How can it be 'gut wrenching' and 'boring' at the same time?

[–] GrammarPolice@lemmy.world 16 points 5 days ago (1 children)

That means it absolutely fucking sucks to watch

[–] DagwoodIII@piefed.social 8 points 5 days ago (3 children)

So what do you consider a 'great classic?'

Shrek 2, I will not elaborate further.

[–] MonkeMischief@lemmy.today 14 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago) (2 children)

An absolute Shrektacle.

Antonio Banderas carries that film farther than he had any right to.

And any time a film's climactic moments are set to Bonnie Tyler's "I need a hero", it's a treat. (See also: Short Circuit 2.)

Saints Row 3's final mission used it too, for both of its possible variants. It worked way better than it had any right to.

That moment was AWESOME. I feel like the track was a deliberate choice to nudge the player to the

"right way" to finish the mission.

I always save Shaundi. :p

It made you feel like a badass no matter how ridiculous you made your Boss avatar by that time LOL.

Short Circuit 2

Fucking Oscar. He made me really pissed off!

[–] DagwoodIII@piefed.social 1 points 5 days ago

So, 'Shrek' was garbage, but they redeemed themselves with the money grab?

Terminator 2

Paris, Texas was fantastic!

[–] DagwoodIII@piefed.social 2 points 5 days ago (1 children)

So, what did 'Paris, Texas' do right that 'The Godfather' did wrong?

[–] GrammarPolice@lemmy.world 3 points 5 days ago (1 children)

I mean... Have you watched Paris, Texas?

[–] DagwoodIII@piefed.social 2 points 5 days ago

Have you? I get the impression that you picked some movie at random.

So lay it out and give us all a detailed comparison of the two films.
