Can someone explain to me what this movie is about? I mean my ghetto is a little outdated but I have no clue what that title\'s supposed to mean.
From the 6 second previews it looks like a combination of Westside Story and Fast and the Furious. It\'s got that one dude who can stand on his head diagonally and slide, and then enimem gets in the face of some dude from KrisKross and is saying \'get your serve on\' or something like that. And then Lil\' Kim is talking about Old Navy hooded sweatshirts or something. And I think there was a basketball b/c there\'s some rule that if you have a movie and there\'s more than 4 black guys in it you have to put basketball in there somewhere.
-
Its about break dancing.
Bleh... Stupid. ****ing stupid.
-
Sometimes I say its not too fair to judge a movie by the previews, but this is an exception. I think my tongue started bleeding I bit it so hard when I heard that white guy say, "You got served!"
Never, ever, ever, will see it. I hope everyone responsible for its production dies in a fire.
-
I might go see it, just to hear the music...If I do go see it, It\'s either b/c I got free tickets or I went movie hopping.
-
"You suckas jus got served!"
:crap:

Ironically, they are all waiters at the Cheesecake Factory.

Want proof only morons like this movie?
Today in North Las Vegas there was a huge brawl at a movie theater because all of these simple minded people tried to sneak into one of "You Got Served" \'s sold out shows. And then the people in there got pissed and they all got arrested! Man those people do not deserve to live.
-
Wait, that movie had sold out showings?!?!?
Pathetic
-
Hell yeah Sucka!
I camped out!

Las Vegas is a breeding site for morons. Me and Stapler are obvious exceptions, however if you live here you will see just how stupid the people are here. It sold out at Texas Station (a casino with a theater in it). If you got arrested over fighting to see something as worthless as "You got Served", I seriously think that the death penalty would justify their worthlessness.
-
(mm mode)
what? you guys just don\'t know good cinema. that movie will rank as one of the highest rated in years to come! (mode off) ;)
-
Seeing how b2k is so popular all the lil girs will be running out too see it.
I\'ll eventually end up seeing it over someones house on dvd.

I still have to see "Drumline"... sorta like a buildup to a crescendo of fine entertainment.
You know, I\'ve been wanting to sit in a theatre with a bunch of ignorant, welfare-collecting baby machines, listening to arguments conducted across the theatre, while 47 cell phones ring and see a movie about street dancing.
When are they going to make movies for 30-year-old white men who have jobs and pay taxes?
Oh, wait... Lord of the Rings came and went... :rolleyes:
No racism intended... I am just sick of the fact that I live 3 minutes from a 16-theatre complex, and I have to drive 35 minutes to find a theatre that people know how to behave in...

that\'s a wee bit ignorant on your part chizz. i\'ll be honest it\'s true that you will run into that scenario given the young black youth, but the same can be said about the young white youth..And if i last remember there are more white people on welfare than black. it\'s just glamored on tv that most blacks take advantage of it.

YES!!!!!!!!! THEY ARE MADE FOR PEOPLE IN GENERAL!!!!!!
quit your bitchin
This is by far the dumbest thing I have ever seen you post.
-
Actually, if you notice, I never mentioned anything about the rude ignorant people in the theatre being black...
quite an assumption on all your parts.
And the comment about movies for 30 yr old white guys who have jobs and pay taxes was directed only at myself, \'cos that\'s what I am. Interesting that you all assumed I was baggin\' on the brothers & sisters. I was only expressing disgust at irresponsible youth in general.

I didn\'t assume anything like that. I just think that almost all movies are targeted at 30 yo white guys.
-
Actually, I was aiming my reply at the others...brother. ;)
And movies are targeted at whoever will shell out the cabbage to see them.
-
Yeah and 30ish(and younger) white guys spend the most on stuff like that so they are targeted.

But of course you had to add the fact that you are white? Of course i understand it wasnt to distiguish yourself from others, brother:rolleyes: ;)

Gohan is always right please refrain from making yourselves look like asses when trying t argue against him. Ty.
-
And what exactly makes you think they target 30 yr old white men? That\'s right .....
There are movies out there that target them(hard to tell how), but there are ones that target blacks and teenagers hardcore.

Bounce = Very naive movie with a stupid premise.
Butterfly Effect = This has Ashton Kutcher and obviously delivers to the whole MTV generation.
Somethings Gotta Give = Romantic comedy for 30 year old women.

The fact that the average age of all movie viewers is 30ish with the majority being male. When a movie studio is targeting a black/latin/teen audience(niche) you know it as soon as you see a couple of the cast members. When I saw a commercial for "You got served" I knew who they were trying to get just like when I saw a commercial for "Cold Mountain". Its the same lucrative market that everyone targets. 18-45 yo white males.
-
Dude what are you talking about? If anything all of the movies are targeting young minorities. You Got Served is a perfect example. Majority of teenagers, black, latino and even white, will fall for anything involving some hip hop music and people moving on a screen fast.
All we\'re doing now is playing with stereotypes... When I stereotype an "average 30 year old, white male" I\'m thinking a little blue-collared and experienced.
Movies are targeting stupid teenagers. The End.

Aileen: The Life and Death of a Serial Killer
Actually, that is goin under the title \'Monster\' with Charline Therzon and Christina Ricci.

Cold Mountain I\'ll give you just because he is from the south. Even that is pushing it.
Lets think logically here. White people outnumber blacks probably 10 to 1. Would you be suprised if there are 10 times more white people in movies than blacks?
Call me crazy but in this case your sounding pretty racist.

^^^I\'m racist because I said the majority of Movies and TV shows are made for white guys?

Look up some viewer demographics. Something like 80% of viewers are between 18-48. 51% are male and 67% are white.
Which is the same demographic that all forms of media are after. Everything from TV to Magazines wants that demographic to be their "main" demo. That is why mostly everything is skewed to them. If you think that the majority of all media is not skewed towards that demo, than you are just not paying attention.

I usually never disagree with anything you, Ryu, Altered, or Lic say.
But then again...I eat my own poop.

Ok Gohan I want you to explain to me HOW not WHY movies are targetted at 30 year old males for that list you made.
I bet you can\'t. Or you\'ll just say you don\'t want to.

Its not easy to say EXACTLY how movies are targeted at 30 yo white males because they are the MAIN target. Still, I\'ll say that it is the same way "You got served" is NOT targeted at 30 year old white guys. Cast and content. If I see that Fiddy Sint is starring in a movie I know who they are targeting. The same way I can look at a movie starring someone like Russell Crowe or Tom Hanks and know who they are going after.
It\'s really not a race thing as much as it is a business thing.

Went to the movies last night and the oldest person I ever saw looked about 25.

I made this thread to make fun of this obviously ignorant movie. If you guys are not going to help me do that I will request somebody to close this. Cause I got connections. You suckas just got served.
Should I make that my new signature?

i\'d have to say it\'s a little bit of both..since the majority of people in the u.s. are white you are going to see more movies geared toward that audience. but there still is an audience for minorities as well,..there is still a profit & money to gain from these films even if the profit is small. while some minority themed movies do quite well (remembers the first week barbershop came out) Of course this has to do with what movies are being released as well.
bottom line is you will have white movies getting more support than minority type films being they are the majority.
ps: this movie "you just got served" seems to be a movie that\'s crossing all cultures white ,black, hispanic, like fast & the furious, but leaning a little more towards the black side of it. i\'m not sure if i\'m explaining myself clearly but hopefully you guys understand ;)

I liked the movie.. Bad acting and all.
First time I\'ve danced in a theater seat. :laughing:
