Mel Mudkiper posted:As I recall, wasn't gremlins the movie that finally pushed them over the ede That was also released in 1984. I never found that one scary though. One big change due to the addition of the PG13 rating was suddenly a ton of the sex comedies coming out toned themselves down to be PG-13 instead of R like Animal House, Porky's, Police Academy or Revenge of the Nerds... mostly for the worse. Bit less out and out sexual assault in those though. Kalli fucked around with this message at 17:00 on Apr 18, 2017 |

No Irish Need Imply posted:Explain. Mostly because of the back story of the movie getting made. Joe Dante never wanted to make a sequel and the studio kept begging him to do it because of how popular the first one was. He inevitably got the studio to agree to total creative and editorial freedom. The whole movie is 2 hours of a bored director doing whatever he wants with a studios money without any limits from the studio. It's a dada masterpiece

The two movies I watched the most as a kid were Labyrinth and Adventures in Babysitting. Both are absolutely great movies that everyone should see. poo poo, also Real Genius. A Man and his dog posted:For some reason this has me thinking of "The Breakfast Club" when homeboy smokes pot and goes loving insane. There was a ton of poo poo in the 80's pushing movies aimed at teens to show bad consequences for drug use... while still trying to be cool... so some really stupid poo poo got made.

No Irish Need Imply posted:PG 13 was introduced in 84 for this very reason. Even after PG-13 was available though, 80's movies still had way more language and sexually suggestive PG stuff in them than now. We watched the Great Outdoors this weekend and there's a scene where the two families spend like five minutes telling each other to blow it out their asses. It was great.

Jiminy Christmas! Shoes! posted:I don't think gossipy church wife was Maud's defining character trait. She was the neighbor's physically attractive, prudish wife that Homer lusted after. I mean she barely had a personality at all and existed mostly as a sounding board for Ned to demonstrate just how religious and dorky he was. Mike Scully stated this on her death: "It was a chance for one of our regular characters [Ned Flanders] to face a challenge and grow in a new direction. The idea came up quickly, we all latched on to it, and it just felt right. We didn't want to kill a character for the sake of killing. We wanted it to have consequences for surviving characters to deal with in future episodes."

Little late on this, but for those of you who didn't like the Spy Museum, it's just a front and the real Spy Museum is hidden in a secret bunker beneath it. You just have to find the secret switch to call the elevator. Go on, just touch everything. You'll find it eventually.

How Did This Get Made recently tackled Surf Ninjas, which was cool, but the real thing you should check out is the interview with the guy who wrote it. In the first two minutes you learn he was Jeff Buckley's godfather and that might be the least interesting thing in it. Seriously, its an all time great story involving the mob and could be a movie in its own rite (and kind of is, its was a Producers type situation).

Everyone told me this, so I said to myself, everyone hates them, why I don't I put them in and just kill them off immediately? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P35eZvHwDs8

Kalli posted:The episode where they had Patton Oswalt and the director of Punisher was amazing. That's a great episode, you get so much insight into the insanity that is making a movie. Any episode where they have someone involved in the making of the movie always produces some amazing stories and leads me to believe there is no industry that has more people not knowing anything about anything than film making. Kevin Smith was really good too and his story about how Jersey Girl was focus grouped to death was another cool peak behind the curtains.

Kevin Smith has never accepted responsibility for his failures in almost 20 years. also this quote owns so hard "(Kevin Smith) kind of created a Special Olympics for film. They just kind of lowered the standard. I’m sure their parents are proud; it’s just nothing I care to buy a ticket for.” - David Gordon Green

I always saw Kevin Smith as being the embodiment of the slacker ethos who made a pretty signature movie, then a couple of okay ones, then just never bothered to get better as a filmmaker so his act got really tired and he could move onto his true love: sitting around talking about bullshit with a bunch of people who'd listen to him.

Homer at the Bat is my go to episode to explain how old that show is. Mike Sciocia was a player in that episode. He's been the Angels manager since I was TWELVE. I also loved the Bart and Lisa hockey episode, the one where Bleeding Gums died, and Bart gets an F. Lisa was always my favorite.

Kevin Smith is frustrating because he had talent when he started out and never made even a fraction of an effort to grow as an artist. Compare his catalog to the other darlings of early 90's indy films and he is like the fat guy in your hometown who cannot stop talking about how he was the star of the high school football team
