Then you don't think there is a difference between nostalgia fueling a love of Casablanca and nostalgia fueling a love of Nickelback?

I think there's a big difference between adult men watching Thundercats and me watching Princess Mononoke or Star Wars.  The first was terrible in the first place and nostalgia shouldn't make a damn bit of difference.   The other two are roundly excellent, and nostalgia may be a part of my enjoyment but it's not all of it. 

No, there really isn't.  Stop trying to be special.  Your tastes are not objective.

You are seriously comparing Thundercats to Princess Mononoke?

Are you seriously suggesting there is some big difference?

You should love Casablanca cause it's a great movie, not because you saw it as a kid.

1.  Two of the most annoying sidekicks in the history of cinema until Lucas outdid himself with Jar-Jar.

This is the issue I can never get past with that film.

I agree that Crystal Skull was actually pretty fun until they got to the temple.  I still prefer it to Temple of Doom.

That's the reason why 20 years ago films took more gambles, while we are now flooded with recycled material: adaptations from successful properties of other media, remakes and sequels.

I would say that has more to do with the recession hitting us were people have less money, so they won't really "take a chance" with a movie.
Because there is still original content being done in Hollywood.  And there was a load of crap being done 20-40-60 years ago.  Every Hollywood movie I've seen from the 50s and 60s figures the same wooden actresses, totally hysterical, needing to be either rescued or slapped around to their senses by their male.  Every John Wayne movie looks&feel the same, plus a few extra cow boys movies where they try a new John Wayne.

So, no, i have to disagree, that Hollywood is only now producing crap and everything was better before: they have always made bad movies, alongside some very good ones.

Short Round was hilarious. "No time for love, doctah Jones, we got company!"

Does anyone love Nickelback because of nostalgia?

You've been checking out the wrong ones then.

They aren't mutually exclusive, obviously.

Hm, Lucas wants to donate at least a billion to an education focused charity.

Should have spent it on low income housing.

This is supposed to make it all OK?

I'll be starting a Languish Education Fund if anyone wants to get in on this action.

I wonder if that's still going thru.

Does he want support the fine Electrical Engineering Students of Languish?
