John_Young Posted June 23, 2004 Share Posted June 23, 2004 I saw the movie Dodgeball last night. Frelling hillarious! Best part is, Steve the Pirate! A must see.

Iron Bess Posted June 23, 2004 Share Posted June 23, 2004 Ooooooooooo.... I sat through 20 min of a screening and left. Sorry, I didn't care for it at all.

John_Young Posted June 23, 2004 Author Share Posted June 23, 2004 heh... regardless he's played by Alan Tudyk, who played Wash on Firefly and was in Knight's Tale. Dang funny actor.

Capt Grey Posted June 23, 2004 Share Posted June 23, 2004 Ooooooooooo.... I sat through 20 min of a screening and left. I thought they locked the doors on those screenings so nobody can escape? With movies costing $10/person I don't see too many in the theater. Although I'll probably go see the SpongeBob Movie just to get a glimpse of Patchy the Pirate. Captain, we always knew you were a whoopsie. Rumors of my death are entirely premature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't have too though, it was a studio screening and we could come and go as we wished. Well, you may not realize it but your looking at the remains of what was once a very handsome woman!

Red Maria Posted June 23, 2004 Share Posted June 23, 2004 It looked very lame to me. Wasn't dodgeball banned? If not maybe it will be after this movie! It just looks sucky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John_Young Posted June 24, 2004 Author Share Posted June 24, 2004 Um... #1, the movie doesn't suck. Check the numbers. It's doing quite well. #2 Dodgeball is banned. For kids still in school. For us adults, we can play it whenever we choose. Check the Game Show Network. And adult leagues do exist.

Folks like to voice their opinions 'tis all. and thank the Sea Gods that we are free to do so here. Within reason of course. I know allot of people like that sort of thing. Other's find it unentertaining. It was very sherrod timing to release it when there was really not much else out there to compete with AND at the start of summer when more youngsters were out of schol and were free to hit the screens. Really, it's all about tiiming and not always about movie quality. Well, you may not realize it but your looking at the remains of what was once a very handsome woman!

Red Bess Posted June 25, 2004 Share Posted June 25, 2004 It looked very lame to me. I would have thought so, too, but having watched "Zoolander" recently I have to say I'm willing to give it a try. I thought "Zoolander" was just quirky enough to be really funny. But I admit, I would never have watched it if a friend of mine hadn't had the DVD and she made me watch it. Now, if you thought "Zoolander" was dumb, then I'm guessing "Dodgeball" won't be your cup of tea, either. I'm not entirely sure what connection the films have besides Ben Stiller. And I as far as my taste in movies -- well, But, the point is, "Dodgeball" has a pirate in it, huh? OK.

A pirate in a movie would get me to see about any film but the Ben Stiller thing could be the reason I won't see this one. It's the same with Adam Sandler. And I'm half Jewish!

With movies costing $10/person I don't see too many in the theater. Although I'll probably go see the SpongeBob Movie just to get a glimpse of Patchy the Pirate. Had I known there was a pirate in "Dodgeball", I would have gone to the movie opening day! They need to include stuff like that in their advertising... "Dodgeball...This movie features a pirate!" Do you know how much money they could have made if the general public was actually aware there was a pirate in the film?!?! That's just bad marketing on their part... "I like nachos. Mermaid nachos."

Even though my brother swears that "Punch-Drunk Love" (I didn't see it) proves that he can act. Of course, my chances of seeing "Dodgeball" while it's still in the theaters depends greatly on chance. With two kids, most movie outings are devoted to family fare. I suspect the next film I get to see will be "Spiderman 2" on Wednesday. My boys are totally pumped for that!

piratelassie Posted June 29, 2004 Share Posted June 29, 2004 I dunno, I thought Dodgeball was bloody hysterical, an' the fact tha' it had a pirate in it was a definite lot of extra points. As fer the game o' dodgeball, has it really been outlawed in schools? cos I were in middle school on'y 5 years ago, an' we played it in gym class all the time.

Redd Oktober Posted June 29, 2004 Share Posted June 29, 2004 Damn and Blast! Now I have ter see it, all of me co-workers have been coming up to me, pointing, and saying - "YOU'RE PIRATE STEVE, DUDE!" YARRR! The Oktober be silent now! Just call me "REDD!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kuthroat Kim Posted July 3, 2004 Share Posted July 3, 2004 I saw Dodgeball. it was just as I expected...not a "good" film by any means, but fun and entertaining. I agree that Steve The Pirate gave it an added bonus. I felt so bad for him at the end I am a big fan of funny movies of the Adam Sandler and Ben Stiller genre too. Take what you can, give nothing back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tattoo'd TJ Posted July 4, 2004 Share Posted July 4, 2004 Aye, T'was damned funny. And Steve the Pyrate is a riot. And dodgeball should never have been banned, it's why kids today are wimps.

Captain Shadow Posted July 12, 2004 Share Posted July 12, 2004 Aye! Steve the Pirate was hilarious ! I say he was t' only good part o' t' whole movie! I didna like it much. O'er here dodgeball is still play'd, as it were. One o' the most popular games in the elementary schools. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John_Young Posted July 15, 2004 Author Share Posted July 15, 2004 Interesting bit of information that just came down the pike... Sammy, the main robot seen in trailers for "I, Robot", is Steve the Pirate. "Yo Ho, all together hoist the colours high Heave Ho, theives and beggers Never shall we die..."

John_Young Posted July 15, 2004 Author Share Posted July 15, 2004 That would be the best movie in the history of American Cinema!

Blackeye Susan Posted July 15, 2004 Share Posted July 15, 2004 Ah movies can be tricky things. Never be offended if someone thinks a movie you liked was crap. I remember when the Avengers came out I thought it was marvelously entertaining...told a bunch of my friends about it right before this older friend showed up and panned it like a stir-fry. I was feelin' all insulted for about 5 minutes until I realized that the bits she didn't like were t he bits I really liked so screw her. Then there was the girl I once heard proclaim that "...the best movie of 1995 was Clueless." Same year as Braveheart came out. We all have our different tastes and opinions an' were going to subject others to them whethere they want to be or not. * * blackeye susan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
