Most people don't go to see films to be challenged

i HATE this argument, which is so popular in PTP. it sucks ass.
Jun 11th 2007

      yup
Jun 11th 2007
10
           actually that's just your limited reading of the opinion
Jun 11th 2007

                hey now, Knocked Up had a lot of intelligence in it . . .
Jun 11th 2007
21
                yes... i wanted to add that, as well.
Jun 11th 2007
23
                Knocked Up was perhaps a bad example
Jun 11th 2007
30
                     the point of this post was never about 'highbrow-ness' though
Jun 11th 2007
32
                          Bad word choice on my part but...
Jun 11th 2007
36
                               the post is not necessarily about 'blockbusters' either.
Jun 11th 2007

                                    "Clamoring for blockbusters"
Jun 11th 2007

                the problem with the argument still remains.
Jun 11th 2007
22
                You simply restated your reading
Jun 11th 2007
28
                     and i'm telling you it's a false analogy.
Jun 11th 2007
31
                          Then do Homicide vs. Law and Order
Jun 11th 2007
33
                               my point is that Homicide was far less 'challenging' than The Wire
Jun 11th 2007
35
                                    I just used Homicide as an example.
Jun 11th 2007
37
                                         no... *I* just used Homicide as an example.
Jun 11th 2007
41
                                              well in all fairness it was the trailer for Knocked Up that 'lost' them
Jun 11th 2007
43
                                              *shrug*
Jun 11th 2007
44
                                              And I fit Homicide into my example
Jun 11th 2007
45
                                                   essentially we DO agree
Jun 11th 2007
47
                                                        But that's not what I was saying
Jun 11th 2007
50
                                                             damn, yo....
Jun 11th 2007
51
                don't be an idiot
Jun 11th 2007
25
                     You disregarded my opinion and then restated most of it
Jun 11th 2007

well even though i have no intentions of seeing PotC

Jun 11th 2007

                                              actually...that film was NOT a blockbuster
Jun 11th 2007
