So why all the hate for Hostel?

[urgeok]

actually british tourists (sorry zwoti :p ) are getting a pretty bad rep as tourists these days .. as bad as americans.

canadians are still as beloved as always :D

I thought the movie was ok, but i didn't care enough about the victims to make it horrifying to me, i was glad to see them die.

Maybe it was just me.The acting in the film was soooooo annoying.:)

I think thats a bit of a stereotype related to football fans that love a good fight in other european countries. They all love it, they all hate each other.

However thats a very small proportion of british tourists. Most people from england etc that can afford to go to far away countries, usually means they arent chav scum from the lower classes (football hooligans) and therefore are very nice and well behaved.

Chav scum usually go to spain and europe because thats all they can afford. My advice is dont take a holiday to spain during summer because you'll come across a lot of drunk hooligan type tourists out for the cheap beer, all night raves, and sex with chlamydia infected bleach blonde slappers.

thats one of the things i heard ... UK tourists fucking up Spain..

one thing i witnessed 1st hand in a couple of different families - its the UK relatives that come for a visit that lasts 2 months - they dont bring any money and expect to be shown every sight ... thats a bad reputation not widely known though :)

Hmm. Well in England the hosts do everything, and pay for everything for guests/friends etc. So maybe they expected that back?

Not too sure what you mean though, as me and everyone I know in England is the complete opposite to scrounging off people...we always pay for each other or ourselves, and always try to be the one that pays for everything when out with friends but at the same time knowing if we didnt have much money someone will pay for that person. A very gentlemenly thing :)

However, maybe chavs and working class (ironic name for them...in ye olden days they used to work hard) people are the opposite. They sit around all day getting an allowance from the government for not having a job (being lazy and sitting in a pub all day).

I was not crazy over Hostel either. I liked it okay, but I have seen better.

I had no idea that so many people believed that annoying tourists should be kidnapped, tortured and murdered! I'm going to burn my passport and weld my doors shut. I also find it kind of odd that anyone who doesn't mind seeing graphic violence would object to a little gratuitous sexuality.

It's no classic but was ok.

It isn't that I object to gratuitous nudity in general. I like it as much as the nest guy.

It's that it didn't fit the movie at all. It was done for the sake of nudity, not because it fit. It was like they made the seconf haf first and said "Oh, shit. It's only a half hour's worth of footage. How can we fill space?" "Nudity! Dudes like naked chicks, right?"

It was sketchy.
