Adventure Time and Total Recall
The time between these two makes me picture very different people. Lol
Guess 1: Young enough that you were the target audience for Adventure Time, but also developed a penchant for Arnold Schwarzenegger action movies.
Guess 2: Old enough that Total Recall isn’t that out of reach for you, but you like to smoke and watch chill cartoons.
Never watched TV shows with your kids? Boomer stoner dad never crossed your mind!
Haha, touché. That’s also the perfect crossover demographic for this.
Terminator 2, even in its own plot, should have been the end of the franchise.
T1 and T2 were perfect movies. Really a shame they started piling garbage on. Same with first 2 alien movies
“Judgement Day was inevitable. You only postponed it.”
I did like the one from a couple years ago with old Sarah and the hybrid liquid/exoskeleton terminator. I would sacrifice that one for them to have not made all the other ones after 2 though.
A notable victim of the “keep milking the cash cow forever” mindset. Not many movies have the luxury of doing what they need to well then fucking off within two entries.
This is me but with video games.
I replayed action games like DMC3,4,5, Bayonetta, MGR, Ninja Gaidens and Souls game like DS1,2,3, Sekiro in constant rotation. At some point the intense gameplay just become a comfy single player flow state. Recently Hi-Fi Rush has entered the rotation. Unfortunately, Elden Ring is out of the club for now because it is too goddamn long.
All the soulsborne games for me too. Also ninja gaiden, but the NES ones.
I’m not saying that I have so much to do, but I just have a hard time even managing to watch a single movie. I’m not wasting that by rewatching anything 😅
Honestly I hate rewatching things unless it’s been long enough that I’ve forgotten everything. Not much beats watching something good for the first time
I rewatch step Brothers pretty much every month and I’ve watched the batman(2022) probably about 5 or 6 times . And the spider verse movies many times . Actual most of the movies I watch lately are movies I’ve seen a few times already.
I feel you brother. Me rewatching Star Trek is obvious but I’ll be damned if I haven’t seen the 80s Clue movie a hundred times.
Men should be like Kleenex. Strong, soft and disposable.
Glorious.
Clue is so incredibly rewatchable. It’s just a fun movie.
Don’t forget Terminator 1.
By golly, you’re right! I should start there and just make a whole day of it.
A whole day for 2 movies?
Thats two whole things in a day. I’m not about to get crazy and add a third.
Good point.

What can I say? I’m a fan of classic scifi.
Lately, any time there’s something unbelievably stupid in the news, I’ve been quoting “We’re not going to make it, are we? People, I mean.”

I might steal that for around the house…
Mad God was my favorite movie of 2021. Part because it’s the only movie of 2021 i’ve watched, and part because i’ve watched it five times and i think about it constantly
I am an unrepentant movie rewatcher. When life is really stressful, my go-to is watching LOTR Extended Editions 40-60 mins at a time like it’s a TV series lol. Also in heavy rotation at my house: The Martian, First Man, Ford v. Ferrari, Deja Vu (which is criminally underrated), MI: Fallout…a few others
A full rewatch of LOTR extended edition is at minimum a yearly tradition for me. Usually more, or just letting it play while I’m doing other things.
Pre-pandemic it was my annual ritual to watch it while baking and decorating Christmas cookies. It’s a great way to spend 12 hours. Maybe this year I can finally reinstate the tradition.
Deja Vu is pretty great!
Same with TV shows. I could watch a new show, or I could watch the monorail episode of The Simpsons. I know what I’m picking.
If I could find a good way to play Futurama episodes on shuffle, I’d be set.
I haven’t seen the matrix in 8 months and it feels like an eternity
This is my other one too.
I also subscribe to the fan canon that The Matrix and Terminator are two different stories in the same universe.
Serendipity.
We decided earlier we need to watch T2 tonight.
I watched it with the Eldest (12) son earlier in the year, now it’s time to make the youngest (10) watch it.
He’s already wearing the Arnold hoody we found in a charity shop, and singing “I need your clothes, your boots, your motorcycle” by Austrian Death Machine, he really needs some context.
Come with me if you want to live
I rewatched it with the commentary recently and it was super interesting to hear about what went into its stunts and whatnot
This is parenting done right.
The hospital escape is my favorite scene in any movie.
It holds up too!
The whole film holds up, my joint favourite film
Totally agree. Sitting there watching in the theatre was the best unexpected cinematic pleasure ever. Just sheer jaw dropping wide eyed fascination.
Why watch something new when you can watch scrubs and Malcolm in the middle where you can dub the actors because you know all the dialogue?
Man, Malcolm in the Middle is such a good show. Also, it never really had a bad season I feel, and they ended it at the right moment.
