People have a problem with not reading in between the lines with some movies. I think some of the most genius movies are ones that force the observer to do as much. I obviously consider "Alien" the best Alien movie thus far, and likely forever. But a lot of people I know enjoy Resurrection, which is total shit. There is very little there to redeem that movie. It even adds NOTHING to the story Arc that Alien created way back when. But they like its action, its special effects, its overt gore, and dump on Alien's slow pace and seeming lack of action until the 2nd half of the movie. They are not seeing what makes this film scary, and thats the visuals, and the atmosphere, both of which the film has very large amounts of. Resurrection relies on excessive gore and violence you can see coming from a mile away, which is cheap and lame.

Getting away from horror, you are either a "The Big Lebowski" fan, or you are not. In my eyes, at least, if you can't read between the lines and pay attention to see the humor in this film, you are lame. Stop waiting for the next pratfall or penis joke and realize that comedy can also work by being subtle. This film did bad in American Theatres after its release. I wonder why? A few people I know like this film. The rest don't get why saying "Shomer fucking Shabbis" is so funny.
