In response to "*shakes head* Twister is a fantastic popcorn movie. Sit back, shut off brain, laugh at PSHOF and enjoy 120 minutes of goofy. -- nm" by Will Hunting

I hate "popcorn" movies. If I have to shut off my brain to get through the fim, then the film fails as entertainment.

A film should *engage* its audience, not attempt to induce brain death.

  - Armageddon falls into the "so bad it's good" category for me. I know it's a big dumb movie, but I'm still entertained by it every time I watch it -- nm - Roger More Dec 1, 11:31
