spm 1 Posted February 24, 2007 Share Posted February 24, 2007 Went to see this tonight and can't recommend it enough. If you like Shaun of the Dead you're gonna love this.

I contend that if you out found that movie fucking hilarious then you must have some very low standards for comedy. Link to post Share on other sites

"Well, it's my opinion that, blah blah..." How about we just all understand that any non-factual position I advance is an opinion, and that I'll defend that opinion, but I'm not retarded so I realize we can't find the answer to this in a dictionary or the Farmer's Almanac?Uh oh...you challenged Wang's contentions. I wouldn't do it again if I were you...Indeed. It might make me angry. You wouldn't like me when I'm angry. (Not because I'll turn big and green, but because- when agitated- I start trying to speak to fast, leading to a slight but still unfortunate 'babbling' problem. It's not so much a stutter as it is, I mush words together and can't get them out. Also, my face will be red and spit might fly.)like I give a shitBig, defends his position AND swears on the internet.

theresa113 0 Posted February 25, 2007 Share Posted February 25, 2007 Shaun of the Dead is one of those movies that the more you see it, the funnier it gets. There is a lot of subtle humor, which is what makes it so great. Office Space is the same kind of movie. The first time I watched it, I was unimpressed. Now, after seeing it a brazillion times, I think it is a masterpiece. If you only saw Shaun of the Dead once, I recommend seeing it again. Link to post Share on other sites

So I went onto http://www.imdb.com (Internet movie database - in case you weren't aware of it.) On this site you can rate films. Most of the films that you listed had 10,000 votes or more (60,00 in some cases, lower in others) so I think the reflection is fair. As you can see I put the scores out of 10 next to each film.Here's what people thought of ...SOTD - 7.9/10 (40,000 votes)Hot Fuzz - 8.3/10 (3,650 votes)Make of it what you will.

I figured it'd make it easier to get if I made the swearing parenthetical and wholly unneccessary, but I guess not. See, I grooved one for you, and you STILL completely whiffed on the joke. It may not have been funny, but at least it proves your inability to recognize humor, failed or otherwise.Also, I stopped reading your list when I got to "The Sweetest Thing," which is arguably the stupidest movie I have ever fucking seen.

I'm not saying I agree with the list, or that I believe a popular vote should determine whether a movie is funny or not. I'm just saying aadams_54 is probably stupid.Cheers,Wang Link to post Share on other sites

Your ability to judge humor has been forever tainted by the fact that you even mentioned this movie. Link to post Share on other sites
Shimmering Wang 1 Posted February 25, 2007 Share Posted February 25, 2007 you just proved my point that you have very low standards when it comes to comedyNo, it doesn't.But good response, anyway. I see you decided to just drop everything else, and let your whole argument rest upon, "The joke you made two posts ago that I didn't even recognize as a joke- the joke you admitted wasn't even that funny- wasn't that funny. Ergo, my sense of humor is superior to yours." I'll admit, I'm flummoxed. I think I just have to let you win this one. When it comes to matters of humor and comedy, aadams_22 is now officially more qualified than Shimmering Wang. I'm sure everyone else here will agree.Wait a second... no they won't, because I think most people like me (or are at least ambivalent), wheareas most people actively dislike you. I'll take, "Ironic twists and the reverse of highschool please, Alex."I'm going to be Prom King.Wang Link to post Share on other sites
IQCrash 1 Posted February 25, 2007 Share Posted February 25, 2007 I'm flummoxed.You and your ten dollar words.And even though I think you're both gay with a capital F for having this argument, I feel the need to point out just one thing about The Sweetest Thing:What a lovely rideYour penis is a thrillYour penis is a CadillacA giant Coupe de VilleYour penis packs a wallopYour penis brings a loadAnd when it makes a deliveryIt needs its own zip codeNine - double zero - penisYou're too big to fit in heretoo big to fit in heretoo big to fit in hereYour penis is so strongYour penis is so smoothYour penis has got a rhythmYour penis makes me grooveYour penis is a dreamThe biggest one I've seenIt's oozy and it's green(spoken) Ewww(spoken) SorryYou're too big to fit in heretoo big to fit in heretoo big to fit in hereYou're too big to fit in heretoo big to fit in heretoo big to fit in hereYour penis is so bigYour penis is so thickYour penis is so prettyYou've got a handsome dickYour penis is so hardYour penis is so largeMy body is a movieAnd your penis is the star"Staring your penis"You're too big to fit in heretoo big to fit in heretoo big to fit in here Link to post Share on other sites
aadams_22 3 Posted February 25, 2007 Share Posted February 25, 2007 Wait a second... no they won't, because I think most people like me (or are at least ambivalent), wheareas most people actively dislike you.Since when are you and shake most people?The fact of the matter is I'm very opinionated, and I'm not afraid to open my mouth when I think the situation warrants it. Does that make me right all the time...absolutely not, but that's going to stop me from saying what's on my mind. If I turn a couple people off to me then so be it. It's their problem, not mine. I honestly don't care...I do not need everyone's approval to make myself feel good. People need to take what I have to say with a grain of salt, but you decide to go the complete other direction and berate me...and that's fine. If that's what you need to inflate your ego then more power to you. Link to post Share on other sites
