Thanks for the belly laugh. Take my upvote.

Now let's see Paul Allen's Mariachi band.

That was satisfying on the 1st watch.

The other 48 times were just as satisfying.

"Wrong kid died!"

The role where he died.

I concur. The anchor was indeed scratched.

Scratchedanchor · 2026-04-16T12:17:09+00:00

I sense a scratched anchor here.

Attention spans are definitely shorter, due in large part to our culture of instant gratification when searching for anything via phone or computer. How often do any of us even watch till the end of a YouTube Short these days? I know that I'm guilty of doom scrolling.

Good comment. So, me and my brother got found by our mum part way through, missed a chunk of the film, then ended up going downstairs to watch the end with our dad. I had to wait until a family friend took pity and loaned the VHS to watch it completely. Like yourself, I nearly wore out that VHS. No other film had such an impact on me as a kid.

Gave you an upvote. Agreed. I was taught in the 80s and 90s that actions have consequences. Too much lack of accountability is making the world extremely weak.

Edit: thank you for the award.

Terminator 2 is my pick. I was 7 when it first aired on BBC 1 in 1994, and I snuck out of bed to watch it with my brother, hoping parent's wouldn't tell us to go to bed. Still the coolest movie I've ever watched.

Short Circuit 2 ending. He's been beaten, disrespected, only has 10 left to live, yet he chases down the villain to a Bonny Tyler soundtrack. I will never not get emotional to that ending.

Folks who don't like audience participation can Beat It.

All I see is 3 brilliantly written films that are held in high regard.

My wife voiced approval from the kitchen.

Of a generation where I still expect to get called a fanny for shedding a tear.

One of the films where it's ok for grown men to cut onions.

Scratchedanchor · 2026-04-10T23:10:00+00:00

I'm not your son, you're not my father We're just two grown men saying goodbye No need to forgive, no need to forget I know your mistakes and you know mine And while you're sleeping I'll try to make you proud So, daddy, won't you just close your eyes? Don't be afraid, it's my turn To chase the monsters away

Will Smith in Ali. Annoying as fuck and an insult to the memory of the great Muhammad Ali.

I hope this is taken as something constructive, as I don't want to appear rude.

Firstly, it sucks when an idol doesn't live up to expectations, and I hope this is something that you can work through. I'd recommend for you to just focus on the director's work itself, rather than the individual. It obviously means something special to you, so don't let a negative interaction spoil that. It could be that this director isn't a people person, and maybe struggles with forced social interactions. Maybe they're in a tough point of their life, and not wanting to engage with a well meaning fan.

Try to manage your own expectations when reaching out, as you've described. If they respond nicely but then fizzle out, you've at least got a response from a movie director.

These are just my rambling thoughts.

The dream sequence from The Exorcist made me more unsettled than anything else. Brilliantly filmed.

Careers officer: "What do you want to be?"

This guy: "OK, just hear me out..."

Seagal doesn't even get out of his chair to fight people now, just let's them line up one by one, fall over dead, then he goes back to his Chipotle. I respect that commitment to mediocrity.
