I like that movie the Mist. It's a cool concept and has a brutal twist ending but the 90's CGI in it is so so so bad. It also came out in 2007 and not the 90's

My great-grandfather started Larsen Pork Products with little more than three pigs and a killing hammer. Today, I'm proud to say, we kill more pigs than pig hepatitis.

The real problem with watching old Sienfeld shows is remembering that the actor who plays Kramer is a racist rear end in a top hat.

If your old movies aren't working anymore, that's the hint it's time to update your format, OP. Blu Ray players are pretty affordable now.

It's a lot harder to suspend disbelief watching older movies, I mean you can totally tell that Charlie Chan is played by a white guy, I guess audiences were easier to fool back then.

I liked this movie because you never get a clear shot of the huge monsters, just glimpses of these towering behemoths. Leaves much to the imagination in a good way

Mulder what if people sometimes "faced challenges" and life "had difficulties," a concept so foreign in the 90's that we have to portray it as a supernatural phenomena?

Ok now I'll bend over the other way so you can see my rear end in my PANTS. No one else has leather pants, just me, the HOT GIRL.

Ok now down my blouse, ok now my rear end. And again. Now, blouse, now rear end.

Yo yo yo it's me THE MI-NOR-I-TAAAAAAYY!!

That's it, I'm a minority. I'm (black/hispanic/other) and they don't even know how to do my movie makeup, I'm kind of ORANGE and SHINY.

All my lines are dated slang no one used even when this movie was made. That's my character.

If I'm FRIENDLY and BLACK I'll probably DIE in a VAN

"I'll get the van!!!" I'll say and then DIE. In the VAN. I'll probably EXPLODE.

This could be a romantic comedy or a kids movie and I'll explode in a van

I apparently just drive around ready to "go get a van" at a moments notice, whether this makes sense for the plot or not.

No one seems to miss me in the movie, there's no funeral service, no further mention- the movie probably ends with a happy white couple.

Just a, dead friendly black guy.

Seven and silence of the lambs probably had a lot more to offer at the time, but they inspired such a wave of average to bad films and then tv shows cribbing their style that it became its own overworked subgenre of police procedural. So basically parasites have sucked the life out of them and now they barely seem worth watching.

The character is female, attractive and ASIAN

"What's the character's name?"

LUCY

"What does the part consist of?"

Standing around, next to famous people, being attractive, oh and ASIAN and named LUCY

"Ok, I'll get the low cut tops and leather pants"

Holy poo poo, holding your guns sideways is super black-cultural and cool! If the black character is from the ghetto (as opposed to the rural south, the only other place black characters come from), he will shoot his gun sideways (and then of course die later on).

I watched crouching tiger hidden dragon recently and thought it wasn't good despite being a massive fanboy on release. I then watched The Assassin and while it has some of the super freaky mysticism and gymnastics, the fighting is perfect and not overblown and the super natural poo poo is well done. I guess in ten years time I will think the assissin is not a good movie.

A wise, tall, deep voiced older character approaches a very young and nonthreatening looking character next to a computer, leaning over commandingly

"There stop! Enhance, 25 percent, ENGAGE!" he says, letting older viewers know that they still matter and real grown ups are in charge of this new fangled computer stuff

"Y-yes sir, I'm a 20 year old little pussy bitch sir"

In this movie someone kills someone or makes someone get haunted by using a computer. It beeps loudly with every keystroke, the computer operator just types furiously at random, and they went to the trouble of inventing a completely retarded and highly improbable custom user interface, probably spending a hundred thousand dollars in the process, instead of just using windows 3.11 or whatever. Because of reasons.

Since the CRT can't sync with a movie camera they also pasted their UI into the shot using a green screen.

The nerd using the computer will later die like a bitch
