I have yet to see the flick, and I really don't have an opinion either way, but...

Why did you find the ridicule of "Frat Guys" acceptable when the rest of the film troubled you? I kinda get the vibe that Monkeyskull may have hit on something...

Ya know what? I just read Monkeyskull's last post followed by mine and I gotta say that I was a little TOO fired up about this when I wrote that. I looked at Monkeyskull's and agreed with it! Then I looked at my reply and was like 'jeez...calm down.'

Sorry about that Monkeyskull.

The thing about the Frat Guys in this movie was that they were in the role of the bad guy(s). Every story has to have a villian and they were it, so naturally I found that to be justified. They were making their own bed so...

As far as alot of the other people in the film, again I just see this as the equivilent of some prankster throwing a bucket of water or paint or whatever on an unsuspecting person, filming it and showing it to an audience and saying 'look at that! look at their reaction! I just threw a giant bucket of paint on them while they were wearing an expensive suit and they didn't know it was coming. Isn't that funny???!!!! Isn't it? Isn't it...hooray for me, I'm a big funny prankster, and they're just a lame ususpecting boob put here for our entertainment.

C'mon...grow-the-fuck-up.
