Learning for the sake of learning just means your piss bored.
You don't hear many people say "gosh i'm so bored I think i'm going to go pick up a copy of Physics for dummies". What you do here is "im bored, lets go rent Hot Fuzz and eat some twizzlers".
Never mind the fact the whole education system, at least in the US, is a poster child of not wanting to learn. What kind of moron thought up the idea of shuffling kids around to different subjects every hour on the hour and expected it to be enjoyable. No wonder trade schools are packed of high school dropouts. Its not that they are dumb, its they are smart enough to ask the question "Why the fuck am i doing this when I can actually learn a useful skill to live by"


Actually I went back to school because I was bored...so you're right. And physics is one of my favorite subjects.

I think the problem with our school system is that we're required to choose what we want to do with our lives at such a young age. If we don't have the mind set or discipline to do this, we end up coming out of high school with nowhere to go. In many cases, when people have lived in the real world for a while, they gain the discipline and drive needed to proceed with schooling. Some do trade schooling, some find a way back into a 4 year institution. But I wouldn't necessarily say that I don't consider the things I learned in high school useful.

...Hot Fuzz and Twizzlers does sound mighty awesome, where were you the day before I signed up for my first class?

Genius! Way better than Hot Fuzz.

I really enjoyed Hot Fuzz... wasn't interested in Shaun of the Dead before now... gonna have to check it out.

The editing in Hot Fuzz was top notch during those lightning quick in-between bits.

Let's not have this argument. Both moves are absolutely genius, perfectly spoofing the genres they're conveying better than any other spoof has in the past.

Instead of "spoofing" a genre by low-brow fart/poop jokes, or lesser actors dressing up as Jack Sparrow and repeating famous quotes with a funny/stupid accent, these guys have taken what was a washed-up genre and have made it an art. Watch Hot Fuzz and Shaun of the Dead, absolutely EVERYTHING does it's job so perfectly. The camera-work, the music, the acting, all of this is so essential to what has made these two films as hilarious as they really are. The funny lines are only half of the humor, the rest is more subtle, yet equally as creative.

Hot Fuzz wasn't bad, but not as good as Dead.

Bah! Hot Fuzz was BETTER than Dead. Quite a bit better, in fact. Shaun of the Dead was good, but Hot Fuzz was freaking great.

EDIT: Sorry about the profile comment when I meant for a regular reply. That's what I get for posting after Easter turkey and wine.

Shaun of the Dead is so freaking awesome and British. Hot Fuzz is as good, if anyone hasn't seen it yet.

What's your opinion on Ann Coulter? - http://www.videosift.com/video/Ann-Coulter-Brainless

I just got through watching Hot Fuzz no more than two minutes ago. It was a lot funnier than Shaun. Just didn't like horror and comedy mixed together - it didn't work. But then again I went through both movies not being able to appreciate 90% of the British wit.

“Sadly it was Citizen Kane. Only joking! Yeah what would you like saved, I will be your saviour!

“Shaun of the Dead.

Do I win?””

This is fake! The interviewer is Edgar Wright, director of Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz! Pretty funny though.

That reminds me, I want to watch Hot Fuzz. Awesome.

This guy looks like he's from the same troupe as the guys who brought us Shaun of the Dead/Hot Fuzz. Fucking awesome...

Yeah, I am so looking forward to seeing Hot Fuzz.
