    Godzilla vs Megalon

    It’s been years since I saw it, but it was my jam as a kid. Some sea people are mad and send their giant beetle thing, Megalon, to attack the surface, the sea people (Seatopians) also get help from aliens that send their kaiju, Gigan, to assist. A size changing robot, Jet Jaguar, gets his ass beat but Godzilla comes to the rescue in the nick of time. The end battle is a straight up WWE tag team matchup with kaijus!

    Plus the movie ends with Jet Jaguar’s bad ass theme song and a freeze frame!

    Super Troopers. It is such a ‘I dont know how we got the money for this script but here we fucking go’ movie. Good fun, good laughs.

      I’ve loved this movie since I first saw it in the 90s. Thinking back on it, this movie really laid the blue print for Joss Whedon and James Gunn type MCU and DCU movies. Great action sequences, a good dose of humor, and decent story that doesn’t pretend to be anything more than a fun movie.

    Robot jox is hilariously irredeemable. I watched it again recently and it was horrible. I’m going to watch it again later in life when I forget that because I’ve convinced myself it is not.

        I honestly have no idea how WaterWorld was not a huge hit, I loved that movie … I’m also very afraid to re-watch it since I haven’t seen it in quite a while.

          It was a pretty big hit at the time but the production costs got so out of control I don’t think it made it’s money back. I’m sure in the long run it’s done ok.

            Eh…it may have made money, but even back then it was panned as a huge misfire, and probably hurt Costner’s career for a while. There’s a reason it’s Sam’s favorite movie in Generation V. The kid who’s been held in psychiatric prisons his whole life.

          It is very entertaining. And universal created a live action show at their theme park in Hollywood based on it, that’s still running.

          I just watched Blade for the first time. The computer model of the ascension chamber felt a lot like the visualization of the Gibson mainframe operated by that magician/skateboarder duo

      The postman was good. Sure it’s a generic post-apocalyptic romp with a positive message. But I liked it.

            I think I’m confusing two scenes. One where the women and girl are effectively at Kostner’s mercy and she offers herself to him so they don’t get thrown over board. I -think- he turns her down and then there is a consensual act later.

            Probably I was getting confused with blade runner.

      This is mine too!

      It’s absolutely INSANE, nothing like the games and somehow it still works in a weird way for me - and somehow still manages to show more love/respect to the source material than some other adaptations I’ve seen (even while being nothing like the source material)!

      For anyone that hasn’t looked into the behind the scenes of this movie, you NEED to!

      The crew openly wore custom made shirts shitting on the directors, the actors were drunk most of the time, Leguizamo had his leg broken on set! … Haskins was stabbed FOUR times, electrocuted, drowned AND had his finger broken [anytime you see him holding something over his hand, it’s likely because he was hiding the cast]! Mario Mario had a lot of reasons to be so grumpy!

      This is mine too. It’s a cute, fun movie. Yes completely over-the-top stupid, but that’s part of the enjoyment. I think a reason I liked it when everyone else seemed to hate it was that I didn’t have a Nintendo as a kid, so I wasn’t saddled with an expectation of what Mario should be.

      So far ahead of the curve with the Isekai Sci-Fi Dystopia…

      I always bring this one up in the “so bad it’s good” conversations

      I will die on this hill: Dude, Where’s My Car is actually a good movie. People just can’t see past the premise to realize it’s executed extremely well.

      We got free tickets when we went to go see Shaft and the film burned in the middle and they had to splice it together to get it going. We lost some dialogue at the Palmieri house but no action. Win-win.

      We spent the free tickets to see Dude, and I still want my money back. And yes, I still reference the quotes whenever I can while I hate the movie, since while I’m a snob I’m also a deep nerd and must quote everything.

    Hudson Hawk, Bruce Willis’ longtime passion project where he and Danny Aiello play singing cat burglars.

    I genuinely love it despite it not being very good at all. Saw it in the theater knowing nothing at all about it.

    TRON: Legacy, although “terrible” might be bit harsh on it. I first watched the movie when I had a fever of 103 and it was perfect for that.

    All-time great movie soundtrack, though.

          Oh it’s bad. You’ll guess the main plot about two minutes in and it never waves from that. The movie ends and you won’t remember anyone’s names or even what most of them look like.

          Great music video though. Watch with a good sound system and a big OLED TV. The experience on a little phone or laptop screen with tinny speakers is going to be a 1/10.

        Very entertaining.

        A little short on Olivia Wilde, though, which was an amazing feature of Legacy.

      I wouldn’t call it arguably terrible. It’s not everyone’s cup of tea but it’s decent movie. Not great, but decent.

      And since Tron Jared Leto lowered the bar, it looks even better.

    Street Fighter

    It’s terrible. Almost nobody can act. I suspect none of the writers had even looked at the game beyond a few screenshots. The script and plot are laughable.

    But then Raul Julia shows up. He knows this is crap. But his kids love the games. He’s literally dying of stomach cancer in every scene. He knows this is his last movie. He’s going to fucking enjoy it, and so are you.

      What’s objectively terrible about Tremors?

      The TV series and movies beyond the third one are objectively terrible. But the first two are solid films and the third one is good for a laugh.

        I mean that I like it, but when showing coworkers or friends very few seem to think it is any good. It is now old enough for a cult following so it has got that going for it.
