"But did you know" Mikey is pretty good?

ButnI don't really buy into his statement that LAH was an excellent movie. It should have been funny but it wasn't most of the time. I think part of it was that Arnold wasn't casual enough.

The best scene is when he shoots the closet and a Ninja falls out. It is simple and quick. It doesn't feel like it is making a joke, it was just a fact of life. Everything was just too on the nose to be funny and not crazy enough. It does get there once in a while like he pointed out with the exploding van.

Then there is the kid trying to convince Slater he is in a movie was tiring. He is constantly pointing out things and expecting us to laugh like a laugh track. I know there wouldn't have been a movie without him but I wished he just enjoyed the ride a lot more with a knowing grin.

I see it as a failed parody. True Lies is much better at this.

The kid was the worst part but I enjoyed it with my adult eyes just fine. I dunno I also watched Congo over a summer the same way and I bet that movie is going to be awful on rewatch but Last Action Hero was cool and good. Also True Lies is awesome as well, I like them both.

The best part of Congo was when they Mac Guyvered a Laser cannon. The rest is pretty forgettable as that is the only thing I remember from it.

I can't believe they still haven't made a prequel. How am I supposed to enjoy the movie without knowing how the ship was built or the captain's origin story?

Hollywood really dropping the ball on the TCU.

The part at the end of Last Action Hero sucks, because they keep making a big deal about how it doesn't run on movie rules, but it still very clearly runs on movie rules. It's just slightly less cartoony

How much for the built-in beer and 40 oz. soda cozies? Can I get a custom translite with a sexy lady in a Chewbacca costume? How about additional LED lights all over the cabinet so it flashes constantly whenever the ball hits something?

Also I like the generic dad rock. That's Stern in a nutshell, they're the generic dad rock of pinball.

Congo is great except for that drat gorilla that talks. It looks so fake and lovely, even for 1995. But the actual evil gorillas that show up at the end look pretty good, i thought. The movie is actually kinda fun and I've watched it recently on Amazon Prime.

That happened in both a video game and a new red dawn where it was China until like days before release and then someone doesn't want to upset china so switches the antagonist to North Korea which has some how conquered all of asia and now america.

In Civilization, North Korea is that one computer player who's AI is off so they only have 1 improvement in each city and 3 cities total but it doesn't stop them from declaring war with every other player.

Last Action Hero is better than you've been led to believe, but not as good as it could have been. I like when the Lethal Weapon music plays as the dying cop says "Two days away from retirement..."


And the best pinball machine was Guns N' Roses.
