10 Films That Made Audiences Dumber

In 2003, a conflict many had predicted for over a decade began as two former allies with competing ideologies engaged in a bitter and bloody feud that left a trail of needless destruction in its wake….but enough about Iraq.

Part of a plot sanctioned by George W Bush to lower expectations, dull sensations and send standards crashing into the basement, Freddy Vs Jason exists for one purpose: to make America forget it was fighting a pointless war. The movie was dreamed up by Karl Rove and Dick Cheney, their faces lit by lightning as they drank champagne from the skulls of children and cackled, “Can you believe that people will be paying to see this?”

It’s difficult to take the film seriously as horror when it’s littered with so many references to Scooby Doo, from an unshaven stoner who owns a vehicle referred to as a “Scooby van” to a Sheriff played by Garry Chalk, who was also the Vice Principal in Scooby Doo: The Mystery Begins. These things are not an accident, people.
