Really? I mean, what goes through your mind when you first think of doing this?
The answer is simple: nothing and drugs.
Not only is Project X a horrible movie, it also tries far too hard to market itself towards a teenage crowd - which has obviously proved successful.
Why is this, you wonder? Well, there are many things that may contribute to the stupidity of the modern, American, teenagers. One being drugs and two being the lack of education, mixed with the drugs.
Everyone does stupid things in his or her lifetime, but this just takes the cake; and to think you won't get caught after you post stuff like this all over Facebook and not even hold it as a private event. The worst part is that they'll never learn and will probably stay this way for the rest of their lives.
I've seen the effects of that lifestyle and its not pretty.
I remember a time when I used to rat out women in their 20's who still collected dolls. Now, I'm begging for girls in their mid teens to try and find a doll-collecting hobby instead of abusing drugs and partying their lives away.
The thing is this is not a surprise. It seems these incidents are getting more common. With some teens their is complete lack of respect for the law and people in general.
Teens are stupid.
That is all.
Heh, this reminds me of a conversation that started with the fact that Cosplayers are seen as immature, but Binge Drinkers and throwing wild parties? Totally mature.
It's not what you do, it's how you do it.
I haven't seen the film & I doubt I'll see it until it's released on DVD. But, the whole concept of the movie reminds me of a series called 'Skins' over here in the UK (they did a U.S version, but it was cancelled after just one season).
The whole idea of partying, drugs, sex & rebellion - Skins does exactly the same. And in the UK it was popular among teens-young teens. Plus, they didn't use real, trained actors, they used people just starting out, like Skins does.
I know a lot of people like these kind of shows (there's more than those two), but it annoys me because they put so much influence on teens and how they feel they should act. Obviously though, it has worked perfectly, as shown in the article linked above.
I have the same problem.
I have the same issue with my Doll collecting. It's the butt of all jokes with whoever knows it, but damn if I make a crack at 'Normal' hobbies like soccer...
Its a good point it the same, wearing clothing with your teams badge on is no different. Its just seen as more 'normal' as sport is extremely popular.
I feel like no one is actually like this in high school. I just graduated it about a year ago and I wasn't in the "popular crowd" I guess because I was too busy with my school work and trying to get into college. Anyways, yes I am sure that the "popular people" (if you want to call them that, they weren't that popular with anyone though as typically depicted in these types of movies) did drink and have some parties, but they were definitely not these wild ragers that are shown in Superbad, Project X, or any other movie about teenagers.
It's just a dumb expectation of society to think that every young adult just wants to go out and get drunk. I have never been drunk before and I don't have a problem with drinking alcoholic beverages at all, but it's when people over do it just for the sole purpose to get drunk and 'have a good time', like all of my former friends from high school are now doing in college, meanwhile I am up till 3 every night doing school work.
Main point: I just like to ignore these expectations since I feel like at any place they are not real and it's just adults thinking everyone wants to go out and party when they are teenagers.
