was excited to watch back to the future with my kid, then remembered that a key plot point is Michael j fox's mom being sexually assaulted at the school dance... Really sucked the fun out of that idea. Yeah they interrupt the sexual assault, but it's still a hosed up plot point to casually insert. So many "classic" movies and shows have poo poo like this that we'd all just chuckle at as kids

In The Wizard, teenaged Jenny Lewis just blatantly on-the-spot falsely accuses a man of molesting her in public. Luckily for him he just gets kicked out of the building rather than arrested (I think). Not so lucky for him, he's later confronted by the girl's trucker friends, who proceed to beat him up. When I was a kid I thought this was all funny cause they said "breast." Now I still think it's funny but more out of the outrageousness of putting this into a kids movie. (And also because the guy's defense is something like "No, I didn't touch her breast, she doesn't have breasts!")

All the cop movies from like the late 70s to the early 90s def hit different, with police taking things into their own hands. Too many depressing recent irl examples of just that and I think the popularity of those movies helped get the US in that situation

It's hard to say "scene", but as a film studies studying, horror loving, working class kid who could drink to no ill effect, I watched a lot of American Movie thinking Mark was a a guy with a dream just fighting against his situation. And now I think he's a manipulative alcoholic who neglects his children, abuses his mother, has no gratitude for his best friend and can't discern between suffering and graft. Also Coven loving sucks.

Wasn't Air Buda boy? Which makes Air Bud:World Pup even weirder because they let a male dog onto a women's soccer team. Surely they could get him on that technically even if a dog can't play.

There's a long history of pangender animal actor roles, Air Bud was just following in Lassie's footsteps More on topic, the Simpsons set back public perception of nuclear power by more than a third of a century and we still haven't recovered

In Mary Poppins, after the chimney sweeps have left the Banks house and Bert is packing up, he has a scene with George Banks, where they sing A Man Has Dreams, to the tune of The Life I Lead, where Bert basically gets Banks to realise that he has misplaced his priorities and needs to spend more time with his children. I always thought it was well done, but now as a father with a fairly demanding job and two adorable children of my own, it definitely has more of an emotional wallop.

(That's always correct and not something that the victim of torture says just to get the torture to stop.)

Disney's Pocahontas 1) Mel Gibson being cast as the White Savior who empathizes with indiginous folks (lolllll) 2) it looks like butt, their faces slide everywhere what is GOING ON Disney. the only ones who look consistently good in this film are the villains, who were allowed to be cartoons. 3) 90s liberalism - the indiginous folks defending themselves are depicted as just as 'wrong' as the white men attacking them in a war song that is just 'both sides - the song' this poo poo doesn't hold up https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1YiAzyCzZzw&t=45s StrangersInTheNight fucked around with this message at 20:21 on Jun 9, 2023 |

A 90's Disney film that hits way harder as an adult though: The Hunchback of Notre Dame Beautiful and powerful imagery. Extremely dark. If the gargoyles weren't in it there would basically be no humor. Frodo tries to burn down Paris because he can't gently caress Esmerelda. It's not even subtle, it's blatantly spelled out.

Which makes the Big Bad overconfident and absolutely not see the catch-and-return coming. His shtick was that he was only "good" at things when he wasn't thinking about it and trying to be good/cool. The knife throw is a perfect example of it, he tries to be cool and fails but absolutely nails it when the knife gets thrown back at him because its on reflex instead Dragonstoned fucked around with this message at 06:22 on Jun 10, 2023 |

Monsters University was a dumb movie but it explains why Randall is the way he is. For anyone that had the COLLEGE COLLEGE COLLEGE poo poo told to you for a decade or so, you need college to get a good job. You're in college. Maybe you had to go to college to get a good job. So you take out loans or get scholarships, you bust your rear end to do your best, you get invited to one of the head frats, and you keep working hard. Your roommate is a loving natural at memorizing but he isn't getting ahead in class. In fact he and a bully get expelled for their fuckups. But you keep working on as hard as you can. Your ex-roommate pops back up and wants you to leave your frat to join his, but you got plans. You've worked hard, you aren't going to join a loser frat that could get you expelled if you lose the championship game. But you do lose it. Now you find out later that the other team cheated, and that bully and your ex-friend get expelled AGAIN. Your frat probably kicked you out because you helped them lose the game. Whatever, you work more and graduate and you get your Dream Job with your hard earned degree. And then one day those two assholes show up at your work. Now they worked their way up from poo poo detail, but suddenly they're your loving peers and they get mad respect and everyone loves them when they didn't even graduate? You spent all that time and money on a degree, and in the end some rear end in a top hat bully gets to do your dream job alongside you because he's Natural Talent, which beats hard work any day. Doesn't matter that he flunked out of school or got expelled; he's chummy with the manager so he's in.
