Stomp The Yard

[DorkyFresh]

I just happen to think it's a lame concept regardless of ethnicity.

i dunno about you, but i don't see what's so lame about the concept of taking a bad experience and using it to strive to do something with your life instead of letting it hold you down. it's an old concept that works in movies time after time after time again...


...regardless of ethnicity.

I saw it last night and it was good. If your not black or latino(or cool). This movie wont appeal to you. JAL where does honey rank on all your time favorite dance movies.

Especially when you consider how most films that depict fraternity life. More often than not, it's drinking, hazing, screwing, etc. It's a lot of rowdy behavior with not a lot of focus on the "fraternal" aspect of it.

^I think that's where the difference lies. I've been to frat parties in the past hosted by blacks and whites, and the former is more in tune with putting on a show almost where there is competitive nature going on, while the latter is just people getting sloppy drunk and making a mess. Granted, if that's what you do, that's what you do....just not my thing.

It's no surprise this movie was #1 during MLK weekend.

Check the #1 movie during the same weekend in the past 2 years.
2006 - Glory Road $16.9 million
2005 - Coach Carter $29million

Notice a pattern here?

I love watching people step. I think it's interesting, I know it has a rich history through time, but I have no desire to see this movie.

Why?

Because this just like You Got Served before it is nothing but a vehicle for the latest and "greatest" R&B stars to ''act" in.

 

[DorkyFresh]

no, there's a difference between Stomp the Yard and You Got Served. You Got Served had B2K and Marques Houston (r&b stars) up front and center...they were the main characters of the movie. Stomp the Yard only has Chris Brown and Ne-Yo and from the looks of it Chris Brown's role is short.

the difference between the 2 is that in YGS the story is centered around r&b stars trying to act. STY's story is centered around someone who's already had experience with movies, some of which are dance themed.

Columbus Short, is technically the star of the movie, and while he's best known as a choreographer (not the "latest & greatest" R&B star), he has been acting for a while now, and is a series regular on Studio 60.

Spoiler

And Christ Brown's character dies at the beginning of the film. Looking at the trailers, it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure it out. The film was never advertised as being about him, anyway.

Goddamnit, if this knocks Children of Men out of theatres before I get to see it Friday, I will be very pissed. People are stupid for seeing this crap.
