I remember seeing Total Recall at a loving scout camp, I think I was 10. One of the ventures or what ever had brought it in, just came out on VHS and everyone crowded around a little TV and watched it. Quatto scared the poo poo out of me but gently caress it was good. Kids need that poo poo to develop properly or they turn into fainting couch rear end dorks.

u can judge the quality of a kids cartoon based on wether or not theyre shooting real bullets or lasers. i wonder why kids think playing with dads gun will just give them a lil 'owie' burn mark... probaly need to dumb this down a bit further so the guns shoot bubbles, thatll teach safety

I just got back from Wonder Woman. It was like way better than cranks on the internet seem to be saying? Everybody keeps talking about how the ending is horrible horseshit but it just seemed fine to me. Not great, certainly not the best part of the movie but it tied up the plot fine and was just kind of what you'd expect in a CGI ridden action blockbuster. Like when I think of insulting, terrible endings something like Star Trek: Into Darkness springs to mind, this was fine.

achillesforever6 posted:I think for guys like RLM they tend to be more negative since they watch every superhero movie every year and end up getting really cynical on how they are all the same and blah. Well, I know what to expect with RLM but reading in this thread, CineD and Reddit made me expect the film would be significantly worse than I actually thought it was. It was fun, but not so light, like some Marvel stuff, that there's no gravitas when called for, while conversely avoiding Snyder's misery. The two main characters play off each other great, the supporting characters are a lot of fun (the sniper and the conman just worked well, they got little scenes to shine like the Sniper playing piano or the conman convincing a German guard to let them into a castle, I was thinking that was exactly the kind of stuff that Rogue One fell down horribly on), the action was often thrilling, especially when WW tears up poo poo in No Man's Land. The cinematography was mostly great. The two initial villains were pretty weak, and I thought it was Dumb to use a real life German General for no good reason there, its not like any other real historical figures play a role here, but the Ares reveal was better than I thought it would be, I liked the idea that he wasn't really controlling events so much as helping people bring their intrinsic violence and hatred to the surface and taking a backseat from there, all the while mocking WW's belief that she could just kill the final boss and permanent peace would reign while having an intense disgust for human nature that was difficult to deny given the circumstances of the war. I Dunno, maybe it wouldn't hold up as well on repeat viewing but I really liked it.

I watched The Road Warrior when I was like 12 and it was the greatest loving thing I'd ever seen in my life. At that age I also watched T2, They Live, Dawn of the Dead, the entire Child's Play franchise, the entire Nightmare on Elm Street Franchise and Videodrome. I thought Videodrome was boring as poo poo at the time and yet I still considered it a good movie, I just forgot most of it by the time I rewatched it years later.

A Knight's Tale is on BBC America right now and I don't know what's going on with this movie. It started out with We Will Rock you and now Lowrider is playing while people train with wooden swords. Is this supposed to be a comedy? What the gently caress am I watching?

There was also a cowboy movie with like Limp Bizkit songs a year later. Apparently someone in Hollywood got it in their head that period films with rap rock soundtracks were the next big thing. That trend died quickly. DoctorStrangelove posted:I watched The Good, The Bad and The Ugly in the 6th grade and I thought it was the best movie ever. Still my 2nd favorite, after Seven Samurai.

I watched Twin Peaks with my dad when I was a kid when it first aired. Now that's good parenting! I had completely blocked it out of my memory until I rewatched it as an adult, and every episode felt like I was having an aneurysm as I was remembering things in vivid detail as they were unfolding before me. It was actually quite a cool experience.

When i was a little kid, i watched Ghostbusters, Aliens, the Indiana Jones trilogy, and more on VHS a lot. I remember watching Robocop on television and while they censored the swearing ("Once I even called him...airhead"), they still showed a lot of violence and it was pretty clear that Murphy got his loving hand blown off and was all hosed up. This was all well before I was 10 years old. I also watched weird kids movies like Return to Oz, which was like my favorite movie as a kid. I think mainstream movies are definitely more sanitized nowadays. Studios try to market to as many people as possible so they try not to offend anyone and make it so that everyone can come to their movie.

My friend takes his 9 year old daughter to pretty much every R rated movie and her favorite show is the Walking Dead. She's the coolest kid ever. Against my sister's wishes whenever I had my niece and nephew over we always watched all the awesome 80's movies mentioned above. They're great kids. Feel sorry for all the little Mike Pences being raised out here by lovely helicopter parents.

If you want to know how utterly dickless Hollywood is, consider that there are 2 Die Hard movies rated PG-13, and stuff as tame as The Matrix gets an R. Basically PG-13 is a teeny-tiny grey area between PG and R, and R is this massive end of the spectrum that goes from a lesbian kiss all the way to a parade of dicks being severed by wheat threshers.
