Movies (and occasionally face slaps) (Part 1)

Apparently Barbie drives a custom remodeled 57 Corvette with an electric powertrain? Or Chevy is going to release an electric model? The movie may just be an ad for a toy, if you can believe it.

What makes this even more interesting is Chevy’s confirmation of its first electrified production Corvette, which will be released in 2023 as well.

The bullies in house party drive around in a Jeep with no top. Does that count?

Also the “bullies” in the outsiders had to drive around in a convertible. (Maybe someone already posted this, and only if you think the Socs are the bullies).

that list didn’t include Entourage, so it’s clearly invalid

I walked out of Once Bitten when it was in theaters. Throw that one on the trash pile.

Worst movie I ever sat through had to be Nothing But Trouble, worst movie I walked out on was the movie of Leave It to Beaver.

Yes that counts. Bonus if the popular/jock character has to make a choice whether to drive off with the cool kids in the convertible, or stay with our nerdy hero.

By the way, the original House Party absolutely holds up. I watched it a million times in college and was nervous to revisit it, but it still bangs.

M三gan was better than I expected, looks great, goes into some interesting worklife/parenting/internet boundary issues that I was not expecting, does what it says on the tin, good silly fun horror film with some legit moments.

Demon Seed: This movie starts off as a basic horror film about an evil AI that takes over a smart house and then shit just gets weird. You think you see where the movie is going and it keeps throwing curveballs and getting weirder and weirder until you’re seeing a haunted house impregnate a lady and the child becomes Satan, it’s 31 flavors of WTF. Late 70’s was a special time for science fiction.

Re-recommending Mad God because it is literally infinitely rewatchable, Claymation horror masterpiece, A+.

LMAO almost good enough to /thread

Mad God was certainly something. Not sure I liked it, but still worth checking out.

At a 99 on RT too out of 160 reviews

It seems like it’s not so much a “bullies/convertibles” thing as an “everyone-in-movies/convertibles” thing.

There’s a very specific thing with bullies in convertibles, where at least some of them are sitting up on the trunk, and the good cool guy/girl has to decide to stay behind with the nerd instead of gallivanting off with the cool kids. It’s not just anyone driving around in a convertible in a movie. Although in Stand By Me it’s just bullies. But they were sitting up on the trunk.
