Man, am I behind the times. Looking forward. And holy cow, Elizabeth, that is SO totally rape in Revenge of the Nerds. I don't know why I never noticed that before. Probably because I first saw it when I was twelve and it has a lot of jiggly girl parts, thus permanently branding my brain with a positive imprint. Wait, there’s a Get Smart movie?

I like the phrase "privilege awareness kick in the balls". To be fair, I’d probably sleep with The Rock too, given the chance ;).

I like the phrase “privilege awareness kick in the balls”.

All my friends were seeing "Wanted" but I needed a laugh and we had been planning to see it since it came out - we watched it every single night it was on Nick at Nite growing up. I was worried it would suck, but very glad it did not. Yes, the fat jokes bothered me. I think that 99 didn't sleep with *all* of her partners, just The Rock. (And I guess, now, Smart.) But in the end, any movie where Steve Carrell gets the girl instead of The Rock - especially without him having to rape her a la Revenge of the Nerds - will always be near and dear to my heart. Great summer popcorn movie, especially if you want to nerd it up. I am such a geek - I was applauding the first time he said "missed it by that much" and my brother let out a huge guffaw at the "would you believe" sequence. :D *Spoiler*

I have never laughed so much at a movie in all my life. You are right with all the failure points, but I still think this movie is totally worth seeing if anyone reading this is on the fence about whether to go or not. I loved this movie!

The "dusty uterus" jokes didn't bother me as much, because the way they were presented (out of the mouth of the offended, inarticulate, and not so bright Smart), which struck me as mocking that kind of accusation, especially since in the circumstance he was aiming them at a woman who's obviously not old, and recognized as attractive by everyone. The dance scene, which looked from the previews like it would piss me off, was actually my favorite scene. I liked the movie decently well, but like WallE and Kung Fu Panda, otherwise quality movies can be destroyed by fat hate. I just wish someone would give the creators a good hard smack in the head with the Fat-Acceptance stick and just cut out that kind of crap. And the not-hating-women stick. And the racial-awareness stick. And the privilege-awareness kick in the balls. The fat hate bugged the crap out of me too.
