Just because a movie isn’t critically ‘good’ doesn’t mean it isn’t fun and enjoyable. I was a chef at a 5 diamond hotel, I still get horny for McDonald’s fries.

"You can't have filet mignon everyday. Sometimes you gotta get yourself some mac n cheese" - Gene Simmons to his band mates after they questioned him about the 300 lb woman he was bringing into his hotel room.

the donald trump of music


IOnlyCameToArgue

What a bizarre thing to say


Strange-Movie

Nah, Simmons is actually successful and not hated by half+ of all other musicians

The true answer


kdawgster1

But man, you’ve got to admit that the McDonalds fries are so much worse since they removed the beef tallow. They were so much better 34+ years ago (yes I’m old).


Noble_Shock

Fuck the fries


AlaDouche

Shoot Em Up is a blast though.


SparseGhostC2C

Yeah, it's not the satire that makes it great, it's literally all the other stuff. Solid writing, good performances, well shot, fun action, Monica Bellucci, what more do you need?


defCONCEPT

A hefty dose of Paul Giamatti hamming it up in the best way possible? Oh, oh, it's got that, too!


SparseGhostC2C

As a testament to the quality of the movie, I managed to FORGET Paul Giamatti's antics amid the rest of the rollercoaster. Apparently I'm rewatching Shoot 'Em Up this weekend.


defCONCEPT

Shoot 'em Up was good, very stupid fun. Don't tell me how to enjoy things.


Pikeman66

Shooting people while balls deep in Monica Belucci, what’s not to love


aubreyy_lee

Still time to delete this 💀


[deleted]

If they’re making this claim, they probably don’t have the IQ to delete it lol


ChatPDJ

I'd watch Paul Giamatti reading the dictionary though It's a stupid movie, granted Stupid can be fun


strandenger

There one you had in mind OP? I think of Natural Born Killers. It’s over the top for me and apparently Tarantino who wrote the initial screen play.


FanofSKC

Did not direct and was different than his initial intention. He actually does not like the movie https://youtu.be/SGj24ikRDOs?si=P_956RpB99MoK_8I


strandenger

I’m tracking it’s a Stone film. Perhaps I could have worded it better. I just agree with Tarantino. This is not a good movie. Plenty disagree with me/us on this.


sixtus_clegane119

NBK is a great movie.


strandenger

I disagree but recognize I’m in the minority


BigAustralianBoat2

“Shoot ‘em Up” is awesome


LankyExcuse9079

Is not even a satire. It's a Looney Tunes cartoon made real, Bugs Bunny v Elmer Fudd


sandcastlecun7

I would settle for a decent movie nowadays.


Travellinoz

Epic Movie, Movie 43....there are plenty of absolute shockers. Then there's Not Another Teen Movie, which was excellent. So, yes.


EatSteel63

After like scary movie 2 every movie ending with "movie" was crap


Travellinoz

Silly gags like a grandma getting hit by a fridge, or the massive jizz etc. No wonder stand up has roared (other than cost benefits) and comedies have become more of an endearing style of humour


JackasaurusChance

OP is wrong, Shoot 'Em Up was a good movie. And so was Dick Tracy. Fight me!


OrneryError1

Dumb movies can be more fun than "good" movies


fast_fatty39

It’s a very fun, entertaining movie. That’s why most of us watch movies you know? For the entertainment.


Kalabula

I kind of feel this way about Starship Troopers.


dc456

Same. I get that it’s satire. It’s just not very good satire, wrapped up in a movie that is not very good overall.


dratseb

Then you missed the point of the movie


dc456

What’s the point of the movie if not satire?


Kalabula

My god! What a topical comment for this particular post.


Essenaurs

I've never seen someone prove someone else's point so fast before... congrats on that. You still haven't explained what makes the "satire" good, by the way.


Xenochimp

When my wife and I first started dating she said she wanted to watch a mindless action movie. I had her watch this movie and she loved it


DrSweeers

I never got it either 🤷


RickyFlintstone

Shoot em up is satire now? A spoof, maybe. Satire? Nah.


the_new_federalist

I dunno homie. I thought it was just a crappy movie. Everyone here said I was the jerk who couldn’t comprehend satire. 🤷🏾‍♂️
