That movie 'Accepted'

Post by Skippy! »

I think it's called 'Accepted'. It's the movie about the guy (from the Mac ads) who gets rejected from 7 schools and decides to make his own school, blah blah blah, hilarity ensues. ANNNYway, 2 reasons why I'm posting about this movie right now:

1) This movie is pretty funny. If you haven't seen it, check it out. It doesn't need naked broads making out to be good, which is refreshing.

2) The main character dude (the guy from the mac ad) WEARS LAVERS IN THIS MOVIE. I dunno if he does for the whole thing, but there's definitely a closeup scene where he picks up some mail, and you can see those crisp green soles, and wonderful white construction. I laughed my ass off, and obviously rewound it like 3 times.

EDIT:
YESSSS

And of course, everybody knows of the laver wearing main character in Rushmore....are there any others though? I mean, I know we're all obsessed with looking for them, so somebody must've spotted some other movie lavers.

If the movie was rated "R" it would have kicked ass.
There were not enough party scenes had they had many chances to show boobies but they held back on it.
Overall the plot of the movie is unreal.
And the ending sucks because he should have gotten his ass kicked by all the people that enrolled in his fake college

No. If the movie was rated R, MA, X or anything else, it would be just as bad. Having gratuitous sex, violence, drug use or anything else do not make a movie good.

Any movie with a plot as ridiculous as that movie and a stupid slapstick style poster will be shit, no matter who is directing, staring, or what actions the get up to in the film.

Look how every character is a stereotype, how ridiculous their expressions are, and just think about the plot. It's a completely improbably comedy/feel good movie aimed at the lowest common denominator and demonstrates complete cynicism in the intelligence and culture of American society today.

I haven't seen the film, I haven't heard of it, I have no idea what the critics thought of it, I bet if I check they gave it shit scores, and the general public rated it higher, but still not impressive. I hate censorship, but it would be hard to complain if rubbish like that film were banned.

I saw that movie. Definately cool that he wears lavers. My friend brought it over and he's like "Check it out!! He has footbag shoes!!" And it was very cool when we got to see them.

Not a movie, but MF Doom shouts out "perforated Rod Lavers" on one of his CDs. Or maybe its 'Viktor Vaughan'. If I can find the exact CD & track I'll post it.

First time I heard it I was like "wait, what?" and had to skip back in the track to make sure I'd heard correctly. Then I was like "awww yeah." 8)

That's america for ya' bud. Fat, lazy, ignorant. We'll eat up anything anyone puts out because new things are scary. It's easier to create characters that are completely based off some other character rather than come up with new original ideas. As for plot....It's a movie...Who cares...Why don't you bitch and moan about the hairy peter movies because they have magic and witches, dumbass retarded plots and what not. Not meaning to sound flame-y but....It is just a movie man...

We love stereo-types.....But potholes still remain a prominent hazard in society. What with their causing of flat tires and jarring the asses of people old and young. Not to mention global warming, flying whales and DR. PEPPER causing the death of thousands of people a year.

Prove me right....

I'm in this movie. I was an extra with a few of my friends, we actually played hackey sack in the background of one of the shots (never actually watched the movie to see if it made the cut though.)

The main guy Justin Long was wearing lavers the whole time, although we asked him, and he had no idea what footbag was.

The movie seemed lame overall though.

That's a ridiculous statement. I didn't start this discussion, I simply responded to the movie that were talking about. It would be ludicrous to complain about a completely unrelated bad movie. There are plenty of bad movies out there. Elements like magic do not make the plot of a movie bad if they're presented in a contextually believable manner. Having read very little, the plot of this movie doesn't sound remotely believable, and if you feel like what you're watching at a movie is just a bunch of guys pretending to be in a weird situation, you're not going to enjoy the movie.

Cool that he wears Lavers, saw the movie when it came out and loved it. I thought it was pretty damn well done for such an unbelievable plot idea. There's only one way to properly judge something and that's to see it and learn more about it. Until then, you aren't much more than an uninformed, close-minded fool. And no, that wasn't directed to anyone in particular.
