Better off Dead has more memorable moments but One Crazy Summer is just funnier overall. Of course Savage Steve Holland's greatest career achievement will always be designing and animating the Whammies for Press Your Luck. You misspelled Eek the Cat.

Log Posted November 14, 2023 Share Posted November 14, 2023 I mentioned the Coyote vs. Acme movie while in the car with my family a few days ago. My kids (12 and 6) had no clue what I was talking about. It hit me then that they really have no frame of reference for Looney Tunes other than Space Jam. I don't think they've ever seen a LT cartoon in their lives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fucking bizarre. (...) The Producers really was more documentary than satire, I guess. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great Scott! I feel like I have to say more after that... let's see. Spoiler The 11 year old has seen all of them and maybe played half of the TellTale Games. I snuck in Adventures in Babysitting when her mom was asleep the other day. That was a close thing. I had to explain both Playboy and prostitution. Good parenting choice there.

My partner loves the first one and told me not to worry about the other two because, and I quote, "I know you and I know you're not going to like them". I, being stubborn, did not listen and watched the other two, then tried to find a way to be MORE stubborn and not tell him that he was right, because JEEZ. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curt McGirt Posted November 14, 2023 Share Posted November 14, 2023 Reading these old CFQs is neat because you will always have the one guy who will write a reaaaaaally long review of something like those two sequels that will start in about the commentaries, intentional or otherwise, of late capitalism. Gremlins 2 of course got a huge dose of that. It's a nice change from the other reviews that mostly trash everything. (Actually, I'm on 1990 now and it seems they're actually starting to LIKE the good stuff -- Exorcist III, Batman, Darkman, and most shockingly the remake of Night of the Living Dead all got glowing reviews.)

I don't think A-Team garnered the same nostalgic intrigue as a lot of other IPs that had remakes/reimaginings/reboots. The box office for the one we got should be the bigger indicator. There was a good five to seven year stretch where the amount of stuff being redone on film and TV was insane. The A-Team remake came right in the middle of that. People picked and chose and skipped over a lot of the just slightly above average to mediocre ones. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheVileOne Posted November 15, 2023 Share Posted November 15, 2023 If we have any kaiju fans here, I just wanted to let everyone know that Godzilla Minus One is the best Godzilla movie since the original, and I loved it. I saw the US premiere in LA, and it was spectacular. Shin Godzilla was more of a political satire. This is a post-WWII drama mixed with a disaster movie. Great reset for the franchise, and it actually nails the human story. See this movie opening day. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curt McGirt Posted November 16, 2023 Share Posted November 16, 2023 (edited) That is gonna be an enormous hit. IF kids get into it. The mix of English and Indian language is really interesting to me as an amateur linguist. How common is this in Bollywood stuff?

AxB Posted November 24, 2023 Share Posted November 24, 2023 Considering how little of the book storyline they got into Part One, I wouldn't be surprised if Part Two ended with a "To be Continued" about two thirds of the way through the book plot. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
