Fun Stuff > ENJOY
This is a joke. This is a MOTHERFUCKING JOKE.

Near tears? Really? I think you take going to the movies way to fucking seriously. I mean I can understand not wanting to go, but being near tears over it? Overly sensitive much?

Is this a fakepost because dude, elitism much?
Also lol @ the notion that QC forumites are, by and large, intelligent. Have you READ the Comic Discussion forums?

To reiterate myself (because you didn't bother reading it the first time):
In comparison to the rest of the internet, the population here skews towards more intelligence.
All I did is simply suppose a correlation that, if you believe the (American) national average IQ is about 90-92, then it makes sense why things such as this movie (and its predecessors), bland pop music, et cetera, are all popular.
Not really elitist thinking, as I never went parading around saying that I was better, nor did I even say that my assumption was correct. Its a theory, nothing more.
And finally, no, I don't read the comic forum. I have specifically avoided it. Comic book discussions tend to attract an user base that I would rather not be forced into murdering.
Side note: I find it rather ironic that the posts that you have made in this thread come across as an elitist with your holier-than-thou retorts. "I'm too good to tell people their tastes are shitty." That's how it comes across. Just sayin'
Vendetagainst:
well no, the people who gravitate towards regulated internet communication are usually fairly intelligent anywhere. If you define the "rest of the internet" as youtube commenters and myspace then yeah, we're fucking brilliant people, but the QC forums are not comparatively more intelligent than other forums I have seen. Anywhere you go you're going to get both ends of the bell curve, we are no different.

So it is your contention that being smart makes you like "better" art than people with a lower IQ?
That is seriously the most ridiculous thing I've heard in months. I know plenty of people with IQs of 140+ who listen to music I consider horrible in one way or another, including bland mainstream hip-hop. A friend of mine is an extremely intelligent writer for the New York Times and he frequently praises Top 40 music.
And I've known plenty of people with low IQs who listened to "good" music.
Ikrik:
Wow this has been blown a little out of proportion no?
I have friends who are INCREDIBLY smart at what they do. I have friends who are studying biochemistry, biophysics, biogenetics.....hardcore science stuff. A lot of them are in the top 5% of their class. Some of them like incredibly dumb movies. I know girls who are at the top of their class who act like The Plastics from Mean Girls. A persons taste in art, movies, music has absolutely no correlation whatsoever to their intelligence. If you want to say that people who like movies like Disaster Movie or Scary Movie are idiots and retards go ahead...make that generalization. It will not make it true.
Guys...if we all ignore Disaster Movie...it'll go away.
