A fully-restored print of Robocop. 

Go that way, really fast. If something gets in your way, turn. 

Morally and culturally, bringing in post-Rodney King Gates as a developer is inexcusable.

That opening scene is so good that the rest of the movie was kind of a letdown for me.

“it is primarily because people don’t way to pay for things. Especially in low income neighborhoods”

I’m on his side here. Watching the clips in 2020, there’s some undeniable energy (and good-natured charm) in Williams’ performance, but in 1992 he’d been doing this same shit for fifteen years, and it felt tired and hacky. Hell, he even did it in Dead Poets Society.

And they only got bolder once they realized they could get away with it.

Gaston is my favorite Disney song of all time, and probably in my top five from any musical. You can feel the absolute joy in every note, every word, every frame of animation. I hope everyone involved knew they had something special on their hands. 

In my youth, I once ran across the street from work to get a couple of candy bars for a co-worker and myself. The candy turned out to be on sale two-for-one, but since I was a jerk I still kept my co-worker’s dollar.

Hmm, maybe. I don't recall the timeline, but you're right: there was a dust-up over Cameron's cut of the film vs the studio's, and I remember some network (NBC?) making a big deal about getting the "world premiere" of the original version (I don't know if the term "director's cut" was in regular use back before Blade…

It also gave me undue optimism for "Use Your Illusion," which turned out to be terrible. 

I can respect that scene’s technical feats and the idea that it’s a moment where Sarah starts to see John as a leader, but yeah... it was unnecessary exposition and it slows the pace down to a halt.

One minor gripe about this movie's legacy: it was one of the first films to have a director's cut prominently sold on the shelves. While it was cool to see deleted scenes, it led to these versions somehow becoming the default releases when DVD rolled out, and nowadays it's tough to find the theatrical (and usually…

T2 is fucking amazing. I was right in the bullseye of the target demographic in 1991: 15-year-old suburban white dude, and I went all-in on every aspect of it. The stunt work and effects (both practical and digital) were unbelievable, and folded into the story so well that your immediate response wasn’t “wow, this…

I lobe debating ranked lists, but damn... this is pretty solid. Hats off, sir. 

It's bad luck just SEEIN' somethin' like that!"

Get back to me if/when you decide to watch the whole thing, and we can really get into calling each other morons then. 

Try the whole show. It’s worth an afternoon of your time, and the king’s tone and attitude work much better in context.

Nah, it’s not some weird political thing. It’s because - beyond the historical significance - “You’ll Be Back” is an incredible breakup song from the perspective of an abusive boyfriend. Dude’s pouty and whiny and unrepentant, and he can’t help being a dick about it even though his power is gone. It’s like an asshole…

As a card-carrying member of Dudes Who Got Picked Last in Gym, Kept Their Shirts On in the Locker Room and Changed in the Bathroom Stall, I can speak for the rest of us when I say: most of us get over it after high school.
