    Archived from the IMDb Discussion Forums — Josie and the Pussycats


    Scarlett04 — 19 years ago(December 08, 2006 11:28 AM)

    It's been a while since I've seen this, so the only two I can remember are: 1. when Val gets left behind as the limo drives away and 2. when Wyatt is on the phone describing the girls to Fiona. I was not impressed with that stuff. 😞 Anyone else know where Wyatt's hatred may have stemmed from?
    I'll think about that tomorrow.

      Maybe because she's the smartest one?

        This is exactly why. Val knew from the beginning that something was up so Wyatt gave her the cold shoulder and tried to get her pissed and get Josie and Mel happy so that Val would feel left out and not focus on what was really going on.

          That's not exactly why. Josie was the one that from the beginning kept saying "Isn't something strange about all this?" and then the other two would squeal and cause her to dismiss her suspicion for the the thrill of being Rock Stars.

              it wasnt intended to be racial, it was something called "foreshadowing" which basically is clues leading up to something. the "racial innuendos" were just Val beginning to see that it was all about Josie, hence her getting left behind in the limo, its just showing she can see whats really happening.

                It had nothing to do with race, those things were plot points, building up to the point to where Val felt left out and that the band was all about Josey. They had to use Val because Mel is too stupid to realize what Wyatt was up to.
                I know this because Tyler knows this.

                  It wasn't innuendo. It was satire. they were just making fun of how sexist and racist our society is.

                    It's because she's Rosario Dawson and he's jealous of her greatness.
                    Because she's amazifying. And stupendous.

                      This is Alan Cumming we're talking about, he has nothing to be jealous about, he's great in his own right.

                        Hahaha duuuudee I was only kidding. I don't have anything against Alan Cumming at all. I simply adore Rosario Dawson. I don't actually believe that. It was some light-hearted sarcasm in order to show my support and love of one of my favorite ladies on the big screen. (And, an under-noticed and under-appreciated, talentd, young actress at that.)

                          No worries, I felt that I needed stick up for my man Alan, besides I have nothing against Rosario Dawson I thought she was awesome in this movie.

                            Buuut I have an unfair bias I pretty much love her in like everything. Death Proof FTW!

                              Don't worry,
                              I myself have a bias when it comes to Alan Cumming (I think he's a god) and Parker Posey(she's so cute and quirky) among many others

                                I just think that this film has a lot of greats in it that we hardly ever notice. And I kinda wish that it had been a bit more of a hit in its day, because I really enjoyed it.

                                  as others have said, it wasn't racial, she got left behind as a form of foreshadowing,
                                  but the other thing, about "incredibly tan", HELLO PEOPLE! Wyatt was albino, remember? He was sad and jealous. duh.

                                      The writers say they put this in because Val plays bass and bass players always get dropped from bands, and are generally considered unimportant. The writers were pretty proud of this joke.
