Egbert Souse posted: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. But... but nobody's neck is as incredibly thick as Gaston's! and what? The Sandlot is a bad movie? Since when?

I found a big box copy of Treasure of the Four Crowns and while I loved the hell out of that movie the first time I saw it as a teenager playing on late night TV, I'm hesitant to watch it again years later because I know it can't hold up to how great it was the first time I saw it.

Say Nothing posted:Come to think of it, what the hell was with Heinlein and his creepy obsession with incest? Genre writers have a habit of injecting their sexual hang-ups into stories. I really hope Heinlein was just into incest as a fetish the way a whole bunch of generic porn seems to be, but it's hard to say. On-topic : Fern Gully, The Land Before Time, Spice World, and the Power Rangers movie.

I think I maybe have a legit one that tried to revisit and gave up on: Mallrats. I was a huge fan of it in the 90s and then years passed and I hadn't seen it since. But I thought every critic who hated it was just wrong. Then I got around to watching it again and I couldn't get more than about half way through before I shut it off. Now, that was about 10 years ago. Today, I don't know how a rewatch would make me feel. It's a film that makes me wonder if the 'modern' reaction to it with a mainstream audience would be a little better since you've got geek pop culture faces in it like Affleck, Stan Lee and Rooker, you've got the steady stream of comic book nerd references that I'm not sure if they WOULD tickle a modern comic book movie-saavy audience the same way who at least now would have a greater passing knowledge of the characters, etc.

Mallrats sucks. It's not a total wash, but it's still a juvenile mess even by Kevin Smith standards.

mind the walrus posted:Mallrats sucks. It's not a total wash, but it's still a juvenile mess even by Kevin Smith standards. I do think he mentioned at one time it was sort of his version of the dumb 80s comedy romps, though, that I think were becoming more scarce. I guess we might have still had stuff like The Jerky Boys movie, Kingpin and Something About Mary, The Pest, most Jim Carrey flicks and a few others probably also could have easily almost been films you'd seen in the 80s. I guess along those lines, Revenge of the Nerds is probably going to be the universal pinnacle of this thread. I've not seen it in years and I'm sure the cringe factor if I watched it again would be like 10 times higher than that of Foodfight if I gave it another shot.

I like Kevin Smith. The shows where he just stands on stage and talks for a couple hours are good and funny. That being said, I was never a fan of Mallrats, Clerks, Chasing Amy. He's an awesome person, but most of his movies are pretty bad. Red State was good, though.

Animal House is pretty hosed in some parts. A dude has a literal devil/angel shoulder conversation about raping an underage girl passed out at a party. Most of it holds, but the parts that don't really really don't.

Turns out the guys at National Lampoon in the 70s and 80s were the kinds of privileged white guys from privileged universities who could get away with really rotten poo poo and laugh about it, to the point where they considered it a universal experience worth sharing with mass audiences. Honestly I'm shocked there wasn't and isn't more backlash. Also racism and classisn from John Hughes in particular. The original Vacation story had a super racist part where the family drives through an Indian reservation, replaced with the inner city in the movie. Plus laughing at Cousin Randy and his family for being so drat poor.

It is more enjoyable if you remember an excellent front page article from 2007: http://www.somethingawful.com/news/jet-li-death/ For me, Ghostbusters 2 gets a lot of hate but I still love it. Everything from 1988-89 is cool.

We had revenge of the nerds on VHS , recorded from hbo. My mom had never seen it straight through and thought it had a good message about the nerds winning. We'd pause it whenever a nude scene was coming up if she was walking through the room and watched it probably 50 times. My wife and I went to a Halloween party this year as the cheerleader and Lewis (Gilbert?). It still owns.

He was effeminate but he was unequivocally accepted by the tri lambs. He won the javelin toss using the javelin that took advantage of his unique hold and release (gay), and he helped them win the final talent event by rapping. Maybe the ABs made fun of him but if so it was not a big scene- I'm not remembering anything. Lamar ruled.

Almost all the humor about his character is "look at this faggy fag being ever so faggy," which is not cool. gently caress that movie.
