are there any mines that aren't bombs?

Well a mine is a bomb underground. Once you place the bomb underground it’s now a mine, so even though it’s structure is unchanged, its essence is now a that of a mine. Think on it this way; at school you’re a teacher but when you walk into your home you’re now a parent and your essence is now parent.

so technically you meant something like "more specifically"
or are you just trying to undermine?

Talladega Nights

Napoleon Dynamite

I have generally low expectations for Will Ferrell movies so no strong opinions there, though I thought Talledega Nights had its moments, but Napoleon Dynamite was bad.

I made it about an hour into Everything Everywhere All at Once. I don’t understand the hype and critical acclaim for that one. I’ve read there’s a deeper meaning to the storytelling but I couldn’t stay interested in it long enough to find out.

I could pick out some funny moments from either one........but both were definitely movies that many others loved quoting stuff from. Yet, if I were to see that either one was about to come on TBS later in the day, I'm quite sure I wouldn't be planning my evening around it.

Then you got more out of Napoleon Dynamite than I did.

Subterfuge

The original petard was indeed a small bomb used for blowing up gates to a fortress. As the placer of the petard ran off, the explosion could blow him off his feet if the fuse was too short.

I wonder if it hurt??

Uncle Rico was funny, but I didn't really get what was so knee-slappingly hilarious about "Vote for Pedro".

Forrest Gump i remember liking a lot when i saw it at the theater.. then over the next 20 or 25 yrs i thought it was corny.. now, having rewatched it in the last couple of years- i really like it again .

I said almost this exact same thing

Forrest Gump: Love it or Hate it?

When I first saw Forrest Gump I loved it, I thought that it was one of the best movies I'd seen in a long time.Afterwards the movie seemed to get longer and longer each time I watched it.It was on last night and I watched a good bit of it in the first time in years. I loved it all over and...

Heh. I voted "hated it" back in 2009. My mind hasn't changed since then either.

Fork movies.

You tell ‘em Bill.

The majority of movies that win an Oscar, I’m very meh on. Guess I’m too low brow or uncultured.

 

[superchuck500]

You all have terrible taste in movies

I'm not sure why you misquoted how I feel about movies. I'm sure the movie industry plays an important role in the economy as they incite a LOT of people toward their product and all their frivolous merchandizing.

All I'm saying is that it's not my thing. I can think of dozens of other activities I would prefer to spend my time doing than sitting in a movie theater for a couple of hours. Seriously, if the vast majority of the population felt as I do, a lot of movie studio personnel would be out of work and all the actors on the big screen would have to find real jobs.

But I don't dislike the movie people or their craft. I simply don't know anything about them or their work. There are a lot of posts in the Funny Memes thread that shoot right over my head. Most of them make absolutely no sense to me.
