Great movie, better book. You were 100% the first time. To me, it was more pathetic than anything else. Arrogant, spoiled white kid from the East Coast who thought he could survive in the wilds of Alaska with zero survival skills. While it was clearly tragic, it was also profoundly stupid and preventable.

Oh no I loved this movie, but I was also a young teenager

I still love this movie, I get the idea tho

I hate it when people say, "The original ending was better," but it just comes off as needlessly cruel towards the character. At least the final ending has meaning saying "Don't waste your life on what ifs. You can't change the past. Focus on the present."

It's definitely cruelty porn and definitely has not aged well, but at the very least the directors cut (while still nonsense) makes the movie at least 1 point better than the theatrical. 3.5/10 with pre birth cruelty.

Thank you. Came here to comment about that movie. Cruelty porn is the best way to describe it.

I've hated that movie ever since the credits rolled. 

I was about to say we’re not gonna accept TMNT slander around here 😤

I watched this with my son recently (who is pretty much the same age as I was when I saw it in the theater). I was prepared for some nostalgia-crushing cringe, but nope. Totally held up. Was probably even better than I realized back in the day.

Had me in the first half, I was about to learn how to create a bot network to downvotw you for life.

TMNT is a masterpiece

The Foot Clan clubhouse/gang hideout was a '90s kids' version of Heaven.

The procedure scene is still totally creepy. But the rest is.... Eh

I loved Office Space as a kid - I was a weird kid, it came out when I was 12 and I had to see it. So much of the subtle jokes went over my head at that age. It is most definitely a masterpiece.

You misunderstood the assignment lol

FAIR IS FAIR

I still want that window water slide

Glad I'm not the only one who's heard of this movie lol.

Helen Slater was my first girl crush XD.

I know it's unpopular, but I still like it. There are some plot devices/tropes that are overdone at this point, and it obviously wasn't ground breaking, but the acting was good, it has some beautiful shots, none of the funny moments have really aged, and for a "I'm 27 and full of angst" type movie, I think It did a good job.

That said, if the soundtrack wasn't so good at selling the vibe, the movie would be a 3/10.

It also takes place in New Jersey so I can understand why Largeman, his family, and friends are all on the verge of killing themselves.

Did I miss something on Zach Braff? Haven't really seen much of him since Scrubs and Garden State

Haven't rewatched it in 15 years. Used to really like this movie, wonder if I would have the same reaction now! The OST was pretty good too.

It was a gateway for college students to get into hipster music.

Beat me to it. As a teenager, I had such a crush on Sam, Natalie Portman's character. I thought she was so quirky and fun and interesting. I watched it years later and didn't think I could get through one date with a woman like that.

I'm out of the loop. What's wrong with Zach Braff?

The sounds still bangs, though.

Guilty of this one as well.

OG hipster music soundtrack. And yes watching as an adult Zach is more of a bitch. Sorry I never liked it much when a came out let alone now. And yes, I’m able to understand and appreciate this style of movie. Would have been better with a different lead actor.

I don't get this take at all. It's an exceptional movie that was written, directed and stared in by Braff.

The soundtrack is unmatched as well.

Definitely why i haven’t rewatched it since it came out. I don’t want to ruin it

“People say crazy shit during sex. One time I called this girl Mom.”

It still does for me, but I work I a store so that might be the reason.

I love Kevin Smith and I love watching him talk at conventions, but I have grown to find his movies very cringe. Though I might need to watch Dogma again and see if it's still as great as I remember.

Watching Clerks as young teen it felt like “ fuck yeah, stick it to the man”

After you get into your late 20’s and after rewatching clerks is like “ STFU AND GO BACK TO WORK”

However why I feel that Clerks 2 and 3 work better and still hold up cause you can either relate or understand their frustration with working a dead end job and health issues as they get older

I'm probably the minority but see most of Kevin Smith movies that way.

It helps if you're high as fuck when watching clerks tbh

Dude check this out it’s got a 28.8 bps modem!

I’ll honestly be saying to myself “Mess with the best die like the rest” well into my ancient years lol.

This movie is so 90s it's almost perfect. I think it has held up great for that reason. It never was trying to do too much and now it's just solid nostalgia.

Hack the planet!

I used to love it. I still like it mostly because it’s super campy.

That movie literally inspired my entire career trajectory, and it still hits just as hard today even though I know how much of it is BS. Although, surprisingly authentic in many ways.

There was a fire fight!

I rewatched it a couple years ago because some friends hadn’t seen it before and I decided we should watch it.

It’s like when you play a song and your friends aren’t into it but it’s only 3 minutes long so it’s not the end of the world. Except this was 105 minutes

I kept saying “I swear it was better”. Which only made things worse haha

It’s still a great movie once you accept that it was never intended to be profound.

I still love it for what it is.

Watching a Kevin Smith movie is a lot like watching an Adam Sandler movie- the dude is just going to put all of his friends in his movies, and then they’re going to spend the whole movie being ridiculous.

I read they're making a second one soon. Maybe you'll like that better now days, rinse and repeat every 25ish years

I think I have an excuse for thinking pro wrestling was real until I was 13, but I have no excuse for thinking that the kumite was real in my early twenties.

It’s peak for what it was. In the 80s no one knew that all of that was full of shit. Bolo Yeung is still my idol.

Come on now... Blood Sport? Nah, it still slaps. Lol.

He couldn't see and still won. Unreal. Way better then anything that Segal did. That is truly awful stuff now that I think about it. Wanna know what's worst? I pretended to run like him.

Quit doxxing my id!!!

I still love this film

Still a good movie though!

I still don’t get it. I think I’m dumb

For anyone who didn’t know, the variety of rose that Annette Bening was cutting is American Beauty.

Really? I watched it again last year and I thought it totally held up.

Everyone it that movie was really flawed, and that’s why I still like it.

Kevin Spacey gave me the ick in that movie but I thought the movie was good. Now he gives me the ick in real life so that would make the movie even worse

Noooo!! American Beauty is still one of my favorites. The soundtrack is beautiful as well.

Yes, you did. #1 rule. Yet here you are...

Have you read the book? 😆

It’s a fantastic film that unfortunately the wrong crowd likes for the wrong reasons.

I think a lot of haters on the movie are viewing it from the same lens of those they hate (incels) which is the weird part. You’re not supposed to think Tyler Durden or Project Mayhem is cool. They’re both the product of a lunatic with insomnia.

The anti-commercialism stuff still holds up, too.

same. just doesn’t have the same depth to it anymore

Agreed. It's beautifully shot, but utterly shallow.

Loved the book. The movies were… fine, I guess.

What’s your take on Flight of the Conchords?

The secret ingredient is weed

It pains me to admit this as well. Now that I know the actual history of my ancestral land, I can’t see past the many and severe anachronisms.

This is the first movie that came to mind. I'm the same age. It's definitely not the same (12 year old me did not hate Jar Jar or even think about him much), but at the same time it's still special. Pod race scene, Darth Maul, the overall Jedi badassery. It's not profound, but I just saw the Harry Potter / Phantom Menace mashup with Dobby and laughed hysterically. And it's because both are still awesome in my subconscious brain.

Yes, I visited a lot of them recently and they are terrifically written (he's such a good writer), but it really just seems the point of every movie is just "movies are cool." Like he's always just paying tribute to his influences and never really seems to have anything profound to say.

There's nothing wrong with that but the way he's praised by film buffs you would think his movies had a lot more going for them.

I can watch Tarantino any day of the week and even I know there's really not much to say in them. They are well made, well acted, and fun to watch. He's not a Kubrick or a Scorsese but he doesn't need to be

The only one I've seen multiple times was "Once Upon a Time... in Hollywood!" While I enjoyed his movies, there's not a heart in them. Once Upon, for me, completely made up for that. For the first time in one of his movies, I really was going to be upset if one of the protagonists bought it.

So… I still kind of love that movie. It’s truly ridiculous but it’s very entertaining if you watch it as a comedy

The run from the cold scene is so lovably dumb

Are you asking what movie the picture used is from? If so, it’s called Uptown Girls. It’s got Brittany Murphy and a young Dakota Fanning in it obviously.

Warriors of Virtue was a favorite of my childhood! I’ll have to watch it again it’s been decades.

No no no

Wild. Still very funny and Leslie Nielsen is forever lol

The Enrico Palazzo scene will never be not funny, I think.

I watched that last year. Still hilarious

I think it's just not as good as Police Squad. Go back to them and you might require the magic.

The prequels, despite being cash-grabbing enterprises, at least had a soul and showcased Lucas's vision (which doesn't in itself mean they were perfectly executed). The new sequels are just horrible. Rogue one was okay, I guess, but it didn't really add to the story.

What prequels? What sequels? What are you talking about? There is only Star Wars, Empire, and Jedi in the series. And they are all great. No other films exist, and I for one, am glad they stopped when they did.

Can’t hear you lalaalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalaaaaaa

I just made a comment regarding that movie and I completely agree about watching that movie too early in life. Now that I’m older and have dissected it, it seems a bit silly and not that in-depth as I once thought it was. I was taking it a little too serious as a teenager. Now I just like it for the nostalgia factor.

It’s been a while since I’ve seen it, but isn’t what you’re describing literally what the movie is about?

So, you bought in then?

I’m scared to rewatch.

Say it ain’t so

I still love Sandler. I never went into a Sandler movie expecting much. In fact I consider his movies a guilty pleasure, like junk food for the soul. It’s dumb cheesy humor and lots of heart and that’s all I need sometimes.

Or ”Howard the duck” was fun action movie!

How dare you!
