Lea Thompson

Loved it as a kid, watched it as an adult and had to turn it off

I need to add it to the stupid movies you liked as a kid thread. My mom said I adored that movie as a kid. Tried to watch it on netflix with my wife and we didn't last 5 minutes

Saw it on blue ray for like 5 dollars like a month ago and grabbed it just off of the nostalgia. I got home and popped it in and saw it with adult eyes and realized how terrible of a movie it really was. The whole plot and concept was so ridiculous that it could only have been greenlit in the cocaine fueled 80's

the 80s were a time of carelessness and fun. Time wasn't, or didn't seem, too important. So spending a couple of hours watching a movie like this was no big deal. Especially if you were a kid.

Me and the chef at work, were talking about this yesterday.

Watched this a lot as a kid, have never seen it as an adult, and i probably wont.

Lea Thompson was nice.

 

[Ethnic Vagina Finder]

Why would you willingly watch something like that as a grown ass man

 

[Monoblock]

Yea I refuse to watch this again now. I don't want it to be ruined with adult eyes. I remember that scene even back then being weird to me but I never thought about it too much. I remember Jeffrey Jones turning into that cockroach looking alien thing and Lea Thompson looking amazing and I just want to leave it that way. George Lucas is a haaaack.

I’m watching it for the first time and I’m enjoying it. There’s some funny stuff. Duck t*ts.

George Lucas pushed it (Which I didn’t know).

Edit: finished the film. It’s cheesy at times, but there’s funny moments.

That scene with him and Beverly did always make cringe as a kid but I still loved the movie.

I like that song the Cherry Bombs did, “Don’t Walk Away”

It’s got a real 80s singer/songwriter vibe and the bridge to the hook, I like the colors and the change in tone.

Aside from that, now that I’m older, I’m catching all the lines. It really wasn’t a kids movie when you think about it but it was destined to attract kids.
