I am right now on the phone with my friend. They all want to see “Dude, Where’s my Car.” I told them I’d rather be gang probed by a rabid group of monkeys. Vote is still 4 to 2 against me. I need some way to explain to them that watching this movie is like taking a Hoover to your gray matter and never having it returned. Someone, please help me.
You’ve NEVER gone to see a movie fully knowing it was going to be stupid? Geez, it’s just entertainment. I don’t think they’re aiming for the market of people who want to be touched by a movie, just people who want something goofy to watch.
Just tell them that any humor below your high up intellectual quotient isn’t satisfactory for you and that you shall pass on this opportunity presented before you.
Or you could just tell them that you’re allergic to laughing at anything stupid. whatever, it’s like an hour of your time, your with your friends. I’ve enjoyed myself at plenty of movies that were crap just cause i was with friends. For example: Elmo in grouchland…
you COULD just turn off your brain and be entertained for a while…
or you could say, “Sorry Dudes, I just can’t find my car!”
Seeing movies are over $8, I think you have a valid excuse- if they must, make them pay for it.
Just give them a list of completely inane excuses and ask them to pick one.
eg. I have to wash my hair, vacuum the cat, keep the man in my fridge company, trim my bonsai tree…
Ask them to keep the list for use on any future crap movies that they ask you along to.
I am sure they will get the hint
$8.oo? Where the HELL are you from?
Central MN, tickets are only $6.oo still!
I saw this movie last night. I thought it was really funny. Sure, it had no point to it whatsoever, but none the less, I laughed my ass off. Call me simpleminded, but hey, what can I say?
I wouldn’t pay to see it again, but if someone were to rent it, I wouldn’t leave the room.
(For the record, it was sold out at the 9:45 showing. Apparently it takes very little to amuse a whole lot of people.)
Tickets are $11.00 here 
Get baked. The movie will be hysterical.
I second that baking motion, made by the honorable gentleman immediately before me!
Better yet, get baked, bake some spacebrownies and eat them with yer pals on the way to the movie theatre (telling them what’s in them is of course your choice…). Whatever the movie, you will have fun.
That said, I have no idea what movie you guys are talking about since I’m far from civilization at the moment.

Dude! Go see the fucking movie! At best, you’ll have a great time! At worst: you’ll have something to hold over their heads next time (rememer when you made me go see that stuid movie? Huh??)
And, getting baked never hurt anything ('cept maybe my SAT scores…)
perhaps if Astro hadn’t gotten baked so many times, he might have spelled “stupid” correctly…

As an aside: anyone who drugs their pals without telling them is an asshole!!!
Yes, Morrison’s Lament, I realize that your comment was made jokingly… but I feel that we have to make this clear to the less intellectually capable who might read this…
What if it turns out to be the Academy Award winning movie of the year?
never mind 
You are of course correct. I have a few friends who have had BAD experiences with not being told what they were taking, it was no joke to them.
However, as you guessed: I was ooonnlllyyy kiiiddddiiinnnggg!!! (anyone remember that great Weird Al Yankovic song kalled “I was only kidding”?)

Well, I didn’t go see the movie. I’ve done this once before. They talk to me in this tone of “How dare you not come with us?” which can also be interpreted as “Refuse to be a sheep? Inconceivable!” Ususally by the next day it’s forgotten.
One of my friends just came into town yesterday and this would have been my first time seeing him. I thought “But I’m not actually going to be seeing him! Well go to the movie, sit in the dark for two hours, and come home. Wow.”
Movies here are $7, but we can get in for $5 because we all still have student IDs. Still, having them pay for me wouldn’t be a bad option.
Also cheezit, Siskel and Ebert were once the only two in a screening of this foriegn film. They looked at each other halfway through, and pretty much said without words that the film was absolute crap and walked out. The movie went on the win the Academy Award that year for Best Foreign Film. Of course, Siskel’s now dead…so maybe I should have gone to see the movie.
Hey! Elmo in Grouchland is a great movie! I’ve seen it approximately 187,000 times! Of course, the fact that I have toddlers is the reason I’ve seen it that many times, and catch myself quoting dialogue from it in my sleep, but still, don’t knock the E-man! He rules!
My friend Sean and I planned for weeks to see “Dude.” To tell you the truth, I never saw any ads for it. The bastard ditches me on the day it came out. Dude, where’s my social life?
Oh, yeah. Now I remember…

I know this is a day late and a dollar short…

Get hammered for the show. Seven dollers worth of cheap booze or beer smuggled into the show makes for a fun time.
-
Sneak out just after the previews and go into another film. I’ve done this a few times.
