It takes a certain intellect to watch certain movies

I will be the first to admit that some of the movies I enjoy watching lack a certain element...intelligence. 50 First Dates, Wedding Crashers, and perhaps even something like Meet the Fokkers all leave a bit to be desired in the intelligence department. Some might lump the incredibly funny Talladega Nights in that grouping. They would be wrong, but they might do it.


But even in comparison to those there are some movies so stupid even I cannot enjoy them...though I do understand why some people might. This includes such fare as the Scary Movie franchise and the Jackass movies.

And what sets the people that like those apart from those of us who prefer more...uhm...intellectual fare is none of us are likely to attempt the stunts.

I mean, I know full well that driving around with a hostile bobcat is not a great idea (Talladega Nights) and I am not particularly likely to go to random weddings of people I don't know, either (Wedding Crashers).

Yet for a second time we have someone harming themselves while attempting to emulate their heroes from Jackass. I guess it makes a certain amount of sense...I mean, who HASN'T wanted to put lighter fluid on and then light on fire their penis?
