It's just a cheesy blockbuster. You either like that kind of thing or you don't. No need to have everyone harp.

ETA: I didn't mean everyone came off sounding like a total snob. Just those who used hyperbole to make some dramatic points.

Exactly. I mean, how much of an intellectual stretch can it be to realize that an overly loud killfest with apparent urine jokes is doing its best to appeal to the Schwarzenegger/Stallone fans who think the blood and degradation can't run freely enough?

Personally, I think a happy, bouncy movie like Cars is far more dangerous. In addition to being one of the worst written movies that I was supposed to like in some time, it was one big red state NASCAR, oil company blow job.

And I seem to be the only one who gets it.
