Swingers is an average movie.

But I read your post on the second page Icesickle and you're implying you think all Blacks are a certain way then you're mistaken. You act like Blacks can't be well-spoken, intelligent, and hold down good jobs. Corporations like Sprite, AOL, etc. have many Black executives. Admit that was a racist comment thinly veiled in your reply on the second page and be a man. I mean, You know it was, why not man up to it already?

"about as Black as you are.."

I guess stereotypes determine ones Blackness ugh? You're an idiot.

Are you joking?

Jesus your an idiot. You try to argue a point by arguing something entirely different.

Are you kidding too? You can't see how that would be an analogous situation, one which plays off my comparison of Swingers to Clueless?

Like some people in this thread have said, what I'm saying is common sense. I feel like I'm teaching Cultural Studies 101, albeit badly.

Here's a quick quiz - I'm sure everyone will come up with the same answer.

Becky Bozworth is a 18 year old blond haired, blue eyed girl WASP who lives in Orange County, California in a $2 Million house. Her father is a corporate lawyer, her mother is vice president of a advertising company. She sits down one night to watch TV. Ranked from #1-#4, what shows do you think she'll be more likely to watch (i.e. the majority of Beckys would watch):

A)The OC
B)Sex in the City
C)King of Queens
D)Girlfriends
If you understand it's common sense, why spend your ENTIRE DAY ARGUING THIS BULLSHIT?

Because someone didn't understand it, and thought I was just making it up. I have a lot of time on my hands at work and thought I'd clear it up via an example. No need to try to joke me for it; save those kinds of dangerously witty retorts for your script.

icesickle, do me a favor, at 10 pm, get whatever friends you have, and decide to take a light night drive to vegas. if you've never even been to vegas, you shouldn't even began to fathom swingers... u obviously don't go out from club to club and party to party hitting on women...do these things first, and than go rewatch swingers...it's a straight up guy movie...something you obviously cannot relate to.

Everyone that doesn't like Swingers hasn't gone to a club to hit on women?

I got a girl to strip on a pole in a metro train last week with my boys. They don't have trains in Vegas.

And for the last time, I like the movie. I just don't get hyped up and think it's the 90s Animal House like some people.
