I think it was Problem Child 2, yeah? She was the mum of the little girl. But yeah.

Hah. Problem Child. What the fuck happens to time? I forgot that movie even existed.

Men in Tights is a relic from an era where movies that were big enough got spoofs all their own. Before Scary Movie and Not Another Teen Movie started meta-spoofing. I lost interest when that shit happened.

Remember the good old days? Top Gun had Hot Shots (and First Blood/Rambo had Hot Shots Part Deux: Just Deux It ... aaahahaha!) and Lethal Weapon had Loaded Weapon. Good fucking times.

Always loved redheads.

Amy Yasbeck is her name, and she's actually in both Problem Child movies, playing different characters each time.

Aha! Yes, I remember now! She was totally on Wings. Terrible show. Really one of the worst sitcoms ever. She was also in the Mask and Pretty Woman. :D

The Warriors

This one never gets old. Pure comfort food.

Although this version was a directors cut with some cartoon inserts. Not sure they really worked but still, baseball furies and all that. Can't go wrong.

I enjoyed this.

tw2113 12.12.2016 05:41 PM

Is that Madonna and Billy Joe Armstrong?

tw2113 12.12.2016 05:42 PM

I don't care what anyone says, I do enjoy Titanic still.

Fuck off that's EXACTLY what I thought when I first saw the poster :eek:

And yeah, Titanic is corny and lugubrious as fuck but I'm pretty sure I'd watch it from start to finish, happily, even in 2016.

When it came out I thought it was really visually impressive. But I thought it was like a cake made entirely of frosting.

tw2113 12.12.2016 08:26 PM

It was definitely parodied a lot and overplayed to death at the time, but I believe as an overall story, it holds up. Just need to get away from the massive over-saturation from the end of the 90s.

RocknRolla.

You know why they call me Tank, don't you Archie?
Well, I imagine it's because you're a dirty great big bloody black bastard
Think tank, nothing gets past the old think tank, Archie

!@#$%! 12.14.2016 03:11 PM

i've never seen titanic.

between the musical atrocity and the trailer, plus the kind of people who raved about it, i just stayed away

maybe i'm missing out just to be all hipster-like

i did see the analysis of it on zizek's guide to the movies or whatever that's called

but seriously i have no desire

can anyone convince me i'm wrong? give it a shot.

noisereductions 12.14.2016 03:17 PM

I saw Titanic once. In the theater. Because a girl. I was a teenager.

I don't remember it being horrible. But I don't remember caring either. And I don't have any interest in seeing it a second time, really.

Hah! Same here buddy. Ditto for another, lesser known movie with a Celine Dion song in it, Up Close and Personal. So many crap movies I've seen "because girls."

No, you're probably right. I just remember it being visually appealing, like I said, and the snippets of old timey Manhatten are cool. The love story is, if I remember correctly, quite heavy handed, though Leo is fun to watch as plucky young class warrior Jack.

Oh, there is Kate Winslet nakedness in it. Like... 1997 Kate Winslet nakedness. So that's reason enough for a lot of folks. Also, the nakedness is FF because somehow the fact that it's faux-historical makes the boobies important.

:D

It never should have won an Oscar though. Jesus Christ. Not that that was a particularly great year, but Good Will Hunting was a soulful and lovely movie, should have won Best Picture out of the shit selection (Full Monty was fun and stuff, but meh)

!@#$%! 12.15.2016 10:22 AM

yeah, that particular girl at that particular time failed to convince me

to be honest, i was only interested in her fine hams, not her conversation

so things did not pan out in the end

noisereductions 12.15.2016 10:23 AM

Good Will Hunting is one of my favorite movies ever.
