I must say, its quite excellent. Enough of the serious of life. Time to drink some rum and laugh so hard your stomach hurts.

I have got to go see this. Amazingly enough my wife has gone with me to each of them in the theaters.

All I can think of is the movie in Idiocracy that won all the oscars that year.

It's actually gotten decent reviews so I might check it out iof I'm feeling too frustrated with academia.

She Who Must Be Obeyed laughed so hard she cried, and unlike me, was sober at the time.

Jackass is #1 yet Solomon Kane remains unreleased in America.

Its ironical that I can see the first two images but the computer is not showing the third.
(oh wait, I see the top part of a certain US President)
Never did like Citizen Kane though. It seemed violently overhyped by reviewers. Now African Queen, THERE's a movie!

Solomon Kane was hilariosly OTT grimdark switch your brain off fun.

Hmm...was that a...porno flick?

...ugh.

The African Queen

Sorry, my internet senses are tingling.

Norton says it is fine. Spybot is not giving me a negative connotation to this website And the link looks good.

But I dare not try it, otherwise my WoW account may get haxxored again.

Hmm...is that a picture of Fidel Castro as the lead guy?

That was a GREAT movie. I remember seeing it when I was about 12 or 13 and liked it then.

Great, one more step closer to this:

I don't get that picture.

It's from a movie called Idiocracy. It's about a dystopian future where humanity got stupid because smart people stopped having kids.

And, the joke is that the #1 show on TV in this future is called Ow! My Balls!!, which is nothing but clips of various ways that the star of the show gets hit in the groin by things.

The Chris Ponitius scene involving the censor bar and the ping pong balls = genius.

Was it me though, or did those guys look like they're getting way to old for this? Steve-O especially looked mighty sober and "over it."

Me thinks some people need to pull the stick out of thine asses and learn that having a stupid fun movie come out once every two or three years does not herald the fall of western society. I swear, I'd love to go back in time and burn the original negative of that fething Idiocracy movie just so I don't have to hear about how we're heading that way every time something funny but low brow comes out.

Yeah, they are getting long in the tooth. Knoxville himself looked a bit too old for it the last go around. Steve-O's reaction in the port-a-potty is pretty telling. Namely his response to "Are you ready?" His "No" sounded exactly like that of someone who can't believe they're still doing this gak for a living.

Some actors can never escape their fate.

Remember that television series where this guy was the captain of a ship and he went on to become a famous actor and was able to expand beyond his role. And there there was that actor who played his second in command and never seemed to evolve beyond that limited scope.

Yeah, that is what most of Jackass pretty much is.

Jonathan Frakes.

You seem to have trouble making the distinction between fun and stupid, so I don't see why people should take make stock in your opinion. I mean sure, you want to insult people who don't like what you do and that is almost always a winner, and I believe the first on Dale Carnegie's list. If you like it, like it, but it isn't really something that can be justified. It is supposed to appeal to the lowest common denominator and it does it's job so bully for them. My main issue is that none of the players are likable at all, with the exception of Knoxville. I wouldn't want to spend 5 minutes with almost any of them because of their personalities, let alone over an hour.

I think he meant stupid fun as in "stupid fun," with stupid being an adverb for silly and applying it to fun as another adjective before attaching it onto the noun.

Stevo did an interview recently, I think it was on G4's attack of the Show.

My impression was what has been said here. He seemed bored with the whole thing.

Again, it could be that this was just his 50th interview promoting the show and answering the same damn questions in the past 3 days. So I could be wrong.

I was just picking on him a little because he felt he had to be insulting because people weren't singing the praises of something he liked. It was supposed to be about how it wasn't "stupid fun' but just plain old 'stupid'. I had phrased it poorly, and was working on a rewrite when you went all grammar Nazi and avoided the main point of the passage so now we will let it stand as my inability to rewrite fast enough and your inability to focus on the subject being discussed.

Wow....I really like that picture. I think I may use that in the future.

In all fairness I should have said Grammar Police. Grammar Nazi is a bit childish but so ingrained in our internet lexicon.

Really this all stems from my frustration at not being able to find my picture that says "STOP LIKING THINGS I DON"T LIKE!", which seemed appropriate for the thread.

Been told you have a stick up your ass about something is about as mild as it gets on the internet. As for focusing on the subject matter at hand if you'd read what I wrote I don't have a problem with people not liking the movie. That's fine. Jackass isn't going to appeal to everyone. My gripe was Idiocracy being brought up any time something low brow gains even the slightest bit of popularity.

Ahtman wrote:You seem to have trouble making the distinction between fun and stupid, so I don't see why people should take make stock in your opinion.

And you seem to have difficulty understanding that watching someone do something stupid can be amusing. So I guess that leaves us in the position of no one taking either of our opinions seriously.
