The Zoolander Phenomenon
Filed Under (Everything) by Tyler on 25-11-2007
Have you ever seen the movie Zoolander? Did you like it? How many times did you see it?
These are crucial questions when determining the phenomenon known as Zoolander. You see Zoolander has a strange effect that occurs with it. Lets be honest its a bad movie, or is it? If you have ever been bored during a TBS marathon weekend -that would be when they repeat the same movie over and over- you have probably seen Zoolander more than once. Well there is something strange that happens after you have seen it 3-5 times. It becomes really really funny! The humour is no longer lost on you and you laugh and laugh and laugh.
What is it about this Zoolander movie that renders itself funny only after several viewings. At some point I will offer some opinions.
I saw this on TV last night too. Maybe you were tired; it’s bad.
Having seen Zoolander only one time, I didn’t find it funny. I don’t think I laughed even once. . . and then, I fell asleep.
I love Owen Wilson, but the movie just didn’t do it for me. And unlike Borat, I haven’t had the inclination to watch it again even though I didn’t find it funny the first time. (Borat is definitely better upon second viewing.)
