HopsGuy Posted September 4, 2009 Share Posted September 4, 2009 -Sometimes, I'll watch a movie that I watched when I was younger and suddenly realize I had no idea what the hell was going on when I first saw it. Airplane Ted Striker: I flew single engine fighters in the Air Force, but this plane has four engines. It's an entirely different kind of flying altogether. Dr. Rumack, Randy: [together] It's an entirely different kind of flying. I probably didn't get that joke until about the 20th viewing. I was 12, but still.

DC Tom Posted September 4, 2009 Share Posted September 4, 2009 I couldn't even identify something as a Nickelback song if I heard one, but I still know that they suck. Best Nickelback song I've ever heard was by Carlos Santana. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chef Jim Posted September 4, 2009 Share Posted September 4, 2009 I never got it until reading it just now. I had to watch Spinal Tap a bit before I got this line about them playing a Jazz-Blues festival on the Isle of Lucy. Or was it Blues-Jazz Festival?

Fezmid Posted September 4, 2009 Share Posted September 4, 2009 All you need to do is hear one. Because then you've heard them all. That's not true. You need to hear three or four. Then they're all the same after that. My wife likes listening to them, so we went to a show a few months ago. I have to say that, while they're not the most musically gifted guys in the world, they put on a very entertaining show. They're very engaged with the crowd and look like they're really enjoying themselves. CW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ExiledInIllinois Posted September 6, 2009 Share Posted September 6, 2009 -Do you remember when you were a kid, playing Nintendo and it wouldn't work? You take the cartridge out, blow in it and that would magically fix the problem. Every kid in America did that, but how did we all know how to fix the problem? There was no internet or message boards or FAQ's. We just figured it out. today's kids are soft. Nintendo?? Hey... 25-35 year olds... Don't trip over your own self... It was learned from an older generation like myself (41)... Now those kids were tough! The technique was passed down like the oral traditions... You know, from older folks that used the Atari 2600.

Just Jack Posted September 6, 2009 Share Posted September 6, 2009 The technique was passed down like the oral traditions... You know, from older folks that used the Atari 2600. I used to take apart the 2600 joystick to bend back the metal contacts when they would quit working in one or more directions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete Posted September 7, 2009 Share Posted September 7, 2009 You, sir, must not listen to much music. I have over 1500 cds, 2000 albums, I have 30,000 G on my Ipod, and have 95 genres of music. I would say I am quite qualified to state that Nickleback sucks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would say I am quite qualified to state that Nickleback sucks There's a huge difference between "Nickelback sucks" and "Nickelback is the worst band I've ever heard. That is not hyperbole." The former is understandable. The latter implies that you don't listen to music, because there are FAR worse bands out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nickelback sucks and nickleback is the worst band I have ever heard are not mutually exclusive. They are the worst band I have ever heard. Music is subjective and that is my opinion. I honestly cannot think of worse music that I have ever heard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrDawkinstein Posted September 7, 2009 Share Posted September 7, 2009 Nickelback is ONE of the worst bands I've ever heard. Easily top-5 if you factor in suckness to popularity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew in CA Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 That was great! I recently watched Wayne's World and Wayne's World 2 again... definitely did not get any of those jokes at the time. "She could give a dog a bone!" Way over my 10-yr old head...

Lt. Dan's Revenge Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 -I think everyone has a movie that they love so much, it actually becomes stressful to watch it with other people. I'll end up wasting 90 minutes shiftily glancing around to confirm that everyone's laughing at the right parts, then making sure I laugh just a little bit harder (and a millisecond earlier) to prove that I'm still theonly one who really, really gets it. This is so true. For me, it's American Psycho. That may be sad, but I think everyone NEEDS to understand and appreciate how great the dark humor is in that film. If you can't get it, well, you're f*cking dumb! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
