Uh huh.

This is exactly what i'm talking about. Loyalty for nostagia. When was the last time you guys watched it? I love that movie too, but it's true. Sorry bros.

what the fuck? i watched karate kid last month on netflix (maybe in july/august) and it's still fantastic. the remake is absolute trash

Exactly. I probably watched the Karate Kid again about 2 years ago. It is still a great film. No nostalgia for me. I wasn't even alive when the movie came out.

Some other good manly movies are 500 Days of Summer and About a Boy

Not a fan.

 

[Coldnoodle]

Every movie made before I was born sucks.

Except for Star Wars, Transformers: The Animated Movie and The Jungle Book.

You seem to be an otherwise smart person so I'll just chalk that up to a mistake on your part

Nowhere in my post did I say OKK was a bad movie.

no gray areas on gaf. when the world war z movie was first announced, I made a comment about not really enjoying the book but thinking it'd benefit massively (lol hindsight) from a visual adaptation. I was told to get the fuck out for hating on the book.

 

[Hitokage]

Why is the new Karate Kid better? It's largely the same script but with the 80's fun taken out and everything shoehorned into China. It's just bland, and doesn't quite work.

One could say it's just like the original with all the 80's cheese taken out.

All of this is irrelevant anyway. My original point was that people hate Jaden, and I really think it's mainly because he was in this movie. People hate it when you remake classics. The reaction in here is a perfect example.

yes you did. you said you liked the new one better and the new one is awful so that would make the original even worse in YOUR view!

 

[Hitokage]

I saw both versions for the first time in full during the same year. Citing specific nostalgia is a cop out, although admittedly general 80's nostalgia does factor in.

Because 9 times out of 10, the remakes suck. Off the top of my head I can think of two that I liked, Carpenters The Thing and Cape Fear. I'm sure there's some others, but they are far outnumbered by the crap ones.

 

[MechDX]

Holy crap! I have like around 80 or so 10" Marvel figures from the early to mid 90's mint in boxes and never opened. Scanning through Ebay a few of them are going for around $50 and most in the 15-25 range. Not bad considering I paid no more than $5 for each.

Whoa!

Sold for $80 and I have the same one MIB.

Yea. I liked 500 Days of Summer, it gets a lot of hate on here.

Well the whole manic pixie dream girl thing became such a one dimensional archetype for a lot of sitcoms and movies. But it's just like anything else. Bad writing can make all characters seem flat.

Or the remakes have become classics in their own right so the original was forgotten.

I remember that commercial from my childhood. Michael Bay should turn it into a movie.

Beast Mode never played for the Pats so his powers are diminished.

That's Starbird toy was the shit back in the day! All my friends had the USS Enterprise, Star Wars ships, Battlestar Galactica toys but that Starbird had them all in amazement! The sounds and lights it made were just mind blowing to a kid.

 

[cajunator]

All these goddamned children in here. The original karate kid is the best. There is no comparison.
80s > you

 

[Coldnoodle]

So many olds in here.

90's > you.

90s rule. Man I am glad to be a turtle. Rap beyond the 90s is for retard materialists with no intelligence..

but people love jackie so that doesn't really fly. the original had heart, chemistry, tension, memorable dialogue, and great characters. the remake doesn't have any of that. besides poor jersey kid standing up to a bunch of rich, white assholes is always going to resonate more than jaden smith beating up a bunch of chinese kids in their country using their martial art.

besides elizabeth shue > violin girl and the musical superiority of the original isn't up for debate.

 

[SlackAdjuster]

There wasnt enough bad calls that was insurmountable to overcome. Face it you fucking sucked and blew your chance cry more you bitch. I cant believe I still let you people get to me. Fuck yall. Worthless franchise

The reason it gets to you is that deep down you know its true.

And I cant believe you posted a 74 ring. I'm pretty sure you werent even a gleam in your dad's eye in 74.

90s were fun. Just that 80s were even better.

The only thing I liked about the new one was Jackie Chan. He's a cool dude.

No hope in Bill to figure something out?
This is the toughest test the Saints have yet faced.
I think theyre pretty well built to endure this test but the Pats are not a bad team.

Mr. Michigan, How many sox games have you seen? I bet sanjuro has seen more at Fenway than you seen this year. And your rich ass probably didnt even buy mlb.tv i assume because you dont have nfl network or sunday ticket
