and here with some commentary is a grumpy old man

You know, there was this dumb gorefest film in a claustrophic setting that counted Samuel L. Jackson among its stars and scary animals as the nemesis.  It was called "Deep Blue Sea".  It sucked and it did poorly.  Now we have "Pacific Air 121", with all the same core qualities, except this time it's been hyped to death, given a stupid yet catchy title, and somehow you people think it's the greatest thing since sliced bread.  It isn't.  It's still a stupid movie.  The whole "so dumb it's fun" thing has been done to death by pro wrestling, Norm McDonald, and the Bush Administration.  So if that's what you like, sure, go watch the movie.  But let's not pretend that somehow this dumb movie is better than other dumb movies.  I didn't see you people lining up to go watch "Dungeons & Dragons", after all.

I feel, sir, that you have run roughshod over my nuanced deployment of hipster irony.

May I beg satisfaction?

What, you want to run roughshod over my post-post modernist ironical lack of irony?

I was thinking more along the lines of driving over you with a truck.

Haven't you done that already, in an ironically hip metaphorical sense?
