Yeah, but if watch it WITH mashed potatoes, imagine the fun.  It really is a very clever movie.  

Before I was paid to speak french...I was a mapmaker.

I'm going to finish off the viewing with pulling up the YouTube clip of Closet Cases of the Nerd Kind.

Haven’t tried All of Me recently...will put it is the queue and report back

"Back in bowl."

I don't know if The Jerk would go over with young people today. Others to consider from the Steve Martin catalog: The Man With Two Brains, My Blue Heaven, L.A. Story, Leap Of Faith, Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, Parenthood. 

It was just a bit part but one might also consider Little Shop Of Horrors.

We're going to attempt Close Encounters of the Third Kind tonight. I predict the line of "I'm bored" will be thrown out on more than one occasion. 

My kids did not like Close Encounters and bailed on it when we tried to watch it a few years ago. Same thing with Time Bandits and The Dark Crystal. Actually most of the scifi movies listed here have been a bust with the kids.

I spent the lunch times of my 11th year watching a VHS that had First Blood, Better off Dead and a porno called Unimaginable on it.  Get to the end, rewind and play again.

I would highly recommend that.

my 9yo daughter was WTF-ing all through Bill and Ted and generally confused.  The scenes with Missy (no, call me mom) were a little awkward.

What did you think of this movie on rewatch, assuming you haven't seen it in 20+ years.  I'd never seen it so I watched it a month ago.  I'm fairly certain it's one of the worst movies I've ever made it all the way through.  Even adjusting my expectations and going in knowing what I was watching, it somehow failed to even come close to my low expectations.

No one believes you watched the whole porno, yet alone multiple times.

Ha.  It was worse on watching it now.  I am huge KR fan and it's fun to watch him be so stupid.  my kids liked making fun of Napoleon and talking in fake French accents.

but yeah, the movie does not age well at all, but I am still OK with having wasted my family's time on the rewatch.  The solution to life, the universe and everything can wait one more day.

No Field of Dreams?

I think they should remake this movie.  This time the Farmer gets HUGE tax incentives and public money to build the stadium.  Zoning is waived and heavy construction rocks a small farm community torn in two by the highway need to transport the "they"

Watched About Last Night on Crackle during the quarantine; pretty good flick, Belushi's character would have fit right in to the SurlyHorns community.

Belushi was the only redeeming value in that shitty movie.

Mighty Ducks 2 is excellent. Knuckle puck. Bash Brothers. 1 is ok and 3 is pretty terrible. They can beat Iceland but can’t make Varsity?

My 4 year old is almost old enough for these. I remember liking Harry and the Hendersons and Hook a great deal as a kid
