Reply to comment by SandmanAlcatraz in Nukie: the strange story behind the forgotten ET knock-off by SixtyFours
Yeah there were a bunch of different E.T. knockoffs, but Little Visitor has to be the one with the most unsettling history:

It’s still great though. I just watched it knowing everything that happens and it still wrecked me.

You’re pathetic. You’re wrong and so now you mock the conversation because you lost. Just move along dude.

I got the impression that this movie doesn’t really know what it is. It wants to say something, like Look Whose Coming To Dinner, but is filled with really broad, goofy comedy that belongs in a Zucker Brothers movie. It has a lot of talented artists attached to it, both behind the camera and in front, but I can’t help feeling that it could’ve been better if they would have stuck with one tone.

Damn. You're right. It did come out in 2000.

I have a Wilson in my back yard, wedged between the palm tree. I put old palm leaves as his hair.
Love this movie.

I’ll agree with you. Tom Hanks is great in Cast Away. He has the perfect nice, regular guy demeanor that nothing bad could ever happened to him. And when something bad does happen, he’s incredibly vulnerable but you can still really believe the strength that helps him push through to survive.
Also it’s not technically 90s. Came out December 2000! Had to check.

A person who went to brown with no student debt couldn’t be innocent, is the point

hey man. your judgment is fully sound. your facts are checked and there is a 0% chance that obama ever smoked a newport in his life. and comedy has to exclusively be based in fact. this is factual and cannot be argued. thank you for taking the time to educate the rest of us single-brain-celled plebes. your genius knows no bounds and truly you are the king of cigarettes. may your throne be always acrid and properly yellowed from nicotine stains. 🙄

I was like 7 years old when I saw the trailer in 1995. I watched the movie 2 years ago and I still knew everything that was going to happen because the trailer spoiled the whole thing so good.

They are fun movies and great theater experiences. They don’t hold up as well outside of the theater (still decent but these are movies really made for the big screen)
I’m certainly excited to see what the next movie will be

Neverending Story at the end when the Empress is pleading with the boy Bastion to say his mom's name. She was a child actress and wasn't really in much else, but she put forth one hell of a performance

The things I noticed this time were little things like when they were at that family Christmas dinner Kelly catches Chuck glancing at his pager instead of being present with the family. And then they’re working on scheduling important things like being together for New Year’s Eve and for Kelly’s dissertation. Chuck’s job still seems to be the priority for him, though. Not the relationship. Just subtle facial expressions and timing gave me the idea this time that Kelly might not be down for that.
Edit to add: I just read a couple of the other links in the comments suggesting Kelly was having an affair.
Really interesting how they place the blame on Kelly for betraying Chuck, whereas my read this time was more blaming Chuck for not prioritizing Kelly.
Of course it’s all subtext since none of this is made explicit. I like the ambiguity and complexity. I guess we see what we want to see or what we’re prepared to see.
And it’s a good story either way.

Because you all feel like bullying someone right now. You’re all still wrong, it’s fine.

Reply to comment by jojowasher in Am I crazy for thinking "Piranha 3DD" is kind of brilliant? by njdevils901
I re-watched Piranha 3D the other night and had a very nice time, reminded me of Final Destination 2 in how utterly mean-spirited and non-stop it is with its horror against the human body. Really entertaining stuff, Aja is a solid horror director because there is moments in Piranha 3D that are genuinely horrifying and have stuck with me for the past decade

My problem with the movie, is that I wanted to see his first interactions with the rescue crew, but they jumped right past that to the airport

it’s actually weird that you think a conversation can be “won”
