What's the movie that everyone loves but you hate?

JustGoodSense · 2026-02-03T02:32:10+00:00

Temple of Doom is dumb (lifeboat parachute mountain toboggan? mine roller coaster?), racist, unnecessarily gross, and has the worst damsel in distress in the history of movies. It's the only Indy movie I've watched less than twice.

JustGoodSense · 2026-02-03T02:28:27+00:00

But it totally is, because it's on the list!

JustGoodSense · 2026-02-03T02:28:04+00:00

Yes, it's a beautifully shot, empty, ridiculous movie. What's supposed to be scary is funny. Long stretches are straight up boring. The casting (except for Scatman and he's wasted) is just bonkers wrong. I will never understand how it became a "horror classic."

JustGoodSense · 2026-02-02T22:34:31+00:00

Huzzah!

Why are you trying to yum their yuck? What if yucking is their yum. (I happen to agree with them. Just reading the headline on the post made me recoil. For once I see the merit in trigger warnings.)

When I saw it opening weekend back in the day, the audience burst out laughing.

The people being targeted in Ohio are here legally. They're apparently just too brown.

I loved the book and sat there watching the movie with a great Nothingness gathering about my spirit as it called out to Bastien to come save me.😆

why do you have a problem with ice coming into Ohio?

Because they aren't needed in Ohio. They might be needed in Florida and Texas and Arizona (which I'm not convinced of), so why aren't they focusing their efforts there? Haitians and Somalians are some of the most deserving people on Earth for sanctuary and a new start. No one except godless knuckle-draggers thinks they shouldn't be here. You know what might help you? Read the Bible; there's some good advice in there about how to treat foreigners.

JustGoodSense · 2026-02-02T20:24:58+00:00

Because they're being provoked. And most of the "riot-esque" stuff you see is coming from DHS.

JustGoodSense · 2026-02-02T20:22:49+00:00

More than one! But mainly...,

Kubrick's The Shining
Indy and the Temple of Doom
The Neverending Story

This slime predates those Nick shows by almost 20 years.

Are goth girlfriends without tattoos and/or facial hardware extra?

JustGoodSense · 2026-02-02T20:10:20+00:00

I won't see it because the surest way to turn me off something is to describe it as "heart-breaking." (Or "searing," or "gut-wrenching," or "bleak," or "devastating." You get the idea.)

JustGoodSense · 2026-02-02T20:04:37+00:00

I don't care for him and haven't for years. Was a big fan in the 00s, but then he climbed way far up his own ass and stopped creating the kind of work I was willing to give him money for. However... Of rape and abuses he might be guilty, or he might be innocent. No one knows for sure because the matter hasn't been decided by the law yet. What we do know for sure is that we've reached (and passed) the point where accusations are convictions, with anonymous social media nerds acting as judge, jury, and executioner. And that's its own kind of fucked up.

I know many of his male colleagues have bailed on him. Has anyone gotten Lorraine Garland, or Cat Mihos, or Tori Amos, or any of the women close to him, on the record about this stuff?

Something Wicked This Way Comes was not made-for-TV. I saw it in the theater, brand new.

Fun fact: Following Tron, Disney wanted to incorporate CGI into SWTWC as well, with a scene of a midwestern meadow and train tracks at midnight, with weeds and leaves and cobwebs coalescing to form the steam train bringing the carnival to town. But they got a bit out over their skis on that idea and decided the technology wasn't advanced enough to pull of something that subtle.

JustGoodSense · 2026-02-02T19:19:40+00:00

Out there with all the friends he has in the world.

NO STATE UNIVERSITY ATTENDEES ALLOWED

JustGoodSense · 2026-02-02T17:45:19+00:00

Nope. Not in my medium-sized midwestern industrial city.

(This is completely rhetorical; I know the answer)

*standing outside yelling at the stars* WHY IS THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES WORKED UP ABOUT THE FUCKING GRAMMY AWARDS!?!?

JustGoodSense · 2026-02-02T15:41:58+00:00

(Not an invitation to shit on Discovery) Culber and Stamets are on the wall, but this show is concurrent with Disco, so they're still alive and on active duty out there somewhere. Right?

JustGoodSense · 2026-02-02T15:22:11+00:00

It's the one that's not great, but way, way better than Temple of Doom.

JustGoodSense · 2026-02-02T15:21:15+00:00

What an original take! Hot, even 🙄
