TV/Movies Megathread

I know, it deserves an A+.

[CountDeMoney]

You had to work through problems with a movie.    About Legos.

You'd hate it.  Kids these days, with their fucking interlocking brick systems.

Little spoiled rat bastards.  In my time, you either had a red astronaut or a white astronaut.  That was it during the Cold War.  Those were your choices during the Reagan Administration.  None of this merchanidizing agreements.  We had to invent a Darth Vader Lego, goddammit.

The astronaut is in The LEGO Movie.  He's a great character.

All I had were Lincoln logs and erector sets so stfu

I never had Legos.  All my friends did.    PARENTS AND SANTA WERE TOO CHEAP

I think the main problem was that he's not 12 years old. Dunno how he got over that one.

I just watched the Lego movie. A+

[jimmy olsen]

Not true.  I gave The LEGO Movie an A, and now that I've worked through my problems with it, plan on upgrading it to an A+ at the end of the year.  That movie was total fun.

The Croods was obviously a fantasy, complete with an owlbear. Condemning it for being paleontologically inaccurate is the height of pedantry.

Which is ironic, because when I was a kid I had shitloads of Legos, because they were cheap over here. It was a few years later that there was a serious price hike.

[CountDeMoney]

Ed probably used Legos with his Guns of Navarone playset.  Fucking 1%ers.

[Tonitrus]

I am pretty sure I had red indians storming a Nazi mountain fortress playset at some point.

Sadly, Tim probably has a map for that.

One of the first Christmas gifts I remember was a wooden Wild West fort with walls, towers and a few buildings. I must have been 4 at the time. Again, my parents were poor, and that was a cheap gift, with some plastic Cowboys and Indians.

15 years later I saw a comparable wooden fort, and the price was ridonculous, because suddenly wood = quality = triple the price of what plastic costs.
