Toys I watched this movie with a few of my friends and they didn't really like it, I understand why but I can't bring myself to not love it. Plot: Famous toymaker dies and instead of leaving it to his son (Robin Williams) he leaves it to his general brother (Michael Gambon) who in turn enlists his son (LL Cool J). He decides to MOTHERFUCKING INVENT DRONE WARFARE and recruit kids using video games. This movie was released in 1992. Why I love it: -The set design is surreal as hell. Most shots look like they come from a fever dream. -Soundtrack is great. Has the superior Frankie Goes to Hollywood song on it. (Welcome to the Pleasuredome). -Weird things just happen in scenes and the characters just roll with it. One scene has two characters drive through the factory and they stop to let toy ducks cross. No one mentions this. -You think you know where it's going, but you really don't. -Weaponized MTV. -"Sorry folks, the general needed more room." -The outdoor shots were fillmed on the Windows XP background. Nobody, not even bad movie podcasts, talk about it. Wish more people would check it out.
