She gave a good acting performance in a popular movie.

This is technically true. You can’t kill them

I remember writing a paper on Cameron's movies at college in 1996-97. The treatment of Jamie Lee Curtis's character was one thing I didn't hesitate to mention as being an outlier among the female characters in movies written by Cameron..

So it’s aged because of how it treats his cheating wife but not because of its depiction of Muslim terrorists? Shows where your priorities are.

Forrest Gump is an iconic performance.

Yes!!! Please get me a link if someone can find it! Pretty sure I’ve heard the same laugh in Roller Coaster Tycoon

Edit: Diddy laugh! (Yes he did)

Thanks! In the prequel he's engaged to Gail, so I guess they decided to drop that entirely.

There's obviously still a line to be drawn, but as of late, that line seems to be drawn so close that it's impossible to make any sort of joke without catastrophically offending someone.

This post is a decent example of that. 30 years ago the idea of a government agent misusing his government agent skills and funding to fuck around with his unfaithful wife, to the backdrop of an action flick, was funny as fuck. Now though, some random dude is deciding to post about it, saying that it offends them and that the premise is the sole reason that a 4K re release would bomb.

OP, lemme ask you if you’ve ever worked customer service before. Think about how dumb the average person is and realize that 50% of them are dumber than that.

>The online discourse / mass rewatch would definitely change a lot of people’s memories of it.

Only those who are easily peer pressured by feminists.

It's been a long time since watching it because I used to do it all the time, but I'm pretty confident it's still one of the best action comedies and much better than most of what we have gotten since.

I think the Oscars should award projects made for the art, leaving out purely commercial endeavors. In my opinion, projects like Avatar where there's a whole franchise in the pipeline should be ignored by the Oscars. Surely there are talented people working on the project, but it is purely a commercial endeavor, not art in the sense I would normally understand it.

There are people outthere trying to find logic in comedy. Flash news, plot holes found in Coming to America, the country of Zamunda does not exist! And even if did, there is no way it would be ruled by a king! 0/10

Wrong. There needs to be a congressinal investigation

Tom Arnold DID challenge him on using his power, but Arnie quickly called him on his own inappropriate behavior and Tom jumped back on board. Did you even watch the movie or is this just copypasta from some other lame ass review?

OP is going for outrage for likes/upvotes. They must have got lost on their way to Twitter.

the Oscar’s are awarded , based on connections and political power within the movie Industry.
In modern times anyway. Most A list actors , best roles are typically early in their career, and propell them from relative unknown, to stardom. ( they never win the Oscar they deserve for those performances). But they get it later, when they have made the right connections, and it’s their year .

The ratings are plummeting, this elitism, plus turning into a political TV show for the progressive lefts’ cause of the week , have alienated the majority of past viewers.

I don't think the OP sounds "offended." They're saying that the movie aged poorly and is negatively impacted by changes in our cultural values. It was less fun for them because they think about things in a different way now, but I wouldn't say they sound hurt.

You've really never rewatched something and thought, "Oof, that aged badly"?

I mean, I used to laugh at those jokes because I didn't want to be a "buzzkill" or develop a reputation for being "humorless," even though I do and did joke about plenty of other things. I just swallowed my feelings every time someone laughed at my expense. It didn't feel good.

Idk dude their too childish imo. Ans this comes from a guy who likes Tom and Jerry and Shrek

Loved it. Beautifully understated film. Reminds me of Celine Sciamma's Petite Maman in a way

Well many people say that it's bad anyway. But the thing is that people talk about this. I visited one of the nearest movie theaters amd it was plastered with posters of this movie. I also sat down to enjoy a drink outside and some dudes started talkimg about this movie like it can cure ligma or some crap

Movie has some stuff that aged badly like the line; "Women, can't live with them, can't kill them either." but overall it's fine.

Nope. Better movie but Hanks nailed it. "Never go full retard"
