Without bludreyna, humanity would have died out, try to cut up the facts however you want. When janhedda led her bitch-made fifth column into rebellion, She ensured the destruction of the planet. Yet, everyone wants to pin it all on their literal savior, because they cry at night thinking about what they had to do to survive. Get out of my loving face

Clark is annoying as gently caress because he's so obsessed and insistent with one single idea of what "Christmas" is. Like why not have margaritas? Why is it only one specific thing?? Boomers are just like that all they want is to check boxes off and not engage with the actual spirit of something.

The ritual of doing something has its own fun too. Like it's okay to engage with things just because it's a "thing". Don't be such a grump.

Yeah but if things go wrong, just roll with it. That's how traditions and in-jokes get started. Don't just get upset and obsessed because you have one single idea of the "right time"

Somebody's mom gave that movie to me before I shipped off to college in 2004 and it was dated and creepy then. John Belushi has a few funny scenes, but much like your favorite classic rock station, its legend is being propped up by tasteless boomers. Sowwy.


Edit: Boomers love The Animal's House because it provides evidence to validate the stories of their former exploits, which, much like their beer guts, have grown substantially in size since the 70s.

E: I would actually be interested in hearing more opinions about movies where the people made out to be bad guys are actually being treated unreasonably, and I don't mean tacky poo poo like "KILLMONGER WAS RIGHT," I mean more down to earth crap like people being assholes to the Kranks for not wanting to go to Christmas or Todd and Margo being tormented by a family of imbeciles nonstop.

if you think about it the real victim of cable guy is the cable guy and if jack black wasnt such an insecure gently caress who was looked down on the cable guy for trying to be friends with his friend the entire movie could of been avoided. that and if the real cable guy wasnt such a gently caress up that some masked vigilante is out there turning on peoples cable.

I had a re-watch of National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation (1989) and I realized these two things:

1. Its not that funny anymore
2. The next door neighbours (Todd and Margo) are consistently portrayed as uptight yuppies who deserve to have their nights and home ruined by the rag-tag yet "real" Griswolds. The Griswolds absolutely terrorize these people through sheer ignorance and obnoxious behavior. The Griswolds are lovely loving neighbours.

Todd and Margo have no children and live in a very nice suburb of Chicago. They are clearly busy professionals just trying to enjoy their time off. At one point they are seen enjoying margaritas and a cheese plate, a combination that while decidedly "un-christmas-y" sounds like a really nice respite from the stodgy egg-nog and roast being enjoyed next door. At one point, when Clark is hanging a truly obnoxious amount of Christmas lights; they hope that he might fall and break his neck. This is meant to portray them as soulless and detestable, but they've had to put up with this selfish, tradition-obsessed, disaster prone maniac for untold Christmas seasons. If my next door neighbours were pumping the blackwater from their camper trailer into the storm drain in front of my home, let alone downing trees through my windows while I'm trying to drink some booze and enjoy the DINK life with my beautiful wife who happens to be Julia Louis-Dreyfuss, I'd be more than a bit upset. I doubt I'd call the police, but I might poo poo in their new swimming pool.

Cheers

edit: Oh yeah and their jogging and fitness is presented as being elitist and silly instead of just a good balanced way to live. These people are completely justified in their frustration.

The intended audience relates to the Griswolds.

The protagonists of The Lost World: Jurassic Park make a mockery of conservation science by trying to rescue and preserve man-made genetic abominations. In their quest to "save the dinosaurs," they manage to get dozens of people killed, throw San Fransisco into total bedlam, and aided in the proliferation of invasive species further destabilizing ecosystems worldwide.

The protagonists go to the island just to record the dinosaurs and ingen takes them off the island to San diego

Yeah not to totally continue the pile on here but Blue Velvet isn't exactly the most accessible film for some people. Some folks want the movie to take control and stick to recognizable arcs so they can just relax and take in a story without having to solve a mystery.

Prior to Blue Velvet, Lynch had directed The Elephant Man and Dune; two films that definitely had some of his characteristic style but were significantly muted in comparison. Eraserhead seemed like an odd duck at that point. His first major feature after one critical success (that is a normal film by most standards) and one big Hollywood flop, was far more predictive of his later stylistic flair and weird juxtaposition between lighthearted melodrama and brutally dark poo poo, so a lot of reviewers didn't get it at the time. Ebert thinking Blue Velvet being mocking in tone and holding bizarre contrast with its darker material was an entirely natural response at that point in time. He wasn't the only person to have that view. It wasn't until Twin Peaks until people fully gelled with his vibe and realized that he was being affectionate and genuine rather than sardonically cruel.

Lynch basically comes part and parcel with his films, people know what he is like and that informs the watching experience. He's so absurdly influential and famous now that people accept his work at face value without seeing them as confrontational, that wasn't really established yet by Blue Velvet.
