Don't you get it KGTM?  Dumb-fun shouldn't be a label applied to shitty movies as an excuse for their shitness.  It is possible for a movie to be both smart and fun.  James Cameron used to be good at it.  Dumb fun also used to be a thing—like "Speed."  Now it's just easier to slap any old crap on screen and the mouth…

“Found out you were full of it / I’m over it, so suck my dick” is supposed to be an example of "writing quality?" What the fuck?

I was in a bad car crash once.  It almost completely destroyed the car, seemed to go on forever, and should have killed me. It sounded just like this.
