Nobody gives a poo poo what it was originally named It lifted just enough of the themes, plot and dialog necessary It replaced the Mary Sue fantasy military government of the book with the first-hand lived experience of real Fascism It took a big hot steamy dump all over the Boy Scout boot-licking you love so much It is a perfect film

Vakal posted:The main point was how it was originally titled Bug Hunt at Outpost Nine then changed to Starship Troopers later. I have a tough time believing that Tri-Star and Sony would allow the name 'Bug Hunt at Outpost Nine' for a $100 million+ budget movie. It sounds like that was the title of the initial draft. When it was renamed 'Starship Troopers' there were still rewrites being made to make the movie more closely resemble the book (which is still a very loose comparison). On a side note.....it appears that a remake is in the works. Something much closer to the novel.

mike12345 posted:I thought The Faculty was really cool, still think it should've gotten more attention. I liked that to defeat the aliens, you need to cook/deal drugs first. I recall circa late 90s when it was getting released it was getting a lot of attention from the then young internet geek sites like AICN and others. But I remember it sort of came and went in theaters rather quickly and I don't know why that was given how many things it had going for it. Young cast with a few recognizable faces, young director and writer who were pretty hot at the time, it was part of the new era of teen horror, and it was even a year before Columbine happened so you didn't get a teen violence backlash like you did with stuff like Teaching Mrs. Tingle. According to wiki, it had about a $15M budget with a $40M domestic, so at that time it probably was good for a company like Miramax. Robokomodo posted:When I was a kid, my mom was obsessed with "Adventures in Babysitting" so I've probably seen it at least 150 times. I didn't really get tired of it because Elisabeth Shue is smoking hot. Anyone seen it recently? The Disney Channel apparently remade it a while back, which surprised me to no end. I would have assumed it was such a big 80s-era adventure comedy that you could have out and out remade it theatrically with a more popular cast, larger budget, some in-jokes, and changed stuff around a bit.

I used to watch "Rock-a-Doodle" a lot as a kid, I think because it was on TV all the time. Some friends of mine were watching it when I was in college, and I was surprised not just at how nonsensical the plot really is, but just how ugly it looks. It's so dark and muddy.

It blew my mind to learn in high school later that Rock-a-Doodle was very, VERY loosely based on one of the Canterbury Tales. I'd like to say I don't remember the animation being that bad (it's a Don Bluth, right?) but I haven't seen it in a hundred years. Probably the last time I saw A Troll in Central Park too.

Say Nothing posted:I read Heinlein's Starship Troopers as a kid. Watching the movie years later, they had changed so much stuff, I didn't even realize it was based on the book. I read that and enough Heinlein to realize his books are crap. Yes, even Stranger In A Strange Land. He is the most overrated sci-fi author. Starship Troopers the movie is at least coherent as a story, and doesn't try to take you on a wonderland of the author's repressed desires. Yes, it sucks, but Heinlein sucks more.

Yes. Verehoven--a director known for three of the best Scifi satires ever made, which all feature fascist or vaguely fascist/corporatist governing bodies--wasn't aware of the immense Scifi subgenre of hard right and occasionally fascist "future military" porn and how to make fun of it. Truly we cannot tell why he decides to make the decisions he does.

Bonzo posted:Anyone remember Condorman? I have been waiting for someone else to post this pile of crap. I had a 7th birthday party with this as the prime feature. It was rented by my parents on Betamax on my insistence. I saw it as a six year old and thought it was the best thing ever. A man that learns to fly! With wings! and a car with rockets! As I watched it with my seven year old friends, I had the horrible sinking feeling that I was subjecting them to a horrible fate. No one was laughing. Everyone had a fixed smile on their face. As if to say, why have you inflicted this on me. I could only look on and try to offer loot bags full of slightly less suffering (suckers). After this, I was a pariah, all because of this horrible movie that I forced my class mates to watch. One piece of advice to all future parents is to veto all truly terrible movies as needed. Your offspring wont thank you now but they will thank you later.

I "inherited" a "treasure trove" of DVDs a few months back and it was amazing, just amazing. Remember Kangaroo Jack? Yeah, me neither. It was literally a collection of every crap comedy movie from 2002-2010. None of the hits, literally nothing good- just stupid B-comedies that you forgot everything about except the obnoxious trailer. And the thing that blew my mind was these were all nice, new condition (purchased when new for $24.95 or whatever). I just couldn't believe that people would pay money for these particular movies. I've since blocked out which other ones were there.RestingB1tchFace posted:Grandmas Boy Hey this movie was the best at age 15, same with Waiting

I liked pretty much anything Disney as a kid, including The Little Mermaid and Beauty and the Beast. My reaction to seeing them anew as an adult:  On the other hand, I didn't realize that The Lion King is a goddamned masterpiece until I was an adult.

like a cigarette should posted:Hey The Little Mermaid and especially Beauty and the Beast still stand the test of time for me, even though Lion King is leaps and bounds ahead of like everything. The animation is pretty rough. They honestly look like TV quality. Even The Rescuers Down Under had better animation in general. There's a few nice setpieces like the storm and "Kiss the Girl", but it's still subpar. I think it was the first film where they started experimenting with the digital color system, so maybe that's why it looks off. Beauty is probably more me because the Cocteau film is one of my favorites and Disney's film is so pedestrian. The biggest missed opportunity is that Avenant is actually a somewhat likable character in Cocteau's film, while they turned him into an obnoxious idiot as Gaston. It's more annoying since Gaston is obviously modeled after Jean Maris, as is Le Fou after Avenant's friend. I get why they didn't want to stay close to Cocteau's film since it would be too close to Cinderella, but it's still weak storytelling.
