Both BIO and NATM ended up being career makers for a lot of people. Very few started in either, but several broke out from them.

@scottalanmiller no idea what movie that is, but now I feel a sudden urge to crack that guy in the throat with a cricket bat.
That's a REALLY famous movie. "Bring It On"
And that single frame makes me glad I never saw it.
yea I tried to watch it, it was hot garbage
Bring It On is actually good. If you like campy teen movies. It's by far one of the best. The sequels are ridiculous, of course. But the original had a stellar cast and was a pretty important industry influencer (hence inclusion in NATM which itself was the foundation of a genre.)
And those parodies are hilarious, but when the subject of a parody is so utterly lacking depth, the viewer can absorb the original film's message by only watching the parody. It's much easier on the viewer's constitution.

Yeah it is, and SO well written (and acted.) Nothing that followed it came close. They defined the genre and set the standard. They almost seamlessly blend like ten movies of the era and manage to showcase how ridiculous the late 90s teen movie craze was while making a standalone film that was excellent. The only bad parts were around the complete unfunny, fart joke of a character played by Randy Quaid. Had they cut him, it would have been so much better.

is this the the "makeover" scene where she basically takes her glasses off and lets hair down.

It's a parody of the parody. It's the scene when she goes from "nice girl" to "goth girl" to get in the hot tube with Marilyn Mason.

NOthing in the video is FROM the movie, but it is the cast of the movie shooting new scenes just for the video. So they don't all play the same characters exactly.

Just found out that Nick Mason, Pink Floyd's original drummer, is touring. Playing Syd Barrett era stuff. And tickets are $180. I hate to admit that I'm actually considering it.
