Funko Pops, to me.

I understand that some of them are fairly overpriced, but I also really like them as is. It doesn't work on all characters, but it sometimes work on a lot and there's so much representation and variety that it's good to have a few.

If people want to talk about waste of plastic and vinyl, they should bark at the companies who make teeny tiny figurines that serve no purpose and have so little detail that spending any money on them is a waste.

Waterworld is a fantastic movie. Creative world-building, unbelievable sets, stunts and performances (Dennis Hoper as an over the top villain? Yes please) I just can't understand all of the hate it received!

I found it quite preachy, but still watchable if you don't think about it too hard.

"Oil = bad". "Smokers = bad". Hopper aside, the bad guys were as shallow as you can get in character development.

Plus at 2h15m it was about 45 minutes longer than it should have been, and Kevin Costner is a polarising actor for some due to his lack of charisma.

All that said, I watched it twice. Once partly to admire Jeanne Tripplehorn's dress, which should have got a best supporting role.

Where did they get the cigarettes? Were they 20 year old stale cigarettes?

Best complaint I heard was "it's just mad max on water" .

WTF? That sounds awesome.

Right?? How could you not be entertained by that??

I don't think I'm quite as effusive about it as you, but it was a good movie and I don't understand the hate either

I’ll talk all kinds of shit about that movie, but I’ve watched it end to end more times than most movies I’ve seen, and it’s never been a hate watch.

Finally someone likes this movie I loved it. I need to watch the ulysses cut sometime

I’ma put Super Mario Bros. up as a contender too. Doesn’t get much better than Dennis Hopper and Bob Hoskins.

[–] altima_neo@lemmy.zip 1 points 9 minutes ago

I fucking love that movie. Blade Runners set designer worked on that too

[–] HobbitFoot@thelemmy.club 1 points 1 hour ago

I'll put the movie as more ambitious than anything else.

[–] Nemo@slrpnk.net 3 points 10 hours ago

I love Dennis Hopper as Bowser in the Super Mario Brothers
