I only watched the original which was dumb as all hell, never saw the sequel.

Although it cracked me up to find that they shot this pretty vindictive extra which made it onto the XXX 2 DVD where they use a body double to kill off Xander Cage in a very gruesome way.

Hahaha goddamn, did VIN Diesel burn a bridge or something to deserve this kind of scornful treatment of his character? Keep in mind I saw the original xXx when it came out, and all I know about xXx2 is that it stars Ice Cub.

Seeing Jurassic Park in theaters was one of the highlights of my childhood, especially as a kid who was obsessed with dinosaurs. Also scared the poo poo out of me, but scary parts really made those kinds of movies memorable as kids. See also: the Neverending Story.

They should have just gotten a Golden Lab for that scene, those jokers love water. And then the next scene, back to German Shepherd without acknowledging the change.

The Lab should have a tennis ball in his mouth and he's wagging his tail vigorously.

Sean Connery's character got ahold of some info revealing the truth about a bunch of conspiracy stuff, like the JFK assassination and Roswell. He managed to hide the data in the form of microfilm, but was imprisoned for like 30 years secretly by the US government.

At the end of the movie Cage retrieves the info.

There's been weirdly dressed teenager cliques handing out at the mall and smoking since the 1950s. I wouldn't be shocked if Hot Topic turns out to be one of those stores that never dies out no matter how terrible they seem, like RadioShack.

Crichton reused the plot of Westworld so much that even Timeline was about a company trying to build a theme park and everything going wrong, only this time the gimmick was that they were using time travel to build a theme park in actual medieval times.

That's the thing, you look at these characters and see "white people" but that's not necessarily the case, the intent, or the way the original audience saw it.

The main characters are named "Spike Spiegel" and "Faye Valentine". Sounds white as gently caress to me.

Emma Watson was found out to have money in a hidden overseas tax haven. Sure there are many legitimate reasons for a rich and famous person to do this, like anonymity, but the idea that Emma Watson is secretly evil and is using it to fund international terrorism or the slave trade in Mauritania or something is too good to pass up.

Outside of the various "red-title-on-white-background" comedy movies of the 2000s, white background was pretty much firmly a later '60s to '70s movie poster trope...

Dude, Hercules had horrible production polish and values. "gently caress Centaurs." and so much poo poo outside of Ian McShane.

I was actually surprised to find myself enjoying Hercules as I watched it. I grudgingly went to see it with a friend who's a huge Rock fan. I was completely won over at the end of it, and it remains one of the only Dwayne Johnson roles that I actually liked I've seen him in The Mummy, The Rundown, Walking Tall, and that's pretty much it

But Ian McShane elevates every scene he's in for sure. Especially when he's about to die by a flaming spear as prophesied and it doesn't happen and he's so put out.

I remember the Sex Drive unrated special edition was a hilarious movie to get drunk to. Here's the opening.

They literally just green screen a bunch of naked people in during random scenes. Also Seth Green was really loving funny as the Amish car mechanic

I haven't seen Eurotrip since it came out on DVD and we watched it on a sleepover, so I have no idea how it holds up, but I still think about the ongoing "Scotty Doesn't Know" gag once in a while and it cracks me up.

The LotR movies are very weird to me in that I saw them opening night and a few times afterwards, bought the special edition DVDs and have never once felt inclined to watch them since.

LotR definitely feels like a huge time investment. They seem a little daunting when I go to dust off the DVDs (because it's either watch all or none of them and I really have to have NOTHING going on that day).
