One of the greatest scenes in the history of cinema.

that line is still in the movie.
All SMG says there is "Peace out? Moron!"

I was wondering about this movie. When I read the back of the box, I couldn't see any difference between it and the first movie. I realize that sequels generally follow a similar storyline, but they were almost identical.

This makes sense.

Yeah, I tried liking this movie, but boy does it stink to high heaven. I never thought it had a high following either.

Who cares if it's a milestone anniversary. I don't know a soul who liked this film.

I know that. It just boggles my mind this gets a full week re-release, like "Close Encounters" did. I can see maybe one night only and one showtime.

That I would most definitely agree with.

Re: The Cruel Intentions appreciation thread

Did anyone see the Cruel Intentions TV Pilot that never made air? It leaked on the net a few years ago. SMG returned and the story was set up revolving the older son of Witherspoon and Philippe’s characters. They used a different actor to play Witherspoon’s character. I actually found it fun and it was a little risqué for network TV.

I didn't know that leaked. I was looking forward to that and was surprised it didn't get picked up anywhere. I'll have to check it out.

Enjoyed the movie back in the day, but wasn't interested in the TV series that never came to be.

Re: The Cruel Intentions appreciation thread

Welcome back to Manchester Prep. In 1999, audiences gaped (and gasped) as Hollywood’s teen royalty engaged in sexual debauchery and 1-percenter power games in Roger Kumble’s erotic, darkly comedic modern classic, which returns to theaters Friday in honor of its 20th anniversary.

Here, in an EW exclusive, the filmmakers and cast members revisit the original tale of gossip girls and pretty little liars.

Always remember the parody in Not Another Teen Movie.

I've never seen this movie. Wasn't it supposed to be a remake of Dangerous Liasons?

Yeah, somewhat of a modern take on the story. Worth checking out for the SMG/Selma Blair kissing scene alone.

Or just watch the moment on YouTube and save yourself the trouble of watching the rest.

I liked this film. I'm a fan of mean spirited dark comedies and this is certainly one of those.

Yup, a direct one and a strong one to boot. You have to think that Phillipe is doing a Malcovich impression but the rest of the performances are kind of their own thing.
It was a smart adaptation in the sense that the original was all about one's reputation and how valuable that is. Moving the setting to High School at the Millennium was a clever concept because your reputation absolutely matters there and is as important as anything.
