https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i2UPOl54xMQ LL Cool J and Robin Williams fight toys. Joan Cusack is an idiot robot. Thomas Dolby and Tori Amos are on the soundtrack. And everything looks like a $200 million 1986 "Doctor Who" story, with all the weird poo poo that implies. 5/10, watch it while not entirely sober. egon_beeblebrox fucked around with this message at 20:17 on Mar 4, 2017 |

Toys was one of my favorite movies when I was 11. Might give it a rewatch.

I'm a military man, I want a military meal. Also wasn't there a giant slug monster or something near the end of the movie?

there was no slug monster but yeah it's a strange movie that was in development hell for a reason, it has no target audience, and was marketed like a kid's movie but it's about Vietnam in a Toy Company and has loving. 'How did this get made?' had a pretty good rundown of why it was just such a bizarre idea for a movie, but it's behind their paywall for old crap now.

I've only ever watched that movie when it was showing on Comedy Central. And the only scene I remember now is the war in that model city. I think young me thought that movie was the experience of being high.

It was real weird when the one toy bear got blown up and the other toy bear hugged it like in Platoon or something.

The art direction was what stuck with me the longest. I'll have to give it another watch.

Yeah that's the weird Vietnam thing from the toy war, like it plays up a bunch of 'war is hell' images in the least hell-ish way possible and pretty much makes the conflict almost inconsequental, but it doesn't seem ironic. Like there's supposed to be emotional weight to some random mass produced toys being broken becuase they're cute. They even even plot-twist the one human casualty into not really being an issue in the most batshit insane way that's also tonally inconsistent. Like it's supposed to be a big deal that Robin William's sister dies, but nope don't worry she's a robot, she'll get rebuilt. Also everyone already knew that or is 100% ok with that by the next scene.

My mom loves this movie. As a child I was always so confused that sticking an MTV label on one of the monitors actually turned it into MTV.
