C/D: "Demolition Man" (1993)

C: MurderDeathKills, three seashells, all restaurants are Taco Bell, JAM PACKED WITH STARS

D: seems to make people nauseous/angry at me for wanting to watch it

I saw this in the theater and thought it was probably the worst movie I had ever seen at that point in my life. It probably is not that bad but I really don't think it had a lot of wiggle room for improvement.

totally a classic - has aged really well too - anyone who doesnt love it has no soul

true story: first saw this movie on a television on a canal boat in England in 2006, we missed at least the first 15 minutes or so and had no idea what was happening

yea classic - written by dan waters who also wrote heathers

^ did not know that

C

DLing now

By 2032, toilet paper has fallen out of use; a set of three seashells is provided in every toilet. Though their method of use is left unexplained in the movie, Stallone later suggested a possible method in an interview as told to him by one of the film's writers involving extraction with two and scraping with one.[6]

Hahah, ignore that -- Sting intentionally baited and switched!

And fear.

x-post well that sounds . . . painful

xpost -- "So Sting we want you to do like you did in the Dune movie sorta but there's this Trent Nails guy who the kids seem to like so we're doing this new kinda set..."

Boise State always reminded me of this movie bcz they had the Taco Bell Arena.

amazing cars in this

eyeball on a stick

love the part where sandra is reciting a list of all the diseases since HIV

I've always sort of loved her.

I saw this in the theater and thought it was probably the worst movie I had ever seen at that point in my life.

I find that incredibly hard to believe

Though I'm just as guilty of that kind of hyperbole too sometimes.

ANYWAY I love how the movie opens: LOS ANGELES 1996

...and they already have experimental cryogenic prisons. For a movie that came out in 1993 that's a pretty bold prediction!

I've always sort of loved her.

I think I can forgive her for marrying Jesse James

I want to be the one who reintroduces her to fluid exchange

Rob Schneider plays the same role in Judge Dredd, also opposite Stallone. It's like someone saw Demolition Man and used it as a blueprint for futuristic Stallone.

I find that incredibly hard to believe

The person I saw this with and I still use to this day Demolition Man as our gold standard for horrible movies. I doubt he has seen it since either, maybe we should ~rescreen~ it and pull a critical 180.

yes, you should

my own personal benchmarks for badness are Poison Ivy (Drew Barrymore) and Sliver

LET'S BLOW THIS GUY

Maybe I've just seen too many shitty movies

hawww

Stallone. Snipes. Sting.

never actually seen this but i really love that 80s/early 90s mini-genre of near-future movies where screenwriters try to imagine different hyperbolic directions for los angeles.

also i like the title because it sounds like a shareware computer game from 1991.

the details of the future portrayed in this movie stuck in my mind more than any of the action sequences or plot points. classic movie, though

I love this movie! I was reading online somewhere where it was being called an awesomely bad movie, but I would argue that this movie is just straight-up fun.

I heard about so many details via jokes from friends before ever watching this movie. The Taco Bell thing, the three seashells, some random quotes...

is it this movie or judge dredd where denis leary defeats henry rollins in a joke-off to become leader of the rebel dumpster divers?

hollywood is truly our dream factory

think that's judge dredd xp

nope, it's demo man

oh wait

JOHNNY MNEMONIC

denis leary was in that??

man i wanted to love johnny mnemonic so much, but it failed :(

I think we are crossing wires here

I'm thinking that a movie cobbled together out of scenes from demolition man, judge dredd, and johnny mnemonic would be really awesome

agreed!

also i like the title because it sounds like a shareware computer game from 1991.

hahah this is too OTM.

Johnny Mnemonic is something else, man. The opening scene:

INTERNET - 2021

This movie has aged exceptionally well.
Loving Wesley snipes chattering to himself like Popeye.

This is one of my favs but then again I love escape from LA too.

this film has aged exceptionally well, like a Taco Bell cholupa left out on an August night

i like a big fat piece of pizza but come on

this movie has the most superfluous gratuitous nudity of all time - naked chick fresh out of the shower on a video phone dialing the wrong number

do you really long for chaos and disharmony?

your fascination with the vulgar twentieth century seems to be affecting your judgment.

otm tho

this is one of my favourite pieces of 90s kitsch

Political correctness has gone mad! U aren't even allowed to swear tyvm Obama! Denis Leary has to live in the sewer cause he's too real!

Also any film where stallone manages to unclench a little cf the genuinely great tango & cash

This movie makes me really nostalgic for the future
