Thank You, USA Network
The USA Network played the American Pie trilogy - but in reverse order. Made me wax nostalgic.
Great movies. Made me forget and then remember just how bad an actor/actress Chris Klein and Tara Reid are (respectively).
Seann William Scott joins Matthew McConaghey and Owen Wilson in the category of "actors who don't really act, they just do themselves."
And Finch - one of the most underrated and underdeveloped characters in the trilogy.
But overwhelmingly, the weakest character in the whole mix is Kevin. Dude, you didn't close the deal with your girlfriend in the movie - and she's the whore of Babylon. It is, however, the longest Tara Reid has ever gone without banging someone. "To the next step."
Two others who didn't make a big enough splash from the American Pie movies - Mena Suvari and the Asian dude who was in Harold & Kumar - but it didn't stop them from landing roles in bigger motion pictures. Suvari in American Beauty. And the Asian dude...in Harold & Kumar.
-----
Love the scene in AP1, when Jason Biggs' character (Jim) walks up to Nadia (the horrible Shannon Elizabeth) and her friends, with Etta James' "At Last" playing, and he just spontaneously laughed at nothing. They look at him, confusingly, and he walks away with the embarassed "see you later."
Classic.
Ok, back to the Masters.
