..mess with my lady and it's a wrap!

the protagonist/hero should never be constructed as such a chump.

what the hell you mean "nothing is worth fighting for?", i guess he learned the impractical reality of that statement in the end, but still - he should have got at the bully(s) and stood up for himself just a lil' more.
you root for mitchell all the way, but can't help but feeling he had more to learn about manhood.

people keep saying "it's a kid's movie", but lemme tell you something, those characters looked nothing like "kids"(?!), 'brink!' is a "kid's" movie (even though it focuses more on aggressive skaters) - as young as 13 where i come from, you grab somebody's girl and it's on and poppin' - period...nerd or not.

how's she ever supposed to feel safe? alright i'm done.

Maybe in the old days when women were "decent". But nowadays , you don't fight over these chicks anymore. That's stupid. You fight, you go to jail, she sleeps around anyway. Now you feel dumb.

Plus most women don't like that anymore thanks too the feminist movement (until they get in real trouble, that is, then they are begging for a MAN TO SAVE THEM) lol

LOL, i hear you bro.

reminds me of a scenario i saw once, where a guy slaps a girl, then the girl's boyfriend punches him square in the jaw falling over, then the girl rushes to the guy that slapped her, kneels down next to him like

"omg! look what you did to him!!"

SMH

one, no one would want to mess with your jabba the hutt looking woman because she is fat and rides a rascal. What he meant when he said it wasn't worth fighting for was that he was going back to California soon and since he wasn't getting any play from this almost decent looking girl he was moving on. let's face it, a guy like you who claims he would beat up someone for messing with his overweight girlfriend would most likely just get laid out. I bet you have been knocked out a few times, you can barely grasp the English language.

[–] frantz_sl 11 years ago

i really hope you're not a minor, because i'm gonna talk to you LIKE A MAN right now.

first of all F*UCK YOU "albert"*! if you have the balls to read this entire message, and the common decency of self-reflection, you'll think a little harder before picking fights on the internet. i've been knocking out imdb trolls like you for 8 years.

jabba the hutt looking woman?!? huh? i guarantee i've smashed & forgotten badder bitches than you will ever imagine...and i don't even know you, lol. the way you condescend women alone shows me you could never attain the caliber of women i run with sir. but what the f*uck would you know?...you probly spend your days jerkin off to little house on the prairie in your basement.

now, regarding airborne (which happens to be one of my favorite skater-influence movies ever), it DOESN'T MATTER whether you've f*ucked a girl yet or not dude, once you express romantic interests to her (date to botanical gardens qualifies), you defend her honor PERIOD! plus, brittney powell in the 90's WAS worth fighting for you punk. the difference between me and you bro, is that Jack would've gotten a fight outta me WIN or LOSE. you don't get to violate my civil rights based on the way i feel about my girl. Jack would've gotten YOUR BACK outta you...running away...abandoning your girl at the restaurant, and your cousin losing respect for you, all in the same day, as seen in the film.
if you graduated high school, you'll be familiar with the phrase:

"if you don't stand for something, you'll fall for everything"

see i respect STAND-UP GUYS, you respect COWARDICE -- that makes you a bitch. go and say that to yourself in the bathroom mirror right now #bitch
but what the f*uck would you know?...you idolize a failed actor that fell off 20 years ago. Matthew Laborteaux, but Matthew NO LABOR since 1993 *chuckle*

re-read my un-edited first post, i stated originally that the message, a few of the characters and many aspects of mitchell's personality in the film ARE positive, but an opportunity was missed to promote self-esteem from the protaginist...and while you're there, locate where i have difficulty grasping the english language. don't let my avatar fool you dumbass...god, i'm writing to an idiot, SMH
no, you really ARE an idiot, because if mitchell was "moving on" as you claim, why did he bother begging and pleading for nikki's forgiveness? watch the film thoroughly and plan out your statements next time.

"overweight girlfriend", HEH! you make me laugh dude. show me the last woman you f*ucked, i'll be sure to open the .jpg with an empty stomach. and to be honest, i pray you never have to encounter the fistfights i've been in my friend.

i await your response, so take your time, use spellcheck, and make it worth my f*ucking time.

*i address you as albert, even though my conscience tells me you're just another internet dork afraid to use you real identity, hiding behind the moniker of a fictional character...lol, loser.

now go and eat a mayonnaise sandwich, and try not to shoot up any schools please.

@frantz_sl

this post going on between you and the troll was an epic read!

i came on here cause I loved the movie it was so nostalgic but this thread really made my day! 😎

[–] Albert_Ingalls 11 years ago

wow..I seemed to hit a nerve. Look, just because your woman is a 300 pund lard ball that smells like old cheese is no need to go get all ghetto on me. I just state facts and you seem like the kind of guy who has no standards and would date a 300 pound woman. As for fighting, I wouldn't want to waste my time on you. I'm sure you a re one of those 100 pound punks who live in their mom's basement playing on the internet all day pretending to be someone special when you know that you are just a smelly little freak of nature who lives in a basement and works at taco bell. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure it is a good life for a guy like you with nothing more than a GED. Who's going to hire you? Taco Bell. Good for you, I am glad you have found your fat lard ball woman and live with your momma. I'd show you a picture of my latest conquest but the the fact is that you would most likely abuse yourself to the photo to the point of injury. So maybe, just maybe, some day you will grow up and move out into the world. Maybe go for it and get a job at Pizza Hut? I wish you the best, buddy!

[–] frantz_sl 11 years ago

MmmmmNAAAH! your first post was funnier bro.

anyway, i'm gonna go ahead and quit this argument...because..you know, abe lincoln once said,

"never argue with a fool. from a distance, you can’t tell who's who"

hope you had a merry christmas and a happy new year.

The machismo in this thread is pathetic.

[–] frantz_sl 9 years ago

that's not nice adam, you hit reply just to say that? great use of your time.

this debate was a while ago, but i find the discipline delivered valid (as did others)...either that, or i stay silent and make whateverhisnameis think it was okay to say what he said.

maybe i'm the one that wasted my time though. clicking my e-mail notification, assuming someone actually had something substantial to say...

#pathetic
