[QUOTE="bigfatcrap"]I'd say it's probably because of how popular Will Smith is with teens. Most of them know about him from I Am Legend.(As much as I hate that movie) Christian Bale on the other hand. . .while movies like American Psycho are much better than I Am Legend, I dought many people my age have seen it. So like a previous poster said, Smith>Bale in most teenagers opinion. Though they're are a lot of people my age (14) who much prefer TDK over Hancock.MrGeezer
It's because teens are stupid. That's all there is to it. Teens are the kinds of people who have to read The Grapes of Wrath for school, and then get pissed off because there wasn't enough wrath, and there were too many scenes of poor people sitting around eating fried dough. Teens are simply too stupid to recognize intelligent drama if it bit them in the nuts. That's why movies like "Meet the Spartans" are continually a smash hit.
Aren't the teen Choice awards an MTV awards show?
Well, just ask yourself...WHO watches MTV? Idiots. Do you REALLY think that that the MTV demographic cares about good filmmaking? No, they care about MTV-level stupidity, that's why they watch MTV. That's why they like watching summer blockbusters where "stuff done got blown up real good" instead of intelligent movies that ask the audience to think a bit.
Teens don't LIKE to think. That's why they're always getting high on pot and then playing Halo. That's why you can make a post on Gamespot, and people make comments like, "that was too long. I'm not gonna read that."
Yeah, god forbid that you have to READ something. God forbid that you actually have to use your own imagination, rather than seeing an MTV music video director flash a bunch of bright colours on a screen. That's why teens absolutely LOVE movies like Transformers and Bad Boys, and hate movies like The Talented Mr Ripley. That's why these people think that Aliens vs Predator 2 is the awesomest movie ever, and then think that Alien is a P.O.S. movie cuz it don't got enough fightin' and ****.
Teens are idiots, plain and simple. Nobody gives a flying **** what they think, because they suck.
Thankfully, this is usually just a symptom of immaturity, and most teens eventually grow out of their "idiot" phase. And let's not forget that even though teens are idiots in general, there are SOME teens who don't completely ****ing suck.
But most of them do. And that's why the Teen Choice Awards have absolutely no ****ing credibility.
You're half right.
They're are LOTS of people I know who fit your description. But think about it this way. The teens who are stupid enough to vote Hancock over TDK in the MTV teen choice awards are usually the ones who are stupid enough to be watching MTV on a regular basis. I'm 1, and they're are plenty of people mt age who are completely different from the description you've described. If it means anything to you, one of my best friends favorite movies is Aliens. The smart ones are normally the ones you don't hear about. Because you won't see them on MTV or in see them on youtube beating someone else up. Don't worry, we're not all idiots.
