Honestly that's a very good point. The only example I can think of is Pulp Fiction, and that is between two secondary characters and is never depicted on screen.

Yeah I liked the review overall but I thought that was kind of weird. I think Mike is completely off base there…has he not heard black actors say how influential and important such things were to them when they were growing up?

"If Plinkett wants these reviews to have the same bite as the old ones, maybe he should get them out a little sooner"

You're pretty naive if you don't think Star Wars was a cash cow franchise long before Disney bought it..

I agree. But the rest of the sequels are all terrible.

This is mostly just frills though. As I said the details are slightly different but the overall points are the same (or very similar) And in fact, the idea of the Terminator looking like a ordinary guy was the initial idea for the T-800. He was supposed to be played initially by Lance Hendrickson.

I was thinking about that the last time I saw it. They would almost certainly never get away with a scene like that if it were made today.

That's a good way of putting it, actually.

Yeah, the first brontosaurus scene is a pretty nasty one. The Brachiosaurus scene, where the head of one appears while Grant, and the kids, are resting in the tree has not aged well. Also, the shot at the end with the T-Rex in the lobby looks pretty dated now.

T-1000 is just another, stronger Terminator. It's actually a pretty good example of what I'm talking about. The point about Sarah Connor I'll concede.

I agree that it's a fantastic action movie. But I honestly don't see how you can say that it isn't essentially a remake of the first. They're almost plot-point for plot-point the same, with some slight alterations in the details. Even the Cyberdyne sequence was initially intended for the first film.

In the case of Jurassic Park, I'd qualify that by saying that the night time shots still look magnificent and better than a lot of modern movies. A lot of the stuff in the daytime hasn't aged as well.

I also prefer the original Terminator. While I really like it as well, T2 is basically the exact same movie except with a lighter tone, bigger budget and the 'twist' of Arnold being a good guy, and I think a lot of people look at it with rose-tinted glasses.

I'm a little late to the party but I really liked The Babadook. I compare it to The Sixth Sense. The Sixth Sense really isn't scary at all, but it's still a great movie because of it's atmosphere and drama.

"Ford is clearly too old for the role. He was too old in the last one and that movie is already 7 years old!"

I'm a bit late, but I agree entirely. The best “so bad they’re good” films are the ones that are completely ernest and fail due to whatever circumstances. Movies that are intentionally bad feel very phony to me. There's stuff that is low-budget schlock and cheese, like a Rodger Corman or early Sam Raimi movie, but…
