I really wanted to see that it theaters, but was not allowed.

I was able to rent it when it came out on home video when I had a buddy over. It blew our sky-high expectations out of the water. Gory action, boobs, killing bugs. Im pretty sure we watched it twice. That was an epic sleepover.

Still one of my all time favorite movies.

I was 8 when I saw my first R rated movie in theaters: Con Air. That wasn’t my parents doing though, it was my spinster aunt who dropped me, my sister and some cousins off at the theater. I remember her signing a waiver at the ticket booth :lol:

I remember my parents taking me to Gladiator. I would have just turned 11 when that was out.

My favorite movie when I was 5 was T2. I’d watch it at home all the time.

It’s cool. When I re-listened to the audiobook before the movie came out, I spent the whole beginning (when he can’t remember who he is) thinking his name was Mark Grace.

I definitely conflated the Martian protagonist with the former baseball player. I had a very confused “I’m dumb” realization when I heard “Ryland” again.

Clancy Brown
Keith David
William Fichtner

Brown has a huge live action movie/TV catalog.

And that’s dwarfed by his voice credits in animation and video games.

re: What was the wildest thing you witnessed at a wedding?

Posted by Jor Jor The Dinosaur on 5/16/26 at 7:12 pm to Chastains

Barn wedding on a hot July day. The bride and groom had a 2yo and had to leave in the middle of the reception to take their kid to the hospital for heat exhaustion.

There were two candles that started fires during the best man speech at my wedding.

My wife and I had to drive the bride and groom home after wedding last spring. Bride went too hard and was passed out on the floor at a club during the after party. My wife was 8 months pregnant at the time. The bride also tried to go night-night in some bushes outside their hotel while the groom was trying to source a wheel chair for her in the lobby.

No they didn’t, but they did minimize him into a thirst trap.

In the book he wears a sweater shirt but in the movie he’s just buttmouth naked the whole time.

I’ve watched the Baldwin scene one hundred times but have never actually sat down and watched the whole movie.

We never had a wagon or conversion van, but one of my neighbor friends had a Ford Taurus wagon with the backwards facing jump seat and 7-yo me thought riding back there was fricking sick.

It’s also nearly as far north as Anchorage.

I was there in July 2018 for a wedding and the World Cup and the sun would set around 11p and rise around 3:30a.

Big Trouble

Its theatrical release was cancelled due to 9/11 and how the climax of the movie plays out. It was quietly released the following year and a buddy and I just happened to stumble into the theater to see it. I thought it was hilarious, but it seems like almost no one has seen it.

Great cast. Ben Foster doesn’t even make the lengthy poster list(ETA: he does on this^ but not the main film poster)

Been a long time since I’ve watched, so not sure how it’s held up.

Been years since I watched it, but House was a great character.

Just limped around ripping Vicodin, being a cynical a-hole to everyone, and constantly pulling unorthodox diagnoses out of his arse to solve medical mysteries.

One time at a football game. It just hung in the air. Then it sent me a message, in big bright yellow letters, and told me I was going to have a good year.
