pardon the title, my bruise is omega red and bigger than ever. stupid koh i thought if i rubbed it it'd get better?!
step up 2 is all about the dance that's all NOTHING MORE. bitch i can take in the lame plot but give me bearable dialogue please! i went in there expecting bad plot bad acting cos it's a DANCE movie, but man, some parts i wanted to poke my eye out. den helped smuggle some alcohol in which i tried to numb the pain with. cept that it was like 6% so it didnt really work.
ya ya we all know step up 2 is SUPPOSED to have a bad plot. we go watch it for the moves and maybe the songs. like we watch die hard for the special effects and bombs. jackie for the stunts. and harold and kumar cos i want to marry harold. but here's a list of the worst bits bout step up 2. spoilers ahead be warned.
THINGS ABOUT STEP UP 2 THAT MAKE ME WANNA LALA
1) this movie is racist. why must andy's 2 best friends be black/hispanic whatever huh. why must andy's mom's best friend be black huh. WE GET IT that andy is not a princess and that she's been roughin' it out in da hood ok! ya andy is supposed to be tough hood rat (which she reminds us by saying ' i am not some prissy princess' or some shit when the channing tatum guy asks her to go to MSA) but what. tough white girls have black best friends?? cos they are too tough for other princessy white girls?? bullshit i tell u. to remind the viewer that andy is not our typical white girl princess, they decide to make her stalk through the halls of MSA (with a very hood 'dont mess cuz mah homies will be on your back' stance no less) and then have her bang into a cello carrying geek so that andy can growl ' watch it' in a fearsome manner to reflect her street cred.
2) we do not care about the characters' inner struggles. stop wasting time trying to make chaze seem deeper than he really is. get andy to stop talking bout texas or her mother cos i really dont care. we are wasting time here. why are they sitting on a frigging tree trying to be deep and soulful when they should be out dancing! we paid to see headspins and isolations performed by shallow dancers, not contrived pensive shit! now get off that tree and start dancing.
3) did u guys see andy's attempt at a national day rally?! zomg. the part at the club when she climbed onto the podium and spouted shit like ' it's not about what u've got, it's bout making good of what u've got.' and 'dance is about...not...' damn i forsee pesky teenagers using those lines for the msn nicks.
ZOMG and at the moment when she starts speaking, the headmaster dude has to come in?? ooh perfect timing i say. he even had the audicity to look impressed. the rain was ugh. but i forgive, cos it made the dance omega cool. but andy jumping onto the headmaster when he tells her to come back to school?? in the rain?? damn that was painful.
i say, buy a dvd and fast forward to the dance scenes. saves time, saves pain.
wong the atomic bomb
