Damn- A Fish called Wanda? Say it isn't so!


WTF?
QuoteMYSTIC PIZZA
Come for a young Julia Roberts, stay for the more interesting and heartbreaking storylines led by Lili Taylor and Annabeth Gish in this coming-of-age drama set in the fictional seaside Connecticut town of Mystic

Eh? It's an effing real place! I know, I've been there many times! Hel, even Toonces has been there!

That, "Ernest Saves Christmas" was VERY under rated. Hollywood snobs!

I saw License to Drive in a theater with an actual girl!

I did not, but I did watch that movie way more times than I should have on cable.

Post by: BanzaiCat on January 23, 2018, 10:11:46 AM
I liked Young Guns II much more than the first one, but it wasn't bad at all.

I think I've seen all those movies except for Mystic Pizza.

I was 14 so it wasn't a date...that was a couple of years later for Total Recall. My dad drove me and my date Sandy to see it. Sandy turned out to be a royal bitch! Total Recall stands the test of time, though :)

I have not seen Mystic Pizza either, or Heathers.
Title: Re: Movies Turning 30 This Year
Post by: BanzaiCat on January 23, 2018, 10:16:36 AM
Heathers is very good. Probably better to have watched it back then when your high school years were fresher in your mind, but it should still entertain you highly. Check it out if you get a chance. It's a little weird but it was dark comedy, to be sure.

Saw Total Recall in the theater, too. I re-watched that one just a month or so ago. The old one, not that new shite.

I thought Mystic Pizza was dreck.

I'm not big on Julia Roberts. Wasn't then, not now. I think she's highly overrated.

The movie might be decent, but nah, I'm good.

Totally, TOTALLY agree on Julia Roberts...never saw her appeal.

Agree. My Daddy told me never to get involved with women who's lips are bigger than their boobs. Good advice.

I guess you're not going on any dates with Angelina Jolie either, eh?

I like Notting Hill, but mainly for Hugh Grant's side of the story, b/c I like London and would love to live there.

The same advice works for girls with ear rings or noses bigger than their boobs. My Father was a man of very little formal education but infinite wisdom. Thanks again Dad.

Shit at this point i think her lips are bigger than the rest of her body. And besides Gia I personally never though much of Ms. Voight

I liked the movie where some guy that she liked was getting married to Cameron Diaz.  I remember it was set in Chicago and Diaz had a karaoke scene.  Do I have the right person?  The right movie?  Or am I completely confused?

that's the right one - Best Friend's Wedding, or something like that.  The "chase" scene where she steals the food truck is kinda funny.

She's okay as a minor character. Her role(s) in the Oceans ___ series were not bad. As long as she's not the focus of the movie I can stomach her.
Title: Re: Movies Turning 30 This Year

I never bought her as a prostitute in Pretty Woman. See what I did there?  :2funny:

Me too. Because my date was so sad after the movie she didn't feel like anything else. Then I began to cry.  :'(

Sooo...not seeing the difference between the two shows.
Title: Re: Movies Turning 30 This Year
Post by: Sir Slash on January 25, 2018, 10:47:31 AM
The difference would be, one show has animals jumping around screaming at the top of lungs at each other all at the same time and the other one....... You're right. No difference.
