But as you said,the odd gem can come through.Its a pity you have to watch hours upon hours of crap to find them.

Didn't like Toxic Avenger? I didn't see it when I was younger (lets say 5-22), but heard my friends talk about it; so I knew what it was about, and a lot of the scenes. It sounded like some of the comics drew when I was a kid.
I didn't end up seeing it until well into adulthood. And for me, that mattered a lot. I had to force myself to watch it; could only get through about 40 mins, and decided I'd just read the rest for my cultural education. Having the protagonist act like a 5 year old, the lavish crudeness and cruelty... I got the idea in the first 10 mins, didn't find it entertaining.
I know a lot of people love it. I'm not saying only a teen mind would like it. I'm just saying for me that was the case. I wonder how many people saw for the first time older than 29 years old and really liked it?
