I don't think Keith hates movies, in fact the exact opposite. He loves movies so much that when he sees one he thinks is bad he sees it as an insult to the medium he loves.

Thanks buddy, I remember back when they did the show I tried to get it but that Comical Radio website is ass. I usually avoid itunes but if you and Kyle are going to force me to listen I guess it's time to bite the bullet.

Call me retarded, if you'd like, but I really do enjoy long character driven movies, that I can really get into, emotionally.

Saying some people have suspension of disbelief and some don't is way oversimplistic. I've heard a lot of people who were underwhelmed by
Avatar say they were moved a great deal by recent (and far less "real") films like
Up and entertained a great deal by plothole ridden movies like
Star Trek. It's an entirely subjective thing and it's up to the film-maker to construct a coherent world and story and characters so that his/her audience can make sense of it.
The Matrix and
Watchmen occur in realities far removed from our own and yet Keith loved them. To say he can't suspend disbelief is flat out erroneous.
