Man... I totally blanked on these movies for a second. They were actually such a blast back when I used to watch them...
Kali said:I honestly don't think they would act the same way people do today. Back then, humans were guided by this incredibly sharp instinct because we were so much more connected to the natural world—something you just can't say about us anymore. We’ve become stunted. Most people nowadays are driven by things that have absolutely nothing to do with our true nature. Everything feels artificial, calculated, and just... off. Sure, there’s been change, but it hasn't been for the better. This constant pushing of boundaries feels like we're just one step closer to losing what actually makes us human.
Uhm, no way! Instinct hasn't changed at all! It’s still right there inside us. We just call it parapsychology now!
Nah, I think the biggest shifts are actually about self-awareness and education. A long time ago, you didn't necessarily need an education just to get by in life, but nowadays? It’s basically a requirement. As for self-awareness, people seem to be getting hyper-fixated on their surroundings—like nature—but they're looking at it through a totally warped lens. Just look at the whole vegetarian movement: "We won't eat anything with a face."
On top of that, we've reached this point where people just take everything for granted, which means we aren't really evolving. Sure, our civilization is packed with incredible inventions, scientific breakthroughs, and massive progress, but how much does the average person actually understand or even know how to replicate? Seriously, ha?
Movies/VHS/DVD/Digital Downloads; what’s everyone currently watching?
Alright, so I finally went to see this movie in theaters (after being talked into it), and honestly? It was awesome. Hey, you gotta have some fun sometimes, and I have to say, it actually landed some pretty hilarious jokes. The whole thing is straightforward, the pacing is spot on, and it wraps everything up nicely...
Anyway, if you're looking for a good time, go see it! Highly recommend!
