but its interesting how threatened people who like these movies become when someone doesn't think it's funny

you're completely missing the point

since i've posted, nobody is "threatened" about the movie. it's just funny that you're criticizing it when you haven't seen it, and on top of that, you're making ridiculous comparisons that don't actually make any sense

on top of it, your entire persona is actually IN the movie

the problem is that they're nothing alike


How would he know that? He hasn't seen either movie and is basing his opinion solely on cultural references that derive from the films.

How would he know that?

hopefully through me telling him that

the best part is how he's comparing them to the waterboy, saying how much the waterboy sucks, and this movie says...the waterboy and movies like it suck

Statements like this separate the merely pretentious from the pretentious douches.

This movie may or may not be different but it has done nothing to generate my interest.

If it is on a movie channel in 6 months I may or may not give it 15-20 minutes to win me over.

as a former pretentious douche, i agree

luckily i was never a PD with regards to comedy. comedy has different forms, and as long as the piece does that style well, it's almost always funny. there is a time and a place for physical comedy, dick/fart jokes, and elevated referential dialogue

I don't think he meant it as "I'm too good for these kinds of movies." He meant it as "I don't think this type of humor is funny."

If he doesn't want to go see it because he doesn't think it's his type of comedy, then that's fine imo. I'm the same way. I will catch it on the movie channels and I'm sure he'll do the same
