    You're right. I should not have included NATM in the list since it was a parody of teen movies.
    'There is a greater darkness than the one we fight. It is the darkness of the soul that has lost its way. The war we fight is not against powers and principalities, it is against chaos and despair. Greater than the death of flesh is the death of hope, the death of dreams. Against this peril we can never surrender. The future is all around us, waiting, in moments of transition, to be born in moments of revelation. No one knows the shape of that future or where it will take us. We know only that it is always born in pain.'"

        Plus a suck-the-chrome-off-a-trailer-hitch joke thrown in for good measure, always a winner!

        No, that isn't damning with faint praise, I mean it sincerely...

            If Texans paid less attention to hick sports, they may read more. Reading more would provide you with better reading comprehension, and would make it more likely for you to post your hick-sports stupid posts in the correct thread.

We get movies like American Pie, Dukes of Hazzard, Sex and the Teenage Mind, Dude where's my car, Not another teen movie, 40 days and 40 nights, etc that just go for the lame teen sex joke.
              I did like American Pie though. And AP2 was okay. But after that, it pretty much sucked.

                And how the hell Ben Stiller has a career as anything other than a small-town news reporter, I will never understand.
                Watching movies with him in them make me want to gouge out my eyes. Actually, I just tend to flee (and go play Civ).

                  Flirting With Disaster was hilarious. Though Ben Stiller was one of the weaker points of the movie. Alan Alda's family is what made the film work.

                    I finally got around to watching 40 year old virgin.

                    That movie is friggin' hilarious. It slowed down a bit in the last 1/3. But that was good in a way, because my throat was hurting from laughing so much. I love raunchy comedy. But I liked this better than most because it was from an adult perspective, and not a teen perspective. I'm tired of teen raunch comedies.

                    I highly recommend this film.

                    What about Wedding Crashers, is this movie any good? Is there a lot of raunchy comedy in it?

                          Dis . I told you that you'd love "The 40 Year Old Virgin". That movie is great .

                            I'll see The party, with Peter Sellars, shortly. That should be good!

                            Speaking of Peter Sellars, anyone saw the trailer for the remake of the Pink panther, with Steve Martin playing Inspector Clouseau?

                              they all feel like silicone.
