Was it? I honestly don’t remember hearing anybody talking about it after its initial theater run, and even then, there wasn’t really a whole lot of buzz. At the time, it seemed like a perfectly serviceable movie that made a fair amount of money, but it certainly didn’t seem like a cultural milestone of the early 90s.

I am once again surprised to learn that yet another film I saw once 30-some years ago and kind of enjoyed then completely forgot about has since achieved cult classic status.

I actually really like the water along the Jersey Shore, although I realize this probably comes from a different source than north Jersey and NYC.

West of Pittsburgh, the water in large parts of the Great Lakes region has a very chlorinated taste. It almost makes your mouth feel somewhat dry after you drink it, and you can often seen a green crystal build up on water fountains and faucets. I can understand why someone who didn’t grow up with that taste might…

Or experience places more interesting than the inside of a bar.

Did they previously call those artificial-filled concoctions simply as a “drink”? I remember my school sold something orange flavored that wasn’t juice and it wasn’t soda, it was just called “orange drink”.

I’m surprised Salo didn’t make the list. I have no desire to see it even once, but everyone I’ve known who has seen it basically says ‘Yeah, I’m never watching that again.”

The Maine Snapper sounds like a Knackwurst.

Boeuf bourguignon is one of my favorite meals, and I make it several times a year.  I’m pretty certain I don’t need to pretend to know about it.

I made that mistake, thinking it was a small andouille.  Nope, not at all.  I love French food, but that was one of the single most disgusting things I’ve ever eaten.  The mustard didn’t help me.

The Flemish vigorously claim ownership of that one, as mosselen en fritjes.

I saw this movie in from start to beginning exactly once, when it came out in 1994 (although because I worked in a movie theater at the time, I saw bits and pieces of it over and over again), so my memory on the film probably isn’t great, but that was my interpretation. For Leon, the relationship was purely paternal…

Honestly, this whole trope of “being a child is great and it is a tragedy that kids have to grow up” needs to die.

The world of Neverland in this film looks like it was filmed by Tim Burton on one of his least creative days.

I’m a little late to this reply, but ironically, I didn’t catch COVID until after my autumn trip to Canada.  So, it couldn’t have been my taste buds.

I’ve been to that McDonalds on the Champs Elysees.  Not to eat, but because as of 2008, it was one of the few places in the area where you could just walk in and use the toilet.

Was anyone else here particularly disturbed by the scene where the women gets sucked into the computer and transformed into an android?   I could never watch this scene as a kid.

While I understand some don’t like Octopussy, this is the first I’ve heard anyone complain about For Your Eyes Only.  In my mind, that’s the best of Moore’s Bond films.

From his perspective, it couldn’t even have been a shitty job.  He got to hang out in the Bahamas for awhile, doing a role that really didn’t require much of him.

Adult me is still quite fond of Maud Adams.  A Bond girl so sexy they used her twice.
