yeah i was appalled that Hot Tub Time Machine was not an accurate period piece

p sure the movie was aiming for "lol"s not "documentary realism"

worst example of non-historicism was Craig Robinson singing "started" instead of "retarded," but apparently the director didn't know that was even a radio version

Oh, that wasn't why I didn't like the film.

Basically, it stopped being funny, beyond the loleighties angle.

one year passes...

What a weird movie. Overall pretty funny but uh if you are going to bring music back from the future why would you pick the Black Eyed Peas?

Also I wish that one bald guy wasn't in this movie. I guess all the other characters were so vacant that he was essential to driving the plot but there was a lot of potential for some 80s humor that got tossed aside in favor of shock comedy from the loser brother of the trailer park guy from GTAV.

eight months pass...

I haven't been so excited for a sequel since 'another stakeout'

four weeks pass...

Sequel couldn't muster the amount of heart (what little there was) that there was in the first one, and it's basically even dumber and more unforgivable than 22 Jump Street's shamelessness. But there were enough stupid, stupid jokes to elicit guilty lols from me

the sequel bombed really badly

i finally watched the original film. it was neither as bad nor as good as some have suggested. i say that, though, as someone who laughs very easily.

above all, it seemed profoundly /lazy/, like a bunch of writers hashed out a rough draft and never bothered to rework it.

i thought the use of public enemy was really discordant; so odd to hear chuck d's politicized lyrics being used as nothing other than a generic "80s badass" signifier.

I dunno. (amateurist), Friday, 27 February 2015 23:45 (nine years ago) link
