All "Nice Guys" need to watch Swingers. Now.

[Taverner]

Who cares that it was written by Vince Vaughn, who is a racist Republican scumbag.

The movie is gold...and it pretty much spells out dating....

Nuff said...guys? Back me up on this one?

[Stephanie]

1. Vince Vaughn has the worst nose job in show biz

Seriously bad nose job.

[Taverner]

2. Vince Vaughn is a racist cretin

But he did co-write a great freshman script.

[progmom]

3. I love that scene where he keeps calling her answering machine

:rofl:

[Taverner]

5. Oh yeah...that was so funny yet soooo painful to watch

When I watch that movie again, I have to cringe at that part...

[soothsayer]

Best. Scene. Ever. (well, in that movie for sure!)

[WeRQ4U]

4. Hell of a flick

His political pursuasion is secondary.

[gmoney]

6. Which side though?

The Vaughn approach, or the Favreau approach? I mean doesn't the ending paint Vaughn's character as being totally full of shit, while Favreau's character gets the girl?

[Taverner]

8. Not really

Favreau is getting NOWHERE! In the end, though, you have to get over your pain and just get on with it. The scene where Favreau finally 'gets it' (when he meets Heather Graham) he's is adopting Vaughn's stragegy - he sees her as the bunny rabbit.

And again, the movie sums it up that you have to trust your instincts.

[gmoney]

13. Maybe the truth lies somewhere in the middle...

I guess at the beginning, Vaughn and Favreau are on opposite ends of the spectrum, and during the course of the movie, Favreau takes some cues from Vaughn, grows into himself, and cowboys up a little bit to get the girl, while remaining a good guy. Vaughn on the other hand, remains an asshole who will probably never grow up.

I don't know, it's been quite a while since I've seen it. I'll have to give it a spin this weekend.

7. I didn't know Vince Vaughn was a racist repub.

Damn and I liked him.

[PunkPop]

10. Me neither.

I wasn't aware of that. Of course, I didn't know Kinky Friedman was good buddies with the Bushes either.

Anything online in the way of more details about things he's said or done?

[Shell Beau]

16. I couldn't find anything about him being racist,

but there was plenty on him being repub.

[Taverner]

18. The racist part is all anectodotal

Gossip sites and whatnot. Wifey is a big gossip hound.

[Shell Beau]

21. Oh! Do you remember any instances?

I am just curious b/c it would seriously change my opinion on him. I can handle (barely) the republican (hey,everyone has their faults even if that is a pretty bad fault), but I can't handle the other.

[Taverner]

23. Hmmm well one hairdresser

Said she cut his hair and he was a lousy tipper, and always made jibes about the arabs in LA, and how they ruined downtown...also made lots of jabs about mexicans.

[Taverner]

17. Strangely enough, Kinky has been good friends with several prez's

Including Clinton and Carter. He's also friends with Imus, and Howard Stern...as well as Willie Nelson.

My guess is Kinky is just not able to be pigeon holed into politics. Hope he doesn't become Governor tho...

9. Swingers is a good movie.

It's unfortunate that you have to play by the "rules". These games are the thing I hate most about dating. So obnoxious that you can't just be yourself.

[redqueen]

11. Fuck the rules.

I do what I want, when I want.

Is it a good movie? I haven't seen it...

[SuperWonk]

12. Swingers...

classic - back before vince started played the same part in every movie.

[Taverner]

14. But the 'rules' exist for every game

And the 'rules' have been around for longer than homo sapiens have...every animal species has their rules...whether it be the dance of mating cranes or snakes...

[Nicholas D Wolfwood]

15. Yeah, yeah, I know.

I'm just one of those weird types of people who prefer to just be myself though. Call me crazy if you will.

[Taverner]

20. But you are never yourself, even when you are being yourself

As the old saying goes, you see yourself as you think others see you.

Looking glass self.

[Nicholas D Wolfwood]

22. Maybe if you're pretending to be something to please everyone else.

There is a definite "me" though, and I prefer to be it whenever possible.

[redqueen]

24. I'm into evolution, baby.

NOT games.

[Debi]

19. Swingers ROCKS

So sad about VV :cry:

[Tyrone Slothrop]

25. I hated that movie

I've tried to watch it several times and have never been able to finish it.

There are no appealing characters in it, and there are numerous scenes that make me cringe watching them.
