The Expendables 2 Has Chuck Norris, that is all.

And then all of the other thirty and early fourty-somethings go "aha I knew it!" and take that as their cue to jack off all over the media, and I, the twenty-something, just have to sit through it and listen to people acting like Weird Science wasn't balls.

You seem to be implying that Ghostbusters and Back to the Future weren't fucking rad.

I will kindly ask you to stop, miss

Who knows? They may hit upon the right formula this time. We can but wait and see, right?

As for '80s stuff... I was actually born in 1990, so all I know of the '80s is Saturday Morning Cartoons that I watched way back when that bled over the decade line, and a couple of classic movies that took me over a decade to finally go and see.

Long story short, some of the only things I really remember from the '80s are Thundercats, all of 5 episodes of He-Man, Swat Kats, and the like.

They are pretty rad. I just find that memetic mob mentality irksome, whether it's a decade or zombies or Lovecraft or some other thing that's admittedly pretty awesome but jesus christ get over it. So yeah, I probably won't see this movie.

Although I guess eventually I'll get my revenge. Ten years from now we are never going to shut up about Pokemon.

I think the key issue here is that Pokemon is and has always been shit and Ghostbusters / BttF are five of the greatest movies ever.

Like I'm sure Pokemon 2024 will happen and that it'll make a billion trillion dollars I'm just saying I don't know why you're comparing that shit to anything with Dan Ackroyd and Bill Murray in the same movie when Michael Bay and his bloranged leBoufed atrocities are right there.

It did, but it just so happened to be the same movie as the first one.
