Police Academy
Some movies date really badly. Some remain awesome. Some have hugely outdated jokes which makes them even better.
PA is right smack in the middle of these. Lots of laughs still there, Guttenberg is pretty damn funny and a lot of the delivery is absolutely spot on.
Odd observation. When Hooks drives over Copeland's feet and he calls her a dumb fat racial slur ... the line with the racial slur was cut out. Why?? FFS Why??
4 Tacklebury's out of 5 Hightowers
i watched this with the kids a year or so again. i forgot about the lectern blowjob. awkward.

The Matrix: Resurrections
So i finally got around to watch this. and, well, yeah. While watching i didn't hate it. But with the smallest bit of thought afterwards my entire question was "why?"
The first 25 minutes was confusing as all hell. The flashbacks put a smile on my face as they showed an infinitely superior movie. But i had no fucking idea what the hell was going on.
And it got worse from there.
The whole plot doesn't make any fucking sense. The bad guy's motivation is, i guess, his year end bonus? i dunno. and i don't know why the good guys did anything at all. I mean Neo yes, but why anyone helps him at all makes no sense.
Which piece of barely audible bullshit dialogue did i miss that made the humans' actions make sense?
And with a few threads left to just, wander off, did they think they could make a few more?
What a mess
2 wait, so just killing everyone is a good idea? out of 5 and how did they even get out?
seriously, stop making these.

the original is my favourite movie ever. i did not expect that
i did hope for something close to the 3rd. I was disappointed.

That's probably my main memory of that movie.
@Machpants It's also from a deleted storyline and had nothing to do with the plot so didn't even have reason to be there.

@mariner4life Priyanka Chopra is so bad at acting that I feel embarrassed every time she is on screen. How does she get cast in anything?

There weren’t many black dudes in Nelson in the 80s
"England expects that every man will do his duty," as Lord Horatio Nelson used to say. Not sure he said that during his time in the West Indies...

Do you like obvious green screen, CGI and implausible, idiotic science disaster movies? Then this is for you.
I'm a third of the way through and this is a
blatant rip offhomage to When Worlds Collide, Armageddon and Deep Impact. Less than the sum of those parts too. Much less. -

##spoiler

Much less.I'm now halfway through and it has managed the previously thought unachievable; gotten way worse. I'm compelled to see just how bad it gets. Perhaps that was their intent all along.

"There weren’t many black dudes in Nelson in the 80s"
I wasn't sure if you meant Nelson the place or Nelson the Admiral...
