>is there a word for something that's bad but enjoyable?
not that i know of. maybe schlock-kino? me and my friends used to love watching really shitty horror movies. like the ones made on a budget of $12. those are frickin great
I remember my dad taking us to a drive-in movie theater to see this. Set up a blanket and we got Little Caesar pizza to eat. It was a double feature with I think American Pie as the first movie, I slept through the first movie. Can't believe my dad was ok with spending almost 4 hrs at the movies. I had fun with the movie, the mech spider was my favorite of course.
I merely said she was a breast of fresh air.
I also love the back and forth between Smith and the Wheelchair guy. >why agent, I haven’t seen you in a COONS age >well when somebody comes back from the dead, makes a man want to STAND UP, take notice
It was pg-13. Teenagers are ready for some sex stuff. Lots of adult oriented pg-13 movies targeted much younger audiences in ways. Look at the animated series for Men in Black, Godzilla, hell they even made kids toys for predator, terminator, Rambo. Straight up hard R movies. Not that hard R, the other one.
movies used to be good back then, now they are all dogshit sterilized cgi gore color graded crap
even wild wild west, a fricking mediocre movie from back then, is way better than the shit shoveled out onto the screen for kids nowadays
The actor who originally played artimis was at the premier, after it let out he was asked what he thought of it, he just said he felt they ruined the legacy of the show and completely shat all over it, he died two days later. I haven’t watched the movie in a decade but I remember it was fine for what it was. But I’d imagine people who liked the old show may’ve been annoyed, but I suppose at least it didn’t make the original lead the villain of the movie like the first mission impossible movie did
>It’s principally the nursing of this backwater, passed-over project into a $545m hit that made Sonnenfeld’s reputation. Satirising The X-Files, Ghostbusters, Reservoir Dogs and Independence Day - themselves no slouches in the tongue-in-cheek department - Men in Black scored heavily for injecting a big-budget effects movie with an acid-laced wit typical of Sonnenfeld’s earlier films, Get Shorty and The Addams Family. “I used to say to Steven: ‘I gotta warn you, whatever anyone is saying, we are making a tiny buddy film. Don’t think of it as an event movie.’ Get Shorty, Men in Black and The Addams Family are autobiographical: they all are ultimately about my own sensibilities; I just can’t do anything in a straight ahead way. It drives my wife crazy.”
This note about it being autobiographical is interesting, has he made a biopic of someone else's life?
>Sonnenfeld waxes lyrical over the Charles Addams drawings in the New Yorker magazine (“They were always my source material - never the TV show”
This is so contrary to how things are done today. And Addams Family Values seems to have a strangely grounded influence from Goodfellas.
the spider is unironically cool
I secretly did. Is it some best picture candidate? No, but I do enjoy watching it every few years or so if it happens to be on.
I liked it.
yes and honestly I don’t really get the hate; albeit I saw it first as a kid so obviously I have nostalgia bias
it’s funny. Smith is in his element. Selma is hot as shit. The action is fun. It’s not a serious movie but it doesn’t need to be to be entertaining
It's cool, I liked the saw blade machine.
So did Big Willie.
i liked seeing salmon hayaks butthole in it

Didn't Will Smith turn down being Neo in the Matrix for this movie?
ESL here, is there a word for something that's bad but enjoyable? If there is, this film is it.

Camp.
i.e. Wild Wild West is a campy movie.
guilty pleasure
no, not really. This is the definition of camp in that context
> a style or mode of personal or creative expression that is absurdly exaggerated and often fuses elements of high and popular culture
I still think camp is a better option than schlock-kino. Guilty pleasure is probably the closest
First erection was the Asian prostitute
(I was born in 1971 if that matters)
yeah because i was working at burger king when they had wild west toys

It needed an R rating so Salma Hayek could get her breasts out
I just remember it being bizarrely sexual for something marketed as a kid's movie.
It was a breath of fresh ass
As a kid I just thought this was funny because it's a butt
I merely said she was a breast of fresh air.
I also love the back and forth between Smith and the Wheelchair guy.

why did they edit out salmons beautiful big brown butthole
Go to bed Rajesh

The director was a israelite who made porn movies before his Hollywood career.
The way it killed off Bai Ling in the middle of her seduction scene seemed suspiciously fetishy

Did they really turn James west into a Black person?
