        IMO that one works because of how little character each actual character has by design. Dumb jock is dumb and jocky, stoner is stoned, virgin is timid. It’s a play on the lack of real character that mid to low budget horror movies often have.

        It’s a great movie but I do find when Wheadon tries to do anything else, it just simmers down to kitchy one-liners that elicit a mild chuckle and nothing else, and that gets old very quickly.

      There’s no pretending, they’re all middling trash.

      Firefly gets by solely on the setting.

        So Space shows are popular just because they are in space? Andromeda would like a word…
