Guest jimmy no nose Posted August 16, 2002 Report Posted August 16, 2002 When I went to see XXX the other day they had a preview for "Stealing Harvard" starring Tom Green and The Man Jason Lee. I think it's going to be kind of tough for people to accept Tom Green as an actor who is in normal movies after Freddy Got Fingered and his TV show. What do you guys think? Is he still going to take a shot at making his own movies too? On a side note, how likely is it that there is some skateboarding in this movie? Tom Green and Jason Lee are both former pro skateboarders, so there has to have been some going on whether it was in the movie or not.
Guest Youth N Asia Posted August 16, 2002 Report Posted August 16, 2002 Shit...Tom Green's in it, so I must avoid it...but Jason Lee's in it, I must see it...I am torn Tom Green is not a good actor...he's just comfortable in front of a camera, that's it...he was good enough in Road Trip for the small part he had. He cannot carry a movie to save his life
Guest Karnage Posted August 16, 2002 Report Posted August 16, 2002 Tom Green and Jason Lee...its all good.
Guest What? Posted August 16, 2002 Report Posted August 16, 2002 Jason Lee is the only reason I'm going to see this movie. and Tom Green is currently a pro skateboarder, for Shithouse, I mean Birdhouse. (I'm sorry, ever since they dropped Heath Kirchart and Brian Sumner, they've really sucked)
Guest Sandman9000 Posted August 16, 2002 Report Posted August 16, 2002 Tom Green and normal don't go together. But nothing could be worse then Freddy Got Fingered.
Guest CoreyLazarus416 Posted August 16, 2002 Report Posted August 16, 2002 Is it safe to call Freddy Got Fingered one of the movies that is either you absolutely love it or absolutely hate it? I'll rent it. Jason Lee IS the man, and I'm a fan of Tom Green (fuck you, I liked Freddy Got Fingered).
Guest Karnage Posted August 16, 2002 Report Posted August 16, 2002 What's with all the Tom Green disliking?
Guest the pinjockey Posted August 16, 2002 Report Posted August 16, 2002 If Tom Green has a role like he did in Road Trip he can be really funny. I own Freddy Got Fingered on DVD, I think it is hilarious, but I don't think I want him to do another movie like that with him as the big star.
Guest Lethargic Posted August 16, 2002 Report Posted August 16, 2002 I seem to recall that when Tom Green signed to do Freddy that it was a contract for him to write and direct three movies. After the negativity of Freddy that might not come to be though. I bought it on DVD too. I love that movie. Anybody that doesn't find a bloody baby swinging around in the air funny is dead.
Guest Shaved Bear Posted August 16, 2002 Report Posted August 16, 2002 Tom Green is a one time gag thing, like if you see it for a second time it isnt funny anymore... except for one episode of his MTV show, when he dressed up as a soccer player and ran-in on all the little kids' games
Guest Kinetic Posted August 16, 2002 Report Posted August 16, 2002 People don't like Tom Green because his humor is very high concept, post-modernist stuff where there are no jokes and it isn't funny. I saw Freddy Got Fingered the other day, actually, and I have a lot of respect for Tom Green after that. It takes some big balls to make a movie that bad.
Guest CoreyLazarus416 Posted August 16, 2002 Report Posted August 16, 2002 Shaved, to disprove your theory of Tom Green not being funny twice: I have yet to meet anybody under the age of 25, in person, that hasn't laughed at the horse scenes in Freddy Got Fingered every time.
Guest C.H.U.D. Posted August 16, 2002 Report Posted August 16, 2002 Freddy Got Fingered is brilliant and hilarious, but a lot of people don't get the humour so they say the movie "sucks". I also saw the preview for Stealing Harvard and I can't wait to see it. Tom Green has 1st billing, which means he should get a lot of screen time. Oh yeah!
Guest Vern Gagne Posted August 16, 2002 Report Posted August 16, 2002 Freddy Got Fingered is brilliant and hilarious, but a lot of people don't get the humour so they say the movie "sucks". No people get the so called humor. They just prefer something that's more cleavor and intelligent than what Tom Green does.
Guest What? Posted August 16, 2002 Report Posted August 16, 2002 I have yet to meet anybody under the age of 25, in person, that hasn't laughed at the horse scenes in Freddy Got Fingered every time. Well, you haven't met me in person, but I'll tell you this much: Tom Green sucks His movies aren't funny, he sucks at skating (unlike Mark Appleyard) and he is dumb as a brick. Although his "Boy in a Bubble want to play Baseball" thing on his show cracks me up everytime. But his movies suck.

I found Freddy Got Fingered quite funny as well, but it wasn't a great movie. I don't think it sucked, but it wasn't great either. In that preview Tom Green got top billing, but the story seemed to focus more on Jason Lee in the clips shown. What is PG-13 Tom Green going to be like?
Guest LexLugerRules Posted August 17, 2002 Report Posted August 17, 2002 Freddy Got Fingered was funny as hell.
Guest C.H.U.D. Posted August 17, 2002 Report Posted August 17, 2002 he is dumb as a brick. Dumb as brick, eh? Yeah, he get's paid millions of dollars to have fun and goof off on TV and in movies. What a dummy.
Guest What? Posted August 18, 2002 Report Posted August 18, 2002 all right, the people that pay him are dumb as bricks. He's just unfunny
