Okay, so i finished watching the Rachel Leigh Cook-licious film "She's All That". And it's basically a John Hughes movie not written or directed by John Hughes.

However, one thing that stucks in my mind is:

WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENED TO THE DIRECTOR AND THE CAST?!

I mean, look:

Robert Iscove - Directed From Justin to Kelly

Freddie Prinze Jr. - Is now writing for WWE

Rachel Leigh Cook - Her famous role in the 21st century is.......A Drug PSA Ad.

Matthew Lilliard - Is stuck playing Annoying White Douchebags for the rest of his life

Gabrielle Union - Meet Dave

Dule Hill - Might have an Emmy, but still not a Hollywood household name

Clea Duvall - Dule Hill above

Kevin Pollak - Don't get me started.

Now, the only two stars who gets fame today are Anna Paquin and Paul Walker. But their fame will only reach the Christian Bale standard. And that's either a good thing or a bad thing.

But seriously, did this film caused a curse among the cast & crew? Did someone just cursed this movie as a punishment? Did Mike Nelson cursed this film as a punishment for Hollywood canceling MST3K?

I think the film served as a reminder to people how silly the 90's were, and made them eager to drop all the baggage they could before the new millenium.

I would be happy to reach the Chrisitan Bale standard since he is an AMAZING actor

I think "Not Another Teen Movie" did a great job lampooning this movie.

Maybe, but he gets to be on "Psych", which looks like it's more fun than being famous.

Doesn't Kevin Pollak do a killer impression of Christopher Walken? I'm pretty sure it was him who did it on Conan a couple of years ago...other than that, I don't have any idea who that dude is.

Freddie is writing for the WWE? That is awesome!

And Rachael Leigh Cook used to be my celebrity crush for quite some time. I even gave Stateside a shot b/c she was in it...yeah, that wasn't a good idea.

I still think he should play Spider in a film of Anansi Boys

Kevin Pollak is brilliant. Never forget that.

Agreed.

He also does a superb William Shatner.

Are you talking about the Freddie Prinze Jr.? I'd never think in a million years he'd be doing any sort of writing for any sort of Wrestling Entertainment type business like the WWE. He doesn't strike me as the type who would.

Is it weird to hear the Safety Dance in my head watching Game of Thrones?

And he's also Mr. Buffy the Vampire Slayer, which I'm sure has a few perks.

Let's not forget that Usher was also in this movie.

Same here, I'm hoping she transitions into soft-porn thrillers soonish
