    Disco Polo

    The premise of it was completely stupid but the nostalgic tone and execution was flawless

    The Transporter. Dude is a professional delivery driver for bad guys. But the music is perfect, the driving is fun, the fight scenes are creative and exciting. The love scenes suck… but all in all it was way better than I expected and is still my favorite JS movie.

    City of Lost Children (1995)
    A carnival strongman teams up with a young orphan girl to rescue his little brother from a mad scientist who kidnaps children to steal their dreams in the hope that it will stop him aging.

    It’s completely nuts but the surreal visual style and editing makes it pretty fun to watch.

    “Wristcutters” is such a dumb premise, but the movie is so well made that it just drips thick vibes. Love that movie.

    Bill and Ted’s Bogus Journey

    That plot is batshit wild, and I think it hinges on a bootstrap paradox. But that’s the point. It’s Bill and Ted, they just deal with it as Bill and Ted do. From robot clones, to Death, to death, to Hell, to Heaven, to Smokey and the Bandit III, it’s a perfect film.

        That’s awesome! I heard that his only question before saying yes to the role was whether or not you’d see Elvis’s penis.

          Don’t remember him talking about that, but I do remember him being asked about making another Evil Dead movie. His answer was, “you’ll have to get Sam to walk away from his multimillion dollar checks for making Spider-Man movies long enough to do another Evil Dead, but I’d be all for it!”

    Pacific Rim. Building giant robots to fight large creatures… Ridiculous, but fantastic film!

      Pacific rim was one of those movies that cemented that you can’t just say a movie is bad or good. The tomato-meter doesn’t have nuance.

      There are days I want to come home and experience the perfect sci fi movie with amazing effects, and there are days I want a drama that brings me to tears. Then some days I just want to see giant robots punching the shit out of aliens. All three are good movies for their own merits.

      Airplane 2 (1 actually had pretty common “disaster movie” plot for the time)

      Your fun trivia fact for the day is that Airplane! was actually a remake of a 1950s plane disaster movie called Zero Hour! Same plot, even long stretches where they go same plot points and sometimes even shot for shot…

      Airplane! just had a tonal change caused by throwing a bunch of ridiculous gags in, essentially becoming a parody of its origin movie.

      If you need a YouTube rabbit hole to fill a couple of hours of dead time at some point, well, there you go.
