Almost all of them switched to zinc now instead of selenium
Now that you mention it, this movie is on my "alternative timelines" list, because I swear when I originally saw it it was Selsun Blue, not Head & Shoulders.
I've had others agree with me; it's The Berenstein Bears all over again.
Might be one of those localisation things to replace it with a product known better to the local community?
beat me to it.
back when Arrival came out - my wife kept referencing Evolution as if suggesting the characters a way to deal with hostile aliens. would've made a better movie if they did it.
Are you suggesting Arrival is a bad movie?
No. Furthest from it. But my impression of this movie is forever shaded by my wife referencing the shampoo weapon from Evolution and it is a funny thing to think about. Remember Sunshine? The bomb the sun movie that goes fuck it and morphs into a space slasher - it would've been this kind of tonal shift out of nowhere.
I love this movie. It's in my category of "I didn't say it was high cinema, I said it was fun!" movies.
it's like this lost Ghostbusters sibling movie. i like to think that it takes place in the same universe
I always get high when i watch this.
Never watched it high, but I have a goal for this weekend now,!
I remember this movie turning into a Head and Shoulders advert in the end.
and it was so gloriously stupid it worked. something movies just need to get fucking stupid.
"Don't let them take my leg."
"Is there anything you can do? He thinks he's an athlete."
"Well we cou-.. oh, it looks like it's headed toward the penis."
"TAKE IT!!! TAKE THE LEG!!!"
lmao so funny
It feels like some lost Ghostbusters movie.
Dude! Ivan Reitman directed both Ghostbusters AND Evolution. And lots of people think of it as a cousin to Ghostbusters. Not sure if you knew that and were making reference to that but if not now you know.
of course i knew about that. And it would've been fun to have a crossover between ghosts and aliens... oh wait... final fantasy did that...
Did they steal the three eye smiley from Transmetropolitan?
Possible, although it's not impossible that it was independently created.
The longest fart joke ever
Le Petomane would've been proud.
And Head and Shoulders commercial
