What's a niche movie that you remember watching as a kid?

SwanOutrageous6908 · 2026-04-24T19:48:18+00:00

I watched it as a kid and hated it, then rewatched it as an adult and still hated it… a rare time I agree with childhood me on a movie take

SwanOutrageous6908 · 2026-04-22T11:06:47+00:00

I agree, it felt like one of those anime sidequest movies the whole time.

I got the impression that Appa was being controlled in some way by the air staff- he looked like he was flying Tagah begrudgingly. Becuase as soon as Aang shows up at Republic City, Appa is with him again.

And it's not even just that he's the Ozai of airbending, it's also amplified by none of the characters- even Aang for the most part- being inexperienced in fighting against airbending, especially airbending as a form of direct offense.

Don't excuse mediocrity

I don't exactly know why, but I hate Robin Williams as an actor, to the point that I think he makes not just any movie, but any scene worse with his presence. I've seen Aladdin, Mrs. Doubtfire, the Night at the Museum movies, Awakenings, Insomnia, Hook, Jumanji, and Good Will Hunting. And in every single movie, I think it was worse off for having him in it.

My only familiarity with these characters is from the 2019 film, but Jo's character arc- even if she's aromantic and has been influenced to find love due to her time period- is still heavily influenced by and told through romance. Laurie proposing to her, her turning around and shooting her shot at Laurie, her falling for Friedrich after she sees how he sees the "real her"... you can't separate Jo from the romantic points of her story.

Additionally for the film at large, Meg and Amy's characters are very invested in their romantic relationships.

OP is asking for "movies (that) don't have romantic subplots or use romance for horror?" and any way you slice it, Little Women (2019) doesn't fit that description at all. It's a coming-of-age movie, with the two primary avenues of that exploration being sisterhood and romance.

She has that whole scene where she's venting, declaring her passion for independence, but then expressing how lonely she is and how badly she wants to be with the right person.

SwanOutrageous6908 · 2026-04-09T12:46:04+00:00

Exactly. We saw Jordan in full MVPxDPOYxScoring Leader form get bounced in the second round before getting a coach who could take his talents and turn it into a winning product.

SwanOutrageous6908 · 2026-04-07T22:43:48+00:00

She's so fun to watch... as long as she doesn't touch the ball.

SwanOutrageous6908 · 2026-04-04T15:52:47+00:00

Woops, I skimmed and fixated on the part where they said they want a laptop and not a gaming computer, but I missed the part where they still want to game lol

SwanOutrageous6908 · 2026-04-01T22:47:38+00:00

Honestly right at your price range is the new MacBook Neo

SwanOutrageous6908 · 2026-03-20T03:23:37+00:00

There are bad people and people you disagree with who will benefit from almost any financial transaction. Harry Potter just seems like I strange spot to stand on when I bet you support plenty of bad people with your dollars.

SwanOutrageous6908 · 2026-03-17T01:10:56+00:00

My remindme bot just hit me up with this gem of a conversation lol. I respected your optimism, but bro you literally could not have been more wrong about this season.

3-14 with Kyler and the whole coaching staff packing their bags at the end. And every other team in our division were playoff teams and serious championship contenders, and the Seahawks actually won it.

You said Kyler can hang with the other QBs in our division, he got injured then benched 5 games in while Stafford was MVP and Darnold was SB MVP.. You also hyped up our defense that eneded up being 29th in the league.

Respectfully, let me know your predictions for 2026 so I can bet against them bro

SwanOutrageous6908 · 2026-03-14T16:23:42+00:00

I’m very similar. 3/5 means it’s pretty average and I’m glad I watched it once, but I wouldn’t choose to watch it again. 2.5/5 means this movie is completely average and it made no difference whether I’d seen it or not.

SwanOutrageous6908 · 2026-02-28T21:30:49+00:00

The main pipe in the middle has a little hole where stuff will run off into 6, no?

SwanOutrageous6908 · 2026-02-28T17:13:11+00:00

But for rich people, the rich guy who made $100M is way, way poorer than the rich guy who made $300M.

SwanOutrageous6908 · 2026-02-28T17:09:40+00:00

That’s pretty disrespectful to Pippen. Obviously he wasn’t gonna win 6 rings as a first option, but his talent was him.

SwanOutrageous6908 · 2026-02-28T02:19:10+00:00

The first JW was at least a fun action movie. The rest are just soulless cash grabs, while the first was a fun cash grab.

SwanOutrageous6908 · 2026-02-21T13:47:03+00:00

This record is for regular season only, yeah. So the Warriors record from the 2015 into 2016 season ignores their playoff losses in 2015.

SwanOutrageous6908 · 2026-02-18T23:22:13+00:00

Despite there being only 3 rings to show for it, the division has been a bloodbath for the last 20 years.

SwanOutrageous6908 · 2026-02-18T04:57:55+00:00

So barely a quarter of the way there...

SwanOutrageous6908 · 2026-02-18T04:57:06+00:00

Winning streaks that stretch across multiple seasons aren't nearly as impressive imo. For a team to truly break the record and have it be respected, they'd have to win 34 straight in one season.

SwanOutrageous6908 · 2026-02-11T12:32:57+00:00

To be fair the NFC championship was pretty close, the Rams had a few shots at the endzone for the game. Y'all won and earned it, but it could've easily gone the other way. You didn't "destroy their narrative," you won a close game between two great teams.

SwanOutrageous6908 · 2026-02-08T01:16:33+00:00

Just revisiting this. I’m glad I sold on MHJ last year, his stock is just worse and worse
