This is a joke. This is a MOTHERFUCKING JOKE.
Statik:
And you do it again zerodrone! Congrats on still responding with an overtly elitist mentality.
Let me see if I can make this any more clear.
IN MY OWN PERSONAL EXPERIENCE the less intelligent people I know tend to listen to "less intelligent" music, watch "less intelligent" movies, appreciate "less intelligent" art. This is not a 100% given. This is not a broad sweeping fact, AS I PREVIOUSLY stated. There is no rule for everything. There is no 100% accurate statement. There is always exceptions. A good exception in my own life: I have met LOTS of stupid Opeth fans. I also have a smart friend who listens to top 40.
I'll make this seperate, hopefully your eye is drawn to this, since you seem to ignore most of my posts so well:
MY STATEMENTS WERE NOT UNIVERSAL FACT, THEY WERE A GENERALIZATION BASED ON PEOPLE I HAVE KNOWN/MET, THERE ARE MANY EXCEPTIONS, WE HAVE ALL MET THEM.
In conclusion: Get off your high horse.
Thank you.
Also, to try and bring this back on topic: Superhero Movie

That didn't look half as bad as Disaster Movie promises to be.

Well, no, what you previously stated was:
--- Quote ---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.
--- End quote ---
That sounds to me like you were stating that there is a direct connection between being intelligent and liking what you deem to be "intelligent" art.
I find the idea that you propose there is such a thing as "intelligent art" to be far more elitist than anything I've said.
Dimmukane:
The fact that you are both arguing about elitism makes you both elitists. Now shut and up and complain about how bad this movie is and how Hollywood sucks balls.
Jackie Blue:
Well, I do think I'm better than people, but not for intellectual reasons.
I think I'm better than people who choose to harm others. I think I'm better than people who lie. I think I'm better than people who think they're better than "the masses", which is a logical contradiction, I know.
