I was on the IMDB looking up actors and television show and such cause its one of my hobbies( my mind is an endless game of six degrees of separation) and I like to make sure that the information in there stays fresh cause things have a tendency to jumble together in there and hilarity always ensues! Anyway I was checking out the upcoming movies and " She's The Man" 2006 happened to catch my eye yes I know it's an Amanda Bynes movie but it has Vinny Jones and the guy who was the red ranger on PowerRangers SPD( see 6 degrees)
so anyway I was in here and decided to read some of the forum post and was going through and saw this thread. "JUST ONE OF THE GUYS??????" so I clicked on it and was reading away when my eyes came upon this little gem " SHAKESPEARE'S WRITING SUCKS"
so of course I felt complied to reply:
but before we get to said reply I give you a brief break down
She's The Man(2006) starring Amanda Bynes - is a modern interpretation of William Shakespeare's Twelfth Night ( yes I read Shakespeare to be so surprised) the only difference is that in stead of her dressing up as a solider in the guise of her brother she's on the soccer team.
Just One Of The Guys (1985) starring Joyce Hyser - if I had to compare it to something else would have to be Yentl. In this 80's classic you have a girl who want to be taken seriously as a journalist but believes this will never happen because she believes that all people see is her pretty face. So she decides to change schools and genders( you still with me??) Ends up falling in love with this guy she becomes friends with and during a dance/party/prom thing show said boy that she is really a girl buy flashing him some breast.
Yentl (1983) starring Barbra Streisand - is a movie that is based on the book Yentl, the Yeshiva Boy by Isaac Bashevis Singer. In said story Yentl is a girl(only child) who is taught how to read an write by her father in a time when girls didn't learn such things. Her father dies and she decides she want to learn more and she want to learn nothing more than the Torah. She goes and in roles in a school( dressed as a man) and makes friends with this guy Avigdor ( played by Mandy Patinkin...he was in the Princes Bride he was looking for the six fingered man that killed his father " I am Inigo Montoya You Killed My Father Prepare to Die") who is in love with this girl Haddas ( played by Amy Irving she was the singing voice for Jessica Rabbit In Who Framed Roger Rabbit or if that don't ring any bells she was the wife that Robert De Niro's split personality killed in the bath tub in Hide and Seek) Avigdor and Haddas are to be wed but Avigdor's brother commits suicide and the wedding is called off so Yentl steps in and weds Haddas( I am not making this up people) anyway sometime goes past and Yentl has fallen in love with Avigdor and confesses to him that she is really a girl and flashes him some breast.
So unless Amanda Bynes is planning on flashing some breast it should not even be compared to these other films.
( so heres my forum reply)
Shakespeare's Writing Sucks?!
ok so if that's the case then any movie that has come out over the past I don't know 80 or so years are all just retelling and reinterpretations of plays that were written by Shakespeare! and other classic authors ( basically anyone who's name has ever appeared on a summer reading list) so the man couldn't have sucked that badly to get rip off by Hollywood so many times.
and for the whole Just One Of The Guys is more well known? this is a movie that came out when like 1985? and the only reason anyone even remember it is for the one scene case in point
Friend:
Hey man what was the name of that one movie we watched at your house on cable last week?
Guy:
Which movie are you talking about?
Friend:
you know the movie man!
Guy:
no I don't !!!
Friend:
you know the movie were the girls dresses up like a boy and then shows her breasts to that one guy at a party/prom thing
Guy:
oh ooh that was a what that joint err oh yeah "Dressed As A Guy or something"
Friend:
yeah that's it that girl was hot I wonder what she's doing now??
( brief silence as he stares at his friend before replying)
Guy:
I don't know but I remember seeing her on an episode of "NightMan"
honestly how many people have had that conversation??? its never man that was one of the best movies I've ever seen no... it is and always will be the movie with the girl that dresses as a guy( not to be confused with Yentl) yes I liked it ill admit it but I was like what 6 when I first saw it like most young boys I was happy with the thought of seeing a girls belly button yet alone be exposed to BREASTS!!( oh yes I had to capitalize that)why cause for that is there only clear memory of said movie.
So it is in this time that i say that we the people spend to much time deleved into holywoods land of make beleave and yes this goes for me as well... so before we just jump up and say something sucks we should even if its just once in a blue moon go and get aquanted with the source material in many cases the book is always better than the movie!
This is what happens when you are an Writer/Actor/Comedien you overflow with information overloads...sometimes its good and sometimes small children go
Child:
" mommy why is that man talking to himself?"
Mother:
"its because his brain is broken honey!"
You gotta love a movie where the main characters are women pretending to be men pretending to be women





Nice one
