Perception changes as I get older...

So I just watched the Garbage Pail Kids movie last night. I haven't seen it since I was 9 or 10. Wow, that movie did NOT hold up well at all. There's still some funny parts but I remember it being WAY cooler when I was a kid. That is all... 2009-06-10T00:58:54-04:00

Believe this or not but i had never watched The Goonies ever, so i watched it last week (i am now 35) and sorry guys it didn't do it for me. I lost interest half way through...i know i am going to get flammed for this but i think i would have thought it was fantastic when i was 10. I left it way too late...i blame my parents... 38321

You know what's actually really great? to go back and watch all the old Superman movies back to back. The *only* really really terrible thing about it is the 15 minute credits at the BEGINNING of the movie! Seriously, who thought it was a great idea to show the names of every actor at the beginning? 38321

Speaking of being older and appreciating this stuff. Pee Wee's playhouse still holds up. Oh and you guys ever looked up all the subliminal tricks and jokes the animators put in the GI Joe series? It's incredible. -I've got an episode on VHS where they painted the Baroness's legs skin tone for a scene so it looked she was wearing a thong. Paintings moving in the background, words intentionally misspelled in signs in the background, basing that asinine news caster guy on Geraldo after he did some story about cartoons influencing kids or being commercials for toys etc. 38321

3 Ninjas, Ninja Turtles, Vegas Vacation, Nickelodeon...the only reason they are still awesome to me is because they are nostalgic of childhood and my bro and I quote them like crazy. On their own, they don't stand the test of time like Disney Pixar movies do. 38321
