I still can't believe people don't get this film

Wow. That is one interesting review. I love this film so much, it's nice to see someone actually put that much thought into it. Your statement about the Levy scene is so spot on, I would hope that most folks would have caught that.
The scene you mention with 'Brainwashed' Josie entirely ripping apart Mel is a very well done scene (with a great payoff later when she apologizes), and yes ..it does have a very evil tone.
I loved this film when it came out and they've been showing it on some of the premium channels lately. I hadn't watched it in at least 2-3 years and I just can't believe how well done this is.
As someone in another thread said; it's almost like you don't expect a film based on Josie and the Pussycats is going to be as good as this is. I can't believe the average rating is only a 5!

Yeah, a 5 rating is criminal. This is a brilliant movie.
It's one of those movies (along with "Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within"; maybe 2001 was just the year for overlooked brilliant films?) that needs to have a spotlight shone on it again. The most that Josie has right now is a poster on a wall in a restaurant in Universal Studios and a recent mention by the actor that plays Goku in "Dragonball Evolution" in a special feature on the DVD (they flash to a shot of the poster).

Wow. Way to write off someone's valid analysis of the film. The film actually does have a message about product placement and consumerism by using the rabid pop star/ boy band music culture as a backdrop for the story. Sorry the film didn't want to be a stupid movie with fart jokes for the kiddies, ala "The Flinstones" and "The Smurfs", and actually wanted to have a point, which too many people miss by the way. In fact, the only reason that this movie has a low rating on here is because people think that the filmmakers were paid for the logos they put in there, when in actuality, they didn't get a dime for them and they were just put in to emphasize the topic of consumerism that the film explores. So next time you want to be a condescending jerk, why don't you actually put some thought into it.

Clearly you prefer your masturbation to be physical, if you disagree why don't you actually make an argument about it?

I didn't get into it as deeply as the 1st post. But I love this movie. And I don't know where to start. How about the product placement everywhere & the nod to The Apple
