That would have been a good comedy about having a kid. You know, if the main character got an abortion and nothing at all changed.

The girl and the doctor somberly discuss the procedure of an abortion, including the health risks to the mother, and the moral implications while Seth rogen sits there and keeps farting and says things like “gently caress that one fuckin stinks” and “goddamn I need to check my drawers I think some leaked out”

The sequel “This is 40” was pretty awesome though.

The only thing I know about this movie is that the main characters meet I think 3 Philadelphia Flyers, and one of them takes out his false teeth that he got after getting smashed in the face with a puck. Sounds like a pretty good movie to me.

Loved watching the Doctor Who episode "The Long Game" which has a subplot of one of the companions (who is from the year 2012 at the time of the episode aired in 2005) who uses a flipphone that been enhanced to dial at any point in history to their house to call his answering machine to store it.

Man, I hadn't seen Back to the Future II since probably VHS, but I'm taking the day off sick and watching it now and talk about not aging well. Still entertaining I guess, but for entirely different reasons.

Because Blader Runner is going to look pretty sad come 2019 unless Trump kicks dystopia up a notch.

Where are my flying cars?!  Though I guess they knew they were making a crazy version of the future for effect, knowing it would be almost entirely inaccurate. Still amusing though.

I loved Knocked Up at the time. Haven't revisited it since. The funniest line from it that still makes me chuckle is "the little kid going You know what I googled last night? Murder." Lost in Translation was (is?) my favorite movie, but I'm real scared of all the uncomfortable race stuff I probably missed so I haven't gone back to that either.

I watched it for the first time recently. In terms of dated racist stuff it’s not that bad. It’s mostly just cultural misunderstandings. The hooker scene was a bit cringeworthy though.

Gaunab posted:Reading up on it, Heigl's comments about the film were true but taken out of context: I think the real version of Knocked Up would go right up until the discussion where both of them find out they aren't a good fit, then the woman finding out she's pregnant, then remembers that the father is some rear end in a top hat who farts on pillows and has two thousand dollars in the bank, then asks her sister for a loan and gets an abortion and moves on with life. Seriously, there is nobody in the loving world in her position that would say 'I need this muppet in my life because of my baby.' She would dump him and that fetus faster than a hot chicken mcnugget and with about as much emotion. If anything, the whole thing should be called 'Wrap It Up' and have her bitching as she recovers, vowing to only date non-muppet men from that point forward.

But there was a hole in her heart that only love could fill. I liked the move. And it's still not even the worst Katherine Heigl movie about finding yourself with unwanted children. That would be Life as We Know It where she inherits Christina Hendricks baby.

It's just sad that her career peaked when she was about 14, with Under Siege 2.

I was listening to a podcast about the film the other day and apparently she was 15 when the thong scene was filmed. That’s just weird.

Knocked Up was just a vehicle for Judd Apatow to kiss up to his high pitched wife and have various characters shower praise and compliments upon her. Dude is almost as whipped as Morgan Spurlock

It did have the scene where Rogan says, "he better get back in there or he's gonna miss out on the rest of the draft" and I thought that was pretty funny.

I don't really get the hate for Knocked Up. I remember liking it well enough when I saw it and I don't think it was trying to be huge morality play so much as focusing on immaturity and how hard it is to have a kid, especially with someone you didn't plan on having one with. it was fine and seemed to poo poo on everyone equally.

So they chose to go into the full blown wild never gonna happen figure instead. So their intentions aged well. So weird that the "future" of BTTF2 was three years ago.

Krispy Wafer posted:When you think about it, 2015 Biff was probably only a couple of years from a political run... And in hindsight Biff wasn't really as cowardly as Trump is turning out to be. You don't see Biff firing people via FedEx either, or constantly backing down after making nuclear threats to various countries that aren't run by white people. I guess what I'm saying is that Biff would be a better president even if he's modeled after the common representation of Trump, who is a notorious coward.

I remember liking it well enough when I saw it and I don't think it was trying to be huge morality play so much as focusing on immaturity and how hard it is to have a kid, especially with someone you didn't plan on having one with. It would have been fine if they just came out and said 'let's pretend abortion and other contraceptive after-the-fact solutions exist and all of this is a fever dream designed to get to a certain point.' It wasn't a point of making GBS threads on anybody, it was that the whole situation had to pull some major credibility strings that it didn't really have to. Also, I completely forgot that Apatow's wife's subplot was basically a very good reason why marriage and having responsibilities in that way is not something to be taken lightly. If the movie was honest about the plot, the movie would have ended with Heigl getting an abortion and the Marijuana Muppet telling her that he was free to live his life the way he wanted and if she didn't like it she could leave it, which she had already decided on about twenty minutes in. And there's a lot of material in the movie to show that Apatow's idea of adulthood and marriage is basically 'you have to do it and you're going to do it so just cut to the suffering and divorce already.' It's a very pessimistic view of marriage and, to be honest, it really does push the idea that our cultural viewpoints on marriage are like brussel sprouts at Christmas: nobody knows why we do it, but we do and we hate it and it's tradition and blah blah just shut up and accept it via peer pressure blah.
