Me tooooo! “Veddy intersting ... but shtupid!” Ruth Buzzy beating people over the head with her pirde! “Say good night, Dick!” “Good night, Dick!” Dan Rowan’s ever-present cigarette!

Rape by deception and raping drunk girls was really popular. Remember Sixteen Candles and Revenge of the Nerds?
I’ve loved Goldie Hawn since her days on “Laugh-In.” Yep, I’m that old. I used to watch “Laugh-In” every week. I was 6 or 7 and didn’t understand most of the jokes, but I laughed my head off anyway. I thought Lily Tomlin was hilarious and Goldie was both funny and pretty.
This. So many movies and tv shows we grew up with were so backwards. . . and to think “Overboard” was considered a child friendly movie.
they are doing a remake of Overboard, but roles reversed. Anna Faris is starring.
I was curious about what people’s opinions on Overboard are around here. I thought it was hilarious when I was younger (I think I was 11 when I first saw it) but even at that age I knew Kurt Russell straight up committed a bunch of felonies in the service of taming Goldie’s shrew character and all the ethical problems…
This is not a good idea. Let the original stand. It is a treasure.
Protocol!!
The lineup is lacking Protocol! That movie taught me so much (and I was a kid so there was a lot to learn): emus exist, DuPont Circle is a gay friendly neighborhood, politicians use people regardless of how it might harm the usee, “loins” is another word for genitals...
Private Benjamin: One of the greatest feminist movies of all time.
I think Death Becomes Her is an amazing, cutting satire with something great in it every minute and would never call it clunky.
But what about Bird on a Wire?!
Shame they’re not showing There’s a Girl in My Soup with Peter Sellers.
I’ve seen most of his films and Lynch generally annoys me for being intentionally oblique while pretending it’s complex and arty. I LOVE Wild at Heart though. And was a huge teen age fan of Twin Peaks when it first aired. But mostly what I wanted to comment on is your reaction to Easerhead—I had a similar one to…
It’s worth checking out if you’re a completist. It’s extremely... arty. Experimental. (And other euphemisms for “unwatchable.”)
Did I wake up in a universe where Eraserhead doesn’t exist?
I’m guessing damn fine coffee? And some cherry pie?
