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.

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.

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

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?

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.

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.
― Exile in lolville (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Saturday, 24 March 2012 17:49 (twelve years ago) link
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.

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.

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.

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.

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."

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!
― imago, Wednesday, 3 June 2020 18:56 (three years ago) link
at least they're trying to do something for that vision i guess
