Really? People who actually paid to go to film school would walk out because the instructor showed an older movie? Are those people stupid? Isn't the whole point to teach them how movies were made?

Not everyone was like that. Many found the experience interesting, though there were some snobby snickers over The Graduate. One girl, who was all attitude and no brains, said "What's this dude's problem? He's so clingy!" I'm sitting there thinking ,"Well duh! That's his character." Oh, and the amount of times I heard someone use the word "edgy" all throughout my entire film school career was about 8,000,000 times too many. I am pretty sure people use that word when they can't articulate a reasoning for their opinion and need to say something that sounds meaningful, but actually shallow. |

As for the 1990 film working for the current generation... I'd say so. I've two nephews who were born in the early 2000s and they loved the original films. But maybe I'm giving the youth of today the benefit of the doubt.

Are you talking about what kids actually like or what movie studios insist that kids like?

Hard to believe Harrison Ford was considered a sex symbol at some point. |

April says it right after she wakes up from fainting on the couch, right before Splinter tells her the backstory of how the Turtles got mutated.

That type of hair style isn't really popular nowadays though, same for Luke's. That long bushy hair that goes over the ears, reminds me of Mel Gibson's mullet in Lethal Weapon too.

Also, Harrison Ford cut his hair for most of his roles afterwords. In fact, his other most famous role is Indiana Jones, where he has a rugged, yet maintained look. Plus, in 1990, had the line been "Why can't I dream about Channing Tatum?" April would be in jail. EDIT: One thing I love about Judith's April is that she is very much a woman. She also has the most personality of the film Aprils. Last edited by sgtfbomb; 01-07-2017 at 03:42 PM. |

Idk, it is very much a product of its time (a great product, but still). I mean things we didn't blink at about the film back then usually gets a chuckle now. I've been to a few screenings over the past few years and Raphael's unconscious body in the bathtub and Splinter mimicking Yoshi always had the theater erupt in laughter :/ I think it would be entertaining, but slightly mocked too. Not at all its fault though, people even roll their eyes at the original Superman movie now.

That sounds like more of an issue with the audience than the film. That's our culture now. "Let's take apart these movies that are/were popular and disassemble them for laughs." Cinema Sins, Honest Trailers, HISHE, podcasters, bloggers, etc, get off on doing that. It's what passes for wit these days.

That's news to me. Fantasizing is morally frown upon sure but unless you act on those thoughts or the person is bothered by it in some fashion, most just ignore you.

Young Harrison Ford was handsome, as were the other young guys in the films...Billy Dee Williams especially!! Sucks they're all old now.

How the hell does Honest trailer and HISHE pretend to be intellectuals, Cinema sins maybe but for all three its obvious they're just having fun and pretending to be entertainers. Also I remember MST3K making superficial critiques

I want you to know that opinions can be conditional. I can like MST3K and not like armchair critics (bloggers, You Tubers, podcasters) nor things like Cinema Sins and Honest Trailers. That is a thing a person can do. Also, to be fair, it's not really Cinema Sins and Honest Trailers that I don't like. It's more about the people who watch it. Those people who like to nitpick tiny stuff like lens flares, raspy voices, and high heels. I am not sure why this a big deal. I was defending TMNT '90 and stating that it's stupid to criticize a 90s movie for being a 90s movie. I mean, forget the story and the characters and all the things that are actually important, because they mention Harrison Ford and Moonlighting and Danny has a Sony Walkman and the Burger King logo is old -- because that is what people clearly care about.
