AWKWARD ZOMBIE

Probably because I can't remember a single time you didn't hate something in this thread.

I mentioned a while ago that I wished to see more films like Memento. Obviously I like Memento.

I liked Ladri di Biciclette. I guess somehow I didn't mention it.

And if that's not enough for you, I liked Le Fabuleux Destin d'Amélie Poulain, The Shawshank Redemption, Forrest Gump, but everybody likes those movies.

Well, keep in mind that the first Spider-Man was in production when 9/11 happened. The first one was such a huge success partly because America needed a sense of escapism, as well as a symbol that we could all get behind.

So, yeah, they are patriotic. That's kind of the point.

its like saying Captain America is too patriotic

Except Spider-Man doesn't have the USA in his name?
Whatever.

No, but he's the embodiment of the "American dream/spirit".

He's an everyday, normal kid who is suddenly given a great gift that he uses to help others.

Superheros are really an American creation for the most part so they tend to reflect typical baseball and apple pie values.

Okay.

This I don't get though. How come all superheroes are lame when a few are patriotic?

Patriotic =/= bad?

Those two statements are not related, and I probably could have worded the second one a lot better.

Plan 9 from Outer Space is on Netflix.
Uh oh.

fucking go for it man

Except Ironman who is a drunk, and the ultimate engineer, and a badass, and uses guns, and actually kills people instead of taking them to jail and the like.

My roomate and I are watching it as soon as the Simpsons are over.
