How can something so STUPID...

How can something so STUPID strike us as being funny as hell...

Example #2. Educated Idiots on parade...

My vote goes to #1 which gives new meaning to the term 'dumbass'.

2nd Question: How can something this STUPID get us excited?

I made the mistake of watching 'Spiderman 3' last night which was a repeat viewing.
I must have been brain dead the 1st time through or just entertained into a stupor.
The second viewing allows one to analyse the goings on and ultimately to realise how completely and impossibly stupid we must be at some level to accept this crap as
viable 'action' rather than just a silly puppet show for 4 year olds.

Give me real stuntmen blowing real stuff up. As much as I'm glad CGI showed me what REAL Dinosaurs could have looked like, I'd prefer ALL CGI be shit canned and the movies went back to WORKING for a living. Yeah I know...there are incredible artists at work...so what. Hands on involvement, garage mentality and risk is what makes screen excitement. Sam Rami used to know that. Remember when we cared that a body fell 10 stories onto an inflated cushion? Because it DID! Somebody risked their ass and got paid for it. Where is the sense of danger in a collision of Ones & Zeros?
