Jake Mustache posted:I never cared too much for the original Superman movies, mostly because he wasn't Batman and Spiderman and also because of all the liberties the filmmakers took, such as reversing the globe/time and ripping the S of his chest and throwing it at that guy. But I did like Superman 3 due to Richard Prior and it all being based on computers or what have you. Would watch every time it came on HBO/Showtime. Last year around when BvSDoJ came out Superman 3 was on a cable channel and I watched. Boy, was it horrible. Cheesy action, dialog, effects, you name it. I was astounded this had ever been made and I hadn't even made it out of the opening scenes. Seeing Richard Prior with the big foam cowboy always make me laugh so I'll watch just that scene. The first Superman movie holds a special plan my heat because it was the first one I saw on a VCR and I was floored that not only could you watch the movie whenever you wanted (didn't have to wait for it to come on TV) but you could also pause, rewind and fast forward. It was like discovering the wheel. I love watching Pump Up the Volume as a teen but that movie now falls into the category where cell phones and the internet could have solved all of their problems. I recently watched the Breakfast Club and found myself agreeing with nearly everything Mr. Vernon said.

Clerks is definitely a product of its time but the acting is bad, with the exception of Randal and Dante. Everyone else is reciting their lines like it's a high school senior play.

The_Franz posted:Speaking of raunchy comedies which don't hold up, add American Pie to the list. Everyone between the ages of 15 and 30 loved it when it came out since it had been years since someone made an old-fashioned R-rated teen sex romp, but watching it now I feel less amused and more fremdschämen at the dialog and gags. It doesn't help when you see all of the people who ended up in dead-end careers because of it either. Seann William Scott never escaped being "the rear end in a top hat", Jason Biggs will forever be "the pie fucker", Tara Reid became a total train wreck, etc... The guy who played Shitbreak is the only one who seems to have a stable career on some CBS autopsy-porn drama for old people. Its also proof that Eugene Levy will never say, "No" to an acting job. He's been in every single one of the direct to DVD sequels.
