teachercd Posted May 10, 2017 Author Share Posted May 10, 2017 Goonies...I know there are people that are offended by Goonies. 1. Asian kid "Data" has offensive name and is into gadgets and so is his dad. WOW. NOT FUNNY PEOPLE 2. Sloth is locked up in the basement. WRONG. NOT FUNNY 3. Wealthy land developer is trying to buy land from people that can't afford it so that he can build on it? GASP! EVIL 4. Don't get me started on the political commentary of prisons. The breaking out scene at the start clearly is pushing an agenda of overcrowded prisons because of our biased judicial system. Quote Link to comment
teachercd Posted May 10, 2017 Author Share Posted May 10, 2017 Just goes to show how people today have become so incredibly thin skinned. Seem like people look for an excuse to be offended. It's gotten to the point where people can't even discuss an issue without getting all offended. This is so true. You know....it's strange though. We went through a long time when people on the big screen couldn't even be seen sleeping in the same bed. Then.....the 80s hit and these great movies were made. They really did have an interesting societal affect. Now....it seems like society has become more and more relaxed with sexual issues and other social issues. But....when it comes to movies, there are no movies like these made anymore in large part because so many people would find them offensive. The 80s movies were a very special and strange part of movie history. Very true! There are a lot of 80's movies that were probably a bit deeper than we give them credit for. Quote Link to comment

As a fat kid, I am still scarred by this. Quote Link to comment

It's one thing to be gross and obscene, I think Teach is commenting about movies that were made in the past that were comedies, but people may not find them funny anymore because of the over-sensitivity and political correctness of today's society. 3 Quote Link to comment

JJ Husker Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 Ha, Blazing Saddles. I was just a kid and my parents went to see it. The next night at dinner the whole family is at the table and my mom asks out of the blue "what's a twat?" Milk shot out my nose, my brother dropped his fork and the incredulous look my dad gave my mom...it was priceless. My mom's expression immediately changed and she says "Oh....it's something like that?" True story. 1 Quote Link to comment
BigRedBuster Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 I so...so....SO wanted Obama at his first address to congress to walk up to the podium and say...."Excuse me while I whip this out". It would have been the best opening line of a speech ever. 1 Quote Link to comment
