    I will stand by Pauly Shore’s Pinocchio as pure art, but I can’t promise that I’ve ever seen it sober, or that I’ve sat through the entire thing (I may have?).

    I also enjoyed Wonka which has decent ratings but I’ve always heard people talking shit on it.

    I like the White Men Cant Jump remake.

    I actually think that theres some movies that SHOULD be remade every 15 to 20 years. I would watch Major League if it was remade every 5 to 10 years. New city, new cast, new jokes, new location, callbacks, subverting expectations… but same premise a shitty baseball team needs to get better or else. Give young up and coming actors an excuse to have fun, ham it up, play a wacky character.

    Hell make it a punishment for being the statistically worst team for the season that they make it. “Sorry Boston but… you really ate shit this year…”

    Super Mario Bros (1993)

    It was objectively a trainwreck but it was awesome when you were 8 and It brought video games to the big screen for the first time. I will always love it.

    Kung Pow: Enter the Fist. Yes it’s utterly ridiculous. I don’t care, it’s still a masterpiece of absurdity to me. That 13% on RT is a shame.

    Also how has it been 23 years since its release.

      The movie was filmed down the street from where I grew up, so maybe for that reason or just for whatever lack of parenting reason, I watched this movie multiple times at the age of like 8 or 9.

      I turned out okay, everything is fine. I think I need to rewatch it to check exactly in which ways it fucked me up.

    Although usually spoofs don’t get any good rating I think this one should be an exception:

    Scary movie 3

    It honestly did it better than the movies it was making fun of.

    Also, crack high voltage is way more fun than the rating lets on.

        Oh for sure, the first 3 are great, and I’ll even give some credit to 4.

        But 3 was peak, there is no scene that feels half baked. Even the subtle gags like the hat getting bigger became a classic.

    I JUST rewatched Gone in Sixty Seconds on a whim, on like Thursday, and spotted that it apparently has a 38% critic rating from Rotten Tomatoes. Fuck that noise, that movie is a materpiece of filmography.

      Agreed! I love to hate gone in sixty seconds, I feel the same way about the need for speed movie as well. If you haven’t seen it I recommend watching the NFS movie.

      Tomato-meter has it currently as 26%

      I think it was just too much Race, Chase, Heist Fatigue. When it came out, everyone watched it and had a good time. They got lulled in by the 27 F&F movies. But it’s not the same thing.

            Uhhhh, I dunno, I suppose that’s possible. Rotten Tomatoes wasn’t around in 2000, was it? Would they have aggregated from, like, newspaper reviews at the time?

              That’s a damn good question let me look it up

              From their FAQ:

              Rotten Tomatoes has a team of curators whose job is to gather thousands of movie and TV reviews weekly. The team constantly collects movie and TV reviews from Tomatometer-approved critics and publications generating Tomatometer scores. Our curation process considers these reviews, noting if they are Fresh or Rotten, and our curators choose a representative pull-quote. Tomatometer-approved critics can also self-submit their reviews.
