I think for me it’s alien: covenant. I was really interested in the ideas explored in prometheus and covenant just expanded on them. I don’t get much into the details of why it is or isn’t a good movie.
Luckily, though, HBO ran raised by wolves which really delved into ideals about AI and planet seeding etc. So that itch got way scratched even if the run was cut short.

Waterworld. I love that movie so much. I’ve watched the theatrical, TV, and Ulysses cuts. I’ve read the comics. I’ve played the games. I bought it on Blu-ray the day Arrow released it.
The Last Dragon and Bloodsports.
Freddie Got Fingered. SOOOO ahead of its time. I love Tom Green.
Death Race 2050
Dr Suess The Cat in The Hat with Mike Myers
Super Mario Bros (1993)
It was objectively a trainwreck but it was awesome when you were 8 and It brought video games to the big screen for the first time. I will always love it.
There are dozens of us who agree. Dozens.

My friend Garrett Gilchrist has bee trying to restore that movie to something closer to Morton and Jankel’s original vision for years now. I keep meaning to watch it because I do think that the movie had a lot of good ideas even if it was a mess.

People also forget that what most Americans knew about Mario at the time was that he jumped on mushrooms and turtles to rescue the princess.
But Morton and Jankel made both versions of the Max Headroom TV series. I absolutely give them credit.
This is awesome, thanks for sharing.
Street Kings, 2008.
Has anyone mentioned “the room”? Im gonna reccommend it. It’s so bad, it’s good.
Off topic but it needs to be said :
Star wars 7, 8 and 9 aren’t terrible. Or if they are, they are in the same way 4, 5 and 6 were. (we don’t talk about 1, 2 and 3)
Nostalgia is not a synonym for quality.
I’ll dissolve into the force on that hill.
You may resume your ongoing activities.
I’m partial to Last Days on Mars, and I’m one of those weirdos who loved both the book and movie versions of Cloud Atlas.

YEAST LORDS!
13th Warrior. Solid action. Antonio Banderas and Vikings. Dudes taking care of business.
Bears?
IS THERE A CAVE?
Was that the one loosely based on Beowulf? I saw it in the theater and didn’t have a problem with it.
Aha!
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_13th_Warrior
“based on Michael Crichton’s 1976 novel Eaters of the Dead,[5] which is a loose adaptation of the tale of Beowulf combined with Ahmad ibn Fadlan’s historical account of the Volga Vikings.”
Crichton, man. His influence was just astounding. Obligatory “fuck cancer”.
When you die can I give that to me sister?
I like that movie quite a bit. Watched it many times. Didn’t realize it was so critically disliked. :(
I enjoyed it for the most part, but the scene that’s always stuck with me is when Antonio Banderas’s character learns to speak the Viking language. Hearing the way he said “I listened” made me want to listen more to see what I could learn.
That was a great line
Definitely a 10/10 movie for me. Without hesitation.
This is one of those that HBO or something played non-stop for no apparent reason. It took me like 20 times clicking past it to finally watch it all but in the end I was ok with it.
- Michael Mans ‘Miami Vice’ 2006. Absolute shit rating is probably to hard, but the reviews back then were underwhelming (I remember ‘style over substance’ as a quote)
- The original XXX with Vin Diesel. It feels that nobody got the joke, that it is a parody of the James Bond movies, although a James Bond look alike literally gets killed within the first scenes of the movie…
The Amazing Bulk.
