Wayan bros. excessive crack intake denying kids thus inadvertently saving their wee bairns lives?

― stevem (blueski), Tuesday, 15 June 2004 21:40 (twenty-two years ago)

Have I seen it? Shit no. Not gonna go rent Triumph of the Will anytime soon either. Saw Saved though. It was just OK.

How many White Chicks threads must there be????

If this isn't an instant cultural touchstone, i don't know what is!!!

― AdamL :') (nordicskilla), Tuesday, 15 June 2004 21:42 (twenty-two years ago)

You can get Triumph of the Will at the library for free.

― andy, Tuesday, 15 June 2004 21:48 (twenty-two years ago)

I'd rather see 'White Chicks' than 'Saved'.

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Tuesday, 15 June 2004 21:56 (twenty-two years ago)

Lord, I read that as 'Shaved.'

Perfect. The comercial for White Chicks just went back to back with a commercial for Method and Red. (sigh). Rock bottom, my friends, rock fucking bottom. These things are offensive. To EVERYbody. I'm white and I'm offended - but if I were black, I'd be delivering mail bombs and taking hostages.

By the way, how come the feminists haven't gotten up in arms about the use of the word "chicks?"

Well, I would have said "these movies" but one's a TV show, and I would have said "these TV shows," but one's a movie. Love those semantics as windows into one's alleged bigotry, huh?

I'll see any movie with 'feminazis' in it, so long as they're the Dyanne Thorne type and not the Andrew Dworkin type. Va-va-va-VOOM!

I'm so confused. 'Stainless Steel Bras' is some kind of gender war porno polemic!? What's the movie where they fuck Epic?

― Michael White (Hereward), Wednesday, 16 June 2004 21:55 (twenty-two years ago)

i have no problem with "chicks". I think most feminists have better things to worry about anyway.

Like I said on a previous thread those masks they're wearing terrify me. they look like serial killers.

i'm actually looking forward to their tv show.

― Ask For Samantha (thatgirl), Wednesday, 16 June 2004 22:06 (twenty-two years ago)

You know, if things are TRULY supposed to be equal, then no one would blink at either "White Chicks" (which looks like a grand stupid movie in the vein of the Rob Schneider films and pretty much slots in seamlessly with the rest of Marlon and Shawn's comedies) or "Method And Red" (which looks ABSOLUTELY SCREAMINGLY HYSTERICAL and has some real talent in it in the form of Beth Littleford and Anna Maria Horsford).

Please stop telling black people what they should approve of and what they should be offended by, ok thx.

― Ask For Samantha (thatgirl), Thursday, 17 June 2004 01:28 (twenty-two years ago)

I don't think White Chicks can top the trailer where they're singing along to Vanessa Carlton and then change the station to "Get Low." Dated now, but the execution is funny.

― miloauckerman (miloauckerman), Thursday, 17 June 2004 01:30 (twenty-two years ago)

i don't see what is so racially offensive about "white chicks." seriously. it just seems like a run-of-the-mill silly comedy.

― Eisbär (llamasfur), Thursday, 17 June 2004 01:32 (twenty-two years ago)

It's a bit late to make fun of the Hilton sisters.

i watched this tonight! they brought the whole neighborhood fruitcakes! it was so stepford wives!

― stockholm cindy (Jody Beth Rosen), Thursday, 17 June 2004 01:40 (twenty-two years ago)

I wouldn't be offended by the movie if I were black. Maybe if I were a white chick.

― Gear! (Gear!), Thursday, 17 June 2004 01:40 (twenty-two years ago)

Here's how you can tell if something is racist - replace the race with "Asian" or "Black" and see if the concept would still fly.

Say, VeganDan, are you black? I'm offended by the movie as a white person - is that OK?

Besides, forget race - coming at this from a critical perspective, White Chicks is more offensive in it's lameness than for any other reason. Didn't the Simpsons satirize this kind of "Dude Where's My Pepsi" humor into oblivion yet? Oh, while we're at it, let's have an old lady 'rap' - wouldn't that just be hilarious? And put her in sunglasses. And have a dog take a hit fromn the bong! Yeah, that's hysterical! Whoa, uptight white people - as if there were any other kind - that's comedy gold!! Right?

Why do you hate yourself so much?

― roger adultery (roger adultery), Thursday, 17 June 2004 01:41 (twenty-two years ago)

lemme tell ya bout white chicks

― Eisbär (llamasfur), Thursday, 17 June 2004 01:42 (twenty-two years ago)

Why would you come at White Chicks from a critical perspective to start with?

― miloauckerman (miloauckerman), Thursday, 17 June 2004 01:43 (twenty-two years ago)

Can we get worked up about _Harold & Kumar Go To White Castle_ instead, y'all?

― David R. (popshots75`), Thursday, 17 June 2004 01:44 (twenty-two years ago)

I propose that they should've named the flick _Kumar & Dipshit Go To White Castle_.

― David R. (popshots75`), Thursday, 17 June 2004 01:44 (twenty-two years ago)

Why do you hate yourself so much?

Okay, fuck you you gigantic condescending asshole.

― VengaDan Perry (Dan Perry), Thursday, 17 June 2004 01:45 (twenty-two years ago)

my favorite part of the trailer is where Marlon's girlfriend sees him in the hotel with Shawn who is still in his white chick gear and he says "but this isn't a girl, this is a man!" and she says "This is some Jerry Springer sh..." and they cut it off, but you know she's gonna say "shit".

― Gear! (Gear!), Thursday, 17 June 2004 01:45 (twenty-two years ago)

I'm offended by the movie as a white person

Why, are you a rich wasp chick?

Do you think the scene in stir crazy where gene wilder does blackface is racist?

― Ask For Samantha (thatgirl), Thursday, 17 June 2004 01:46 (twenty-two years ago)

Sort of, yes.

I already wrote in my last post why it's offensive. Not that I really give a fuck either way. It's not like I'm boycotting the thing.

I just thought the minstrel days were over. And good riddance.

― roger adultery (roger adultery), Thursday, 17 June 2004 01:52 (twenty-two years ago)

What group is the film racist against? The Wayans Bros. look to be playing a couple of perfectly respectable FBI agents and the targets aren't being parodied for being white, but for being the Hilton sisters - rich, loud, apparently ditzy, and prone to making night-vision sex tapes.

― miloauckerman (miloauckerman), Thursday, 17 June 2004 01:55 (twenty-two years ago)

I mean to play devil's advocate and strictly devil's advocate, if there were a film called Black Dudes with a couple of white Feds dressing up like L'il Jon and Ben Wallace, and....well wait that might not be terrible, ha.

― Gear! (Gear!), Thursday, 17 June 2004 02:00 (twenty-two years ago)

See my Stir Crazy reference above. See also Eddie Murphy skits. See also many Dave Chapelle skits.

While I don't think this movie will measure up to the quality of any of those part of the humor lies in making fun of ourselves for our racial uptightness and buried (but not too deep) prejudices.

also, note:

Now, I don't want to sound like a scold. Without broad ethnic humor, American comedy would consist of one or two Ernst Lubitsch pictures and the collected monologues of Johnny Carson. And I won't deny that there are some funny jokes in "Soul Plane," including many that no anxious, well-meaning white person would ever admit to laughing at. But for all its boisterous sexual humor, the movie carefully avoids any real provocation, let alone insight. The airline's first-class passengers sip Champagne, while those in "low class" fight over fried chicken, but just about everyone is loud, crude, oversexed and liable to start dancing at the slightest provocation.

― David Allen (David Allen), Friday, 18 June 2004 03:03 (twenty-two years ago)

I mean, are you saying that Seinfeld is funny? Because, yes, I agree, it was a great show. Are you saying it was racist that it took place in NYC and had very few blacks? I agree, that wasn't right. What are you getting at, and why are you so fast to explode on me? My god.

― David Allen (David Allen), Friday, 18 June 2004 03:04 (twenty-two years ago)

― David R. (popshots75`), Friday, 18 June 2004 11:51 (twenty-two years ago)

Okay, hold up: calling a movie "Soul Plane" isn't exactly about any "black stereotypes" -- it's a direct pun on the name of the longest-running syndicated show in the history of television. Which, yes, is associated with black people, in a way you'd have to be nutty to perceive as negative.

As for the fried chicken, this is one of those things where I think people totally overreact from the stereotypes, and wind up being way way overoffended. There's a difference between nasty black people / fried chicken stereotypes and the actual reality that plenty of black people do indeed enjoy fried chicken. Black people are also by and large probably more into collard greens than their white counterparts; you'd have to have a whole other agenda to try and put some sort of negative value judgment on that.
