Avril's "Sk8r Boi" to become a movie - Page 2

St Leo · May 29, 2003, 16:24

What you v'e got is a 90 minute film thats so shallow it can be encapsulated in a 3 minute song...I can hardly wait

No worries. Terry Brooks will write a 500-page novelization.

I believe in only one form of capital punishement, and that would be only for teen pop stars (over musical teens who stay away from pop are exempt). In the cases of teen pop stars, injunctions against cruel and unusual are exempt as well:

I was thinking., what would be a gruesome and yet ironic death? Perchance, drawing and quartering by manic fans??

I hope Shania Twain's Ka-Ching is made into a movie next. It would rock.

I wonder what the idiot who is financing this thing is thinking.

I roll my eyes at you people, all hating her, just because she's successfull now. I guess she's not "hardcore" enough, now that she's actually selling records.

You didn't say all this when she was just doing small gigs.

Jealousy.

Azazel, download an album version of one of her songs. Then download a live version. Notice how ****ing out of tune she is when she performs live, but that little problem is corrected on the cd.

He's thinking it'll cost nothing to make, the writing an acting can be terrible and millions will still go see it.

And "boi" is the gay-spelling for boy, it usually means gay boy...

So no wonder she didn't get the skater boi.

In short: "Ka-Ching"

*Nods to Gibsie*

When and where was she doing "small gigs?" In her bedroom?

She can't play guitar (note: flailing with one hand while holding the strings with the other hand in the one chord you were taught five minutes ago while jumping up and down occasionally is not playing the guitar.). She can't sing, any better than a stray cat in heat. And I've heard plenty of stray cats in heat than can hold a note for longer AND have more vocal range.

She can't write for **** - her songs (whoever wrote them) are barely semiliterate and inane. Maybe she shouldn't have skipped so many English classes to skate up and down the halls at school, like she's bragged about.

She's nothing other than an easily packagable "anti-Brittney" because the fat white men who run Brittney and Christina realize there's a market niche for a deluded wannabe to play the "anti-Brittney" role, and she happened to cross the street in front of their car, so she got picked. More power to her bank account, because otherwise, she'd be lucky to work behind a fast food counter or as a car parts store runner.

Asher · May 29, 2003, 23:15

She can't skate, either.

DRoseDARs · May 29, 2003, 23:19

I hope, with all the money she'll make on this movie, she pisses it all away on "nose candy" or some other expensive vice. That'd just be grand!

MichaeltheGreat · May 29, 2003, 23:22

She should get that honker fixed. God, look at the pictures on her site. ewwwwww.

DRoseDARs · May 29, 2003, 23:39

"I'm so punk...it hurts! Yeah!"

DRoseDARs · May 29, 2003, 23:40

Check out the sign in the crowd. God I hate people like that...

DRoseDARs · May 29, 2003, 23:42

Avril: "When I say, 'Talentless,' you say, 'Ho!' Talentless!"

Crowd: "Ho!"

Avril: "Talentless!"

Crowd: "Ho!"

DRoseDARs · May 29, 2003, 23:44

"God, if only I hadn't had those beans for lunch before this photoshoot. Ugh, the pain...AND THAT SMELL! Mustn't let on. Must maintain punk-like "I-Don't-Give-A-Damn" Look..."

DRoseDARs · May 29, 2003, 23:45

Ok, I'm done. I picked the choiciest pic from her site to rag on.

MichaeltheGreat · May 29, 2003, 23:47

She looks good (for her) in those. Got to go to her site.

This one's the best. In lots of them, though, she looks more manly than Michael Jackson.

St Leo · May 30, 2003, 00:15

Stop picking on Avril. She may be a poser, but at least she has picked an admirable thing to pose as. Go bother Celine Dion, Shania Twain, and Brian Adams.

DRoseDARs · May 30, 2003, 00:49

But THEY aren't making movies based on their songs...

Semiliterate northern trailer trash?

Shi Huangdi · May 30, 2003, 02:14

In fairness, the theme it is about isn't stupid, not judging people based on their social status, is a good one and a theme that many young people could use exposure too. Of course, the movie will probably still suck anyway.

DRoseDARs · May 30, 2003, 02:20

Just more fodder for Not Another Teen Movie Episode Two: Attack of the Wannabes

Then can't we just send them to see Valley Girl, that early-80s piece of fluff with Nicholas Cage as a punk in love with a Valley girl? The soundtrack has Psychedelic Furs, Modern English, Men at Work, and "Johnny Are You Queer?" on it. Then we could do something more productive with the tens of millions of dollars that "Sk8r Boi" would cost -- like gather all that money into a big pile, set it on fire, and roast marshmallows.

Shi Huangdi · May 30, 2003, 02:31

Well that would reduce inflation.

And I do like marshmellows.

Shi Huangdi · May 30, 2003, 02:50

Anyway, I guess my point is, yes she is an idiot. She is a moron and produces music that is not really punk(for that look at groups such as AFI or Sick of it All). But I think anyone who is going to be popular with today's teenage youth in the age of pop is destined to be an idiot. And I think it may be favorable having someone like Avril be the chief #1 idiot then somebody like Britney Spears or have that position shared by a boy band. The fake puke-ness of Avril, I think, is a lesser evil then the hard core prepiness of somebody like Spears. I would hope maybe there was some chance the anti-prepiness and anti-social status discrimination in Lavigne's music could translate to somewhat more egalitarian values then what you would find with Speers.

God, guys, I didn't believe you'd actually swallow the loads of crap I posted here, esp. after posts like:

Has the constant presence of people like Tassadar, and paiktis taught you NOTHING?

One of these days they'll make a movie and nobody will come. That day is soon approaching.
