CanadianGuitarist Posted June 29, 2006 Report Posted June 29, 2006 I mean, come on. There is no way this could possibly be anything less than tried, ridiculous and stupid.
MarvinisaLunatic Posted June 29, 2006 Report Posted June 29, 2006 I saw the trailer on HDNets nothing but trailers..I dont think it seemed that bad.
SuperJerk Posted June 29, 2006 Report Posted June 29, 2006 Weren't there people on this board that defended "White Chicks", though?
RepoMan Posted June 29, 2006 Report Posted June 29, 2006 As an agnostic, its shit like this that makes me lean towards athieism.
razazteca Posted June 29, 2006 Report Posted June 29, 2006 How can you defend a Shawn & Marlon Wayans movie? Their career peaked with Don't be a Menance and Scary Movie because they had help from their brother Keenan Ivory.
Exslade ZX Posted June 29, 2006 Report Posted June 29, 2006 How can you defend a Shawn & Marlon Wayans movie? Their career peaked with Don't be a Menance and Scary Movie because they had help from their brother Keenan Ivory. You can't..because people who hate them, hate them. And they're dead set on it. So there is no 'defending'. Regardless, I like the Wayans brothers. Well, I have never liked Shawn, but I'm a fan of marlon Wayans. I liked White Chicks. I still watch the Wayans Bros (the show). And I'll probaly be seeing this. No need to defend why. Cheap laughs? Sometimes, bad comedy? Yea, but it involves laughs. It's funny. But of course that's just personal opinion.
Your Paragon of Virtue Posted June 29, 2006 Report Posted June 29, 2006 I'm not gonna be watching this, I only watched one scene out of White Chicks on Youtube (Terry Crews baby), but I will say that Marlon Wayans is actually a decent actor.
Hawk 34 Posted June 29, 2006 Report Posted June 29, 2006 Damon and Marlon are the only real decent actors out of that entire family, as Shawn is the worst of the bunch. Shawn drags Marlon down completely. Marlon needs to go back to dramas again.
Ced Posted June 29, 2006 Report Posted June 29, 2006 Two thoughts went through my head after seeing the commercial 1. "Shit, another Wayans comedy." 2. "They're stealing an idea from a Bugs Bunny cartoon."
Special K Posted June 29, 2006 Report Posted June 29, 2006 Damon and Marlon are the only real decent actors out of that entire family, as Shawn is the worst of the bunch. Shawn drags Marlon down completely. Agreed, (there's a reason he was SW1) although I think Keenan definitely has a ton of charisma, though no range. I can't ever hate on someone who co-wrote "Hollywood Shuffle" though. I love that fucking movie.
Dr. Zaius Posted June 29, 2006 Report Posted June 29, 2006 Two thoughts went through my head after seeing the commercial 1. "Shit, another Wayans comedy." 2. "They're stealing an idea from a Bugs Bunny cartoon." My thoughts exactly.
Man Who Sold The World Posted June 29, 2006 Report Posted June 29, 2006 I saw it at my job. What you'd expect with a few cameos thrown in and Tracy Morgan's P-Unit (which should get a chuckle or a tired "blah".). I wouldn't go see it at the movies unless it's packed, otherwise it's a good rent.
Damaramu Posted June 29, 2006 Report Posted June 29, 2006 Which one is Marlon and which one is Shawn again?
Exslade ZX Posted June 29, 2006 Report Posted June 29, 2006 Quick google probaly would have got you a faster answer...but anyways http://images.hollywood.com/images/large/l_470599.jpg Marlon on left, Shawn on right.
Ravenbomb Posted June 29, 2006 Report Posted June 29, 2006 Marlon gave a hell of a performance in Requiem for a Dream. I haven't seen Shawn do anything good
HollywoodSpikeJenkins Posted June 29, 2006 Report Posted June 29, 2006 Marlon was awesome in Dungeons and Dragons.
Ravenbomb Posted June 29, 2006 Report Posted June 29, 2006 well anybody would look good next to that lame Wil Wheaton type guy
King Kamala Posted June 29, 2006 Report Posted June 29, 2006 Marlon was awesome in Dungeons and Dragons. My best friend cried when Marlon Wayans died in that movie when we saw it in theaters. He was 13 years old at the time. Yes, he is one lame ass white boy.
SuperJerk Posted June 30, 2006 Report Posted June 30, 2006 Marlon was awesome in Dungeons and Dragons. I should hurt you for reminding me that movie ever even existed.
Gary Floyd Posted June 30, 2006 Report Posted June 30, 2006 Marlon was awesome in Dungeons and Dragons.
Jericholic82 Posted July 1, 2006 Report Posted July 1, 2006 I liked the wayans bros tv show and dont be a menace. white chicks was ok for a dumb laugh. Little Man, Id probably watch it, but not going to run out an dpay 10 bucks at the theater.
Ripper Posted July 4, 2006 Report Posted July 4, 2006 I blame shawn for all this shit. If something were to happen to him, Marlon could go on and have a great career, but every goddamn time Marlon does something good for himself, you can just see Shawn poping up and saying "Now we should do a movie together!!" Damon and marlon are all the talent, although Low Down Dirty Shame was the SHIT when it came out (it has aged horribly, but hey.) Plus...keenan played in Glimmer Man. Steven Segal killin niggas with credit cards, man....Credit cards. You can't hate on anyone that had anything to do with that movie.
Hawk 34 Posted July 4, 2006 Report Posted July 4, 2006 I'm disapointed that Marlon and Damon don't work together as often as they should (if ever). Damon and Marlon can act, Keenan can direct/produce but I guess they all got to sink to Shawn's level so no one is left out. Why can't they be like the Baldwins? You don't see Alec going "Okay, fuck the great roles and award nominations, I gotta help Daniel and Billy out"
Shanghai Kid Posted July 5, 2006 Report Posted July 5, 2006 I agree with the idea that Shawn drags Marlon down. Marlon actually was doing some nice work by himself until the Wayans Bros TV show was canceled. Since than almost everything he's done has been with Shawn. Don't be a Menace is a classic and Scary Movie was good, but White Chicks was straight garbage and Little Man looks like it also. However these movies will always have an audience and people will go see it which will inspire more White Chickesque productions. I just don't know what the purpose of Marlon doing Requiem. "Yes I can do drama but I'd rather settle for the lowest form of comedy."
Guest pinnacleofallthingsmanly Posted July 6, 2006 Report Posted July 6, 2006 I think Shawn isn't really that bad. He's the straight man and actually makes Marlon seem funnier than he really is. I used to think Shawn was dragging Marlon down, but after watching alot of In Living Color, Wayans Brothers episodes and other Wayans-related things, I've noticed little nuances. It seems as though Shawn styles himself after Keenan and tried to develop a formula based on the In Living Color days. I tried watching Senseless recently and it was Marlon doing his Wayans Brothers routine without a laugh track. He didn't have Shawn to play off of and it was terrible.

Yeah...Marlon is why senseless sucked. That script would have been gold in the hands of a better comedian....
Lord of The Curry Posted July 7, 2006 Report Posted July 7, 2006 Marlon was very good in Requiem For A Dream. Shame his career peaked with that one role.
