Reply to Steven Knight's Great Expectations sounds like a mess by _SkullBearer_

G.E. is quite possibly the most boring slogfest I've ever been forced to read in my entire life. Fuck that book. I'd never watch this, Olivia Colman or not.

Reply to The Godfather movies are so relaxing to watch. by AndyKaufmanSentMe

The last full day of my dogs life we sat with her and binged the trilogy. Made a good spaghetti with garlic bread and red wine.

Idk why the tone of Celebration and mourning for the day was punctuated perfectly by those movies. But I recommend it to anyone.

Made an awful day truly something nice and memorable.

I've never made it through the first hour of the first one. It bores me to sleep.

Of course! Got my first Power Glove and crush on Jenny Lewis after that. Haven't revisited since an obsessed little 9 year old but can't imagine it has any rewatch value?

Dude, I’m so jealous: you played Rad Racer with the Power Glove? Did you also wear those 3D glasses that were just blue and green transparent plastic sheet cutouts? Cant get any more RAD than that!!

Same, it is one of very few movies that makes me feel like I’m back when I was a kid, even if just for a little bit.

The biggest thrill as a kid was getting to see super Mario bros 3 before it was released. When O saw it in the theatre they gave you a little Nintendo power magazine as well

It means he wants to be in charge. The one in the lead. Sexually. Like the dominant one.

The book is terrific but it’s a collection of short stories. Ray Bradbury’s stories inspired Rod Serling’s Twilight Zone and indirectly inspired similar shows like Black Mirror.

Being a kid when this movie came out was unreal. I don't remember if they hinted at super Mario Bros 3 in the trailers but somehow we knew it was going to be shown in the movie-maybe rumors from school?. As an 8 year old literally nothing else about the movie mattered. This was like the first Nintendo direct but a million times more exciting.

The 90 minute Nintendo commercial?

I just saw it again in my late 30s. My god. There's a scene where a father and son reconnect after a kid's death...by playing Nintendo. What dead son?

It was made for kids, so it has a lot of kid logic.

Hobbit. It's flawed but it's actually interesting to watch whereas TLTWTW is both generic and doesn't really give us anything to make up for the genericness.
