    the problem I had with Superbad is that the main character came of as a huge douchebag to me. I could never find a reason to root for the guy to succeed, it seemed like he kept pulling dick moves on all of his friends.

    I know this isn't a superbad thread, but it was ok...I thought it was going to be funnier...Don't get me wrong, it had some funny parts, but it wasn't consistently funny...I guess its' the same crap over and over again...

    I thought Superbad was pretty damn funny, the funniest of the last couple years, though? I'd put Hot Fuzz and Knocked up at the top of that list (and I haven't seen Forgetting Sarah Marshall yet).

    From the pics this movie looks like it's just copying a lot of the elements of Superbad. Is it supposed to be one of those generic sequels?

    Me too.

    I believed the hype and went to see it. I came out before the movie finished. It was a super boring movie.

    Maybe it is just because I am not young anymore. I really didn't get it why the movie was funny.

    Juno = overrated
    Superbad = super badass
    Forgetting Sarah Marshall = awesome movie

    This seriously looks like a cheap knock off of Superbad... pretty sure it will end up like an American Pie-type move, which I believe was mediocre.

    Porky's still rules!

    I have a movie idea:

    75 students arrested in San Diego University drug bust By ALLISON HOFFMAN, Associated Press Writer


    SAN DIEGO - Dozens of San Diego State University students were arrested after a sweeping drug investigation found that some fraternity members openly dealt drugs and one even sent a mass text message advertising cocaine, authorities said Tuesday.

    Two kilograms of cocaine were seized, along with 350 Ecstasy pills, mar1juana, psychedelic mushrooms, hash oil, methamphetamine, illicit prescription drugs, several guns and at least $60,000 in cash, authorities said.

    Of the 96 people arrested, 75 were students. Eighteen of the students were arrested Tuesday when nine search warrants were executed at various locations including fraternities, said Jesse Rodriguez, San Diego County assistant district attorney.

    The undercover probe, dubbed Operation Sudden Fall, was sparked by the cocaine overdose death of a student in May 2007, authorities said. As the investigation continued, another student, from Mesa College, died Feb. 26 of a cocaine overdose at an SDSU fraternity house, the DEA said.

    Those arrested included a student who was about to receive a criminal justice degree and another who was to receive a master's degree in homeland security.

    "A sad commentary is that when one of these individuals was arrested, they inquired as (to) whether or not his arrest and incarceration would have an effect on him becoming a federal law enforcement officer," said Ralph Partridge, special agent in charge of the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration in San Diego.

    Some defendants were scheduled to appear in state court to face charges Tuesday.

    During the probe investigators discovered that in some fraternities most members were aware of "organized drug dealing occurring from the fraternity houses by its members," the DEA said in a news release.

    "Undercover agents purchased cocaine from fraternity members and confirmed that a hierarchy existed for the purpose of selling drugs for money," the DEA said.

    The district attorney's office said search warrants were served in San Diego and suburban La Mesa, including the Theta Chi fraternity house and several apartments.

    A member of Theta Chi sent out a mass text message to his "faithful customers" stating that he and his "associates" would be unable to sell cocaine while they were in Las Vegas over one weekend, according to the DEA. The text promoted a cocaine "sale" and listed the reduced prices.

    Theta Chi's San Diego chapter declined to comment.

    "We're talking to our advisers," said John Phillips, a past president of the chapter.

    Theta Chi, founded in 1856, has 131 chapters in the U.S. and Canada and more than 161,000 initiates.

    University police and federal drug agents worked together in the investigation, making more than 130 undercover drug buys were made at locations including fraternity houses, student parking areas and dormitories, authorities said.

    Shawn Collinsworth, executive director of the national office of Phi Kappa Psi, said he was told by two of the SDSU fraternity chapter's leaders that four of its members were arrested. He said the fraternity is cooperating with the investigation.

    "It isn't behavior becoming of Phi Kappa Psi," Collinsworth said.

    San Diego State is one of the largest schools in California's state university system with about 34,000 students. The campus has an active network of fraternities and sororities.

    Me too. James Franco should do more movies like this. I really like his character from just watching the trailer.
