...or people who didn't emerge from the womb as fully grown curmudgeons.

i was about 18 when Goonies came out, so I wasn't the target audience then any more than I am now. It's for CHILDREN, which wouldn't be a problem if it wasn't also shit.
 
I sense a deep sadness at your very core. I genuinely feel for you, because the capacity to enjoy those sorts of films truly enriches my life.

Have you considered getting into Will Ferrell?
 
Allonsfan - scathing attack on dillentante-ism amongst political radicals from the genius Taviani brothers. A (very) thinly disguised commentary on the extra-parliamentary politics of early 70s Italy masqeurading as a period piece.

I don't tend to find poorly made kids films or appallingly cheesy, dreadfully scripted "action" movies enriching, sorry.


Anchorman is very funny, Talladega Nights is watchable.

Water's nearly completely covered your throne now, Sire...sure you won't think about just coming back on the beach and having an ice cream or something? Play on the arcades, maybe?

You appear to have misunderstood the point Canute was trying to make..
 
That's lined up for later this week - someone has just made subs for their early film The Subversives on KG, which i've been after for years so watching that first.

i really wish i hadn't got booted from Karagarga. It was one of the first private trackers sites I got onto, when I didn't really get how torrenting worked. Wrong place to fuck up :(
 
I liked it :D

What did you like about it, if you don't mind my asking? Not having a pop at all, just I LOVED Transformers when I was a kid - LOVED them and really thought it was so well written they just HAD to exist somewhere in real life - so I went in really wanting to love it...but I HATED it! Worst let down since the Phant...the Phaaaaaa.....the Phanto.....that piece of shit masquerading as a Star Wars film a few years back.
 
I didn't watch the cartoon very much when I was younger, so had no expectations of the film. Knew it was going to be Hollywood tat, and it was :D harmless film, not one I'll watch again, but was entertaining.

i didn't watch the cartoon cos I was already too old, so again I watched it expectation-free, and just thought it was a good laugh.
 
I liked Transformers too - it had 2 attractive leads, enough humour to leaven the occassionally ponderous morality, and great CGI of giant robots kicking the shit out of each other.
 
I think it was just very meaningful to me when I was a kid, so it was just a HUGE let down

if i may be so bold, i think this might be an ongoing issue with you :p

The Goonies is another example, I reckon - you value things based on what they meant at the time (like, when you were a kid) and can't believeit when other people don't like them cos when they saw them they weren't kids.

or something.
 
I thought the robot fights in Transformers were splendid.

Buuuuut - did anyone else get the feeling that the same people who made that car advert with the skating robots did the film and kind of ruined it by the advert coming out first?

That must be why I don't find Muffin the Mule that entertaining :(
