Mystery Men

[effervescible]

I saw this movie for the first and only time several years ago--I was still in high school, I know that much. I didn't enjoy it and didn't find it funny. It's on Sci-Fi right now and I'm enjoying it immensely.

I wonder why reactions change like this.

Maybe as you get older you start to "get" more of the jokes.

I don't think so, actually. I got them before, I just didn't think they were funny. Oh well, it's nice to have another movie I like. :)

I think there are just some films that need a certain level of experience to get. Office Space and Clerks are much funnier now that I've worked those jobs and know those people, which I hadn't done when I originally saw them in high school. And humor does become more sophisticated - I'm pretty sure I'd find Ace Ventura a lot more grating now than at thirteen.

So this movie would be even funnier to me if I became a superhero?

Hey, how's the theatre stuff coming? We miss you on AIM.

Reminds me of my 5th Element days in 6th grade where I'd watch it every single day until the TV broke.

Now, I haven't watched it in... 3ish years. Not for the lack of TVs or anything. Maybe thinking patterns change while you age or something.

I love Mystery Men. I laugh my ass off every time I watch it.

"No. The guy at the pro shop did it."
