I ran into an old movie I had on VHS as a kid titled “MegaForce” (1982) (RT link). I hadn’t seen the movie in decades and was worried looking at a rotten tomato score of 6% that if I watched it, I would be completely disappointed in the movie as an adult. Surprisingly, I didn’t realize as a kid that it was actually more of a spoof comedy action movie like a knock-off “Hot Shots” or “Naked Gun” and just completely enjoyed watching it again because it felt like a whole new experience (definitely better than the new G.I. Joe’s lol).
So what’s your movie from your past that you’ll always enjoy no matter how cheesy or horrible it may seem?
The Ace Ventura sequel, When Nature Calls. My gooey adolescent brain ate it up and it is one of the few movies from my childhood where I can set aside everything I’ve learned and just enjoy it.
I academically know it’s bad and wildly problematic, I’m not blind, but nostalgia can be pretty powerful.
What do you mean by that? How is it bad trying the save species from aquariums? Or trying the save a tribes from their own extinction because profit?
I’m mean those are good morals that should be taught at school, IMO way more important than history class which actually tells us how dumb we were and how dumb we still are.
Sure it’s only a movie but if you have followed a bit of Jim Carrey’s path you would know he really cares about ALL living beings and tries as much as possible to teach younger people to respect each other and nature.
Maybe I got your comment wrong if so care to elaborate?
Thank you.
I think he was talking about some of the questionable representation of the tribal peoples in the film.
Any old Jim Carey movie for me tbh
If somebody doesn’t find that rhino birth scene funny, we can’t be friends. I still shake violently watching that.
