    Dude, Where’s My Car? is so much better than it had any right to be. And while the main characters are stoners, most of the humor isn’t stoner humor. Not that there’s anything wrong with stoner humor, but movies that consist entirely of stoner humor tend to drag after a while.

      We got free tickets to DWmC after Shaft burned in a slow dialogue scene. So we saw this for free.

      I’m reminded of the reviewer differences between this and The Emperor’s New Groove when I mention we still wanted a refund.

      In the same vein:

      Johnny Mnemonic is unironically pretty damn good.

      The pacing gets clunky in some spots, production quality is a bit off in some sections… honestly not really worse than say Escape from New York… its honestly overall pretty damn good.

      I can’t like that movie because it was so insulting for the culture at the time. Tacky and stupid. No self respecting 90s technology person respects that movie.

    I unironically love Armageddon and The Core. Yes, they’re both stupid and unrealistic movies, but that works in their favor about as often as against. Something about the way they play with the core concepts makes me love them.

      The most unbelievable thing about these movies is the competent government that makes the plot happen. In real life the astroid would kill the planet before they admit it exists. That’s actually why these are comfort movies for my spouse and I, it’s nice to believe in a world where people aren’t stupid.
