A movie ticket also cost like $4 in 1992.

People were making a lot less money in 1992 than they are in 2026 and If they aren't you shouldn't be taking a family of 4 to the movies to waste $100 on snacks and a movie.


my point is. They weren't worried about wasting money because we were kids and didn't care about critics.

I just looked. Mighty Ducks got a 27% on rotten tomatoes. That's one of my favorite movies till this day. Who gives a shite what they think nor did I know or care back in the day. Imagine my parents telling me and my friends couldn't go see MD because some critics said it was one of the worst movies of the year :rotflmao:

Home Alone got a 66%. It's the greatest Christmas movie ever made. Imagine if we didn't go because some smuck said it was just an average movie and don't waste your money

How is that any different from print media employing random film critics to tell us how to feel for the first 80 years or so of the Hollywood studio system? The more things change, the more they stay the same.

2 things. Growing up there was a handful of people reviewing movies and didn't have an agenda. Now every slapdick doesn't have a job and thinks watching movies for a living is a job by videoing themselves and trying to one up the other person so they can get views. People live on these bums every word and already have a preconceived notion going into these movies. They are so addicted to these guys and social media that even if they like the movie they will still side with them majority of the times. It's exhausting and miserable

2nd I never paid attention or cared what any of the critics thought of Home alone or mighty ducks when I was a kid or even lord of the rings when I got to high school. So I didn't see anything these people said nor did I care.

I wish they showed more of the original beef part of the restaurant in season 3. That seems to be the only part that is profiting and succeeding.



she's my MVP of season 3. Glad she just showed up on season 4

starting season 4. Season 1 and 2 were brilliant. Season 3 was really slow outside of a couple episodes. Napkin was fantastic.

Really enjoyed Gary. Jon B is a terrific actor. I hope they don't make me keep hating Sydney this season.

Pamplona is awesome. Not to watch anything on tv though
