Just re watched Overboard, loved that movie as a kid, but man it’s actually pretty twisted and fucked up, though Goldie Hawn is still awesome in it. Listen to We Hate Movies, they do a great podcast on it.
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?!
Aurora’s Chicken Pepperoni!
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?
