BASEketball. I can't justify it, but I've watched it probably a dozen times since my roommate introduced it to me in college. Ditto Cannibal! The Musical. Whoever said Six String Samurai, I do love it (introduced me to The Red Elvises, for one thing) but I've never met anyone who hates it -- they either don't know it, or they like it. 15 years ago I'd have listed Lynch's Dune but it's had a well-deserved reappraisal over the last decade. Similarly the 1977 The Hobbit looks a hell of a lot better when you compare it to that crap trilogy we got not long ago (I hated it as a kid, but kind of love it now).

Creature posted:My friend and I watched Baseketball repeatedly when we were 12 or 13. Unfortunately we were easily influenced morons and picked up a few verbal habits that weren't so cool in hindsight. You mean a tendency to say "Steeeeeeeeve Perry" when somebody is trying to do something involving hand-eye coordination? Yeah I've got that one too.

It was fine, the main problem is that a movie can't possibly capture the real magic: being 13 and reading the book for the very first time.

Ominous Jazz posted:The first movie this year was the Super Mario Brothers movie. That movie is a freakshow. how did this get made. why is it so horny. why is dennis hopper playing king koopa like he played Frank from Blue Velvet. It's horrible to watch, it's only loosely connected to mario. fantastic addition to bad movie month. i never bothered to check out this movie before but now I'm intrigued

Glass Punkbull 141 posted:New podcast. Cool. I'll listen to it at work. They're fun, although doing one-off reviews is not their usual shtick. Their network's ads are 1) automatically inserted with no respect to the show content, and 2) utterly loving atrocious, though.

One summer when my youngest sister was 5, she insisted on watching the VHS of Where the Red Fern Grows--or "Billy", as she called it--pretty much every single day.

teen witch posted:Good god was your sister made of steel? We read the book and watched the movie once in our fifth grade class and both book and movie turned into a room of children weeping. I think when you're 5 it's a movie with lots of neat dogs, and then at the end Billy is sad. Fifth graders are twice that age and presumably have more sophisticated understandings of death. As a kid I was never particularly affected by pathos in books or movies; I don't think I cried at a movie until I was in my 20s. Kid-me cried when our dog died, sure, but a story was just a story.

CzarChasm posted:Slurs in a Clint Eastwood movie? Yeah, almost definitely. While the monkey movies are comedies, they are comedies from the 70s featuring Eastwood, so yeah, offensive language is almost guaranteed and also IIRC there are some rapey overtones. Maybe Cline Eastwood is not the star you want to follow. High Plains Drifter blows way past overtones in the first 5 minutes to make sure you don't get confused and think Eastwood is playing a hero... Good enough movie otherwise but makes for an awkward start to movie night with mom & sister.

PuttyKnife posted:I never felt more patriotic than when they fired up the old ww2 battleship with all the old veterans while AC/DC blasted in the background. I think you mean the old WW2/Korean/Gulf War battleship because they stuck it in the harbor for 30 years and then reactivated it in the 80s. They slapped Tomahawk launchers on it and installed some of those old compact Macs which were still on the desks when I toured it in 2007. OT sure but the Missouri is a loving cool ship.
