Zombieland
KharBevNor:
Man, thanks Wolves, it is nice sometimes not to be judged insane or stupid for not liking something.

--- Quote from: a pack of wolves on 18 Oct 2009, 18:07 ---I really dislike that defence of a film when it gets criticised, just saying "you're not meant to think about it, stop thinking about it you're spoiling the fun with your thoughts". If a film ever did require you to force yourself into some kind of stupor to enjoy it then it would be beneath contempt.

Can you suggest ways to convince my '300' loving friends that this is the case?

I can't really blame someone for not liking Zombieland either. First off, it's pretty low comedy. It's not interested in subtlety, so physical humor and a couple of cheap laughs better be something you enjoy. The romantic subplot led to some dull scenes and was harder for me to buy into than the zombie apocalypse conceit. Spoiler incoming: I mean, honestly now, she robbed the guy twice at gunpoint! By pretending to need help! And he basically decides that he wants to be around her immediately after this. Hell, he didn't even really forgive her or need to be convinced or anything; it's basically like he never really minded in the first place because she's cute. What the hell?

It should probably be noted that he's heavily implied to be a virgin and humanity is close to extinct. I can see some people being rather forgiving under those circumstances.

Replace their DVDs of the film with the specially edited version where you read an essay entitled Safe Harbour For Masculinity: The Imagined Past And Traditional Gender Roles In Contemporary Cinema over the top. It could convince them of the joys to be had from criticism or more likely get you punched for wrecking their DVDs, but you never know.

The baggy trousers I wore in the early 2000s were pretty inadvisable.
