganging up on him. Hey, ME!!!!, do you feel as gangraped as the girls that didnt like my site yet?

[ME!!!!]

JK, I Love KNOCKED UP!

[aussiefan]

I haven't seen it yet. All i was saying was maybe you should evaluate why you don't like it. You've gotta admit, your last post doesn't really sum up your previous argument seeing as you were saying the movie was bad because of the way it was made.

[ME!!!!]

JK, I Love KNOCKED UP!

really? i didnt think t was that good :/

[ME!!!!]

It's fantastic, go see it 12, 15 times. SEE IT SEE IT SEE IT! You'll want to see it more, see it till your eyes bleed, love it, or it will destroy you!

[ME!!!!]

Let us discuss our favorite scenes from KNOCKED UP! I like when he went "That's how you get pink eye" they were talking about pink eye earlier and brought that back, KNOCKED UP WHAT WILL YOU THINK OF NEXT!

[scotch-romanian]

spoilers goddammit

[DoctorDelicious]

Im not so sure if I want to see this movie anymore.

[KyleGassProject]

Desire is immaterial.


You NEED to see Knocked Up. It is your patriotic duty to do so.


If you don't... well, I guess the terrorists win again. We can't let that happen!


America is waiting.

What does that mean? I don't understand. Are you saying you're starting to doubt that Charlyne is doing a retard schtick and that she's in fact retarded? I'm confused.

[Grinch-Gibbons]

This Thread has made me decide not to talk about movies Online again. And besides, IMDb (and those Amazon fucks) have banned me.

[joebert]

How the hell do you get banned by IMDB ?

[Grinch-Gibbons]

I got banned from IMDb in such a way that all my posting history was deleted because an Admin decided he didn't like the tone of a few of my recent posts.

And I refuse to go incognito. So I am what I am, and I make constant reference to this injustice each time I log in, in vain hopes for an apology or something. Instead, I get my history deleted again, just like the nips at Nagasaki (see, I like a Thornton movie reference with the best of'em).

[joebert]

So you got banned for being a dick huh ?

There's a trick to getting away with being a dick, you have to be soo good at somthing else that anyone with more authority than you would have to pickup alot of slack if you were gone.

Since this is the internet,
sucking dick, kissing ass, & other general brown nosing just isn't an option.
I think that's why there's so many fuatrated people online, it sure would explain the porn.

I tend to attempt to either make people laugh or show them how to do somthing that others are sick & tired of showing people.
I've gotten away with being a dick numerous times with this approach.

Of course, feel free to be a dick & assume I'm trying to cut you down with this reply if you want, makes no difference to me, I'll still be a dick. :D

[Botts]

If I was still a mod, I'd ban you two babbies so quick
