5/17 Weekly Discussion Question - What was the movie you saw as a kid that made you realize it was possible for movies to be bad? The first film you said "Hey....that's bad."
I am a child of the 1980s. We saw a movie, we liked it for what it was. However, as with anyone, there had to be a moment I saw a movie and realized it sucked. I had two:
Superman IV - We went to the theater. We were pumped up. It did not take long before even I, at age 8, was saying that the effects look terrible. And the story is boring. And everything is terrible. We discussed its badness in the car on the way home.
Leonard Part 6 - My Dad rented it. He probably saw Cosby* and its a family safe comedy and brought it home. Lame. Not one laugh, even from kids.
*Mind you, we had only positive associations with Cosby at that time.
