Growing up, I used to be a huge fan of the Twilight franchise. I had read all the books. I had also watched all the movies. I love the characters, and I was very invested in the story. For those of you who don't know, this is a fantasy novel movie franchise young, I think an 18 year old teenage girl called Isabella Swan falls in love with a 180 year old vampire who is forever stuck at the age of 17

So as a kid, I found it to be very each of these antics that he did, and each of the situation as they unfolded was extremely funny. And I was literally at points rolling on the floor, laughing out loud. That was then and recently I got to watch it again, and I finally put it back saying, oh, my God, this is such a funny movie. And as I watched it, I found it just mildly amusing
And recently, about a month and a half back, honey, I blew up the kids who are playing on some channel and I happened to watch it. I was so unimpressed by all that, because naturally, we have come a long way since then. As far as special effects and animation, et cetera, goes in movies and will come a long way since then. So naturally, it didn't impress me much

I don't know how I ever found it funny, and I've actually watched a couple of episodes just thinking, well, maybe I just saw a bad episode, but it's not funny. It's almost offensive. Some of the comedy is, and I know that's going to happen when you have things of different eras, but I honestly don't know how I found any of it funny at all at any time
The movie quite literally makes a mockery of Indigenous people and their lives with its over the top half big plot of an impoverished Indian tribe who eat fried worms and monkey brains as they wait for their white savior to come and save them from doom. And I was like, how could I ever have liked this movie as a kid? And how is it that it still is considered to be a cult classic? This is one mystery that I shall ponder about till my dying day

But I was just curious if that's what you meant as well. And I'm trying to think of examples from Raiders of Lost Ark. It would fit in there. And I'm just not thinking of anything off hand, but been a while since I've seen it. But Temple Adoom, I know exactly what you're talking about, and that makes a lot of sense

And then I caught it a second time, and I don't know why I started watching it because I said, oh, man, I really didn't like this movie. And I started picking up on so many things that I didn't before, and I loved the movie, just really loved the movie after that

Oh, my gosh. The Musical Grease with John Travolta. I watched that so many times as a kid. And as I got older, realized, first of all, how many times there were curse words hidden in the songs. And how much, really, kind of, like, Crude Innuendo is going on in that movie way more than I thought of. And I just didn't get it when I was a kid
Yes. So I couldn't really wrap my head around the fact that he did not have any super power. So I refused to accept him as a superhero, especially as a young child. So now that I'm a little older, he's still not one of my favorite superheroes. But I do get the fact that people like him. He's got a lot more layers to him
Also, the movie brings out the empty nest syndrome in a way that I can totally identify with now, but not years ago. So that's probably what makes me look at this movie in a different light. And I know it isn't a great movie by any standards, but it is one that reinvented parental cliches through some fine acting by Steve Martin and Diane Keaton. And probably why I still love watching this movie once in a while

And I was having a conversation not long ago with a guy, and he's kind of one of those belligerent stuck in his ways. Everything was better when we were younger kind of guys. And he rattled off a list of shows that he thought were fantastic and that today's television is just too much. And this is the golden age of television now script driven material. This is the Golden Age

Rather, I was so pumped up with hormones and adrenaline that I loved Robert Pattinson and Damon Saboteur Ian Summer Holiday, or rather, that I missed the whole point. Like how narcissistic Damon used to be while Steven was a good person. I mean, these are small parts, but I really look differently now. And, yeah, Batman. I think I don't know. Batman has this ego and arrogance of money that I don't like. I really do like Joker
