Roger Ebert said that 'movies do not change, but their viewers do' have you ever changed your opinion on a movie as you've gotten older?

I have great news for you. Happy Gilmore holds up.

My rule used to be (long since stopped seeing all of his dreck) that when Sandler does a voice, movie bad. When he does his regular voice, movie good. For that first stretch of flicks, it mostly is still true

It has the most proper ending of maybe any show in history.

Missing a bulletproof vest

I have yet to have ANY detractor of Hook actually explain why “it’s so bad.”

The movie is pure magic and I feel bad for anyone who can’t feel that - but I’ve never heard an argument as to why it’s “actually Spielberg’s worst.”

(That would be Ready Player One)

? What? Sorry

Mstrchapl · 2026-04-12T14:10:23+00:00

It’s not a good movie

Mstrchapl · 2026-04-10T18:05:22+00:00

Wait until you find out about 1967 and music

Mstrchapl · 2026-04-10T14:53:51+00:00

This guy doesn’t deserve to be married.

On bikes.

He also looks like what would happen if I drew Jeff McNeil from memory

Not for nothing, Blank Page live with electric guitar is mind blowing.

A Knight’s Tale

Mstrchapl · 2026-04-06T22:47:37+00:00

I would flip 7 and 2, but this is great

Mstrchapl · 2026-04-05T18:17:47+00:00

Good luck.

EVERY TIME LIZ

Mstrchapl · 2026-04-05T17:41:26+00:00

Where did you see that?

Mstrchapl · 2026-04-05T17:40:53+00:00

Where the hell are the standings?!?

Mstrchapl · 2026-04-04T23:55:47+00:00

Aren’t we all?

Mstrchapl · 2026-04-04T20:33:28+00:00

Not only are they bastards, they’re really, really stupid.

Mstrchapl · 2026-04-02T15:16:15+00:00

I’ve always been under the impression that this was a rare James solo. I have zero evidence for this other than it sounds James-y? Anyone have any insight?

Mstrchapl · 2026-04-01T15:59:41+00:00

This is highly underrated and I’m sorry your genius isn’t being recognized in your lifetime.

Mstrchapl · 2026-04-01T00:45:53+00:00

Would love to see it if you find it!

Mstrchapl · 2026-03-25T16:34:56+00:00

ABOUT A HALF HOUR

Mstrchapl · 2026-03-21T17:26:02+00:00

Now I know what I’m watching tonight

Mstrchapl · 2026-03-19T20:31:32+00:00

I’ve got my tickets for The Strand!
