WHY HAS there been no mention of 21 jUMP STREET 1st season being out on dvd NOW...

But to return to 21 Jump Street. This is great news, the feathered hair, the theme song, young Johnny Depp. And where is everyone now, Holly, Dom de Luise's kid and , um the Asian guy.

Revived 4 years later because it came up in another thread. This show was disappointing on second viewing -- I think I underestimated how large a role the soundtrack played in making the series compelling. Or maybe my crush on Johnny Depp back then blinded me to how meh the plots were. In either case, Tom Hanson's angst isn't as special with generic synthy music playing in the background.

SMDH

ugh, what in the hell?!

Nick Offerman and Rob Riggle (and everyone else involved, frankly) should sue to stop its release.

I want to watch this movie.

Me too, after seeing the extended trailer. Shit looks better than the original show while being drastically different.

It took A.O. Scott's review

What'd he say

Every review so far has been some variation of "way better/funnier than I expected." And they're all right.

Can you post the link to Morbs' review?

Here it is.

obv surpasses The Awful Truth

this movie was hilarious

LOLed all the way through it

total unexpected treat, this was super funny

Although I haven't seen it myself, I move that we go ahead and give 21 Jump Street the top spot in the poll by default. Everyone seems to think it's hilarious, and I'm sure everyone would agree that it's the newest contender for best comedy film of all time. I'd argue that the combination of hilarity and newness is a formula that no other film is gonna be able to trump. So let's just go ahead and do the right thing, yeah?

Whooooops. Being obnoxious in the wrong thread. Carry on, nuttin' to see here...

Yeah, this was kinda like the new Planet of the Apes movie, you go in expecting something stupid and hopefully entertaining and it winds up being pretty great. Maybe a little too self-aware and dense (there were a few side plots that just didn't go anywhere) but overall it was hilarious. It reminded me a lot of Hot Fuzz, how it really turned a lot of action movie cliches on their ears. Lots of jokes that most people in the theater (mostly teenagers) didn't get at all, which is rare for a movie like this. Channing Tatum actually did pretty well here. I had no idea he could be funny.

lol reading this was like walking in on somebody rehearsing in front of the mirror

Kinda how it felt, tbh. Proudly wearin' the egg...

This was pretty fun. Could not figure out where i knew Franco Jr. from (turned out it was cos he looked like James Franco)

James Franco's son is already acting??

the blue goblin

channing tatum was surprisingly good in this, brie larson reminded me of a young maura tierney, always good to see chris parnell

damn i just lold so hard at this trailer

you are in for a treat then my friend

i enjoyed this movie.

wish Brokeback Mountain was in production now so that Channing Tatum can play Ennis.

and Dave Franco is much, much weirder than his overrated bro.

Yup, far better and funnier than I expected. Bit too winky with certain soundtrack choices and casting, but still plenty of jokes that are great.

lol the whole time i was watching the movie i was thinking "who is this lame-ass franco wannabe??"

lol

Re-watch the pilot of this show on Netflix (if it's still up) to see some hilariously over the top racism. There this whitebread family eating breakfast when all of a sudden these 2 black guys who kind of look half old school hip hop, half Randy Jackson when he was the bassist in Journey just bust in the house and it turns out their son got mixed up dealing drugs with them or something. Plus, I remember they had Dustin Nguyen on there who clearly looks Vietnamese (which he is) or MAYBE Thai if you want to stretch it, but the show made all these references to him being Japanese because eh, fuck it, same thing.

i took my teenage son to this movie does that make me a bad parent?

no it makes you a good parent for taking your son to see a hilarious movie

wish Brokeback Mountain was in production now so that Channing Tatum can play Ennis.

omg his neck

l'd mbo

weird tonal mashup between the goofball absurdity and ott gore/body horror stuff tho

Well this was surprisingly hilarious.

New movie obv, not old show.

new one was pretty good, maybe a little too much meta-referencing and the pace was almost uncomfortably fast, but I did laugh a lot. probably the funniest ending credits sequence I've ever seen too.

both of these are great

I was the only person in the theater who laughed at the (v brief) Annie Hall homage in the second one :(

Man I laughed harder at 22 Jump Street than at any other movie released in the past couple of years.

Perhaps the lowest point is Jenks and Schmidt’s sing-song trivialization of the Miranda rights advisory.

turns out he liked The Lego Movie, although he couldn't resist throwing this in:

"Shill critics may praise The Lego Movie as thoughtlessly as they champion Pixar (and this film’s weak, unfocussed live-action framing device doesn’t hit hard enough to shake critics out of their lockstep hypemania) but just because reviewers confuse this with Pixar doesn’t mean that you should."

lol

sh®ill critics

please stop paying attention to this guy

In an e-mail to Ms. Pascal, Mr. Hill says “jump street merging with mib i think that’s clean and rad and powerful.”

Sounds like a real no-brainer to me.

absolutely ridiculous movie. absolutely hilarious too.

feel a bit bad for Lord/Miller atm - well, not them, they're not being oppressed, they're rich and successful - but for their vision. every single one of their films tries to imagine cops as these well-intentioned, responsible guardian figures and well look now, all their films are ageing badly in real-time. but they're good films!

at least they're trying to do something for that vision i guess
