Ask Lemmy

It is a terrible movie that is also a glorious spectacle and everyone (except Kevin Costner) is fantastic. Nothing makes any sense, but is fun to see and frequently illogically clever.

Watched it last week!

I've never understood why everyone dislikes this movie. I've loved it since I first watched it.

The thing about Waterworld is that it's a) a lot of fun, and b) absolutely terrible, but it's only terrible in the way that most movies of that time were terrible. It has this outsized reputation for being bad which is mostly down to the fact that it lost a lot of money (because it was extremely expensive to shoot and audiences immediately clocked it as being a Mad Max rip off with no new ideas to bring to the table). It's no more awful than any other summer action blockbuster of its time, and it has plenty of fun moments in amongst all the usual trash.

hudson hawk gets rewatched here all the time. it is a good movie.

Crash... and Burn!

I watch this at least annually just because. Mix of cheese, nostalgia, I don't know.

Hack the planet.

Some movies are just good fun, and Nicolas Cage is frankly in a lot of those kind of flicks. Con Air is up there, too.

I feel personally attacked. It's better than the first film.

Los locos kicn your ass, los locos kick your face, los locos kick your balls into outer spaaaaace!

A great performance by Michael McKean as always.

We just don't talk about Fisher Stevens. Poor guy deeply regrets the role.

Punked out Johnny Five is the best Johnny Five.

There's no shame here. Punk Johnny 5 zooming in to save the day, sparks flying, I Need a Hero blasting.... Peak cinema.

Why would you be ashamed of this?

Also Hard Ticket to Hawaii

I don't know any other film that passes the Bechdel test in a scene where two former Playboy models are topless in a hot tub together and talk about something other than men (there are no men in the scene, just the two women). A very unique and strange way to pass the Bechdel test that feels like it undermines the entire point of the Bechdel test existing.

There is no regret in loving this movie, it is a masterpiece.

Robocop singing power ballads.

Jeff Goldblum in a goofy cowboy outfit.

John Lithgow as a scientist gone mad from what he's seen and Christopher Lloyd as a weird alien.

God it's a fucking treasure along the lines of Big Trouble in Little China.

heck im not ashamed of liking that one.

The first Cannonball Run is a classic shit movie. You gotta put it on your list

I thought it was hilarious John Liguzamo was talking so much bullshit about having the race actor/acress matching the characters race. As he played a fuckibg Italian plumber as a Columbian. Dudes a total hypocrite.

We recently watched the old Peter Pan, and I never realized Tinkerbell was a murderous hoe.

I love this movie and I have never seen any of it as being pedo. I have always felt that love being expressed in was between 2 abused people finding a kinship and love that they had both always been denied. It's about a child who loves and adores her savior and first person to ever be a parental figure. Someone who literally goes on a massive killing spree and gives up his own life to save her. And it's about someone who has been isolated and unloved his entire life suddenly finding his first real friendship and first real experience of someone loving him with no reservations, expectations, or demands. The type of love that only an innocent child can express towards a parent or caretaker. The movie does this amazing job of framing the development of this beautiful and deep kinship inside of an incredibly violent action movie. I adore this movie and the amazing acting and directing that went into it. I really wish that the director wasn't a complete and certified pedo, but I think that it's entirely possible that everyone came together and made this a beautiful movie despite, and even in spite of, the director being a pedo.
